engineer. And saying “my Dad died when I was 11” rolls off of my tongue in a way that it never has before. It’s been nine years. Time has passed. Things have gotten easier. His death is no longer where my thoughts default when nothing else is distracting me. I don’t think about him every time someone mentions his or her father in conversation. And‚ I don’t think about him every time someone asks about my own family. I do think about him though. Every single day. It’s still hard. I watch a girl dancing

The first line grasped my attention‚ Anne said “If ever two were one‚ then surely we”. To me that’s what love is. Being able to meet someone and fall deeply in love to the point where

How would you describe the speaker’s tone in "Ulysses"? In Ulysses‚ written by Alfred Lord Tennyson‚ is a poem giving courage and hope. In this poem‚ the desire of Tennyson to reach out further more than he can‚ and to get away from the same everyday life are expressed.
