Desire (revised)
I can’t take my eyes off the roast on the table. Sitting like a pretty present on a silver platter that shines in comparison to the plain table, glistening with honey glaze surrounded by vegetables roasted with the succulent pork. Its heavenly scent wafts towards me: powerful and sweet and savory. My salivary glands ache as waves off drool fill my mouth. Without meaning to, I let out a soft whine and drool begins pooling at the corner of my mouth. I begin taking a few tentative steps towards the roast and the ‘off-limits’ table, when all of a sudden I hear it,
“No.” it’s my Master, she’s only just set the roast on the table...
I stop but my whole body is trembling, filled with hot, burning waves of desire. I let out another whine, this time it’s purposeful and louder. The drool has filled my mouth and is dripping out, with a quick sweep of my tongue I slurp it back into my mouth. With another whine, the loudest so far, I lower myself to a sit, waiting, clearly unhappy.
I don’t take my eyes off the perfectly brown meat. I stare intensely at the grill marks, following the lines. The scent of the char in the meat hits my nose as I lift it to sniff the air, but I also have my ears up, and can hear my Master's footsteps descending into the kitchen. As soon as I’m sure she’s out of the room, I run to the table. In the other room I can hear her calling to our family and I know I have to work fast. The table comes to just above my head; I lift my nose to
Having a dream and living with passion is very important because I believe living without passion is like being dead. Someone like Tony Hawk could agree. Tony Hawk has been a professional skateboarder for over 24 years. However, he did not receive that title overnight; Tony got his first skateboard when he was only 9 years old. Since then, Tony worked extremely hard and put a lot of his focus on skateboarding. He did it because that was his Dream. Tony’s Dream was frowned upon by many of his teachers and adults alike. One of his teachers even told him that he “would never make it in the workplace if he didn’t follow directions exactly” (Hawk), but he never gave up his Dream. He kept working hard and eventually became a pro at the young age of 15.
I finish getting dressed in black leggings and, a long black tank that has the word death written in red. I walk downstairs and, into the kitchen. I smell something delicious. “What are we having.” I ask. “Venison, asparagus, and french fries. Your favorite.” Mrs. Moore
Anthony Eaton’s a new Kind of Dreaming helps the reader to recognise the various challenges and conflicts that cause the characters to change and grow.

Clambering to my feet, I pulled a bloody sliver from my palm. It left a nasty-looking hole ripe for infection, so I crossed the few short steps to the sink to wash it out. The ubiquitous orange speckled shag rug did not extend into this area. Instead, the floor was covered in a linoleum of fake bricks, one of the few ‘improvements’ that actually pleased my eye. My gaze drifted to the frying pan still smoking on the stove, and I felt a flash of anger again. Margery could’ve burned the place down with her reckless behavior.
The delicious smell of the roasting turkey adds to the mix of wonderful aromas drifting through the house. My grandmother’s kitchen looks like a circus of pots, pans, and utensils spread out all over the place. However, it might look like a mess and cramped you can tell my grandmother and the other girls know what they are doing. It’s hard not to follow the scent of the buttery aroma of the fresh sweet rolls. Even though you know you’re supposed to stay out of the kitchen you keep finding yourself trying to get whatever mouthwatering food you can get your hands on. Every time you think your being sneaky, you finally think you successfully got a piece of food, but there’s always hand there to stop you.
“When you got to the table you couldn 't go right to eating, but you had to wait for the widow to tuck down her head and grumble a little over the victuals, though there warn 't really anything the matter with them, -- that is, nothing only everything was cooked by itself. In a barrel of odds and ends it is different; things get mixed up, and the juice kind of swaps around, and the things go better.” (Twain, 1)
The best part of a long, hard-working day is when you finally get to lay in your bed, close your eyes and let your imagination run free. As you sleep your mind takes you to another place far away from the real world. You begin to dream. Over the night, you may have several dreams. In the morning, you may wake up and wonder what your dreams were suppose to mean for you and your life. By analyzing your dream, it "gives a true picture of the 'subjective state'-how we really feel about ourselves-which the conscious mind cannot or will not give" (Wietz 289). In order to find the meaning of a dream, you have to pick out the most important symbols and define them. But you may be wondering what exactly is a symbol?
