It was early in the morning‚ about 7:30am. People were drinking coffee and eating breakfast. I was still sleeping from a hard night of kicking in my sleep. The next thing I knew it was 8:00am. Zip lining was about to happen before I knew it. The scary feeling of letting go. “Kiki‚ are you dressed?” My mom whispers. “Yeah almost ready. Has anybody seen my hair brush?” “Have you looked in your bag or in the bathroom? “Yeah‚ Oh wait‚ I found it. It’s on the bed.” “Five minutes until we leave‚” My

In the film Grave of the Fireflies‚ the director tugs at people’s heartstrings and forces them to look at World War II in a different light – too often‚ we forgot that the civilian casualty numbers are real‚ live people‚ and we tend to just look at them as a figure. In addition‚ a good part of this film takes place after the war has ended‚ which is a period that goes vastly un-talked about. People like to think that after the war officially ended‚ it was a time of joy for everyone‚ but sadly this

Robert Frost‚ “Out‚Out—“ 1. In line 15‚ Frost describes the saw as being sinister. He infers that the saw has a mind of its own‚ by stating that the saw jumped out of the boy’s hand and cut the boy’s hand terribly. Frost also makes it seem as if the saw is in a way‚ like a friend. He does this by demonstrating that using the saw is an advantage for the boy because it is making his job ten times easier. Without the saw‚ the boy would spend hours cutting through the wood. 2. In Frost’s poem

Cheyenne Johnson August 22‚ 2013 Poem Analysis “‘Out‚ Out-‚’ ‘’ by Robert Frost My emotions toward this poem are depressed‚ forlorn‚ and melancholy. In “’Out‚ Out-‚’”‚ a young boy is at work about to go to dinner when suddenly the saw cuts off his hand. A boy his age shouldn’t have to die doing a man’s job. Work back then had unimaginable conditions that made you want to cry. The line that struck out at me the most was “Don’t let him cut my hand off- The‚ When he comes. Don’t let him sister

I found her intended project to be compelling‚ even provocative in both its theoretical
