Vocabulary Short Story

          A pretty young girl with much beatitude sat scraping gum from underneath the tables at the café where she worked, one may think a person cannot possibly have a heyday with this; she was. Becoming so lost in her day dreams, she hadn't noticed the gargantuan man studying her from his table. Once he found her up to his standards he waltzed over and the sycophant began trying to inveigle her into going on a date with him. He was very pretentious and couldn't help himself from hinting of his kudos won as a professional football player. Many woman would have truckled to his whims by now, but this certain young lady thought him to be a huge bête noire. She began to become fervid during his prolix speech and finally just turned her back on him and walked away. The man took great offense and bode her to marry a man the exact opposite as he was. Ecumenically, one would take this as a blessing. That night, after her tough day at work, the young lady had an incubus dream set in a dank, fetid room; she woke up in a sweat. At work the next morning she was a bit on edge, she had drank five cups of coffee just to stay awake. As she went to take a very uncomfortable looking man's order, he got up and bumped into her and sent her notebook flying. In the mist of his apology, he ran into total tautology and grew so immersed in her beauty he began blurting obsequious lagniappes. After everything subsided they conversed about him being a protégé for architecture and he showed her his prototype and explained the infrastructure. They got married and lived happily ever after!

My Masterpiece

I carry a huge passion for journalism. I've not quite decided what I'd like to pursue in journalism, I like everything about it and have tested the waters in everything from design to editing, I do know this is the field I want to pursue. I'd like to tie my masterpiece to this but I'm not quite sure how. I've thought about talking to some local newspapers to see if they could put one of m articles in or if I could take some photographs for them when needed. Another idea is to ask to intern at either a newspaper company or a magazine company. I have a dream, now I'm going to chase it.

Beowulf

          
Honestly, this essay prompt stumped me and I would love some great tips on how to write a comparative essay because I believe this is ne of my very weak points, thank you.



           Beowulf was portrayed as a man's man, so to speak. He was strong, fearless, and equipped with a strong set of morals. I'd like to compare Beowulf with Captain America. Much like Beowulf, Captain America is viewed by his people as a strong, masculine, immortal hero.
          Beowulf was a  man of God just as Captain America was. His traits made him popular among his people and the perfect lone hero for this epic story. It is clear that Beowulf was born to fight, born to defeat all evil. Captain America reflects Beowulf by being skilled with a bold demeanor, super strength, and a fan crowd. Both heroes fight their own battles without much help, but also without condescending to the average person. Their sole mission in life is to protect the people in the best way that they can.
           Though similar in many ways, there are still substantial differences among these honorable men. At the end of this epic, Beowulf meets his demise. Captain America lives throughout many sequels. While Beowulf chooses his battles against actual monsters and fire-breathing dragons, Captain America fights other super humans, or rather, mutants.
           To conclude, Beowulf and Captain America are both viewed very similar by their people and both have a lot of the same traits and morals. They are different in their situations, though. Beowulf passes eventually while Captain America live on. They both fight different demons in their own epic stories.
