My Last Farewell (Mi Ultimo Adios) Farewell‚ dear fatherland‚ clime the sun caress’d‚ Peal of the Orient seas‚ our Eden lost! Gladly now I go to give thee this faded life’s best‚ And were it brighter‚ fresher‚ or more blest‚ Still would I give three‚ not count the cost. On the field of battle‚ ‘mid the frenzy of fight‚ Others have given their lives‚ without doubt or beed; The place not matters—cypress or laurel or lily white‚ Scafold or open plain‚ combat or martyrdom’s plight‚ ‘Tis

Farewell Party and Me When I arrived to my workplace‚ there was no one in my department. Staring at an automatic-drilling with a blinking yellow light‚ I thought myself that how long had the machine been stopped. I put my lunch bag on a computer desk and sit on a chair to check an email whether there was an important message left for me by my supervisor during daytime. While I was checking email my cell phone rang out suddenly. I was slightly frightened as it rang unexpectedly. Usually

High school is something everyone has been waiting since elementary school. I know I have. The anticipation built up– from K-6‚ middle school‚ and the first day of high school.

School? Or Drool? School you say‚ but hells gates you see. That’s what most kids imagine as they enter the tall rusty gates of the place they call s..chool. From the giant bricked buildings to the grey‚ now turning black‚ gritty asphalt‚ this is the exact location all innocent six year olds go when their parents decide to condemn and punish all the poor souls. I can say I’ve been there done that‚ as I was sentenced to partake in the torturous activities that take place in the red and black envisioned

In Ernest Hemingway’s A Farewell to Arms‚ many different themes are present throughout the book. Love‚ lust‚ nationalism‚ tragedy‚ and hatred are what I think A Farewell to Arms is based on‚ but one theme that really caught my attention was the role of religion.

After reading Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston’s memoir Farewell to Manzanar about the Japanese and her family being interned during World War II. I have a total different point of view on the Japanese internment camps‚ and I now understand all the anger‚ shame‚ and sadness that Jeanne’s family and the other Japanese had more than I did before.

The last country to realize they were