To many people, dreams are the thoughts that occur while sleeping, having almost mystic qualities. For millennia the significance of dreams has escaped even the brightest of philosophers and intellectuals. Many people have speculated about why people dream and what meanings the dreams have but in recent times two theories have gained credibility in answering those questions. The first theory is Sigmund Freuds and the other is known as the cognitive theory of dreams also known as biological determinism.
The rising sun was orient in the blue sky. Dewdrops sparkle in the morning sun. Someone patted me on the back. The man whipped out a knife. He was a fat clumsy and dirty looking man. His hair had been badly cut and the ends were uneven. The sight made me stop dead in my tracks. Fear stole into my heart. He cowed me with his threats. The smell of smoke clung to his clothes.On the one hand, he had pressed and held both my hands. On the other hand, he continually stroked my body. He just bear down on me with all his strength so I was unable to repel and move. The rough cloth pricked my skin.Then I just lost it and started screaming. "Stop it !" I bellowed at him. My word made no impression on him. No one was on the scene at the time. Why he did it? What was his intention in doing that? How could this happen to me? Why should it be me? After that, every step I took sent the pain shooting up my thighs. I could not breathe. As I straightened up, the ache in my back grew worse. I bore the pain without a word of complaint. I thought it would
After a long Thursday of work on the ranch the hard working men packed into the dining hall. Everyone rushed through the lineup to eat first and instantly the sound of growling stomachs and clinking forks and knifes filled the dining room that was silent moments ago. George, Slim, Lennie, Candy and Carlson in their dirty work wear an scuffed boots sat around an old wood dining room table that was aged with scratches and cuts from the many men that had worked at the ranch before the five men that sat around the table today. The men chowed down on roast beef with gravy and garlic mashed potatoes. Lennie was thrilled as he ate his mountain of potatoes. Gravy spilled down the edge of old Candy’s lips. “Jesus Candy do you have any table manners?” Carlson asked with frustration in his deep voice.
The mouthwatering smell of roasting turkey & sizzling ham only adds to the medley of heavenly aromas wafting throughout the entire house as I step out from behind the closed door of my room. My kitchen, spacious, yet always felt cramped; like a can of sardines. I began to maneuvered my 5 year old self through the dozens of friends and family members. As squeezed between people the odor of pungent onions and jalapeño, they began bringing tears to my eyes much like my little sister when the Sarah McLachlan ASPCA commercial came on. I finally made it through
I felt hunger begin to move itself through my body. “I should’ve eaten first.” I told myself. However, I did not and that was my own mistake.It couldn’t be that much longer before they left.
“I’m gonna to milk them cows. Supper better be ready when I gits back,” He stated in a cold unemotional tone. The way he spoke sent a cold touch down my spine Things went quiet between me and Ma for another
After we get back to the campsite with bundles of woods, girls finally start cooking the lunch. Meanwhile, other students and I finally have a chance to relax, we just sit on the ground randomly and enjoy the sunshine, which is nice and comfort. A few moment later, the smell of food has run into our nose; it smells so fascinating, and I believe there are steaming fish, BBQ beef, and ingredients. Actually I can’t say no more because I’m almost driveling on my t-shirt, Mmmmm; these girls are definitely the best cookers in the world. “Wow, this smells good, do you guys need more ingredients? Here, my wife just cooks out this pork, take it.” A young farmer cross by and says. The school principal says no at beginning, but the young man is so passion
The coolness of the bar stool has long since passed from the time I sat down half an hour ago. My fingers tingle from sitting on them for far too long, and I 've become chair shaped and must stretch my aching joints, soon. Nevertheless, I remain seated like a scolded child. As I fidget, waiting for my lecture to end, my clothed feet slip over the footrest. Though I keep my head low, my spontaneous eyes pursue Alice as she paces the length of the kitchen and its interconnecting living room. Alice, my best friend, who acts more like my mother than my friend.
