through his birth, description of the setting and description of Grenouille’s characteristics. Grenouille was born in the malodorous fish market of Paris in the “18th century”, where the 18th century was a period of tragedy and chaos where foul smells were everywhere. Moreover, Grenouille being born in a “fish market” indicates the evil and unnatural nature of Grenouille as he is born in the worst smelling, filthiest and unnatural place in Paris. Even more, being born in a fish market in a “pile

unbearable that I actually believe that my brethren are crawling out of the scars on my leg and coming back to life. It’s morning. It seems almost impossible to get out of my warm, cozy confortable bed on this seemingly normal morning. But the warm smell of hot cocoa in the air awakens me filling with happiness and joy. All of my childhood memories of my mom’s delicious hot cocoa. It is almost like I’m in one of those human children cartoons,

To speak two different languages is such a powerful trait to have. One of my best friends is bilingual and she amazes me. Her name is Evelyn and I met her four years ago. I was eleven when we first met and she was ten. She lives in Montevideo, Uruguay. I made the long and dreadful trip back there when I was thirteen. It was like a big happy family reunion. I went back again just a month ago, this time being fifteen years old. In an odd way, it feels like we have grown up together. Getting to visit

Jack and Summer many times. Sometimes They beat me, but most of the time I beat them. Other schools started to come in, it was like a herd of deer entering the field. I could hear loud noises from every direction. It smelled like food and grass, the smell that the food stands had was mouth watery. Even though everybody started arriving, we had the best seat in the house. I kept on wondering though, when will we be able to start the Corn Maze? An announcer started introducing schools. When he said,

Bertrand Russell starts off his book, “The Problems of Philosophy”, with a single question; “Is there any knowledge in the world which is so certain that no reasonable man could doubt it?” This is the question that Russell attempts to answers in his book. However, before he could come to a definite conclusion, Russell had to ask himself a few more questions. Two of those questions being, what is the distinction between appearance and reality, and what is sense data and sensation. By understanding

I was helping a family member move into her new home, it was a fixer upper. One of those “Cheap” houses that you end up paying more money to fix it than the house is worth. My elderly mother bought the house as she was no longer able to climb the stairs to her bedroom. Due to her crippling age I felt as I was obligued to help her. My guilty conscience would have driven me mad if I hadn’t of helped her. It was getting dark out so when I got the call from her asking for help I hurried over as I

more golden time in Afghanistan and the Soviet occupation. We waited for about three hours in the blazing sun for our chain command to inform us what the next step would be. The whole of Kandahar Airfield and the rest of the installation smells horrendous. The smell hits you like a freight train. This installation was built around the terminal; its stench are all relics of the Soviet occupation forces during the 1980’s. The Soviets thought it was a good idea to construct and maintain an open cesspit

get something to eat and use the rest. When I walk past Subway and Pizza Hut the smell was so amazing, the smell of both places where so good, I didn’t know which one to pick. I ended up getting Pizza Hut because seeing all the cheese melts in your mouth when you take a bit. We back on the road, we get to the city were the hotel was. We get a parking spot, and we head into the hotel. When you walk into the hotel it smells like you are at factory making good smelling cleaning supplies. My mom and Nana

RaVa I have been known by countless names throughout my time on earth. Humans have labeled me as death, the Grim Reaper, Satan and so on. They only choose to view me as the one who has slain them. However, I am also the one who has given them life yet, no one remembers me as Mother Nature. I am best described in Chinese culture: something called Yin and Yang I believe. This is explained as being a balance of what humans have labeled “righteous” and “wicked”. I am more ambiguous than that, nonetheless

“What is that horrid smell”? I had just landed in San Jose, Costa Rica with my church group, and before we could admire the beauties of this new place, we were greeted with the most pungent stench of our lives. It was day one of a two week mission trip, and we were already nose deep in one of the most poverty stricken areas in Central America. For the vast majority of the group, it was the first time getting to experience a new country in an authentic way; living among some of the least wealthy
