In the small town of Eichenburg many fliers have appeared reading “in search of adventurers. High risks, high rewards”. Everyone seems to ignore these poster, all except for three. Jeremiah, the son of the foolish doctor in search to do more with his life than be a laughing stock. Barneth,a thief passing through town on the run from the law, intrigued by the promise of rewards. Edmund a once great adventurer looking to prove to himself he is still capable of his past achievements. All three contemplate the flier for days, until each pulls one down from its rusty nail. The flier disintegrates in their hands leaving a burn mark on their palm reading “beneath the stone bridge. On the day of god.” Each is mystified by what has happened. So on when Sunday comes each travels to the stones one and only stone built bridge. Underneath the bridge is a small wooden table surrounded by five wooden chairs. The first of the three men to arrive is Barneth, he notices in one chair a cloaked figure who does not speak when he approaches, Barneth remains in high alert unsure of what will happen. The next to arrive is Jeremiah, he approaches the table noticing the thief and the cloaked figure, he extends his hand to the thief, who laughs at the scrawny boy,ignoring the gesture, hardly believing he is an adventurer. …show more content…
The older gentleman stops before approaching the table, looking at the others, considering walking back, but moves ahead and takes a seat. Jeremiah notices the old hero. -“My Father has told me stories of you, you are the noble Edmund!”, Jeremiah speaks with a tone of wonder in his voice. Barneth glares at Edmund, not knowing who the man is. Edmund breaks his glance with the thief before turning to the younger boy. -“Your Father ,eh?” Edmund examines the boy. “Is he not that fool of a doctor? I hear he couldn't heal a mule with a simple cough.” Edmund and the thief chuckle. Jeremiah's face grows

Drinking age is not a strange phrase in our lives. Every time when we go to club or buy some liquor, we have to show our photo ID to prove that we have already 21 and we are legal to drink wine. I think this is a really good method to control drinking problem. Before I read these two articles which are “The 21-Year-Old Drinking Age: I Voted for it, It Doesn’t Work” by Dr. Morris E. Chafetz and “The Drinking Age of 21 Saves Lives” by Toben F. Nelson and Traci L. Toomey, I only felt that when people grow up they will have self-control to hold their desire for drinking and could decide whether it is appropriate to drink at that moment. I didn’t collect any data or information to support my opinion,
After considering my above feelings and thoughts I realised that by being aware of the time I spent on the risk assessment, I was able to keep it as necessary and as concise as I had hoped for. Previously I have ran out of time completing the full assessment, meaning that the ending of the assessment is typically missed off. According to Westbrook et al (2007) five or ten minutes is required at the end of treatment to conclude and set up a homework task. Although at the time I was feeling anxious and nervous; attempting to keep track of the time allowed me to achieve the assessment in the time I had allocated myself.

Upon hearing this, Edmund presents himself as sympathetic and supportive towards Gloucester. After his father leaves, Edmund reveals to the reader his true intentions of betraying his father and taking his title. This abrupt transformation of attitude and objective is part of the theme of “Appearance vs Reality.” Although he appears to be loyal and innocent to Gloucester, the reality is that he is planning to overthrow Gloucester and is apathetic towards his
Conjoined by Judith Minty is a poem that represents a broken relationship or a broken marriage. Minty uses similes, metaphors, and analogies to describe the miserable union of two people and the inseparability of the marriage that these two people are in. Marriage; the poem’s subtitle sets the theme of the poem and it is only when one begins to read the poem that it becomes understood as an unhappy poem rather than that of joy and happiness. Minty uses words that with connotations that steer more to the negative side to describe the life of a married couple. Although she does not come right out and say what she means to say, the poem speaks for itself. Orson Scott Card once said, “Metaphors have a way of holding the most truth in the least
As Freder makes his transition into the underworld, we come to the scene in the catacombs where a crowd of dark figures with pale faces is contrasted with the white crosses in the background, and the touching figure of the good Maria. The construction of the great tower is shown to us as we witness thousands slaving to complete it. The workers, without choice, lug the great stones through the streets.
In the novel “Into the Wild”, the author, Jon Krakauer, memorializes the life of the young adventurer Chris McCandless. McCandless aspired to travel to Alaska to break loose from the traditional conveniences of society and civilization. During his trip, McCandless journaled about his adventures. However, he did not live long enough to disclose the details of his journey in person. After discovering McCandless’s story, Krakauer decided to write “Into the Wild”. Although Krakauer never met McCandless, Krakauer is able to authorize voicing a dead man’s saga in a trustworthy narrative because of his use of McCandless’s journals and letters, primary source information from Chris’s friends and family, and by showing the parallels between him and the life of McCandless.
