I was at the medical centre on Friday for my monthly check-up. After three long years‚ Im finally expecting another baby. It has been a long wait. Every month‚ my hopes were raised as high as a tsunami wave‚ but each time they crashed down on me‚ thirty-six times in all. I felt as if God was punishing me but I wished that He would punish me more severely in another way. One thousand days passed before a little seed grew inside me. A lady with a big belly came in after me. She took a clear plastic

I Wish I Could See Grandpa Again My Grandpa was a very good man. He died at 90 years old this past year. I wasn’t as close to him as I should have been‚ but his character showed me what a true man he was. It really touched me to see the things that he stuck to in his life and the things he believed in that meant so much to him. My Grandpa took some part in World War II; he flew the P90 fighter airplane. He was stationed in Oregon during the war and was just about to be shipped out‚ but the

Do you smell a home cooked meal waiting on the table‚ after a long-hard day at work? Do you picture a beautiful home with a white picket fence? Maybe you think about a gorgeous white dress‚ that was altered to fit you just right.

The Best We Could Do illustrates frames that focus on a fragmentary and nonlinear history of Thi Bui’s family during the Vietnam War and the French colonial exploitation that followed it.

It would be much safer if the government had chosen everything for our daily lives‚ every aspect of everything‚ but it would be really weird. The government would go mad with power and all war would break loose. People who had to follow the same rules their whole lives would purge the streets‚ causing whatever kind of mayhem that they please. There would be no limit. Life is better off if the citizens get to make their own free choices‚ but still rule under the government’s ruling. The government

"If I Could Tell You" Analysis In "If I Could Tell You" W.H. Auden uses personification‚ repetition and imagery in order to prove the point; you must live your life like you do not have time left.

“And miles to go before I sleep” My favorite line from “Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening” written by Robert Frost is “And miles to go before I sleep” (15).

However‚ when I reread it‚ I realized that there was a second meaning underneath the surface. It is not as peaceful and joyful as it first appeared‚ and that the narrator

Mr. Willard Sept 16‚ 2010 “ IF I COULD ONLY HAVE THREE WISHES”…. If I could find something/someone who could grant me three wishes I would have many thoughts going through my mind. It would be a great‚ yet very indecisive moment. I would have to think of what that wish can do to my future‚ if it would make it better or make it a bad future that no one would like to have. My 1st wish would be to have a great future not only me but my family as well‚ because I know that by wishing that my next
