05 Lost in the Kitchen an essay by Dave Barry Men are still basically scum when it comes to helping out in the kitchen.

Generally considered that the American Dream consists of a healthy family‚ a well-paying job and a sturdy home. A lot of people dream about it and use all their opportunities to achieve it. However‚ the socioeconomic situation of the United States is an obstacle to this ideal.

Austin C. Auen Dream Journal It was a cloudy day at what looks like Sea Side Park. My father and I were standing on isolated boulders‚ nearby one another other‚ yet every single boulder was in the shape of an upside-down cone. Underneath us were the ocean’s tide‚ which was low at the point. The ground was visible but instead of sand being present‚ there were leaves and soil.

Dream Boogie is a very confusing poem that makes us think what it is really happening inside that “house”. In my opinion this poem presents a situation between a father and his son. It began with his son waking up and asking to his father if he heard the noise inside the house that is getting harder and harder. The kid describes the sound with the words “boogie-woogie“‚ and he make his father listen to it. The father tries to make him relax by taking it like a joke‚ “Ain’t you heard something underneath”
