The poem says it is for “Michael Lonlgey”. I assume this is one of a group that Heaney wrote with and exchanged poems with. The first stanza conveys his compulsion to play around wells. He liked the mechanism and the sound it made. There’s alliteration of “dark drop”echoing the bucket hitting the water. There’s an image of “the trapped sky” as the reflection of the sky at the other end of the tunnel into the earth – to see the sky‚ he looks down‚ not up. When things are down‚ they can be pinned

Just Need to Stay Strong People say real friends are hard to find. I never had any reason to believe this because I had the best friends anyone could ever ask for. At least that’s what I thought. Demi Lovato says‚ “People say sticks and stones may break your bones‚ but names will never hurt you‚ but that’s not true. Words can hurt. They hurt me. Things were said to me that I still haven’t forgotten.” After two years of torture I found out what Demi meant when saying that. Bullying has to come

I remember the first time I created art. I was seven years old and I was already in the midst of learning about myself. The pencil crayons felt like paint brushes as I let my inner artist run wild. I felt like Matisse himself even though I had no idea who that was at the time. I drew a rose and an off-coloured clownfish that looked more like Tiger. Although the things I drew had no significance‚ the idea of creating something captivated me ever since. I practiced baking to settle my need for creation

One night at the ballpark‚ I was able to do something I had never done in a softball game before….. Pitch! My parents and softball team were all present and they were anxiously watching me. I was incredibly nervous and excited all at the same time! Up to this point I had only had one pitching lesson and I had never had the chance to pitch in a game. This is what happened next…...

Like most people‚ when it comes time to decide on where there’re going to eat‚ I’m plagued by indecision. One thing that everyone in my family can agree on when all else fails is Mexican food‚ so when asked where I wanted to go eat today‚ I picked Gringos. I keep hearing positive talk about it‚ and thought I would see what all the fuss was about. It’s important to note that I moved from the Dallas area where my family and I would eat Mexican food at several times a week and since moving I have yet

As I crossed the road with my dog Henry‚ I could feel the frigid winter breeze on my face. Then I felt a snowflake land on my nose like a plane landing after a long flight. I didn’t like this cold weather at all but I had heard many children around me cheering and laughing. I heard things like “woohoo it is snowing” and things like “oww don’t throw snowballs at my face”. That last one made me chuckle a little bit when I had heard it. Then I heard someone yell my name‚ which is Brian by the way. So

Do you ever get that feeling that someone else is narrating your life? I felt this way when I read your book Hangman. Although what your book portrayed didn’t narrate my life‚ but the life of someone I love. Your book narrated the dreadful 7th and 8th grade years of my brother‚ Patrick. Patrick was bullied severely during those years. Your book really opened my eyes to a matter that happens all over the place. Hangman made me feel sad‚ angry and confused as to why kids are so mean and cruel. As I

The following summer‚ I fractured the L5 again training new skills but this time on the right side. After going through about 6 more months of physical therapy I was "fixed"
