Firsts will always be cherished
Seven years have gone by in time since I have been gone. That means seven Christmas, seven Easters, seven birthdays, and eighty-four months missed in that home. There could have been many memories made in that home, but military life has changed those memories. There were many first for me in that home, but continuum of those first are gone. You walk up to it you see this nice big yard in the front great to have your kids and pets to play in, to share and have memories on. Going through the front door and you look inside may not seem like much to you but to me there is more than a life time of memories in this house. Living room on the left, dining room and kitchen on the right, and straight in front of you is a hallway to 3 rooms and 3 baths. Yes my dear little brother you may remember this place as another place we lived in. But this place is where you grew and had your foundation of your life. This home is where we had our first steps, our first word, our first drawings, our first holidays, our first time meeting and see all of our family, and where all those memories will stay. When I walk through this hall and rooms all I see is us having our past memories. I remember the first time you walked. We were playing in the play room, you wanted to get your Legos so you crawled your way to the 3 stairs we had in that room. You stood up and climbed those stairs with such ease, and you then ran across the room to get you your Legos. I have never seen you that happy like that day. Those first we had shown how much we have accomplished in such a short time. We humans can accomplish the hardest things in our lives with ease and quickly. Those first we had in our first home are the greatest and precious memories and first that we will never forget and will always cherish. When you have your own children I pray that you will teach them the values of their firsts especially the ones as a baby and toddler. I will never forget

    Good morning/afternoon everyone. I am sure that many of you will agree with me, after studying and discussing in class war poetry, that war is destructive; it destroys properties and lives. It is also the meaning if not dehumanizing as Owen in his 'Dulce et Decorum Est' has pointed out. The violence and destructiveness of war reduces men in the battlefield into something less than human; they are stripped of their dignity. Ultimately as Owen points out in his poem, war is senseless or futile. Whatever the reason for going to war, it's not justification enough for the senseless slaughter of young lives.…

    In Emily Dickinson's poem "I Felt a Funeral in My Brain", Dickinson describes what seems to be a funeral in her mind. When one thinks of a funeral, they usually think of a ceremony for a person who has died. This funeral that Dickinson is experiencing in her brain, is actually a funeral for the death of her mind. Emily Dickinson describes events that usually take place at a funeral but the ideas she pitches to the reader doesn't exactly exemplify your ideal funeral. She tells the reader how there are mourners, a service, lifting of a box implying it is a coffin and nobody is being burried. In Emily Dickenson's poem, the reader can elaborate upon elements of poetry such as imagery, symbolism, diction, and metaphor that create a better sense of understanding.…

    Today I was walking around during camp because I was bored but then realised I should tell a story because that was what I was good at. No one wanted to listen to my story so I decided to write to you. I wanted you to check up on my wife and see if she is doing alright and also try to check up on my mom and dad. I remember when you told me I should join the armed forces because it brought great honor to me and my family so I enlisted and trust me being here really is not that much of an honor. We are currently located at Northern French and are digging trenches so we could have somewhat of an advantage but really is not going that well. Time here passes by so slow it seems like the 8 months,19 day,4 hours, and 29 seconds have been centuries because there basically is nothing to do here.…

    When I was seven years old and almost a half my parents told me that my family was going to pack up everything, leave our home, our livelihood, and move to Idaho. I was young but I knew I was going to miss Albuquerque. I was going to miss the plump quails who walked quickly with their babies toddling behind in a straight line and the skinny, all leg, roadrunners who would sprint across the roads. I was going to miss my little Crocodile Smile green room. I had chosen the paint color, I had watched my room be painted, and I had to leave it. Abandoning my home was hard too. The front of my seashell white house had two, big, high, arched windows. They had rusty yellow stains running down beneath them that made the house look like it was crying golden tears. Near the grand maroon oak front door were some slightly overgrown, prickly rose bushes. Everyday the roses blushed and smiled at me, turning their pink and yellow faces up. I was mortified to leave my crying house with the smiling roses. The day we left, I found out we were leaving. I had convinced myself that we weren’t going to leave, but then we did. I left my home, my friends, but mostly my memories. My memories included early morning balloon fiestas, during…

    All throughout history dating all the way back to the start of the ancient Greek era until today’s era, women were dominated and subjugates to the men of their society. For men have always be seen as the go getters and the provider for their family and it was vital that they were seen as strong, courageous and well respected bringing back only fortune, respect and a good legacy to their family name.

