The Thing

Annoying Things What is an annoying thing? An annoying thing is any person, place, thing, or idea that is infuriating, irritating, or bothersome. Some things are minor annoyances, while other things, like pet peeves, make you want to pull your hair out and run down the street screaming in agony. Some of these, to name a few, could be bad actors, red lights when no other car is in sight, and people who don’t pay attention. The three annoyances discussed in this paper are commercials,

The things they carried,by Tim O'brien      "Oh man, you fuckin' trashed the fucker. You scrambled his sorry self, look at that, you did, you laid him out like fuckin' Shredded Wheat." I chose to start off my essay with this particular exert from the book because I think that it very much represents the story in itself.

It is composed in rhyming couplets. The lyric tells about how nature and its ponder hypnotize us and take away all the distress that encompasses us occasionally.

It’s as if we’re programmed to only care for things that take a huge part in life, but the little occasions also matter. I’m extremely thankful for my family; who knows where I would be without them. Although sometimes I take them for granted and wish for better

When I think about the hardest thing I had to do is without a doubt facing the fact that my little brother Sebastian, passed away. He was so young and had so much going for him a lot more than what I was doing. He was ranked in the state for football being one of the best quarterbacks in Florida. He was a Division one athlete. I would sit in my room where it would be pitch black and freezing cold with my mind scattered all over the place, I wanted to give up. I would go on his Instagram just to

Three things that describe me is Smart, determined, and a overachiever. There are many other things that make me the person I am. I feel that there is no such thing as weird and the word normal is overrated. Everyone feels that they are normal, but to some that person’s normal may be strange. I love reading huge books that may take other people weeks to read, singing, and having things organized in a certain way.

Intangibility used to be a focus of mine. I lived for the things that were fleeting and impossible to categorize. I was free of the constraints of anything and everything, from language to thought.

Necessity in The Things They Carried Necessity is a rather slippery concept in terms of definition. The notion of what an individual requires for his or her survival varies with the particular situation at any given time. These needs may intensify or become distorted as one finds himself in an increasingly dangerous situation, particularly a life-and-death one such as war. Such dire circumstances may provoke in an average person feelings of extreme vulnerability, and the desire to hold on
