Hibbs Composition 2 February 3‚ 2014 In the Long Hall When life throws you lemons‚ you squeeze them and make lemonade; just like in the poem “In the Long Hall”‚ when the young boy gets stuck in between the tapestry trying to move forward‚ but the tapestry continued to unravel behind him as he tried to move forward.
