The Bear

-
(The Bear went over the Mountain by Vivian Boswell)

Am I contradicting myself? The bear wasn't much different from all the other animals in the forest. He wasn't the fastest, but he was the most powerful. He didn't lash unless you poked him. He roamed the forest. He tried to make right and bring justice into the forest, yet he had no right to be the judge. His heart was noble, yet he had the most flaws out of all of them. He knew what the wolf was doing, yet he did not stop him. He built up the deer, yet knew he wouldn't rise. He assured the rabbit, yet knew she would be devoured, He lead the fox, yet knew she was going to be lost in the forest. He saw the potential in the animals, but the longer he stayed in the forest the longer he did not want to stay in it. The forest was toxic to him. He went to the mountain, and he just sat there. He looked down and wondered why he wanted to be at the top. He began to lose focus after he reached the top of the mountain. He was no better than the wolf. He entered into the forest and his present made the animals interested. Never knew why they were drawn to him. His good will began to bleed. If good actions were accomplished in bad intentions, then how good is he? That was the downfall of the bear. He saved other, so he could maybe save himself. That is why the bear came into the forest. To save the others, he would find salvation. What salvation was he seeking in that forest? He did not enter the forest as a bear. The strong steady animal that the animals gathered around. He was what he never wanted to become again. The Wolf.

Disclaimer: This post is going to contain spoilers to the show. I suggest finish the show before reading this or if you don't have any interest in watching the show than welcome?...I guess. My facebook has been blowing up with all the people talking about the new show to hit Netflix know as 13 Reasons Why , a story about a boy named Clay Jensen finding cassette tapes from a girl at his high school named Hannah Baker who recently killed herself. On the tapes, Hannah gives 13 reasons why she committed suicide. The show depicts heavy topics such as suicide, bullying, stalking, lying, sexual assault, and other issues that young people deal with in this age. Now I will admit that this show was difficult to get through. I would constantly yell at the television due to the frustration I would have for some of the characters and dialogue in the show. This blog post is going to be me breaking down parts of the show and how I felt about character development, story, and the messag

Dear Elizabeth

(Corn Poppy Kees Van Dongen) June 12th 2002 Dear Elizabeth, How have you been recently? I know it has been a while since I last talked to you. I can't believe it has really been almost three years since I saw you! I know we really didn't end on the best terms, but I am writing this letter to really catch up with you, because I still miss you as a friend and nothing more. I heard you moved to France a couple of months back. Mom told me that your parents are starting to come back to church and we found out through them. Just to make it clear, they were just informing us in passing, I wasn't trying to be a creep and asking about you or anything in that nature. I am glad your parents don't seem to hate me like they did before. They miss you a lot and hope you would find a college back in the states. I am doing okay in case you were wondering. I am still an art major in college and I should be finishing up by next fall. I heard five years is the new four years a
