The woman stares across the table anxiously‚ her son quietly staring at his hands beside her‚ the look on her husband’s face anything but pleased. The sun hangs midway over the house in the sky‚ and though it is just about time for dinner‚ no one seems to really want to eat any of the dishes she has prepared. A meat pudding sits untouched in the center of the table as if mocking her growling stomach. The silence is nearly unbearable‚ her feet tingling‚ her son obviously restless as well‚ and she

I awoke on a beach‚ completely soaked‚ with salt water up my nose‚ and sand in every uncomfortable place imaginable. Drenched black hair obscured my sight. Cold sea air chilled my bare back. If I didn’t move soon I would die of hypothermia. I stood on my trembling legs. The cold wind bit at my chest. The sky was dark and it was clear that it would rain soon. Broken boards and scattered crates littered the shore. Clearly I was on some kind of ship‚ but where I was or where I came from was lost to

The Fallen It is a beautiful day in New York City. You can hear a symphony of sirens and songbirds as the sun’s radiant beams dance among the clouds. There are people everywhere laughing and enjoying the day. Suddenly everything changes. Then the sound of a deafening explosion echoes through the air. A plane has just struck one of the infamous Twin Towers. Fire is blazing above as thick clouds of smoke roll out of the top of the North Tower. Another thunderous blow shatters the atmosphere. Then

The campsite that I visit yearly always seems to surprise me. Last year‚ I visited Bear Creek Camp for the fourth time. When one goes to a camp‚ they can expect to get soaked in mud from head to toe‚ leaving them to scratch off the crusty residue until they are graced with a shower. They can definitely count on the infinite drone of insects‚ keeping them up until the crack of dawn. Above all‚ they can count on something to go wrong. Last year‚ I was greeted at camp with a torrent of rain that

emphasises the continuous question ‘why’. • Sibilance [Sibilance is repetition of ‘s’ sounds] Note that ‘s’ is used fourteen times in the second stanza‚ in addition to the ‘s’ sound of the ‘c’ in ‘saucy’. This sound fits the meaning well as the poet is writing about greasy dirt that covers everything. • Rhyming There is no regular rhyming pattern in this lyric. The only obvious line rhyme is ‘et’ in the second and last line of the fifth stanza. But there are many other sound repetitions. The lack of line

The air flew past our heads‚ and screams echo through the air. The sun is beating down relentlessly‚ people’s cheeks are tinted red‚ partly from screaming‚ partly from the sun burns that are beginning to take form. Individuals of every age are jammed close together. You can hear them begging for an end to their terror‚ and other are embracing the adrenaline‚ breaking out in hysterical‚ maniacal laughter. Lights flash in front of our faces‚ blinding us. At this point‚ my feet are dangling‚ and I

After waiting many hours in the airport lobby‚ the plane finally was ready at gate 42. I took one last look at where I had been sitting for the past two hours. As I walked toward the plane‚ I thought about all the terrible things and accidents that I had been through at my summer trip. Shake once I boarded the plane and tuck myself comfortably in the seat‚ the plane took off and started the journey toward the blue sky when I heard a rumble under my feet. I didn’t worry as I thought that it was

Do Gas Stations cause soil pollution? Soils are extremely important parts of every ecosystem. They are a home to many microbes and provide vital nutrients to the plants that live in them. pH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution‚ and most organisms have a very small range of pH values in which they can survive. 7 is considered neutral‚ lower than 7 is acidic (lemon juice‚ rain water) and above 7 is basic (bleach‚ soap). Lots of urban areas are dependent on car transportation‚
