The American Dream (The Great Gatsby) 12/6/19

- February 07, 2021

The American Dream is not what it seems and not the best to follow; people who follow, fall to the “pit of doom”. It is known as, “[ The] valley of ashes—a fantastic farm where ashes grow like wheat into ridges and hills and grotesque gardens; where ashes take the forms of houses and chimneys and rising smoke and, finally, with a transcendent effort, of men who move dimly and already crumbling through the powdery ai r.” This is where a man, Gatsby stood, stood in the ashes stinking down deeper and deeper throughout the story, hoping and trying to claim Daisy’s love for him as he did for her. Gatsby had been stuck in living a dream of a ‘real’ American so he went, and found a way to get to the top not knowing any consequences. In the hardship of all this mess, there was one person watching over it all; Doctor Eckleburg. “...[H]is eyes, dimmed a little by many paintless days under the sun and rain, brood on over the solemn dumping ground.” Doctor Eckleburg was always watching, he watch

Wishes of love 1/30/2020

The pain inside my heart engulfed me as I process what is about to happen. I hear my boyfriend, Alex say to me “Baby” He pauses despite knowing what he might say next “a goodbye is something that is forever ‘see you later’ is you will be able to talk and or see everyone again later on in life.” I was never able to process that I wasn’t coming back it was like being stabbed in the heart, my world crumbles to pieces as I think more about what is about to happen. I hugged my boyfriend to tell him that I promise I will visit him once I am able to get a job at 16. My eyes filled with tears that were made of waves like the ocean, Alex cups his massive hands to fit my small cheeks and makes a look I will never forget. His dark brown eyes so sincere and gentle, with much empathy, filled within them, the face you make when you never want someone to leave from your grasp. I feel shattered to pieces and falling into a never-ending hole of depression and loss. My mind turns while I’m talking

My Belief- Peachy Cube (Non-fiction)

- February 22, 2019

My family, with the lost culture, never had a tradition that we would constantly do. Many years ago I believed that focusing on the present was what was most important, but when my great grandfather told me the history of our family, I wondered why not focus on the past? Maybe, if I learn more about the cultures from where my family was from I can bring back my family’s culture and their main language, I never looked back to see who they, were. Ever since I was little I thought that the world only revolves around living, making a profit, praising God and going to heaven. No t knowing the fact that I never paid attention to see that there is much more to learn than just focusing on the present. What I thought was that I only needed to focus on a couple things living, believing, following my dreams, and focus one thing at a time. I believe it is important to know and understand your families culture and past. One tradition my family has kept from our ancestors is making a hu

My Famous Lover Short Story- Peachy Cube (Fiction)

- November 08, 2018

I breathe in thinking that I shouldn’t do this, but I know how hard I’ve worked and I am not backing down now. This is my first time in New York City, it’s my first day going to work I can do this! What’s not to love about a place where dreams really come true or knocked down like it was nothing. Once I arrive at my work, I look up seeing a big sign saying ‘VOGUE’ clueless of how I am going to act when I get inside, I shrug and walk into the doors not prepared what is waiting on the other side. I walk in to see an enormous diamond chandelier that glistens in the room, my eyes start to look lower and lower to see a counter crowded by people yelling at the front desk employee. When I start to hear my name being called over the crowd of people. “Claire, Claire Peterson! Where are you?” I start to follow the voice who is calling my name not knowing what to say or do. “There you are, Claire, I thought you were bailing out on the first day.” “No, I would never do that,” I said, I look

My Handsome Man- Short story By Peachy Cube (Fiction)

- October 12, 2018

I woke up to hear a knock at my door tired and confused as can be I walk up to the door with my band shirt and Nike shorts on from the day before. Opening the door I see a handsome guy from my high school, Ben His brown silky hair, with sweetheart lips, and eyes as blue as the sky. Not knowing what to say I stayed silent. Letting him speak he clear his throat and started to speak. "Hey Alice, I wanted to ask you something important." I let him inside and lead him to the lounge where he sat down on the love seat. Looking into his eyes I feel our love and deep connection. "So what did you need to talk about?" As I jumped into Ben's lap. "Would you want to go to Paris, France with me?" Without even thinking I blurted out "Paris you mean the Paris, France in Europe?" He nodded "yep" "Ben, how did you even get these tickets? I have been wanting to go ever since I was a little girl!" "I know that's one of the reasons