In these two Greek literatures the men in these stories will be living the life of a Greek man going to through a journey that will seal their fate, a fate that would stay with their names forever and make them…

    As I eat breakfast at the kitchen table, I think about veterans and their families, being separated by millions of miles, never getting to enjoy a family meal together. I take a sip of my orange juice and ponder what it would be like without my family, never knowing if they are okay or what they have been up to. On this day, I don’t just think about myself I think about the lives of others. When I arrive at school and I embrace my parents and head off to my class, I wonder what it would be like not getting to experience this for weeks, months, and years at a time. I walk into the front doors of the school and turn around to glance at my parents through the car windows as they drive away. I think about the children having to witness this moment when their parents drive away, not just to go to work and live a normal life. They are going off into the unknown to fight in several wars. Then I think about this situation from the parent’s point of view, leaving their children behind to go fight in war to protect their country. Not knowing if they will ever get to come home again to their children’s smiling faces, to hear about their day at school or help them with their…

    The day arrived for Dennis to leave for Panama; we drove him to Dover Air Force Base, a two- hour trek from our home in Elkton, MD. As he boarded the bus to the flight line where he would take a C-130 transport to Panama, my heart sank. Not only was my best friend flying a world away into unknown danger, our children were suffering terribly. As we said our good byes, their eyes filled with tears. They kept telling their dad that they didn’t want him to go. He told them it was his job and he had to go but maybe he could come home for Christmas in a few months. After we all hugged him one last time, They stood there, eyes fixed on the blue Air Force bus until it disappeared from sight- then the tears came from all three of us. Our trip home was silent except for the hum of the car engine. Separation is…

    I hope all is well at home. Tell everyone that I miss them very much. I managed to find some paper to write on so I can send you this letter. It’s cold and rainy often here and they haven’t blown the whistle in a while. I have been in the trenches for nearly a month with the British troops. It feels like I have been here for years. “I am preparing to go to the front and I am only sorry that I did not see you all before I went but then mother dear do not lose heart, I may come back again. And mother dear, do have courage. I will be alright, there are thousands of other mothers and relatives in the same circumstances and if I do die I will die with a good heart and all your love upon my lips.”1 I’m hungry all the time because food is scarce. Even when we get food, it is awful. The bread is so raw and dry that sometimes I do not even bother eating it. “This is a place to be in, we have to fight like tigers to get our food here soon as ever it comes up… some get a lot and some don’t get any. If we have money it is a hard job to spend it, if you go the coffee shop or canteen, you have to wait about two hours before it is your turn to be served. If I get through this lot, no more for me.”2 War is definitely not what I expected it to be. Death and disease is all around me and the naïve, glorious thoughts I had about war have now disappeared. “Piles of bodies lie next to me at all times, wounded, dead, or even men…

    Throughout our lives there are many obstacles we have to face, some may shape us and some may scar us years onward. My story is a common one that countless people have faced that got in the form of disguise that isn’t always pretty.

    “Slaveship,” by Lucille Clifton, is a free verse poem from the perspective of slaves that the white men capture and trade in the slave trade, forcing them to travel on the Middle Passage. Ironically, the ships bear the names of religious symbols and figures such as Jesus, Angel of God, and Grace of God (lines 14-15) even though the act of slavery is one of the most sinful systems in the eyes of these slaves and in the eyes of all decent human beings.…

    To hear such powerful words in such a strong voice come from the tiny body was absolutely amazing. Today, I had the pleasure of being part of the audience to which Gabriela Garcia Medina delivered several of her lengthy, yet heartfelt poems. When you first see Gabriela, you would never think that inside the small body lies such power and self-confidence. She captivates her audience, makes them laugh, cry and think from deep within themselves and in the end leaves them wanting to hear more of what she has to say.…
