(page 41) Blima's sister-in-law Ruschia said, ' "Well...look, Blima, I do not mean to frighten you, but you know how it's been lately. In the streets, in the stores, and now they look, make faces, and laugh even when we go into the synagogue. And that Hitler---well, you can read the papers for what he says about us. It is just...just hard for us now; that's all I mean." '…
The air was thick with the stink of sweat, piss and stale tobacco that clung to Hector's clothes. The taste of his last cigarette still lingered on his tongue, and he ached for another, but the driver had taken his whole pack.…
Every day, Mike Hawk rolls out of the left side of his queen sized bed and tiredly shuffles to his dresser to turn off his alarm clock. His wife won't get up for another 2 hours, so Mike throws on his Carhartt overalls and plaid shirt then heads downstairs for breakfast. Mike was never allowed sweets and rarely received milk as a child so his breakfast consists of: unfrosted cornflakes with no milk, for energy and muscle building he drinks a glass of createne and water, and a Viagra because it in some way gives him motivation to go about his day. After breakfast Mike gets the mail and tends to his donkey that is named Michael. Michael is Mike's only animal and his one true friend. Mike wakes up his wife Sharrol who enjoys nagging at him every chance she gets and she is notorious for doing…
“AAHHHH!” Aelius screamed as he charged at the opposing army. His heavy bronze chest plate banged against his stomach, knocking the wind out Aelius. The too-large helmet crashed the side of his head, leaving a bruise under his thick dark-brown hair. Aelius’s knees gave out, he buckled at the weight of his heavy armour and gear. Everything went black.…

“Brothers and esteemed fathers,” Paul said, “listen to me as I offer my defense.” When they heard him speaking in their own language, the silence was even greater. Act 22-1-2 (NLT).Paul describes to us in the in the next (1-22) verses his story. Now think of your story and the details which wrap you up and wrecks your brains with thoughts as it robs you of your inner peace. If the looping stories are bringing up more anger and bitterness then you might want to search for a better story line to tell others. You know Jesus spent much of His life undoing false stories and replacing them with truer, better and richer ones. When we exchange our sinful, false, painful stories for God’s truer ones we find that over time we also change…
Emily's iron- gray hair has chronological significance in the story. First, the hair belongs to Emily, who had sometime slept on the bed beside Homer Baron's dead body, near where it was found. This term “Iron-Gray” had only lied within passage 4 in paragraph 6 when the narrator describes changes in appearance of Emily: “During the next few years, it grew grayer and grayer until it attained an even pepper-and-salt iron- gray, when it ceased turning”(Faulkner, 4.6) this happened during the period of 6 or 7 years when she gave out china-painting lessons after Homer disappeared. Second, the phrase “Iron- gray hair” has connotations that can be applied to the story. The word: “Iron” could mean stubborn, or iron willed. Stubborn is definitely a describing word for Emily. The group of narrators describes a time when Emily came to pick up a bottle of Arsenic from the general store: “Why, of course”, the druggist said, “if…

His arms propelled his skeletal form, pushing feebly against the resistance of the tepid water. Gasping, he clutched onto the edge of the pool as he completed his timed freestyle lap. Obscuring his gaze were the black dots of fatigue, only allowing him a clouded view of his coach’s face; enough to reveal his displeasure. “17 seconds. Slower than last week and definitely not good enough.”…
One could almost see Bowker’s stressed, confused, yet accepting face through the words in the letter. He’s pouring out his thoughts about life and his place in it, all along the way thinking about what he has said and what he’s going to say next as seen in the second part of the letter that Bowker shows: “God, this is starting to sound like some jerkoff vet crying in his beer. Sorry about that.” (150). It’s here that the roller coaster of emotion levels out a little bit and we can see direct evidence of Bowker start to use this letter as a platform for self-reflection. Generally self-reflection is supposed to be used to identify personal issues to fix them and eventually make yourself into a happier, better person. Here, Bowker attempts to…
