Back And Forth Pine Trees
1,119 wordsAs a child, on any hot, sunny summer day there was always a good chance that my family and I would be going swimming. Going to our cousins? house to swim in their pond were exciting times. We parked in their driveway and walked through the very tall pine trees that went up as far as the eye could see and as far down. The trees seemed like an entrance into another world. If I looked up, I barely saw the tips of the trees swaying back and forth by a light breeze. I faintly smelled the light scent ...

Leaseholder Larry Silverstein World Trade Centre Towers
1,186 wordsReach for the sky One day last November I spent a long sad afternoon prowling around the perimeter of the smoking ruins of the World Trade Centre, trying to take in the horror of what I was seeing, exchanging numb civilities with equally shell-shocked strangers. I saw my own bewilderment's reflected in the eyes of those who had gathered at the site not, I believe, as voyeurs, but out of a graver, more honourable compulsion to bear witness. In the rather different aspect of those who came here ev...

Gods And Goddesses Guilty Conscience

After reading The Gods and Goddesses of Olympus, my first reaction was that it was a wonderful and fascinating example of how Greek mythology explains the theories about life, death, and the wonders of nature.
