Doomsday The sky was on fire, burning Charlotte’s smooth skin as she walked with her parents down the busy Boston streets. The roaring engines of the cars came to a screeching halt at the traffic light
Charlotte’s head turned swiftly as her eyes fixed themselves on a group of men dressed from head to toe in black. Charlotte couldn’t help but stare. The man in the back stopped walking, and his glassy eyes met hers.
“Mom do you see those men?” Charlotte curiously asked. Her mother glanced up and shook her head.
“Where?” Her Mother replied in her usual raspy voice.
Before Charlotte could point them out she blinked and they were gone. Something about their eyes set an unusual feeling in her stomach. Charlotte was jolted out of her thoughts by the screaming police sirens. Suddenly the Earth shook as one of the men dressed from head to toe in black released a bomb causing the people of Boston to scream. Panic stirred in the air as chaos struck. Explosion after explosion, the buildings soon started to crumble, setting the world ablaze.

Charlotte’s eyes watered and soon found herself collapsed on the ground. The men dressed in black walked past Charlotte and she caught a glimpse of those eerie white eyes that flashed darkly. Shortly after the world turned to black. Charlotte awoke and studied the world around her the sky was red, but the sun still glimmered through the dark black clouds.

    Evicted, a New York Times Bestseller book written by Matthew Desmond, captured many faces of a culturally diverse population. Many parallel stories were narrated, yet each was unique and contained tremendous consequences as well as the depth of its kind. The beauty in Desmond’s writing was signified by his audacious remark, with words and sentences that provoked one’s deepest feelings. These allowed the author to develop a stronger connection with the readers as they progressed and psychologically experienced the multistage of sensations: from being awfully rejected to being openly loved, or from being wrongfully evicted to being warmly welcomed into a house. Multiple characters with distinct and rich background stories created a colorful book…

    There are many people you could blame for the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, but one might also say the two households are responsible for the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. An example of how the capulets play a part in this is when lady capulet says “Marry that ‘marry’ is the very theme I came to talk of. Tell me, daughter Juliet, how stands your disposition to get married”(Line fourteen, Act one Scene three, and Document B), the person one would blame in this quote would be the families(Capulet). This shows Lady Capulet is trying to pressure Juliet into getting married. Even after juliet says that she does not want to get married, her mother keeps pushing her into getting married by asking if she can “like of Paris’ love”( Line twenty four, Act…

Bierce utilized his talents as a writer after the war to share the horrors that he witnessed and experienced with the public. Young men are killed, maimed and mangled. Families are torn apart and bystanders are annihilated – collateral damage.…

    Key to the Cornerstone Gusty winds snaked across the sandy African landscape, bursting drafts of gritty heat upon the cracked ground below. Draughts weaved through the clay houses barren and lifeless with not a soul to be seen. The village had been deserted. Piling in small heaps against the rugged walls of the shacks, the sandstorm collected its silt within crooks and nicks wherever it could find them. Tousled door flaps snapped and wagged in the perturbation.…

    The decision that I found to be particularly hasty was Romeo's decision to commit suicide. I believe that this decision was impulsive and fueled by Romeo's emotions. It lead to not only his death but his lover Juliet as well. If Romeo had been more thoughtful instead of letting his grief and desperate thoughts overwhelm him, he could of created a different ending for the play, one not as tragic. Before Romeo made such a decision, he had been waiting for Friar Lawrence in Mantua to send him news of the uplifting sorts when Balthazar had told him that Juliet had died.…
