Face The 100 Deadly Shot Face The 100 Deadly Roof
579 words
Oh my God, anything but rain, I whispered into the
night air that suddenly turned cold. Although I
knew that my prayers wouldn't be heard I had to
try, but the sound of thunder, that somehow
resembled a laugh, turned my dim hope into pieces.
I carefully looked around, looking for anything
that could be used as a cover from rain but found
nothing but a few old garbage bags right behind me
still they were better than nothing. I decided not
to leave my place, so I wound my leg around them
and then ...

Lean Back Room Head
677 words
I scan the room, my drunken eyes taking it all in.
I collapse onto a lounge and a cloud of dust
surrounds me, making an already hazy room, simply
a mass of grey-brown shapes. I lean back giving my
exhausted limbs time to breathe. Like an ancient
tree I eerily creak and groan as I move: relaxing
finally. Scattered around the room, memories
almost forgotten, remind one of lives once had. A
yellowing photograph hangs on the wall. A moment
in time captured forever. The smiling children
almost look a...

Downfall This novel is narrated by Chief Broom,
the son of an Indian chief, who pretends to be a
deaf mute as a protection against a society which
denies his dignity as a human being. Many of his
comments on conditions in the hospital ward and in
society, while are not literally true, are
accurate metaphors for the social regimentation
against which the novel protests. The action of
the novel begins with the arrival of Randle
Patrick Mc Murphy, a ...

Norman Bates Murder Scene

"Psycho" is Alfred Hitchcock's masterful blend of
artistic perfection and superb casual viewing. The
gift of this brilliant voyeuristic terror tale is
that you do not have to be aware of the subtle
Hitchcocki an touches that make "Psycho" an
artistic treasure. The terrifying simplicity of
the story and compelling visuals are enough to
jolt any viewer unaware of the malicious goings-on
beyond the surface of the story. However, for
those needing to delve into the underlying themes
of "Psycho", it ...

The sun shined bright and blazed hot that summer,
a summer more than a few years back but not at all
that long ago. In the San Joaquin Valley is where
our tale lies... surrounded by mountains and
rolling hills where you see grazing cattle
meandering in an ever coil up the steep golden
rises, here perched on the side of a treacherous
highway sits a large Flea Market. This market has
an unmistakable giant red barn and when days are
good the place is filled to the brim with

End Of The Book Gregor Father
1,853 words
Throughout The Metamorphosis, there are many
scenes in which Gregor's father acts very
aggressive and violent. However, there are other
scenes where Gregor's father seems lazy and weak.
Gregor's father changes throughout the whole book,
but for the most part, the author portrays him as
a power-hungry, and lethargic tyrant. During the
countless hours in his room, Gregor recalled the
days before his metamorphosis. Now his father was
still healthy, certainly, but he was an old man
who had not worke...

John Wesley Reader Feel

The imagery in Flannery OConnors A Good Man is
Hard to Find creates an atmosphere that makes the
reader feel knee deep in the story. From the first
page to the last the writer creates realistic
images and visions for the individual reading,
making them feel as if they were standing off and
watching over the characters in the story. In this
short story there is a good amount of description
of the surroundings but an even greater amount of
detail for the imagery included in the story. This

howling through the branches of the old oak tree
outside my window. The branches swayed back and
forth, creating faint tapping and screeching
sounds on the glass. And so, I sat It was a night
like any other; my music playing in the background
and the room was illuminated only by the changing
shades of green from my lava lamp. I waited.

Edgar Allan Seamless Crafting Of The Raven
1,932 words
Every writer wants to have a writing of his or
hers be a best seller from the instant he submits
it to the printer. Very few people ever accomplish
this feat. Edgar Allan Poe, however, seemed to
have a knack for making popular poems and tales.
One of his works, The Raven, was an instant
success with all kinds of people (Mabbott 350).
Although a few writers would agree with T. S.
Eliot when he said that Poe's writing has a pre
adolescent mentality (Kennedy 111), this poem is
thought by many more ...

Tinkerbell Perfume Mothers Lap Father

My Closet I sat quietly on the couch next to my
father. His short muscular arm extended over my
head as if to protect his little girl. His fingers
got lost in my strands of hair, as I yanked my
head forward as if to signal I did not want him to
play with my hair. My new baby doll with big
blonde ringlets and skin that smelled like a babys
skin after it has just been powdered, rested in my
lap. My meek hands stroked the tiny doll as if it
were alive. My father knelt down and kissed my

Divine Comedy Love Song

My Explication of The Love Song of J. Alfred
Prufrock Prufrock begins his Love song with a
peculiar quote from Dantes Divine Comedy. It
reads: If I believed that my answer were to a
person who could ever return to the world, this
flame would no longer quiver. But because no one
ever returned from this depth, if what I hear is
true, without fear of infamy, I answer you. In the
Divine Comedy these lines are spoken by a damned
soul who had sought absolution before committing a
crime. I think that E...

30 P M Underage Drinking

I think that I shall attempt to be original on
this topic. Just joking. The worst act of deviance
that I have taken part in to my recollection was
underage drinking. Before I start talking about
this particular act of deviance I would like to
say that it was a blast and I would gladly do it
again. Also I did know this act was one of
deviance, I believe most people know what they are
doing when they break the law and I particularly
did about this act. My parents and I had talked

Raymond Carver True Love

Talking about love. What is love? It may seem like
a stupid question, but on second examination, it
doesn t seem quite so stupid. After all, love is a
feeling. How can we really describe what a feeling
is or means? The meaning of any feeling can differ
greatly between individuals, and the meaning of
love is no different. In What We Talk About When
We Talk About Love, Raymond Carver weaves a tale
of two couples examining what love is. While
Carver doesn t reveal any great truths about what
