about swirling through the air like discarded
post-it notes smashing, slapping against the trees

Act Of Violence Short Story
752 words
In serious fiction, no act of violence exists for
its own sake. Graham Green, in his short story The
Destructors, reveals certain intangible needs met
through one central act of violence. One need we
all have as humans is the need to be creative, to
express ourselves, to use our imagination. All
little boys use their imaginations, which is based
on what they see in their environment, whether
that be television or their own neighborhood. The
gang of boys in The Destructors witnessed

possibly one of the most scary. Set in a cramped
house, with nothing but darkness all around (The
LAPD dont negotiate with terrorists, they said) he

flashing by and creepy moonlight shinning in the
night while being interrupted by the red and blue
lights of the truck all seemed very confusing. I
sat there and thought about of what was happening
thirty minutes ago, as I was sitting down on my
wide couch and watchi...

Sexual Intercourse Third Stanza
1,343 words
John Donne's poems are similar in their content
love, sex, and religion and dissimilar in the
feelings they express. These subjects reflect the
different stages of his life: the lust of his
youth, the love of his married middle age, and the
piety of the latter part of his life. The Flea
presents the youthful restless feeling of lust
with a true respect for women through the
metaphysical conceit of the flea as a church in
the rhythm of the sexual act. The speaker in The
Flea is a restless, would-...

Da Vinci Six Months
1,127 words
Leonardo's "Last Supper" is among the most famous
paintings in the world. In its monumental
simplicity, the composition of the scene is
masterful; the power of its effect comes from the
striking contrast in the attitudes of the twelve
disciples as counterpoised to Christ. Leonardo did
not choose the portrayal of the traitor Judas
customary in the iconographic tradition; he
portrayed, rather, that moment of highest tension
as related in the New Testament, "One of you which
earth with me will betr...

When literature first began to take flight in
America, many of the stories written were of the
Gothic variety. American society, at the time,
seemed to connect with fantasy and reality,
therefore many early writers wrote in the Gothic
