Centipede

For the past ten years, Repticon Reptile and Exotic Animal Conventions have toured America, traveling to cities displaying a wide gamut of exotic pets with hopes of informing potential owners about the benefits of owning one (Repticon). Because I have never obtained an affinity for exotic animals, I was confident Repticon would ensure my uneasiness and feelings of being an outsider. As I approached the front door, I was greeted by a gigantic, inflatable snake that welcomed eager attendees, much

Narrative Style and Structure of James and the Giant Peach       The books that Roald Dahl has written have very interesting narrative styles. In the story James and the Giant Peach, Dahl uses vivid imagination. He uses many imaginary situations but yet at the same time encompasses enough realistic situations that the reader can still relate to it. In James and the Giant Peach, it starts out introducing a boy named James Henry Trotter who lives with his loving mother and father. The narrator

half-finished green tea and watch a documentary in the “upstairs” portion (separated by three steps) to forget my worries until the next night. Close to drinking the honey and tea mixture, I see an abnormal shape at the bottom of my mug – a house centipede that was enticed by the sweet honey but unfortunately was unable to escape its viscous grasp and drowned in my lukewarm tea. I didn’t scream, I didn’t cry; all I was capable of thinking

Imagine being in a dark room with one barely lit lightbulb swinging back and forth. The moist air is chilling your arms and causing slight goosebumps to crawl up your sleeve. The paranoia of someone watching your every moment or a centipede creeping on your arm. The constant fear of going to sleep because of sleep paralysis. The only door in that dark, lifeless room is locked and kept away from you escaping. The light that peeks out of the crevices in the door slowly taunting you. Forcing you to

only a small swinging ceiling light is above you. There is barely any light shining out and you hear noises in the dark. A growl here or a skittering over there, the ground is cold and made of concrete. You feel something touch your leg to see a centipede run across your foot only to see it grabbed by a hand from the dark and as you slowly back up you run into a wall and the light gets dimmer, but as you go back towards the light it goes back to normal lighting. Then the lights turn on and you find

I like to find crickets and centipedes so I eat them afterwards. Now that I’ve contracted your attention, I’d like to say that although I am very passionate about cheerleading, I want to major in biology, psychology, and chemistry. Personally, I haven’t had the finest experiences with science classes throughout my years at Sherman Oaks Center for Enriched studies. Though I did manage to pass my classes, my foundation for science isn’t quite at the level that I want it to be. My dream is to become

The modern history of Langhorne can be traced to a house built by Jack Alexander during the 1600s. However, the area was sparsely populated until the first quarter of the 18th century. As traffic on the road between Philadelphia and Trenton increased, the community that would become Langhorne became a transportation hub for the stagecoach line. Originally, the community was known as Four Lanes End before its name was changed to Attleborough. When the village was incorporated in 1876, the name was

an extinct genus of arthropods that are the ancestors of modern-day arachnids, like spiders and ticks. Arthropods are a phylum of invertebrate animals with segmented bodies, jointed appendages, and exoskeletons; insects, crustaceans, arachnids, centipedes, and millipedes. However, eurypterids are the largest arthropods to have ever existed. Their remains have been discovered across the

Connotation 1. Imagery- “ Her Brain, all those coils and thoughts shuttling through those coils like fast, frantic centipedes.”(3) This is how Nick Dunne describes his wife’s mind. 2. Imagery- “the awakening was mechanical. A spooky ventriloquist dummy click of the lids.”(3) This is imagery, because it is a comparison. Between a physically movement of a character, and an inanimate object. 3. Personification- “The sun was still an angry eye in the sky.”(9) Nonliving things cannot be emotional, but
