Crêpe

Fresh out of college I moved to Steuben, Maine, right along the coast of Gouldsboro Bay. My dream as a kid was always to move to Maine; the farthest place from America without actually leaving America. I planned on working at my quiet accounting job for 30 years and retiring worry free, alone, happy. But, you changed everything. I remember it clearly. I had left my quaint little house to the coffee shop down the road. Being the only coffee shop for miles, it provided coffee for just about everyone

The motel down south was such a rat hole, I couldn't wait to get out of there. Does this place even have anything edible? I'm in some serious need of a latte and a crepe." Once again, Wade cleared his throat. "Oh, I'm sorry. Mother, this is Wade. Wade meet my mother, Helen." Wade stood up and pulled a chair out for her before extending his hand out. Ignoring it, Helen took a napkin and made a show of brushing off

A Trip to Arizona and Nevada It was april vacation of 2016 and my parents had told me we were going to Arizona and Las Vegas. I was extremely excited, not knowing what the city of Vegas was like or how beautiful Arizona was. We left the day april vacation started and flew into Arizona, and then would spend the next three days visiting the attractions around Phoenix and Sedona. Seeing the Grand Canyon was amazing, even though it started to snow while we were up there and we were all freezing, it

her surplus flesh sensuously as some women can. Her face, above a spotted dress of dark blue crêpe-de-chine, contained no facet or gleam of beauty, but there was an immediately perceptible vitality about her as if the nerves of her body were continually smoldering” (Fitzgerald 25). Myrtle is way less beautiful compared to the trophy wife, Daisy. We meet her at an old gas station, yet she has a dark blue crêpe-de-chine dress, something that was for the upper class at that time. We can infer that she

Joan Didion, author of “On Keeping a Notebook”, writes about the purpose of keeping a notebook. Didion suggests that writing your thoughts in a notebook allows people to remember the past and live in the present; while being able to take time for yourself. She mentions the constant use of keeping her notebook by her side as a way to allow to express herself freely. As she says, “But our notebooks give us away, for however dutifully we record what we see around us, the common denominator of all we

It is Medieval Times; the period of when the Feudal System subsisted among Europe. The feudal system- already weakened by knights rapidly dying in war- soon met its end, crashing into the ground and opening the way to the time of the Renaissance. A picture painted by Quinten Massy, An Old Woman, best exemplifies the image that the peasants of Medieval Europe had of the Feudal System and Church. An unprepossessing -some would say hideous- old woman is portrayed in traditional Medieval clothing with

The whistle sounded behind me as I retraced my steps from the train station to Whitman College, lost in memories of a magical weekend. For two days, my younger sister, Angelina, had stayed with me on campus. That weekend, there was no such thing as homework—the only item on my agenda was to have fun with my best friend. Together, we explored the Delaware & Raritan Towpath, laughing as turtles periodically popped their heads out of the canal. We toured the University Chapel, mesmerized by the colored

cut off the telephone, Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone, Silence the pianos and with muffled drum Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come. Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead, Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves, Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves. He was my North, my South, my East and West, My working week and my Sunday rest, My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song; I thought that love would

When asked about Disney the overwhelming majority will have happy thoughts associated with Disney. However, my research into Euro Disney radically changes my opinion on such a glamourous franchise. This is coming from one of the biggest Disney advocates in the world, Euro Disney is an embarrassment to the Disney name as well as the brand. The disrespectful manner Disney went about creating a new world in a foreign nation lead directly to its looming demise. Disney world has invented an immensely
