Thunder boomed a few seconds later‚ making me blink rapidly. I could feel the salty water spraying at me as the waves crashed against the cliffs edge. My heart was beating hard against my chest‚ making it hard to hear anything. All I could hear was the pulsing of blood behind my ears. Why are you

Free Response When the dog first barks it creates sound waves that travel through the air‚ spreading out and dissipating as they go‚ until they reach the ear of the musician. When the sound waves reach the musician they are “gathered up” into the ear by the oracle and travel into the middle ear.

But the fact that I did want to do that was because you grew attached to the characters‚ as

What intrigues me most about the poems of T.S Eliot is the subtle delicateness of his writing and yet it is delivered with amazing strength and profound depth. In certain poems‚ I felt that Eliot wrote in a rather impersonal‚ detached dry tone. However a lot of his poetic lines are brimming with attitude. His general tone is quite understated. However this only serves to sharpen the impact on the reader’s feelings. I felt his poetry was a type of aesthetic despair. While registering a despairing
