About me - Jake Ron

I was born and raised in New Orleans, and I plan to never leave. I did some studying at Tulane. I enjoy writing humor and satire mostly but am up for nearly anything that I know something about.

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Her love
1 of 15

Sunshine Of Her Love: So brightly did my sun once shine, So happy was this life of mine. So quickly it did go away; No longer shined a single ray. But big black clouds emerged instead, And spit their raindrops on my head. I longed for light, but it stayed dark, Except the lightning's slashing sparks. I shivered and began to ... More..

3 of 35

Premarital Sex Prohibition From A Catholic Viewpoint: The immorality of premarital sex is a Church teaching often disregarded by most people today. Supporters of premarital sex argue that sex is a natural method of self-expression. They fail to notice the theological connection to sex. Sex is the greatest power given to peop... More..

Religion & Spirituality > Spiritual Life Predicting the end of the world
6 of 35

The end of the world is a phenomenon that rests in the back of our minds. I ask you to temporarily bring it to the forefront, because what you are about to hear will no doubt change your lives. Don't ask how, but I was recently told by a higher source how the world will end. The end is terrible. There is commotion everywhere... More..

Creative Writing > Humor Humor: Bad days
10 of 55

In fifth grade, I signed up for my elementary school's presentation of Peter Pan. My incentive was the girl to boy ratio. There were about 50 girls and about 10 guys. So, keeping in mind the standard male thespian, I had very little competition. I landed the role of John Darling. Practice and rehearsals went well, and everyt... More..

O Sleep, won't you assuage my troubled mind And thus detach me from this lonely state? Because perhaps my dreams would be so kind To reprieve my heart with its loveless fate. Your beauty's so great, like the sweetest fruit On a branch too high, just out of my reach. Though I try, these lips will never come to it. But maybe i... More..

Love In Nature Shall I compare you to a setting sun? The two are more similar than you think. But by your beauty this scene is outdone. Your lips like the sky are colored with pink; Your blue eyes so bright, like that sinking star, Yet never set, they perpetually glow. And like the sunset, you just seem so far- They are both...

Arts & Humanities > Ethics A dialogue on abortion
74 of 79

A Common Sense Approach To The Abortion Issue: The legality of abortion is hotly debated in U.S. politics. Countless hours and dollars have been spent researching unborn children and the pros and cons of abortion. It seems to me that all that time and money was wasted. Anyone with a functional brain should be able to reach t... More..

Arts & Humanities > Ancient & Biblical Languages Latin is not a dead language
17 of 18

As a Classical Studies major, I am regularly asked why I would bother learning a dead language. While my inquisitors scurry off to their Spanish books to learn how to say "How are you doing" or "what time is it" to the handful of Spanish-speaking people (who probably know English) that they encounter during the week, I remin...
