Fact She Would Be Happy Grateful For Any Kind Soul One
974 words
For a long time, I saw her almost every day on the
train. Her gravely voice would prompt me to look
up and then quickly look down. Sometimes, she
would appear as I gazed aimlessly at the doors
that adjoin the cars of the train. She would
enter, look around, smile faintly and then
introduce herself. Her name is Marion. She is
homeless. But no, she doesnt steal and never has
in her life. She is down on her luck and needs
help. And can we please help her? A dime, a
nickel, anything. In fact, she wo...

Beach Sand Water

I'm walking along the beach. It is not just any
beach, it is my beach. Of course not really but I
call it my beach, because every time I am at this
place there is nothing else but the beach and me.
I'm walking in the sand, barefoot. The salty water
is cool, but not cold. With each step I leave a
footprint in the wet, grainy sand. But it doesn't
last for a long time because the next wave
overflows it soon, takes it away into the wide
ocean. The wind is blowing my open hair into my
face. The smell...

day allow the Greeks to look up to him as a role
model. Perhaps the greatest characteristic that

shipmates is the wit and ability to trust the gods
with their advice. The Odyssey begins 10 years
after the Iliad had left off and Odysseus is
trapped on an island with Calypso. Odysseus then

Miss Drew Train Tracks Billy

Billy Bathgate, is a book of a young boys
transition into manhood. It is an amazingly
well-written book that intrigued me the entire way
through. It starts out in Billy's hometown, the
Bronx of New York in the twenties; a time of
social unrest and prohibition. The apartment
building Billy lives in is not the epitome of
cleanliness. The streets are littered with papers
and loud noises of the trains that go by every
hour. Rundown little bungalows and an occasional
three-story fake brick building s...
