Character Study: Selah Part 1

Spilling her fourth cup of coffee all over her taught, rosy, pencil skirt; Selah began barking orders to her inferiors while the whole studio was panicked with deadline anxiety. Three months ago Selah had gone from being a punctual intern to superior in the Moxie magazine studio. She was blessedly promoted after a hectic performance of her value. This valiant tale began with an acceptance letter and beautiful scholarship arriving at her humble home in Santa Maria.

She had applied to University of Washington four months prior to this unimpeachable omen. Her family was tight on money due to her father starting a new job after being fired from the former of thirty years, her mother also worked two part time jobs but it never seemed to be enough for them to live comfortably. The Western Exchange Program decided to reward her with enough scholarship money to allow her to afford this prestigious journalism college and the next fall she proceeded to move into her new dorm room. She was set up to major in English and pursue a career in journalism. After one quarter at UW Selah got an internship at a very high end magazine company, Moxie, stationed in the heart of Seattle. She had always designed the pages of her high School's magazine and she had loved it then, but only thought of it as a passionate hobby. She interned in Moxie's design studio and ended up killing it!

Selah was rewarded the opportunity of hiring a new intern since she was promoted; as luck would have it, she ended up meeting a very intriguing girl looking for a job to get back up on her feet. She had been mistakenly kidnapped and dropped in Seattle so Selah felt it very rewarding that she could help out. This girl proved to be a very great bonus to their team and relieved Selah of a lot of her stress. After only a short period this girl had to quit because she found adventure elsewhere. This, in turn, caused Selah's boss to grow angry and create a very unpleasant environment which finally pushed Selah into excepting a job elsewhere at a more intellectual magazine company.  

After only a few weeks at this new company Selah was in love. While still enrolled at UW, she signed a ten year contract overseeing design for this company and can feel the many adventures and travels awaiting in her future. Not many people can say they never work a day in their life because they don't see their job as an obligation, they see it as a passion. Selah sees her job as a passion, and she savors every waking second of it.

Character Study

          As the wind howled and rustled the loose pine needles off the guarantor trees, fog twisting around the Christmas tree tops, Anne Elise focused her thoughts on what needed to be accomplished to make the first issue a masterpiece. Western Washington University's magazine was now passed down to a new generation of undergraduates figuring out their place in the world of journalism. She had been elected the head of the design team, being the most experienced with the software needed to create eye-capturing pages. The first few months of Anne's first year at Western were filled with unpacking boxes, getting to know the new state, buying a cozy wardrobe, and finally; putting her heart and soul into her passion: journalism. The passion for journalism was deep-rooted and sure, but the field in the study was undetermined. This being the case, she jumped in with what she knew best, to design.

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 Questions

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.
