Soul And Body Small Things

Forged in the fire of revolution and defined by
manifest destiny, America has always been the land
of the individual. Although the American dream has
not always been coherent, (married with 2. 5 kids,
2 cars, a dog and a satisfying job), the spirit of
innovation, individuality and progress remains
unchanged. The father of free verse, and perhaps
the American perspective of poetry, Walt Whitman
embodies these values in his life and work. First
published in 1855 in Leaves of Grass, "Song of
Myself...

000 Years Ago Theory Of Evolution
1,288 words
Creationism is the theory that man, the earth, and
the rest of the universe was originally created
rather than randomly exploding from nothingness
into chance existence. We reside on the surface of
a small superbly crafted, autonomous self
regulating space vehicle. Together with survival,
conquest and death we bear witness to beauty,
fragrances, love and music. Think about this.
Mathematics, philosophy, springtime, depravity,
farming, courtship, quasars, and bubble gum; all
came from nothingness...

Pontellier, wife and mother. It is a novel about
the choices one will makes to protect one's
personal freedom. The story is based on a time in

daughters, good wives, and good mothers. A woman
was expected to move from the protection of her
father's roof to the protection of her husband.

Creative Story: The Lake It was the middle of
springtime and across from my house where the
incident took place. There was a lake there in
which my brother and I loved to explore from time
to time. The humidity and water drops where
reminiscent of a fully functional sauna. The
onslaught of heat and burning glow of the sun was
relentless. Nonetheless, this fact did not bother
us one bit, but gave us more incentive to dance
with our cool and embracing long-lost love. The

Farm Security Administration Farm Security Dust

Not only stock markets were affected by the

what the 1, 000 feet high, black dust clouds were.
Some thought life was ending, and others thought
it was judgment day. This phenomenon was caused by

whether just within their immediate family or
eventually with all the others who shared the same
struggles and sufferings. Steinbeck's dialogue and
