Alfredo di Stéfano

2012 was his year, except the next three years after that were horrible for everyone. He had everything a person could want. Fame, money, and power, but he lost it all.

year and to top it off, in my opinion, waking up to snow covering the ground on Christmas is the best thing in the world. Firstly, on Christmas Eve, I get ready to go out to eat with my extended family and relatives. We almost always go to a fancy Italian restaurant that has a nice atmosphere and has good food.

The Victims by Sharon Olds centers the question of who the real victims of divorce are. On the surface, it may appear a certain way, but upon further inspection, the answers may be something very different. The Victims can be split into two parts according to tone and tense.

The first half of the poem (lines 1-17) is in the past tense and it appears as if the speaker is a young child…

Before these first two speeches, the reader knows little about who Aeneas is. His characteristics as a person and a leader are unclear, so it is natural that the reader would pay attention to the first thing this character…
