Analysis Of The Poem ' London Will Never Be The Same Again '

I took my first bite out of the apple, feet hung over the edge of the bridge. That’s when I heard the sound of a horn piercing the air, and my ears. The sound shook the ground, sending ripples through the water. I clasped my hands over my ears, trying to protect my eardrums from bursting. I looked around in panic, trying to find the source of the cruel sound. At the end of the canal I could see the lights and outline of a great cruiseship, rapidly moving closer. The people around me had noticed it at the same moment, prompting the eruption of panic throughout. I sat frozen in place, dumbfounded by what was happening in front of my very eyes. The ship finally reached the canal, bulldozing the Bauer Palazzo and the ancient Palazzo Treves. The crash sent shockwaves through the ground, and chunks of concrete and brick into plunging into the water. The ship would not cease its assault on the city, continuing on its path towards me. I shook off whatever kept me sitting down, turning off the ledge and leaping to my feet. When it hadn’t slowed down by the time it reached the hotel Albergo Lisbona, I fled towards the church San Moise. People were crowded in the square in front of the church, filling in as quick as possible. The ground continued to

Thirty people were killed instantly. Eight later died from their injuries and hundreds of others were injured. A majority of the persons killed were messengers making deliveries, stenographers, clerks, and brokers (Gross, 2001).The blast was so strong it sent debris soaring as high as 34 floors and derailed a street car one block over(Andrews, 2014). Buildings shook as their large windows burst inwards. Luckily, most of the occupants inside were spared

After it was over, the flood had destroyed 507 homes, damaged 936 homes, left over 4,000 people homeless, swept away 30 trailers and 600 automobiles, destroyed 30 businesses, washed out sections of the railroad and 10 bridges, and knocked out telephone, sewage, water and power services (Nugent 146). Over 1,000 residents sustained injuries and 125 people were killed, 7 bodies were never found (Nugent 146). “Victims lay crushed against bridges, wedged between railroad cars, swinging grotesquely from tree branches” (Nugent 151). In the days following the disaster, as the extent of the devastation unfolded, Pittston “remained silent, without even a word of condolence for the victims” (Nugent 156). When an official finally made a statement, he

An estimated $500 million today in property damage. 6 piers were demolished while 13 piers were leveled, fires continued to consume all that remained. Peter Raceta, a captain, was in a cabin watching the fire with two other men. “When the explosion came, it seemed as if it was from above- zumpf!- like a Zeppelin

I. ATTENTION GAINER: “On TV I watched as the bridge collapses. Minnesota. Rush hour. Trucks and cars suspended over water. Cars swaying and falling… imagine what those people felt, … when everything they knew, everything they believed they could trust, crashed and broke beneath them, that final moment of disbelief and then the terror as they fell.” This was an excerpt

After witnessing the explosion, the driver moved from Oklahoma to New York. He spent a month searching for a job after settling into his new apartment, and finally managed to get one at a place called the World Trade Center. Every day I see him in dress pants and a polo shirt. I begin to call him Polo. He never thinks about going back to Oklahoma City, but the explosion never leaves his memory. On some days, he is a little skeptic about going to work, but always ends up shoving out it out of his mind and going anyway. In a park in Atlanta, another explosion occurs; the TV screen shows rubble and smoke. A year after that, another tragic event takes place in Britain. Someone named Diana dies in a car accident. This means nothing to me, but the

No words can describe the cloud of sorrow that hangs over Halifax and surrounding areas. December 6th, 1917 will forever mark a tragedy in our history. I am very blessed that my business and I survived the explosion, but I too am still grieving the loved ones I lost. As I walk down to what once was known as the Richmond District of Halifax, it hard to imagine that a street was once here, a home there, because all that is visible now is debris. Debris that is covered with a light blanket of snow on this cold January day.

A few minutes after hearing the explosions, Albert said that he, James, and Laura went to work. They quickly got the excavator hot-wired and then did the same to the NYSEG truck that was parked on the side of the road with a flatbed full of concrete dividers. James swung the truck over to the west side of the bridge and parked it horizontally blocking the entrance. He then used the excavator to tip the truck over on its side, spilling the dividers and creating a makeshift dam of debris.

In "London", William Blake brings to light a city overrun by poverty and hardship. Blake discards the common, glorifying view of London and replaces it with his idea of truth. London is nothing more but a city strapped by harsh economic times where Royalty and other venues of power have allowed morality and goodness to deteriorate so that suffering and poverty are all that exist. It is with the use of three distinct metaphors; "mind-forg'd manacles", "blackning Church", and "Marriage hearse", that Blake conveys the idea of a city that suffers from physical and psychological imprisonment, social oppression, and an unraveling moral society.

London by William Blake is a poem characterised by its dark and overbearing tone. It is a glimpse at a period of England's history (particularly London) during war and poverty, experienced by the narrator as he walks through the streets. Using personification it draws a great human aspect to its representation of thoughts and beliefs of the narrator.

The prisoner lunged over the rail, as bullets incinerated the stairs, where it had been only moments before. As the prisoner flew to safety, time seemed to hold still for a moment, the world in all its perfections and imperfections holding a collective breath. Reality came crashing back, the ground shook and a nearby building transformed into smithereens, firing everything into the air.

As many were asking why the fire brigade workers weren’t trained to use the equipment so if this was avoided it could have meant that all the lives that were lost could have been with us today. This also had a problem with the company’s income as people were scared to travel on the trains. The conclusion was that this newly discovered trench effect had caused the fire to flashover at 19:45.

Asaf Elimelech, an Ichud Hatzalah volunteer, related: "I arrived at the scene of the accident and saw four cars that were involved in crash. A family coming home from a trip was in one of the cars.
