It was technically the third week of fall, but that didn’t matter. It was always hot on the earth. After most left the earth in those flying rocks, nothing had been the same. The earth had become hotter. The surface went from flourishing to desolate with the push of a button.They scavenged for food the best they could, but they knew the earth couldn’t support them for long. It had been a hundred years, and the earth wasn’t getting better. She knew. This world was gone, dead. Everyone pretended that somehow they would all be ok, but she knew.They would die soon. They had hope. She didn’t know what true hope felt like. She wish she could have hope but it was impossible.
It was a normal day they were searching the barren wasteland for maybe a

Lindsey dragged on at the back of the pack dragging the unconscious boy. As they got back to their base. Many gave her stares for bringing back the boy.She brought him to the hospital ward which was a small room with two beds for the injured.Luckily enough for her only one was taken.As she flopped him on the bed she was greeted by the nurse
“How are you dear?”Asked the nurse in a quite loud voice.
“I’m ok i guess.”
“What do we have here?” she asked looking down at the boy.The sheets were already starting to get red from the blood.
“I found him out in the sands.”
“Well let's see if we can clean him up then.” They quickly went to work. His back had scars all along it. You would have thought he got them from the rocks, but it hadn’t been long enough. Nobody normal scarred in an hour. They changed his sheets,cleaned the blood off his back, and got him into another bed so the one they had used could be used on other injured. She watched the boy, he had very light skin. If he had been in the sun he would be blindingly white.She chuckled a bit at the thought. She slowly remembered the look her father had given her when he saw the boy. It was new. Disappointment. It was a mix of disgust and anger.But, also sadness. She had always been just what her father wanted. Just what their little underground town needed. She had never seen it before.And she hated it. She wished she could go back and just leave the boy. She
Having knocked at door of the youth’s room, the girl was waiting for a response for quite a long time and eventually it sounded, when Timothy opened the door slowly, standing with a towel wrapped around his waist, and was mopping his wet head with another towel. His hair was still not dry after a shower, and he looked awesome. The young man’s belly was flat and muscled and Veronica noticed a scar which apparently remained after the rally just below his
La Chute translated The Fall, was published in 1956 by Albert Camus '. The Fall is Camus’ last completed novel according to the Nobel Prize in Literature. The Fall can be seen as complex. At times, interpreting and analyzing can be difficult to some when attempting to understand the novel. However, according to Referential Anxiety in Contemporary French Fiction by David R. Ellison, there is no right or wrong way to interpret The Fall because Camus never had the chance to explain it himself. David R. Ellison argues that "It seems as if no real progress has been made in deciphering the text’s central enigmas" due to this. For the reader, this is good or bad news. The bad news is that no one can tell you with any real authority exactly how to
“What?” he barked as he finally turned towards her. As he loomed over her, standing at the foot of their bed, buried in his cellphone, she got her first good look at him for the day. She took in his ragged demeanor; his dirty worn out clothes too large for his scrawny frame. Through a tear in his pants she could see a cut on his leg, no doubt attained by begging on the streets of St. Louis. She never saw him do it anymore but there was no doubt in her mind that he had kept that habit, among others. His disheveled black hair was covered by a grimy nondescript
“Hey, you’ve come to visit your old man!” he’d called as my brother and I approached the gate. “You came all the way from Scotland? For a holiday?” He grabbed for support that wasn’t there as he stood up with difficulty from a chair on the porch, colourless, tortured and washed out. I’d been warned it was bad, but I hadn’t expected this.
Autumn is exemplified metaphorically as one who conspires with the sun, labors the land’s crops, and a talented musician. It personifies premature autumn when all naturalistic beings have ultimately reached maturity and face the inevitable life cycle of conception, birth, maturity, and death. It achieves this through its use of imagery, and figurative language such as personification. The overarching theme exemplifies autumn as an ambiguous abstract that is conducive to connoting several meanings in literature. It can be seen as maturity and wisdom. It can be seen as elderly age, but before morbidity and fatality, the harvest of a lifetime of learning and the imminent conclusion of existence.
