Look at the problem not the symptoms: A school stress related plea

To the Nebo School district,

Let’s talk about why my sister for all of last week stayed up past 11 and got up before 5.

She did this to work on a homework assignment.

This was for a class she was worried about failing.

She was worried because she miss two days.

The class has a very strict attendance policy.

Even for spots excused (SCHOOL excused) activities.

The teacher for said class is the athletic director.

She would be gone the same two days.

There was still no leniency.

Shake well with her giving out a six-hour plus assignment for that one class plus homework for seven other classes and everything equaled out to a crying fourteen-year-old` who had never gotten a grade lower than an A- in her life and was too tired to go on but too anxious to go to sleep.

Chiaroscuro: Contrast Between the Gothic and the Fantastic

Chiaroscuro is a technique in art that uses strong contrasts between light and dark to bring more interest to a composition. This balance of light and dark has been a common theme throughout history, but one of the periods that demonstrates this well is the Romantic. During this period there was a sudden blossoming of publishing, and the rise of the novel gave way to two distinct styles: the Gothic and the Fantastical.

These two genres both stem from an abundance of imagination: one exploring our highest hopes, and the other unearthing our darkest fears. Together they clearly show the notions and ideals of the period. The American and French Revolutions were characterized by a spirit of Rebellion and Freedom, and this led to the rhetorical criticism of society and the imagination of new ideas. Many Romantic heroes and horrors came from this new originality; simultaneously producing fantastical stories of Arthurian legend while introducing the world to horrors such as Frankenstein’s monster.
