The Old House on the Hill Crimson rays of sunlight speckled through and glittered the autumn leaves‚ making their colorful silhouette seem to dance on the mountain horizon. These fluttering hills rise up from the back of a vast plateau like pasture as if they were titans‚ peacefully awaiting the turn from day to dusk. A calm breeze feathers the tall sun spotted grasses with an inconsistent motion making the ground appear alive. In the back corner of this field lies a large and seemingly mystifying

For this assignment I chose to write about “The Hill” by Edgar Lee Masters. “The Hill” is included in “The Spoon river anthology” was one of Masters’ most famous works. The poem I chose is unique in its subject in that it idolizes how the lives of the deceased were portrayed. While most would be turned off by the idea of writing about epitaphs and the reasons behind the death of humans‚ Masters was able to successfully take what is normally a cheerless subject and translate that sorrow to curiosity

The poem Fern Hill‚ by Dylan Thomas‚ is about person’s life from childhood to his eventual death. My reaction to the poem at first was confusion. But with repeated reading‚ more clarity was reached.

Or will I remain unbeaten‚ only to be taken down by those monsters with loud and grating voices; those monsters that spew out foul‚ black smoke; those monsters that took down my friends below me with their humongous claws? Drip‚ drip‚ drip. My roof is leaking again. Soon I’m going to rot away until my legs can no longer sustain my weight and finally

REVIEW OF NOTTING HILL Notting Hill is one of the few romantic comedies I enjoyed watching. It’s quirky‚ light and full of wit. The movie itself will bring you into a world where happily ever after happens‚ a fairy tale for those die hard romantics. I know it’s unusual for something like this to happen in real life but it would make you wish you were one of the characters in the film. I really liked the conversations the characters have and the language they used. Like other rom-com films‚ this
