Effects Of The Atomic Bomb
787 words
The effects of the atomic bomb were terrible.
Theres no doubt in my mind that the atomic bombs
dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were a costly
mistake. Atomic bombs produce heat millions of
degrees high, and visible ultraviolet and inferred
rays. (Lapp 844) Everyone and everything exposed
to their blast is affected. No one is left
untouched, whether it be emotional or physical; in
many cases both. However, many members of the
science community argue that the atomic bomb was a
great advance in te...

It all happened so fast; it felt like a dream. I
wish I could tell everybody my story but no one is
listening now. Yeah, that was the best: the dreams
we had. Nothing mattered except for those
otherworldly dreams. Every day, Louie and I would
wake up, whether it be in a high school boiler
room or a urine-soaked alley, and talk about what

the bird in my hands. I was very excited. I hunted
almost all my life and finally shot something. I
hunted and still hunt because I enjoy going out in
nature, to relax, and learn new skills like
finding the trace of an animal. Going out hunting
is exciting because it is one of my favorite
hobbies. When I was five years old I began hunting
with my grandfather, but it wasnt me that shot

1,068 words
... r millionaire? He is a person who retires to
the town during the summer only portraying to be a
millionaire rather than being one. He displays the
town people as being lethargic. The proof of this
statement can be seen in his description of the
interior decorator because there is no money in
his work, / hed rather marry (23 - 24). To justify
the meaning of the skunks, Lowell states that the
skunks are both quixotic and barbarously absurd,
hence the tone of amusement and defiance (210).

A Favorite Place For Stress Relief

A Favorite Place for Stress Relief My favorite
place for stress relief is Stonehenge, and
although I have only visited this mysterious place
a couple of times, this structure somehow makes
all your worries and fears disappear. In the hill
country of northern England, many sites of
Stonehenge exist. Approximately 150 to 200
enormous stones lie stacked on top of each other
forming somewhat of an altar. Tall stones stand
upright surrounding the center stone which is
bluestone. This is unlike the sa...

John Keats View On Alienation And Ecstasy
1,510 words
John Keats View On Alienation And Ecstasy The real
John Keats is far more interesting than the
languid aesthete of popular myth. Readers of his
poetry get a very distinct feeling that Keats
believes that a person spends most of his time
being alienated from the society, experiencing
only a few moments of ecstasy. The poets life
explains much of the leading themes of his poetry
(which seem to be alienation and ecstasy). Most of
his best work appeared in one year. Keats was born
in London as the s...

Heaven Below Our Feet Heaven Is Under Our Feet Thoreau
903 words
The Heaven Below Henry David Thoreau's time spent
at Walden Pond led him to a complex, manifold
understanding of nature itself, as well as the
nature of man. Thoreau's time on Walden Pond,
however, led him to an equally elaborate and
intricate awareness of spiritual truths. As
Thoreau writes in The Pond in Winter chapter of
Walden, Heaven is under our feet as well as over
our heads (283). Although seemingly placed quite
nonchalantly at the end of the paragraph, this
