1."But on one side of the portal… was a wild rose-bush… which might be imagined to offer their fragrance and fragile beauty to the prisoner as he went in…” (Chapter 1, pg.41)…
We've recently watched the movie 23 Skidoo both in class and on our own time at home. When I first saw it in class, I was a bit confused and I didn't really understand what was happening in the film. After re-watching it, I understood that it is a film about a post-nuclear bomb explosion. What's different about this movie is that there is no narrative, or actors, but there is music. I find that it makes you concentrate more on what's happening in the film because no one's explaining it to you. The music featured in the film wasn't continuous. It made the setting more mysterious because sometimes, the music would be almost scary sounding, and you'd think that something was about to happen. It made me create other scenarios…
The air was thick with the stink of sweat, piss and stale tobacco that clung to Hector's clothes. The taste of his last cigarette still lingered on his tongue, and he ached for another, but the driver had taken his whole pack.…
“AAHHHH!” Aelius screamed as he charged at the opposing army. His heavy bronze chest plate banged against his stomach, knocking the wind out Aelius. The too-large helmet crashed the side of his head, leaving a bruise under his thick dark-brown hair. Aelius’s knees gave out, he buckled at the weight of his heavy armour and gear. Everything went black.…

“Brothers and esteemed fathers,” Paul said, “listen to me as I offer my defense.” When they heard him speaking in their own language, the silence was even greater. Act 22-1-2 (NLT).Paul describes to us in the in the next (1-22) verses his story. Now think of your story and the details which wrap you up and wrecks your brains with thoughts as it robs you of your inner peace. If the looping stories are bringing up more anger and bitterness then you might want to search for a better story line to tell others. You know Jesus spent much of His life undoing false stories and replacing them with truer, better and richer ones. When we exchange our sinful, false, painful stories for God’s truer ones we find that over time we also change…
Emily's iron- gray hair has chronological significance in the story. First, the hair belongs to Emily, who had sometime slept on the bed beside Homer Baron's dead body, near where it was found. This term “Iron-Gray” had only lied within passage 4 in paragraph 6 when the narrator describes changes in appearance of Emily: “During the next few years, it grew grayer and grayer until it attained an even pepper-and-salt iron- gray, when it ceased turning”(Faulkner, 4.6) this happened during the period of 6 or 7 years when she gave out china-painting lessons after Homer disappeared. Second, the phrase “Iron- gray hair” has connotations that can be applied to the story. The word: “Iron” could mean stubborn, or iron willed. Stubborn is definitely a describing word for Emily. The group of narrators describes a time when Emily came to pick up a bottle of Arsenic from the general store: “Why, of course”, the druggist said, “if…
His arms propelled his skeletal form, pushing feebly against the resistance of the tepid water. Gasping, he clutched onto the edge of the pool as he completed his timed freestyle lap. Obscuring his gaze were the black dots of fatigue, only allowing him a clouded view of his coach’s face; enough to reveal his displeasure. “17 seconds. Slower than last week and definitely not good enough.”…
