Composition 1 6 September‚ 2012 “Morning Fog” I often wonder how many opportunities I’ve let slip by throughout my life. Countless colorful sunsets‚ too many moons rising into the night sky to even count‚ or even something as simple as a glance in the mirror at my own reflection.

Even though the piece of

In the short story "The Fog Horn" by Ray Bradbury the theme "loneliness can be taken for granted" is best shown through the actions of McDunn and the creature in the sea.

I must say that this film is very traumatizing. There are some images in this film that will be burned and scarred into my mind for as long as I live.

Ryan McManus Vietnam Film 2/29/12 The Fog of War In the opening scenes of the documentary‚ The Fog of War‚ Robert McNamara states‚ “Any military commander who is honest admits that he has made mistakes‚ errors of judgment.” Throughout the documentary‚ I got the sense that McNamara is asking for forgiveness from the American public and is telling them that he wishes things went differently. There are many times throughout the film that McNamara is a sympathetic figure‚ but they are mainly towards

To Change or not to Change: the Masculine-Feminine Relationship In John Cheever’s short story‚ “The Fourth Alarm‚” the narrator is perplexed by the recent actions of his rebellious wife.

Just then‚ his nostrils were assailed by a sudden‚ strange whiff of perfume. His face turned pale‚ chilly fear gripped him. It led
