Children Give Elementary School Students
718 wordsAs I approach Arp Elementary School, many different thoughts go through my mind. I gaze at the surrounding area and notice the appearance of the building.

The energy the kids posses is reviving to my inner child. I had a strong feeling to go play on the playground with them. The boys were running around yelling, playing, and screaming. The gir...

Piece Of Writing Jewish Refugees War
781 wordsThe assigned reading was for the most part the telling of soldiers stories, whether they told of the stories they'd had or the story they were currently taking part in.

Stone, a writer for The Nation who was stationed behind a desk in Washington instead of behind a bunker at the time of the war. I mention...

Roller Coaster Second Quatrain
1,143 wordsIn his English sonnet When I Have Fears (pg. 17, Vendler), John Keats attempts to put into words the human emotions felt when dealing with death. I believe that Keats wrote this poem to describe the natural order of emotions he went through while thinking of his own mortality. The tone of the sonnet takes a roller coaster course throughout the poem from one quatrain to the next. With careful examination one can see that Keats used the first quatrain to describe a state of utter confusion, the se...
