The darkened windows reflected the glaring glow of the jeep headlights as Chloe pulled up close to the cabin. She’d completely lost track of time at Rosie’s, and it was a little past midnight by the time she arrived back home. The bright moon, not yet full, shined overhead, casting the forest in a cool silvery blue. Choruses of crickets and other nocturnal critters filled the air and almost drowned out the roar of the engine. Chloe shut the car off and killed the lights, letting nature illuminate the cabin in all its eerie glory. All at once, she wondered a million things. Was Gavin inside waiting for her? Had she missed him completely? Or had he always been there, lurking in the shadows? It was a disturbing thought that he might have
People already know that rats are very disgusting creatures that live in sewers and eat trash. But these four articles introduced new insights to the problems that rats cause. Some of them include causing destructive infestations, horrible diseases that can harm or kill people and pets, and the danger of using pesticides to humans. The first reason and paragraph discusses what rat infestations are and why they occur, the second paragraph talks about the dangers to human society, and the third paragraph discusses the ways people are trying to rid their lives of rats.

Paragraph 1 tone : He seems nervous about this trip He says ,“We’ve all been up since midnight, starting our predive checks after a couple of restless hours of sleep, and the whole team is running on adrenaline. These are the roughest conditions I’ve dived in so far on the expedition” The way he says that they’ve been up the whole night doing checks without sleep and how this is one of the roughest conditions he has dived in so far just gives the sense of nervousness if he will make the challenge.
In this chapter Elie names two things that are “his entire life.” What are those two things that Elie values most? How do these two things contrast to the things he valued before entering into the concentration camp?
An important theme in Kate Chopin’s novel The Awakening is the desire for some women to abandon their dull lives as only mothers and wives. In other words, solitude. The main character, Edna Pontellier is a woman with such desires. She has two sons with her husband, Leonce Pontellier, whom she would rather not be with. The theme mentioned earlier is seen all throughout the novel, by means of several different symbols, including birds. There are three examples of birds used within the story, two of which in the very first chapter. The story opens with a loud parrot repeating the phrase: ‘Allez vous-en! Allez vous-en! Sapriste!” (Chopin 1) This roughly translates to “Go away! Go away! For God’s sake!” These words
“The best measure of a spiritual life is not its ecstasies but its obedience.” – Oswald Chambers
Pg 379- “In Sugamo prison, as he was told of Wantanbe’s fate, all Louie saw was a lost person, a life now beyond redemption. HE felt something that he had never felt for his captor before. With a shiver of amazement, he realized that it was compassion.”
1) “They carried the soldier’s greatest fear, which was the fear of blushing. Men killed, and died, because they were embarrassed not to. It was what had brought them to the war in the first place, nothing positive, no dreams of glory or honor, just to avoid the blush of dishonor. They died so as not to die of embarrassment” (O’Brien 20).
An interesting passage is, “I have nothing to say of my life during this period. It no longer mattered. After my father’s death, nothing could touch me anymore” (Wiesel 82).
Marie’s feelings for Meursault are almost admirable. Even in jail she continues to put a smile on her face for him and visit him. She must really love him. His visit with her is odd because he cares more of what's going on around him than his time with her. It’s odd because he says he misses Marie and sex so much but he doesn’t even take the time to really look at her. I keep wondering where Raymond is. After all this was his fight to begin with, in my opinion he should have been the first visitor for Meursault.
After reading The Dreamer by Junot Díaz, the message is clear; sometimes sacrifices have to be made in order to take that next step in the direction of your dreams. While the end result may not be what was anticipated, sometimes the outcome is just as rewarding. In the case of this story, it was a mother’s dream to become a nurse in the United States, and while she wasn’t able to achieve this dream, a different positive outcome unfolded. The decision to endure physical pain and sickness to open the possibility of reaching a dream is sometimes the most necessary thing to do.
After five minutes of fighting Lucas sat down in the back seat and slammed the door in the face. I could have easily pulled the door off and sent it hurtling into the road colliding with a number of cars and pedestrians, but I would have preferred not to spend the night in a prison cell. The feeling of possible death surrounded my heart as I sat down in the passenger seat and almost hit my head on the dashboard when Charlotte pulled out of the parking lot and onto the road all before I had my seat belt on. Charlotte parked the car in front of the hotel I jumped out of the car thought about kissing the ground then remembered I didn't feel like getting sick and grabbed the sunglasses out of the trunk. I carefully placed the sunglasses over Samantha's eyes so people wouldn't know she was asleep and leaned her up against Lucas and Alexander's shoulders. I grabbed the three grocery bags out of the trunk and turned my gaze to the
The Dreamer is a series of animations about dreams as personal cognitive experiences. The series represents the dream within the dream. In other words, it is the act of meditating about the dream of the humankind, in which we transform nature, create civilization, and materialize dreams through art making.
WSymbols are the language of dreams. A symbol can invoke a feeling or an idea and often has a much more profound and deeper meaning than any one word can convey. At the same time, these symbols can leave you confused and wondering what that dream was all about.
Before I knew it, the next summer had passed, and I found myself in the bustling streets of Diagon Alley, shopping for school supplies unfortunately, with my family. Elara and Theodore were off gaping at a shop window that was displaying the Nimbus 2000, which, I admit, was very aesthetically pleasing.
