Shakara Steele Mrs. Ball English 9 April 26‚ 2016 The day after The sun drowning into the horizon‚ it’s rays of light glimming in the darkness as the clouds faded and the pale moon peaked at me through the stars through the window. I awoke rubbing my groggy eyes. I lied in a silk sheeted bed as the memories from yesterday’s events flooded my mind. As I quickly got up and shot to the window to be blinded by the beams of sunlight in the early morning sky‚ curiosity swept over my mind. "Why did he

Frank O’Hara’s poem “A True Account of Talking to the Sun at Fire Island” is a fun account of the speaker’s encounter with the actual sun. This poem is not only fun‚ but a great comic pat on the back for both the speaker and even the reader. It’s nice to think that the Sun took time out of its busy schedule of waking up the earth’s inhabitants to give the speaker some words of encouragement and to let him know that his work is appreciated. The opening line‚ “The sun woke me up this morning loud /

They grow wild in the moist tropical climate of the islands. They are all over my land in Barbados. When I designed my Labelle‚ she was to be a beautiful and delicate orchid set amid the thorny roses. To me‚ she is the most graceful of homes along the river.” “An orchid- I’ve never actually seen one.” “We

Paddling for our lives we headed back into the open sea from our unfortunate visit to Cyclops Island. My men and I were terrified of the events that had occurred over the past days‚ it was a miracle that none of us had gone insane yet. With what sanity we had left we sailed for about six days according to our crew members that had been counting the days since the death of our fellow flute player. I think they really miss the guy...Well‚ I know I miss him‚ he was one of the best flute players in Ithaca

Bill Bryson‚ Notes from a Small Island‚ Black Swan‚ 1995 In the morning I awoke to find rain falling over the hills in great blown sheets. I breakfasted‚ settled the bill and spent a protracted period struggling into waterproofs in the front hallway. It’s a funny thing. I dress myself most days without incident‚ but give me a pair of waterproof trousers to put on and it’s as if I’ve never stood unaided. I spent twenty minutes crashing into walls and furniture‚ falling into pot plants and‚ in one

Allusions: “My father brought her a glittering brooch‚ necklace‚ and dangles to make her all the more inviting‚ though she also wished to wear a cross‚ as always” (Pg. 18). The fact that she always wears a cross reveals that she may carry some guilt regarding her relationship with William and the dishonesty toward William’s wife. She carries religion close to her heart in hopes of gaining forgiveness from God. The dog bite on Anne’s face adds mystery to her identity. Anne clearly despises the physical

Compare and contrast the depiction of fatherhoods in Little Women and Treasure Island. When discussing fatherhood in relation to both novels‚ we see that in both‚ the father is either primarily absent or irrelevant to the plot. The element of fatherhood comes from the characters designed to replace or substitute the absent or lost fathers. Treasure Island finds two figures available for Jim to form a paternal relationship‚ and the moral juxtaposition they present has as much to do with Jim growing
