Frost Tree At My Window Essay

think my first memory of the all power Moses was from when I was fifteen. I was laying on my stomach in my cabin, listing to the sound of what I recognized to be a barn owl. I then heard two other slaves walk past my permanently open window. “Listen for the whippoorwill. That’s when you’ll know Moses had arrived.” “Okay, tonight, right?” “Yes, tonight.” The two men continued to speak in their hushed tones, but I could not hear them after about ten seconds because they had already passed my window

Amalia took a deep breath. And opened her eyes. I'm here again. A gentle, wind began to flit through her hair. It slowly morphed to water. How peculiar. Then it was wind. Then water. The gaps between the water sped up until there was no air. She was drowning. She tried to breath, but water was the only thing there. She clawed at the water around her, trying to swim, trying to get out, trying to breathe. Her vision blurred, her heart felt like lead in her chest, her fingers went numb. She needed to

If you were to combine family, friends and food, there are endless possibilities that might come to mind.  This to me is the ultimate meal, this is my Thanksgiving.  With two freshly shot turkeys laying in front of you in the line of county potatoes, fresh garden squash, and any other garden vegetables that may come into your head.  Topped off with a steaming pot of gravy at the end of the buffet.  Where could you go wrong with this meal?  However, to me the actual eating of the food isn't even the

hostile winter. A thin layer of frost coats the ground, snow begins to fall, and animals all around begin to hibernate. A chill settles over the world, and all seems still except for the occasional crunch of a predator’s foot in the snow. In winter, death is common. Just as it is impossible to pause earth’s clock, it is impossible to stop

bodies after war. Windows wiped down of memories huddled between oak frames, facing a street with cosy cottages. Single embroidered carpets hugged the floor, covering the marble tiles in delicate silk. A whisper of wind floated in through cracks of the panes of glass, whispering it's songs of misery throughout the house. I breathed in gulps of air, allowing the icy coolness to fill my lungs, and the morning frost creep out. My glistening blue eyes presented purple bags, and my sleek hair was a tangled

“I won’t allow Gordok to destroy everything that’s worth living for. I would rather have my eyes plucked out than see him triumph.” “Oh, dear.” Matilda mashed her scaly claws together. “Doomsday and destruction . . . how soon?” I told her about our travels, Gordok’s attempts on my life, and our madcap quest to find the centaurs and read their minds. “But this idea of yours,” Matilda quivered, creating a landslide of jiggling red dragon

Well, I think it’s gonna feel good.” Frank tapped a couple of fingers by the side of his temple. “Clear my head a bit.” “Drive carefully. The roads may be slick.” “You bet.” With a goodbye wave, Frank Kinney pushed his way through the revolving glass door and felt the first blast of cold press against his hot flushed face. He reached into his pocket to

Study Guide for Emerson’s “Nature” Jill O’Leary “Standing on the bare ground, ---my head bathed by the blithe air, and uplifted into infinite space, ---all mean egotism vanishes. I become a transparent eyeball. I am nothing. I see all.” My view: when everything is gone you will see the world for what it truly is Ralph Waldo Emerson, (1803-1882), one of America 's most influential authors and thinkers. A Unitarian minister, he left his only pastorate, Boston 's Old North Church (1829-32),

Alex’s face shimmered in the mirror. She concentrated, narrowing her blue eyes on the reflection only to close them with a sigh when nothing happened. Snatching the stuffed dolphin off her dresser, she whipped it across the room, where it landed with a defeated squeak. Fifteen years. Fifteen years of being a freak, a nobody, that person who was a halfie. Half of herself. Other people, normal humans, could turn. Her dad was a dolphin, her friend was a robin, and she, well she was just Alex. Just
