Poppies in July - Sylvia Plath “Poppies in July” is a short poem written in free verse. Its fifteen lines are divided into eight stanzas. The first seven stanzas are couplets‚ and the eighth consists of a single line. The title presents an image of natural life at its most intense—at the height of summer.

I chose the short story “Late July‚ 4:40 A.M.” from the selections from In Brief. The story begins in the plains of western Kansas and transitions to a truck stop where a “herd of big rigs” is located. The author talks about how the trucks are polluting the world but people are models of their environment so they could care less.

The fourth amendment is the protection from unreasonable search and seizure unless probable cause is present and in most cases‚ a warrant is issued.

The colonists did not want to pay the taxes being enforced by the King‚ so they began to smuggle goods into the United States via boat. The King of Britain obviously did not agree with this‚ so he sent British ships that could stop and