Legends of the Fall is an excellent story of brotherhood, loss, and life. Originally Legends of the Fall was a story written by Jim Harrison, but later was adapted into a film. The story tells of three brothers named: Alfred, Tristan, and Samuel, who lived their lives on a plantation in Montana and then decided to go to war once the youngest brother was of age. Samuel, the youngest brother seemed to be favored by the family; and the older brothers only want to go to war to protect him. Eventually tragedy strikes and young Samuel is killed by machine guns due to his blindness from mustard gas. Tristan (the middle brother) took Samuel’s death especially hard and many other characters thought he had become completely mad. Once Tristan and
Going into the fall 2014 semester, my family was not in a good place financially, and I was not mentally. Our income had been reduced, meaning I had to step up to help my family. This caused my already weakened mental state to become even more strained and took a toll on me physically. I was not able to concentrate on anything at school, work, and home, it was almost in a blur. When I resigned from the fall 2014 semester, I knew it was something that was needed to make sure I stayed healthy, mentally and physically. Two years went by and I found myself in a better place. Going into the fall 2016 semester, I found the perfect balance between studying, work, and home life. In the end I exceeded all the expectations I had set for myself in every
Today, the weather was very humid and warm outside for mid-October. It was a comfortable temperature outside, so I decided to take my fall jacket off because I did not want to be too hot as I was walking around the market. I’m estimating that it was approximately mid to low 20’s in temperature today, so whenever a breeze arose, it was refreshing because it was pretty warm outside. I decided that today I would take a walk through the dessert sections of the market before going to sit by the outdoor firepit. There were many vendors selling fudge and pastries, so this was something I purchased because I was heading home that afternoon and I thought my family would enjoy these treats. The firepit was not turned on today because it was fairly warm outside, but I still decided to sit in one of the Adirondack chairs surrounding the firepit to take in everything that was happening around me. It was very busy at the market around this time because it was the weekend, and everybody was taking the opportunity to spend time with their families outside on the warm fall day. I also noticed an older man performing a compilation of folk songs on the guitar, and a small group of people huddled around the area listening to him perform. I started to become restless after sitting in the chair for about ten minutes, so I decided to continue walking to one of the buildings at the farmer’s market. Throughout my childhood, my parents would usually take me and my sisters to St. Jacobs Farmers’
Joy looks around her and you can tell she doesn’t want to be there. But still nods at him.
Living year round in a seasonal, tourist town has its perks. And its pains. It’s starting to get Cliff pissed off.
Misty dew covers the entire surface of the field. The yellowing corn stalks stand erect and proud until my grandpas tractor comes to end their growth. Autumn slowly weaves its way in and leaves a stain of brilliant color in its wake. Not everyone enjoys such colors, but when you take a second to step outside your doorstep, and look at all the wonders that surround you, you’d be surprised at how marvelous the world can truly be. To me, Autumn is a time for relishing in the colors. Soaking in the oranges and reds while sitting by a warm fire. It’s a time for remembering that everything does end, but it does not have to end in the dreadful way we think it will. Autumn is a time for the closeness of others to keep out the chill of the morning and the starry-eyed darkness of the night.
Looking around the yard she had filled with garden gnomes she fought back both laughter and screams. Her gaze settled on Minnijon and she almost cried. Conner had given her Minnijon shortly after they were first married and he saw how passionate she was about gardening. Minnijon had always been one of her favorites because of the pipe he held while casually lying down; what with his maroon shirt, dark pants and bright red hat. That pointed hat! She remembered the way she had giggled when Conner cut himself picking Minnijon up. He had cursed loudly causing a few heads to turn, saying the damn thing had bit him. The cut wasn’t bad but it had bled for a short time and no matter how much she had tried to stifle her giggles she just couldn’t. Conner had not been impressed and yet purchased him for her.
She had arrived to school and looked a little pale and shaky. This was an indication that something was up, but she kept yelling,“ I am fine!”

“Found him sleeping in the bathroom. I think he is sick.” Liam sighed. Harry took a sip of his tea and looked up at the boy snuggled up in Liam's arms. Liam laid the boy down on the sofa and placed his hand on his forehead. “He is warm. You should take him to Ed. He was vomiting blood.”
