Waltz of Spring

April 5, 2023March 30, 2024 newspaper Poetry0 comment

Green pastures tell my friends To come out of their small house, Smell the fresh dew perfume sends, Hear me conduct the waltz of Strauss The clouds have cleared the view For my friends to enjoy the bright spotlight Where I lead the wind orchestra of green and blue They play and sway to my direction with delight The flower buds enticed by the symphony Their whorls gradually open to hear more of it Everyone rise to the climax of spring’s harmony A rush of excitement, images of happiness hit…

Charms of spring

April 5, 2023March 30, 2024 newspaper Poetry0 comment

Reminiscent winds serenade the morning breeze. Perfume scents of roses flow. Tiny blades of green grass grow. Misty showers soak the earth, glorious colors come to birth. Gathering clouds come and go, rain, sun, and a vibrant bow. Dainty petals, fancy flair, dancing in the warm, sweet air. Oh sweet, lovely Spring, patiently waiting for the charms you bring.

Season is Spring

I bring new life and herald the warmth, but hay fever, too, is in my source. Autumn has color but tinged with decay. Some call her Fall. I think she’s OK. Summer’s the one that gets all glory, but brush fires and sunburn are in the story. Season of choice, who will win? The one with potential, of course; it’s Spring. By: Vanessa M

Movies to Watch During Women’s History Month

April 5, 2023March 30, 2024 newspaper Women's Month0 comment

Here are some movies to watch during Women’s History Month or whenever you want. All of these films were directed by women, except for Girl. March is a month to celebrate women’s achievements and serves as a reminder of how women struggled (and are still struggling) against discrimination throughout history. For Women’s History Month, I thought of sharing a list of movies with a diverse range of female main characters to celebrate women! And to all the men who did not wish a happy international women’s day to the women…

A Woman’s Woes in a Patriarchy

April 5, 2023April 9, 2024 newspaper Women's Month0 comment

Like a river, I flow with grace, Through the currents of a man’s world, I pace, Where the tides of misogyny, I often face. Like a delicate flower, I blossom and grow, But my beauty is often overlooked and low, In a world where a man’s voice is the only one that can glow. I am the earth that nurtures and gives, But my worth is judged by my curves and the way I live, In a society where a woman’s voice is only heard when she screams and shivs….

“You came first in my class when you were my student,” types Keller to Coco on her Huawei smartphone via WhatsApp. “You have many strengths. Have confidence in yourself and be determined to improve your situation,” continues Keller. To end the conversation, Keller adds, “But you are smart – you sought the help of social workers. They can help you.” It has been years since Coco last met Mrs. Keller. She used to be the class prefect in Class 7D. To be a prefect, one surely needs to be strong…

A State of Dysphoria

April 3, 2023March 29, 2024 Brianna Fasoli 0 comment

According to the date on this issue of the Insider the year is 2023, a time in history full of scientific innovations and supposed progressive societal change; so how is it possible that our society still manages to be so unbelievably stuck in the past? How is it that so many people derive some twisted sense of duty in forcing others to live according to their rules? People claim to advocate for the protection of important rights such as the freedom of self-expression and the freedom of speech for all,…
