Vikram's World

Cogsworth walked into the dining room to deliver a letter to his master. It came from a couple who wished his help in buying a property. Just as he entered the dining room however, the Clock was greeted with an appalling sight; his master was dining on the most repulsing and horrendous feast ever seen. There were caterpillars in one plate, earthworms in another, a dead pheasant surrounded by the eggs she had left behind which were now cooked and a glass filled with a red liquid which was evidently blood. There was also a large pot of cassava flour, finely cooked. Lumiere, the candelabra who was to be lighting the room could not bear the sight of what surrounded him and left the room all at once, Cogsworth understanding why. "I see you have been very successful in your hunt master" as Prince Adam now a cursed Beast despite concealing himself in his castle was known to enter the nearby forests to search for food. "Why do you disturb me?" growled the Beast as ...

June 3 rd 1989   It started out as a sunny but cold day in Jamatland , where I have lived since I was born. I went to school here and I went to college here. It was in college that I studied what I love and that is learning to be a pilot. My purpose however would mainly be flying for myself although that does not mean I am not obliged to give others lifts in the plane I would fly in since that is what I would be paid for. But be that as it may, I knew I had a long way to go before I could become a professional pilot . Time flew fast so quickly that I did not realize that I topped each and every class of mine, graduating with a major in aviation. I tried a number of different piloting jobs although as I mentioned this would not involve flying a plane full of passengers from one country to another although I still had to have someone with me. I decided however I would mainly base myself in Jamatland and one place here which I found intriguing and wanted to base my work aro...

From the East Coast of the United States comes one of the most fascinating and frightening of all the world’s animals unknown to science. More than a hundred people claim to have seen him as he has terrorized towns and caused schools and factories to close down. Some claim he is simply a mythical beast born of local superstitions and folklore others say the weight of evidence is just too great to dismiss the existence of an animal or a supernatural being that has become known as the Jersey Devil The Pine Barrens of New Jersey where this animal has been sighted offers the perfect setting for such a mystery. With its eerie marshes and rambling old houses, it is easy to think of the supernatural. There has always been many a tale of how the Jersey Devil was born although shrouded in mystery as it is hard to work out where history ends and folklore begins; in each case it is said to be a woman who gave birth to the beast. The most common story of this occurrence was a woman call...

Since its debut in 1977, Star Wars has become a cultural phenomenon not just in its depiction of good over evil but also the many references it has to the world in both mythology and fact. The beauty about these films regarding a 'Galaxy far, far away' is that they open with a description known at the 'opening crawl' as to what is going on within the world of Star Wars. Personally while I am a fan of Star Wars the only films I love from it are the original films (Episodes IV, V and VI) and Episode I. However it was through the expanded universe series of novels and the game 'Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds' that I came to know that there were elements not depicted in the films. This inspired me to create opening crawls before, during and after the battle of Yavin in Episode IV where the death star was destroyed in defence of the planet moon of Yavin; BBY means before the battle of Yavin, BY evidently means the battle of Yavin and ABY means after the battl...

As a person with Asperger, I see the world differently at times and may also not see a logical point of view since my method of thinking is wired differently to others who do not have Asperger. That is probably what led to a depression; one where I did a personal development course for the counselling service known as Youthline which has been in existence since 1970. I was unable to make it onto the next level and I was unhappy about this, especially since Youthline meant a lot to me and I liked the people who were part of the course. Although the end result was greater than I could have ever imagined it to be and it was events along the way that contributed to this result. It has helped me to grow and learn a lot and I would like to share it with everyone Vikram Wagh Starting Youthline and the first Verdict When I enrolled into Youthline in early March 2012, I was sceptical at first because normally when I am enrolled in or join groups, I do not fit in compl...

                                           Mende slaves fighting their captors on the Amistad Steven Spielberg's 1997 film Amistad based on the true story of slaves who upon being taken prisoner aboard the Spanish vessel La Amistad rebelled against their captors with the help of their leader Sengbe Pieh known more as Cinque and were put on trial for murder in the United States only to be saved and returned to their homeland thanks to former President John Quincy Addams is a true story. However most of the story is fictionalized and some important characters are sacrificed to pay attention to characters who had nothing to do with the story as well as the absence of others who were involved in the case. Here are the true facts surrounding the Amistad case 1.     Cinque (played by Djimon Honsou) did not free himself by plucking the nail that held his chains o...
