Bloodthirsty's Poem

When developing the different points to analyze I found that the way I was setting this paper up was truly showcasing my abilities to analyze a passage from a well know author. While going through the text, I found a vast amount of imagery,” When considering the imagery in the folktale one of the first

If it had become a competition in which we, Like children desperate for the blue ribbon, Pulled knotted hemp, gripping until certain Of calluses, if our contest awarded the strongest, The boy who could best inflict pain yet not Flinch when injured, then you won, for I must Imagine the brown of your back to reach my Peak, a short thread of breaths, a tug of war With the heaviest child grunting at the end Of the rope until jerked and dragged over The line. That fat kid flounders through muck The way I splash your relentless name

Staples, Inc. is a "green" company, and ranked in the top 25 on the Green Power Partner list put out by the EPA (Pallavi, 2006). Nearly 3000 of its office products have at least some recycled content in them. Clearly, Staples has sustainability and the global village in mind. By using recycled content, Staples shows that it is committed to helping people live better lives and reducing the number of items that end up discarded in landfills each year. The paper the company sells and uses is environmentally friendly, and Staples is working on the creation of its own brand of products that are produced with raw materials that are green. The fulfillment center in Maryland is solar powered, and a store in California is also using solar power for at least part of its energy needs (Pallavi, 2006). Strategies to reduce power usage include putting all copiers in the store in "sleep mode" if they go unused for more than 15 minutes, which saves the company more than $1 million every year on its energy bills. That simple step also keeps 11 million pounds of harmful carbon monoxide out of the atmosphere (Dalkir & Warren-Boulton, 2003).

In this story, the Indians often resort to violence when faced with something that threatens their culture, or way of life. They see the fact

Commencing the story, we are presented by the narrator to the city of Omelas, and the first day of the Festival of Summer- only hint of exposition of the story. The narrator uses a positive tone; the knowledge of the town seems to run deeply while he/she describes the “houses with red roofs and painted walls” and the “old moss-grown gardens” that the procession taking place is passing by. Dances, melodies, mirth, and bustle fill the boulevards as the citizens prepare for the big horse race. This scenario is like a joyous, luxury fairy tale, “long ago and far away, once upon a time” with "a clamor of bells" and "swallows soaring." Afterwards, the narrator comes to talk about the citizens, and here is when we start catching some vestiges of uncertainty diction-wise. Despite previously establishing that these are happy people, we get a minor lecture on what the narrator knows we have come to expect of such an idealistic way of living: kings, princesses, and battles for glory. However, that is not the case; there is no such thing as monarchy, slaves, clergy, or even military in Omelas. Only those things which bring happiness and prosperity to the city are tolerated, for as the narrator describes in a barely attached tone, “Happiness is based on a just discrimination of what is necessary, what is neither necessary nor destructive, and what is destructive” (Le Guin, 2).

The gruesome action of Farquhar’s hanging is broken up by placid descriptions of his wife that convey how “war is grotesque[,] but in truth war is also beauty” (Things

All Souls’ Morning by Eamon Grennan is poem that explores the way of life and how the way things are in life. The poem isn’t supposed to be a sad poem, telling us about how life is quite meaningless, rather it is supposed to be an acceptance of the way life is for humanity. The poem uses the daily practices of life, recollection of past events, relationships developed as a human being and the circular motion of life to explore the way and the meaning of life in this poem.

After a long journey, you find yourself in uncharted territory. As you scout the area, you notice a small village off in the distance. Upon approaching this settlement, you are greeted by some armed townsfolk. They attack you without warning, and take you to a large hall in the center of town. There, you see many men parading around in an intoxicated stupor, showing off their trophies and talking of their success in past battles and wars. They eat with bare hands, ripping at the food and drinking until they can no longer handle themselves, finding a home on the open floor. The hall is dressed with weapons of war, from shields to swords and everything in between. The women are wrapped in chains, fulfilling their only purpose of serving the

In the loosely allied kingdom of Leodia, the fragile peace is threatened by a scheme from the shadows, where an immortal lord obsesses over curing the curse that afflicts his people, the akhkharu. Alaric Aelfvaldar pursues his agenda across ages of time, but his chase is finally at an end. The artifact he seeks is within reach, but its taking will disrupt a world ignorant of his people's existence and threaten to destroy all he has worked to protect.

A young woman started playing a traditional wedding hymn and the side door of the Cabinet room opened and the priest, Jackson and Harry walked into the rose garden and stood by the alter. Both men were in their Marine Corps dress uniforms, complete with officer swords and Jackson’s left arm was in a sling. Both men cut quite the handsome figure standing there as United States Marines. The Medal of Honor, The highest military honor that the United States could bestow upon a member of the U.S. military, awarded for personal acts of valor above and beyond the call of duty stood out around the neck of Colonel Jackson MacKenzie. This moment was very special to him so he decided to wear it in public for the first time at his wedding. Followed closely by Jackie when she stepped out of the Palm room in the West cannonade in simple and elegant white wedding dress with Colonel Chris Patterson.

You open your eyes. You're not really sure what just happened. The last thing you remember is stepping in some weird puddle of goo accidentally, and then that goo started engulfing your leg with the rest of your body quickly following suit. Looking down, you see that you're still covered in the strange slime.

Okay since I have nothing to share at the moment, I'm going to list things I hate.
