Day After Day Dark Green
1,427 words
"The sun flared down on the growing corn day after
day until a line of brown spread along the edge of
each green bayonet, so the earth became pale, pink
in the red country and white in the gray country.
In the water-cut gullies the earth dusted down in
dry little streams. Gophers and ant lions started
small avalanches. And as the sharp sun struck day
after day, the leaves of the young corn became
less stiff and erect; they bent in a curve at
first, and then, as the central ribs of strength
grew ...

... in the world of it shall bring back again the
lost eagerness of my youth. I sit (Remarque, All
Quiet VII. 151) But Baumer continues to wait and
the sign does not come; quiet rapture does not
occur. The room itself, and the pre-enlistment
world it represents, become alien to him. "A
sudden feeling foreignness suddenly rises in me. I
cannot find my way back" (Remarque, All Quiet VII.
152). Baumer understands that he irredeemably lost
to the primitive, military, non-academic the war.

Million Years Ago Five Hundred
1,312 words
On Saturday 12 th 2000, my family and I went on a
float trip on the Huzzah River in Steelville,
Missouri. The Huzzah River and its surroundings
were a perfect location for me to look for my
fossil. Since the water level was shallow, that
enabled me to look to the river bottom. Almost
immediately after I began my search near the edge
of the river, I spotted a rock that appeared to
have some sort of shell embedded in it. I decided
this would be a good specimen for me to try to
examine and identify...

Soap Operas King James

For me Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury is a prophet
for the future. Unfortunately it is a real one.
The book describes a lurid picture of our world a
world where books are burned. Heinrich Heine once
said that Where they have burned books, they will
end in burning human beings. It is also necessary
to consider that the book was written after
Hitlers deeds became familiar to the world
(Nuremberg trails). In our book we have a similar
example a woman burned with her books. Bradbury
compares the Naz...
