Even during hockey competitions, there had always been an issue where he couldn’t quite get the amount of air that he really needed to keep going. Sweat would run down his cold skin, as he pulled at the collar of his uniform. His chest would heave, yet all the air seemed to get stuck in his throat, turning into a suffocating lump. He felt his phone vibrating in his pocket, but he refused to make a move to look at the messages being sent.…
In the poem our sad September snow uses similes to enhance the events of 9/11 by comparing them to another dangerous object such as the example of ‘Steel dropped like meteors’. Using the noun meteors instantly gives connotations to large threatening objects. Also give connotations to destroying an area like the steel destroying the streets and world trade centre. In the terrorist Hes watching Szymborska uses similes aswell, an example is “and what a view-just like the movies”. The similie this time compares the view of the towers and new York to a movie scene.…

Once a drastic change occurs in an individual’s life, they often find it difficult to relocate or recreate their state and situation before the alteration, thus, repeatedly struggle with what presents them in substitution.

My child will never be able to make that sound. My hand instinctively moves to caress my now flat stomach, a habit developed over the past six months as it grew.…

The bitter night Avah was killed the whole town was out celebrating. The Spring Festival was an annual affair and only the most isolated of persons would have not been there. It was a festival meticulously planned out by those intrigued in such matters and each detail was carried out to exact perfection. The Humphrey family would perform a skit each year at exactly six-thirty, the mayor would grace the audience with a well-planned speech at six-forty-five. At seven o’clock the potluck dessert would be brought out by the women and then once a half hour had passed, enough time for the people to converse with each other, the festival games would begin.…

I took in the brilliant sight right in front of me, it was, for lack of a better description, magical.
