“I love you, Wade, you big idiot,” Peter spoke, his tone almost too quiet even to his own ears. The only response he got in return was the light breeze blowing against his cheek and the gentle sway of the bare trees surrounding him. Paired with his own soft sniffles.
Tears slid down his pink stained cheeks, he never thought he would have to be in this position. It was always assumed that it’d be the other way around, not to say that would be any better.
A grave sat in front of him displaying his love’s name in font almost too pretty to be appropriate. Flowers decorated the edges of the plot along with a little Canadian flag (courtesy of Steve after being told an American Flag would make no sense).
The funeral had been weeks ago, yet the second date engraved into the stone still haunted Peter’s thoughts. It

He remembers The Green Goblin fighting him and he remembers Wade swooping in to help save the day. He remembers Norman pinning him down long enough to pull out a syringe of a green liquid. He remembers Wade getting in the way and wrestling around with the monster. He remembers Wade getting injected with the serum and the pained screams that followed after.
He remembers getting Wade to Stark Tower and he remembers waiting for Wade to heal like he always does. But this time, he remembers Wade getting worse instead of better. His cancer was as bad as ever. His skin becoming almost too sensitive to touch. He remembers Wade telling him that even moving his eyes hurt him.
Every detail of the last two months was etched into his memory, depriving him of sleep and making his appetite less than normal. His voice was always hoarse after falling asleep, his screams from the nightmares becoming too much for his throat to handle.
It become so bad that he had to sell his apartment and move into Stark Tower to be looked after. His room had to be made sound proof so he didn't make anybody else up when the night terrors become too
Seconds later, Booker’s tranquil face came into view and he managed a tense smile. “Sorry,” he mumbled, his cheeks flaming with embarrassment. He felt like a fool because he knew both Booker and Levine were trying to help him, but he was struggling to control the fear that was steadily rising, making it difficult for him to breathe.
A shrill scream escaped his lips, his eyelids fluttering and threatening unconsciousness. It had been going on so long that he didn't even feel the pain anymore, in its place stood an overwhelming feeling of tiredness. There was a final blow and his tense body slumped to the floor. Officer John Parkson woke with a jolt.
The first motif of the story is Gravestones. Gravestones symbolize the literal and metaphorical silence in the story. Gravestones represent the literal silence as “for years that quiet company had mocked his restlessness,” and that “his desire for change and freedom... But now all desire for change had vanished,

That’s how the weeks after weeks went by in the facility, flowing like a repeating dull song, like a sea minor the wind and wave. Despite the medicine he regularly swallowed three times a day, he doubled his trouble sleeping. Most of the night,
Love You Forever is a classic heart-warming story by Robert Munsch built around a simple, but eternally meaningful commitment from a mother to a child to love him forever. Robert Munsch has become a world-renowned author of children’s books for his unique use of exaggerated expressions that produce sounds that are very appealing and fun for children. In Love You Forever Munsch uses words like “crazy” and “zoo” to add the effect of comedy but the overall theme of the story strikes chords that are much deeper than exaggerated expressions (Munsch np). Robert Munsch started Love you Forever as a song: “I’ll love you forever, I’ll like you for always, as long as I’m living my baby you’ll
“Are you sure?” he asked quietly. You nodded slowly. He engulfed you in a hug and you held onto him for dear life. You inhaled his scent, somehow it made you calm. The two of you pulled away from each other and Scott grabbed ahold of your arm. “Ready?” he asked you. You nodded again and screwed your eyes shut.
‘Modern’ slavery in America began in 1619 when the first wave of slaves, were brought from Africa to a North American colony in Jamestown, Virginia. From 1619 to 1807 (when The Act Prohibiting Importation of Slaves was made) according to the Trans-Atlantic Slave Database 12.5 million african were shipped to America. Prior to this slavery had existed as early as 1400 in europe. In America their sole purpose was to facilitate the production of lucrative crops such as Tobacco and cotton. By the 18th century this form of labour was exercised throughout a majority of the American colonies in the plantations, as it allowed for a very large economic profit, which southern America became dependant on. By the 19th Century with America’s westward expansion and the growing abolition movement, a debate was provoked over Slavery that would eventually lacerate the already deteriorating ties between the north and south in the Civil war. Although the victory of the north ‘freed’ 4 million slaves, the repercussions of slavery continued even after a century in the civil rights movement. There are a range of perspectives from the past and present, however most extremists whom were for slavery came from the past and in contrast most extremists whom are against slavery exist in the present. At the time, in the south the majority were for Slavery as it was their ‘way of life’ and it was the backbone of their economical system. In the North there was a lot of grey area, as some believed it was
I was frightened; I would perspire and tremble when awoken from creepy dreams or from visualizing images in my room. Most nights sleepless, and my daylight hours becoming more challenging to mange, I had become an insomniac and struggling with meaning.
Shame is defined as a missed opportunity but the word itself holds a weight that differs in each individual’s story. Kevin Gilbert’s poem ‘Shame’ seeks to explore aspects of white Australian identity while capturing a powerful perspective that forces the disturbing question concerning the discrimination of Indigenous Australians.
In the beginning of the short story, as Brother reflects on Doodle’s life, the author uses personification and foreshadowing to create a mood of remorse. As he gazes out of the window into his backyard, Brother states that “the graveyard flowers were blooming. ...speaking softly the names of our dead” (Hurst 1). The flowers provide flashbacks of the past, and foreshadow a loss of life. The loneliness felt by Brother causes readers to consider how they would feel if their loved one was gone. As Brother observes the seasons, it is noted that “summer was dead but autumn had not yet been born” (Hurst 1). The personifications of the seasons as stages in the cycle of life and death creates an unsure and uncertain mood. The shift between seasons creates an idea of change and uncertainty of events to come. Hurst creates a mood of remorse through
As I watched each of his breaths, and the relief growing on his face, I couldn’t help but think about how the roles could have been reversed.
The Greek people had many things they were proud of for evolving as their era began to pick up steam. The things they were well known for were their religious beliefs and their philosophies. Though both were pivotal for the Greek people, these two areas were very different.
