Dining Room Wooden Table
966 words
We pulled into the gravel driveway a punctual half
hour before our expected arrival. Great, I
thought, an extra hour I would be waste at my
grandparents'. Wasn't it good enough that I was
spending the entire weekend here? Did we have to
get there so soon? When you are thirteen, each
minute at your grandparents' is like sitting
through an oration of the entire set of the World
Book Encyclopedia. Climbing out of the car, my
sister and I apathetically walked across the
driveway to the brick sidewal...

The lights are off, visibility zero, you here a
noise, you get up and fall over your table; now
imagine that experience your whole life by being
blind. There is more then what meets the eye when
we refer to sight. The eye can be surgically
trained to see but the mind can not identify the
object if it has never been seen. When blind
patients feel an object they know what it is
because that is how the brain has been trained to
identify objects. Those who are deprived of sight
and had it surgically...

Rose For Emily Norton Anthology
1,126 words
An analysis of "A Rose for Emily" by Celia
Rodriguez West suggests that modern art grew out
of a dissatisfaction with existing belief. He also
claims that nineteenth-century romanticism in
England and in America, particularly during the
latter half of this age, was relatively
complacent, but that this complacency became an
impossibility following the shock of World War I
(West, 92). Artists asked the questions: "Which
values of the past are illusory? Which have value
for us today? In what terms ...

Arrested Bar Year
1,053 words
If there is anything glorious or romantic about
being a cop I certainly do not know what it is. My
experience as a law enforcement officer lasted
only a few years, but in that time I nearly burned
myself out to a level of superior cynicism. For
me, enforcing laws was like being trapped in the
chaotic middle of a sociological chamber of
horrors. Coping with such a high level of
emotional disenchantment impacted me drastically
and threatened to chisel my psyche down to a dark
mute point. The respo...

Beach, " a brief biography of the poet will help
us understand the poem and the mood he is in while
writing it. The reader should know that Matthew

Not exactly, Minister Nigel Hawthorne Straight
Face Hodder 038; Stoughton? 18. 99, pp 328
Nigel Hawthorne's friends have been surprised by
the frank discussion in these memoirs of his
sexuality. In life, he never mentioned it,
unwilling to embarrass people with what he claimed
was a non-issue. But what we get here is
sexuality, not sex life; for all his openness, the
book is remarkably discreet, mentioning only two
lovers by name and a third (whom Hawthorne
rejected after watching him eat) wi...

Rose For Emily Homer Barron
1,242 words
William Faulkner's A Rose for Emily draws a vivid
picture of the south of the United States the turn
of the century. It begins with the narrator
mentioning the funeral of the eponymous Miss
Emily. Faulkner's style in revealing the
consequences of Emily Grierson's life and the
shocking revelations of her death is very
interesting. The narrative structure of the piece
is interesting in that it does not follow a
typical chronological order. The details of the
story are revealed slowly by Faulkner a...
