    Roger Rosenblatt developed an article to publish in the Time Magazine titled, "The Man in the Water." After flight ninety, which carried seventy-four individuals, dove into the Fourteenth Street bridge in Washington DC, there was one person whose heroic act stood out from the rest. As he and five other survivors clung on to the wing of the plane, instead of saving himself, this anonymous man, with an extravagant mustache, aided the others. Every time the lifeline came down, he would pass it over

    the exception of some, and this line strongly portrays that. It made me question whether the author realized that when he was a young man, and how it made him feel. The last couple of stanzas in this poem were again full of emotion, imagery and a sense of disappointment. Hoagland talks again about how the inside of a young man’s body could be described as a tractor, “revving their engines, chewing up the turf.” I think there’s a lot of frustration behind this line, because the idea of a tractor

    Thomas Gainsborough presents a fabulous portrait of Grace Dalrymple Elliott. This is a full-length painting believed to be commissioned by her lover, Earl of Cholomondeley in 1777 (Major, 2016).

Beside me my brothers sit and eat their own hotdogs, the seats across the aisle remain empty much like most of the airport.
