Papa Tom Research Paper

It all started the day I died. I think I should formally introduce myself, My name was Craig Crow and I lived in Alabama on a corn farm with my wife and two beautiful twin sons. We lived in a house with 3 bedrooms and a very small crawl space in the attic. The barn was old with bright red paint and big white sliding doors, we owned 2 horses, one for me and one for my son. The only way for us to get into town was a small green beaten up pickup truck that had been passed down for generations. The house had been passed down just like the truck had been and my whole family is buried here, including my wife and I.

We stumbled upon a huge rock with steps leading up it; my dad helped me up it because I was afraid. I was shaking every step climbing it, further up it got even more frightening because of the edge. Being careful I got up it, but then realizing heading down was the worst part. My dad wanted to take a picture of us while my dad went back down. We all sat down and smiled as my father took the picture, then said if we could hear him, we could but quietly. Coming back down I was relieved, when we started moving again, we found an old creaking cabin, that echoes inside. We found a nice spot to take a break, and talked to each other while eating snacks that my dad brought. when we finished eating we traveled even closer to The General Sherman tree. Distracted, me and my family hadn't noticed we accidentally past it; I turned around and looked up at The General Sherman Tree; it was like a huge ginger root and the branches spread far out. I wondered how old it could be. This was a trip to be remembered but sadly had to end because it was getting late. We headed back down a path to the entrance where the bus would

In Eagle River, Wisconsin June of 2006 my parents and I made the 30 minute drive from my brothers camp, Kawaga, to mine, Chippewa. I was seven years old sitting in the back seat of this car thinking about how my brother, Max, loves his camp so I would too. However, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. We arrived and my parents stopped the car to take a picture of me in front of the big red rustic sign “Chippewa Ranch Camp” it said. As we drove down the long dirt driveway it finally hit me that I was about to get out of this car and not see my parents for an entire month. I couldn’t even spend the night out I would call them to pick me up at midnight from my friends homes, how in the world was I going to survive four whole weeks of

Tom is a person that came from a wealthy family and he had a great childhood. When he got older he was also a very successful man. As he was described in The Great Gatsby “Now he was a sturdy, straw haired man of thirty with a rather hard mouth and a supercilious manner. Two shining, arrogant eyes had established dominance over his face and gave him the appearance of always leaning aggressively forward. Not even the effeminate swank of his riding clothes could hide the enormous power of that body—he seemed to fill those glistening boots until he strained the top lacing and you could see a great pack of muscle shifting when his shoulder moved under his thin coat. It was a body capable of enormous leverage—a cruel body. “(1.19) You would think since he was on the very top on the economic side and had great things in his life, he would have had a perfect life and everything

Through out my child hood I was referred to as “that girl boy” or a tom-boy. I thought I was just another little boy but it turned out I wasn't. I never knew what was wrong with me until I started to get older and learned terms to identify a person's sexuality and gender.

It was back sometime in the summer of 2004 when my life would be uprooted and changed. The day we left, my dad sat me in his bedroom and said he would always be my dad, and that he loved me. My mom had packed all our things in her little white Nissan that worked only half the time, and we made the trek to our new home. The ride was long, and my brother being only three years old was not too happy about that. When we got to the house, the shudders were black and the drive-way was unpaved. In the front yard stood a man I had never seen before. His beer gut was small but obvious enough, what little hair he had left poked out of his trucker hat. His face had

The late forties and early fifties was a time of great austerity in Britain. After the Second World War, the tailors of Savile Row began experimenting to renew the styles of the Dandies. In 1950, Britain experienced a consumer boom, and the young generation emerged as a distinctive social group, known as the Teddy Boys and Girls. The Teddy Boys have now been in existence as a coherent subculture for sixty years, and there is a growing interest in alternative lifestyles among today’s younger generation who are looking for an alternative to an endlessly repeating, worldwide monoculture.

The old gentleman would appear at the most unexpected times, yet months would go by, and I could have completely forgotten him and grown up never to see him again except from the cove of childhood memories we for some reason never forget. Nevertheless, there he was; coming out of a back alley as I turned a corner; or crossing a street as I approached from the other side. Once old timer even came into the grassless yard of our shotgun double as I was sitting on the rotten wooden steps waiting for my brother and sisters to return from school, I wasn't old enough yet to attend. This was my station, to sit there and keep an eye on my stroke burden grandfather as he rocked and mumbled his thoughts to no one present. He stepped half way up the walk, and stood there, looking at me and I back at him more out of curiosity then fear. Eventually he reached out his hand as if to make a request or ask a question of me, then as if remembering, lowered his head and turned and walked away. One day I was standing in an abandoned field behind our house. We kids would meet their and think of games to play; mostly kick the ball. I was there tossing the ball up in the air, waiting for the other kids to show up, when I see him coming down the

During post-war Europe, in Britain one of the first youth subculture the “Teddy Boys” and the forgotten “Teddy Girls” emerged around the 1950s. This subculture soon spread throughout the United Kingdom and became largely associated with the American Rock n’ Roll genre of music. As the subculture began to spread, they began to be seen as a rebellious British youth subculture. By then the Teddy Girls by were overshadowed by the Teddy Boys since there were more of the boys than the girls. Not only that, they were deemed boring by the media because their role at the time were still focused at home.

When we were together we were invincible, us against the world. I’d look up to him, not only because he was 6’4, but because he was my grandpa. I have clear memories of him picking me up from school, playing old school reggae music during our adventurous car rides. We’d always sing along to our favorites, sometimes turn the music up so loud the people in the cars next to us could hear it. When I would visit his apartment, the familiar smell of drywall and pennies would fill the air. It was my hideaway, my home away from home. My grandpa collected pennies in water jugs. He would say that one day they’d be worth more than just pennies. I loved it there, not only because he had a freezer filled with many flavors of ice cream to which he would often say to me “you can have all you can eat” but because it was our time to bond. For five years it was my mom, my dad, and my grandpa helping me to grow. Those are my favorite people, my role models. Being around my grandpa brought me such comfort and joy.
