The feel of the sun beating down makes me wonder if it is purposely driving all of its energy to sap mine. Glancing up across the court I see my water bottle filled with mountain dew. At that

He further says‚ “and despair!”‚ which also shows his pride‚ because he believes that people will become depressed and unhappy when they see what a great king he was and what great things he accomplished in life‚ and of course his statue. Moreover‚ the way that the sculptor sculpts the “frown”‚ “wrinkled lip”‚ and the “sneer of cold command” onto the statute‚ reveals that the sculptor could see the king’s

I thoroughly liked the poem "Loud Music" because it describes a simple bliss with so much detail that the story seems to come alive. It is simply the perspectives of two very different people and how they react to this loud music‚ or how they can see themselves in the noise.

In addition‚ the fourth and fifth lines of each stanza end with an identical word; in six of the stanzas that word is "door" and in
