Blood Supply Red Cross

Every day, thousands of Americans in need of lifesaving blood, including trauma victims and surgery patients, rely on the efforts of volunteer blood donors. We need a steady flow of blood donors to keep our blood supply stable. Many people...

Homer Barron Miss Emily
1,159 words... to those angels in coloured church windows- sort of tragic and serene. It gave me the image of someone with a child-like innocence who clearly was in dire need of some help, she sounds very lost. The other thing that grabs me about this description is the use of the word angel which I find ironic considering that we later find out that she keeps a corpse locked away in an upstairs room. Its safe to maybe say that she is an Angel of death. The other character that keeps coming up in this stor...

Rose Of Sharon Grapes Of Wrath
1,127 wordsThe Grapes of Wrath Theres an old saying, Blood is thicker than water. Well, nothing proves truer than the families in The Grapes of Wrath. When faced with hardships, people leaned on their kin for support and love, and in the worst of times would even turn their backs on those they had known for years to protect and provide for their families: Cant think of that. Got to think of my own kids. Three dollars a day, and it comes every day. Times are changing, mister, dont you know? Cant make a livi...

Rose Of Sharon Grapes Of Wrath
546 wordsJohn Steinbeck shows the readers many themes in The Grapes of Wrath. One of the most apparent is as Steinbeck stated, The Joad's passage through a process of education for the heart. Many characters in The Grapes or Wrath exhibit this theme, but it is valiantly apparent in the actions of the Joad's as a family, Tom, Casy, and Rose of Sharon. Although each person in the Joads family is a separate individual, the family often acts as thought it were one person. As one might expect the experiences ...

Dont Like Being An Object Friends Cannot Be Objects Zen Phaedrus
949 wordsFriends Cannot Be Objects (Zen And The Friends Cannot Be Objects (Zen And The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance) Friends Cannot Be Objects I suppose if I were a novelist rather than a Chautauqua orator Id try to develop the characters of John and Sylvia and Chris with action-packed scenes that would also reveal inner meanings of Zen and maybe Art and maybe even Motorcycle Maintenance. That would be quite a novel, but for some reason I dont feel quite up to it. Theyre friends, not characters, and as ...

Loud Soldier Good Lord
5,290 wordsImagery The cold passed reluctantly from the earth, and the retiring fogs revealed an army stretched out on the hills, resting. As the landscape changed from brown to green, the army awakened, and began to tremble with eagerness at the noise of rumors. It cast its eyes upon the roads, which were growing from long troughs of liquid mud to proper thoroughfares. A river, amber-tinted in the shadow of its banks, purled at the army's feet; and at night, when the stream had become of a sorrowful black...

Human Race Dont Care
603 wordsIve come to the realization that if people would let go of their fear and worry about the unknown and what is strange to us that we would realize that most religions were created by ancient, un-evolved minds as a way to answer unanswerable questions as to why mankind exists, and to subjugate the masses through fear and guilt. If people would stop dying for conformity and for one second sit back and look at all of the problems religion has caused, we might actually get somewhere without some anci...

Sitting In A Bathtub Ringing And Pounding God
786 wordsThe Poetry Explication Poetry Explication The second sonnet in Mark Jarman's group of sonnets entitled The Word Answer can be interpreted two different ways. Is there a right way from which to view this poem, or is the poet simply exercising his God given right to ambiguity? Sonnet 2, as I will refer to it, revolves around someone sitting in a bathtub when suddenly there is a knock at the door, which soon turns into ringing and pounding, and finally the sound of breaking glass. Throughout the po...

Atticus Finch Human Rights
1,483 wordsWhat kind of reasons would inspire someone to give up their time, talent, and treasure for another individual hardly known to them? Why would anyone risk his or her occupation, social standing, and prestige, to stand up for a single moral belief in justice? This value of individualism is extremely rare in society. Harper Lees novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, paints a very real picture of this value in the character Atticus Finch. Atticus relinquishes his basic need to care for himself. He decides n...
