The guard with no expression on his face denied the higher ranks of this town. The chairman begged that he be the best to his rulers. Just as the man and his wife were to lose hope the king’s voice broke through the crowd of poor folk. It was as quiet as a mouse taking the leftover cheese of a splendid feast. The king’s head popped out of the buggy and seemed at peace. “Now, guard,” he chuckled. “Let me dine with these fine people at least.”

Candles flickered on each table cloth. The flame reflected off of the polished gold tableware that had been laid out. I ran my fingers swiftly across the empty plate. I was surprised that it hadn’t left a streak. I quickly sat down gingerly bending my dress with my knees. Just as I sat, there was a (sound) signifying the new Scottish king and queen would be arriving momentarily. As we waited, plates clanked and people laughed heartily.

There was a normal morning in a kingdom called Fally. Charles was the king at the time, and he has been a king for over 15 years. He awoke from a long night's rest but something felt funny to him and he realized that something wasn't right that morning. The king realized when he looked at his son he could tell that he was worried, as he knew something bad was going to happen. He questioned him, but he kept silent. So he went on with his day and made breakfast. After, his son Philip went down to the square to get some things for the king. The king waited and waited on him to come back for his things, but he didn't return. He fell asleep waiting on him to return but he never did.

The Cockney accent is a British dialect possessing a longstanding and rich history. Famous for its use of rhyming slang and unique linguistics, the Cockney accent, and the history associated with it, is a source of pride to many living in London’s East End. The traditional definition of a cockney is one who was born within the sound of St. Mary-le-Bow Church bells, though, an accent typical of working class Londoner suffices as well (Mott 71). Despite the accent’s century-long history being tied to the working class of London’s East End, there is now a large shift in the region’s dialect. A large influx of immigration has occurred in the East End, and the result is the slow emergence of a new accent. Sociolinguistics Dr. Sue Fox refers to it as Multicultural London English, and describes the accent as one of “Jamaican, Indian-subcontinent and West-African English” (Hayes). With the emergence of the new accent, the notorious rhyming slang is disappearing, and certain traditional Cockney inflections are becoming less frequent. While the accent is not completely lost due to native speakers carrying it with them as they migrate from the East End, the research as it currently stands, suggests the accent’s future is one of continued decline.

The king died soon after, he lasted long eight to see his daughter wed, and crowned. When the news of his death was made public I was overjoyed. I did it. I was the king, with my Queen Leila by my side. But I found her to be aboard. She made the future seem bleak with her lack of porosity. But I only true need her to have an heir, and a couple other children. And to keep the children in line, why I enjoy my new power. The power that I had a dream about all those years as a homeless child. I went with nothing to the

Once, and long ago, a beautiful, kindred girl, Absinthe, lived all her days happily. But the day the men returned from war, Absinthe found no loving father to run into the arms of. She didn't think much of it. Maybe the king had returned to the palace already and wanted to surprise the awaiting princess. But searching everywhere, she found nothing of the sort. She studied all the other people, laughing, eyes twinkling with joy and relief to even be alive. Only then did the horrible unbelieving truth of it all dawn on Absinthe, the moment that changed her forever. Throat tightened, her tears threatening to be let down, Absinthe marched over resiliently to another citizen in a commanding manner, even with the pain that slowly ate away at her soul. She had to be brave, just like her father. With only three strides, she bellowed harshly to one of the soldiers, "Bow to me! I am your queen

Normally the King and Queen rule as one but if they disagree, the child born of royalty will have the final say. Each Reign can last only 50 years so my husband and I will quietly retire from this kingdom ten years from now so our daughter and her family can take over. My eldest daughter and I are more like sisters than mother and daughter. She gives me the best fashion advice and we gossip and laugh like naughty school girls hiding a secret from a nosy onlooker. I love her dearly and I can truly say she is my best friend. I ditch my husband and grab a seat next to her and grab her face tightly and kiss her lips and forehead. We hug and she starts to whisper in my ear about things that will bring a mischievous smile to my lips. When my children become men and women they are required to move out of the main kingdom and live in one of the surrounding villas that surround the kingdom, which is a small paradise all onto itself. My older children who are now adults are too busy for this journey because they all have important roles within the ruling tribes. My eldest son who is the second oldest is already helping my husband’s “right hand man” prepare for the meeting this evening. My eldest daughter and I love these trips and would put everything on hold to go. The chariot begins to leave and my sons sit near their father and point at all the sites of the common

The word choice in the first stanza, Heaney, starts off by giving a sense of isolation. He says, “I sat all morning in the college sick bay” (l. 1). This instantly strains away any positive thoughts that one might have had from simply reading the title. Starting off a mid-term break in the sick bay doesn’t exactly give the best start to the vacation. Also in this line of the first stanza you can see that Heaney had a since of isolation in the morning before he went home for, what seems to be, a less than spectacular mid-term break.
