Bravo rd were rapidly, swaying back and forth, and it was 6:00 AM and Rex Akers is up way too early for a Sunday. All of Bravo rd is silent.
Rex goes outside to wake up Charlie Askren, which is his best friend, so they can go down to the basketball courts. But on their way back from the courts they see Lewey Thomas and Eddie Hammond the biggest baddest bullies at Waipahu High School Eddie literally has a parole officer. They try to sneak past them but that's when Lewey yells out, “Hey chumps!” At that moment Charlie and Rex started hightailing

“BANG!” So he sprints outside and see’s a offtrack missile coming his way and nails the blacktop of Bravo rd and Rex hits the ground hard. Rex was out for a while until about twenty minutes later he wakes up and see’s burning trees and houses also out of the corner of his eye troops of Japanese soldiers parachuting out of a plane. He feels as if someone is banging the back of his head with a metal chair, and there is a cut in his arm as long as a ruler, as he watches the bright orange and yellow fire dancing in the thick smoke. Once he sees all of the blood drenching his bright neon shirt and arm he wants to pass out, until he turns around and sees a helmetless Japanese soldier with a glock 9 in his hand at point blank range. But then Eddie came up from behind and nailed him in the back of the head with a huge chunk of blacktop. Eddie said, “Hey you’d better get up chump before you get yourself killed… like Lewey.” Rex cry’s, “Where is Charlie?!?”
“I don’t know.” Eddie screams.
And then they hear a muffled voice “Help!”
They start searching through all of the rocks and bricks and chunks of building when another old man helps them and finds him, with a scarred up face and barely talking.

Rex replies as he wipes sweat and blood from his dirty face “I know, he’s our friend

    Robert Gray’s ‘Journey: the north coast” depicts the idea that rediscovering something that has been concealed can be intensely meaningful towards an individual. This is evident throughout the train journey of the persona, through the use of metaphor in “ One of those bright crockery days”. The use of metaphor is used to represent the aspect of rediscovery as the persona is reminded of his past domestic life when looking out the train window. In addition, there is a comforting freshness and purity in the metaphor describing the morning as it evokes fond memories from the past while the persona returns imaginatively to his formative years on the North coast. The effect of the metaphor is to make the reader connect with the persona during his…

    After viewing The Poseidon Adventure (1972) it’s interesting to examine the film and it’s intertextuality. For example at the time of the film’s release it was hot off the heels of the decades first big disaster film hit Airport (1970). That film was a massive box office success and was nominated for many academy awards including best picture. Making another disaster movie after Airport makes perfect sense since both films were based off popular novels and boasted a massive star studded cast. Obviously this string of disaster movies were important to the film industry at the time, since they brought in audiences and were considered critical successes.…
