The Mid-autumn Festival is an important holiday for Chinese people and I would like to discuss the meal on the Mid-autumn Festival in my family. The festival is celebrated on the 15th day of the eighth month in the Chinese lunar calendar. Traditionally, the meal is used to celebrate harvest because many crops, such as corn, sweet potatoes, rice, beans, and peanut, are harvested in autumn. Today, more and more people do not plant crops and the meal is gradually becoming a get-together meal for…

I chose this poem originally because Autumn is my favorite time of year, but as I read I am struck by how Keats captures the tangibility of the season and can 't help but wonder if it isn 't his favorite time of year also.

I was scared, excited, nervous and happy all at the same time. My mom was by my side every step of the way and was excited to be going through this…

There are many times in life when humans do not come to terms with “the end” but the poem shows that everyone and everything is aware that nothing is permanent. The title and first stanza define a setting for the poem, noontime, in autumn, in a field. This stanza depicts a slow…

the other three divisions were experienced, but older and tired. This played a factor in the German offense as they sent out 2,500 tanks and 18 infantry divisions to kill and destroy the American line of defense. The Germans called this “Operation Autumn Fog.” It held to its name due to the support of fog that held the allies grounded and unsupported during the…

In Dancing at Lughnasa, an adult Michael narrates the story of one of his childhood summers, set in the house where he grew up, raised by his single mother, four aunts, a mentally sick uncle, and a father who occasionally dropped by. Although Michael, played by Wyn Moreno, is the main character, he was merely a voice on the stage.
