But why‚ why would he lie about his mother. I went back to the cabin. Could it be possibly the reason he was lying was because he wanted a mother so bad that he pretended to have one. I couldn’t stop thinking about it. The next day jerry came to chop some wood‚ as he usually did‚ but today was his last time working for me for the next day‚ I was going to head to Florida.

The "N" word makes me uncomfortable. If I heard someone say the "N" word who I respected I would no longer have the same respect for them. I myself would never use the "N" word. Although‚ when I hear it on the radio or in a movie it doesn’t bother me. When I play Socom I may hear the "N" word 50 times in a two hour playing period.

Explication on "Lying Awake" When reading Snodgrass’s "Lying Awake" I felt completely lost. After reading the first two stanzas it seems as if Snodgrass is talking about someone feeling pressured to do something that they may not want to do or go forward with. In the first stanza he describes the moth as being "squirmed up‚ sniper style‚ between/The Rusty edges of the screen;" This might indicate the moth being someone that is involved in law enforcement or someone who can’t seem to leave a controlling

itself may just be a word‚ but if you look into the word ‘music’ carefully‚ there is more than that. Inside music‚ there are genres‚ styles‚ rhythm‚ lyrics‚ and so on.

century German philosopher Immanuel Kant believed that no type of lying was okay‚ but this is the 21st century‚ where beliefs and ideas are progressing.

If most of society lies‚ why is it not okay if other people lie in certain situations? Lying is justified when it is the moral duty‚ to save someone from being

“Stop lying Jack.” Then there was a long pause. A pause so long any normal person would have suffocated in the tension. Jack coughed. “And then the house exploded. It was wild.” The next moment of silence was even more excruciating than the first. The blanket of silence no longer pressed down on the people in the room‚ but crushed them completely.
