There is so much dirt and dust outside‚ it goes so high in the air and I am terrified and my siblings are all crying. My parents gather all of us‚ and we all put towels on all doors and windows so no dust gets in. Me and my brother see all the animals and people running away from the dust storm. Momma grabbed my brother‚ sister‚ and dad. She gave us all wet towels to put on our faces. I can still taste the dirt. We all huddled in the middle of

The dust has made its home with us for seven years. I know this because for every year that the dust has blown‚ crushed‚ and swept through our Valley I’ve given birth. Times have been more than ruthless to my family. James‚ my husband‚ has yet to grow enough crops to satisfy the hunger of the banks. My children have not had new clothes in four years and my youngest‚ Keladry‚ has now developed a dry cough. Luke‚ my brother‚ and his family left the Valley to seek out a job and money. He sent a letter

about what it means to live or to die. Examples of this would be the three poems “Thanatopsis” by William Cullen Bryant‚ “Don’t Fear the Reaper” by The Blue Oyster Cult‚ and “Dust in the Wind” by Kansas. All of these are about death‚ but they have different points of view. “Thanatopsis” romanticizes death and is optimistic‚ “Dust in the Wind” portrays life as short and fleeting‚ and “Don’t Fear the Reaper” glorifies death. While the three poems discuss death the poem “Thanatopsis” has the most optimistic

No sooner had the Karnali road accident happened in Jajarkot in which several dozen people were killed a fortnight ago‚ a bus accident claimed six lives in Prithvi Highway the other day when the speeding bus skidded off the road to plunge in the Trishuli River. Similar major and minor accidents occur regularly on the highways‚ feeder roads and fair weather tracks killing passengers

Roads are often a metaphor for life’s journey. They begin and end‚ and they can be freeing or confining‚ but most of all‚ they are a constant among people. Walt Whitman’s “Song of the Open Road‚” Carl Sandberg’s “The Road at The End‚” and Robert Frost’s “The Road Not Taken” are all interpretations of the journey of life‚ but they are written from different perspectives. “Song of the Open Road” is an entirely positive portrayal‚ “The Road at The End” is dark but could be read as hopeful‚ and “The

My brother’s headstone was only a ten minute walk away so I let myself drink in the moonlight and the memories the cemetery held. I remembered the first time I went there with my mother‚ just after Jason died... She led me down the now familiar mud track past the eerie‚ dancing trees‚ to the spot she planned on burying him. And it wasn’t until I was standing in front of the headstone that I realized he was gone ; that was the first time I truly cried. I slowly walked down the pebbly path and admired the cherry blossoms that were

farmers across the United States especially in Texas‚ Kansas‚ Colorado‚ and New Mexico. During this time land had dried up because of very little rainfall. With less moisture in the soil‚ high winds in the plains caused dust storms. The series of dust storms was later called the Dust Bowl. Living conditions in this area of the United States were very poor‚ causing people to move westward bound. Frank Manies was one of those people.

Lear and Of Love and Dust are stories about characters who seek power‚ but die because of it. Marcus‚ Goneril‚ Regan‚ Cornwall‚ and Edmund all seek positions where they have more power‚ and come very close‚ but in the end die.

In addition‚ Jim’s neutrality as a character in Of Love and Dust makes him a stronger

Three novels intrigued me with their use of the arts: Out of the Dust‚ The Music of Dolphin‚ and House on Mango Street. All three novels use artistic abilities to help communicate emotional struggles. I observed each author structured their chapters in a particular way that correlated to the specific artistic ability of the character. Out of the Dust structured each chapter in free style poems‚ with one chapter even appearing as piano keys on the page. House on Mango Street was structured in prose
