The Dresser

The Home Beneath the House There’s just something about home that is so comforting and innocent. Maybe it’s the great oak tree in the backyard that you used to swing on when you were young. Or maybe it’s the kitchen where memories were made while making a homemade pizza with the whole family. Regardless, it doesn’t matter what it was it’s just something we all could call home. When I reflect on home, I see the giant pine trees lining up alongside the vacant gravel road. As I pull into my long gravel

There were clothes covering the floor, along with many other receipts, plastic wrappers and many other pieces of garbage. The was a dark oak dresser, on top sat an old 15” tv playing Ice Age. I was a little scared and confused but i was overall distracted to the film playing on the old scratched up screen. My brother, james, was in a deep sleep, drenched in his own sweat, so i decided i would

Art is a form of expression that I could never abandon in my life. I became an artist at a young age, and I can still remember the day art came into my life like angel sent straight from God. It was my first time watching my Pops draw a portrait. It was around noon on Saturday in the summer because the ‘noon’ heat was almost unearthly. However the vibe in our small two bedroom apartment was absolutely groovy and cool. Pops was playing the oldies from the 70’s. “ Sweet love, my sweet love you'll be

Dopey did not know what was happening,never had he ever been able to physically move.Eerie of the feeling Dopey proceeded to get down off of the desk and walk around the cold wooden floor he

“Wound Dresser” During the 19th Century, there was considerable controversy over the expansion of slavery and women’s rights. The United States was about to engage in one of the most deadly wars on its soil; with the total number of deaths in the Civil War was 624,571 (Toledo-Pereyra). In 1860, a Republican against the expansion of slavery, Abraham Lincoln, was elected the 16th President of the United States. Walt Whitman, a poet from New York, became passionate about the welfare of the soldiers

it’s like, writer Louisa Alcott shows us how it was like to be a nurse during the Civil War. She gave us her own experience. I believe it would have been the hardest job to have. In her story, she describes her position as a night nurse, “The Wound-Dresser”. She gives details of what qualities one would need to become a great nurse. She didn’t show signs of emotion or doubt but looked out the hospital windows for peace of mind. I believe that to become a great nurse like Alcott, you would need some

In Walt Whitman’s poem “The Wound-Dresser,” inspired by real events he witnessed as a volunteer during the Civil War, he writes of an old man, who when asked by children to tell them glorious tales of the war, he instead tells of the aftermath of war. The old man, an obvious character insert of Whitman himself, has no story for the children other than the suffering he witnessed as he tended to the wounded soldiers who came from the battles the children would rather hear about.
