I like the phrase, “without whimpering self-pity.” It sounds much more dramatic and important than the phrase, “without complaining.” I also like the phrase, “gritty resolution.” Was there anything that you did last week that you…

The Prius wasn’t...a new car. It was several years old, actually, and even if it hadn’t been Lucinda’s family would have done good work on it and you might have thought that it was. A booster seat was buckled haphazardly in the back next to an abandoned McDonald’s bag that held a single decaying fry, which clung to its short fast-food life with all the desperation of students on their last day of summer. I could relate. When I got in, my friend apologized for the “old weed” smell - her older…

Living in America, life should be richer, and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement, regardless of social class or circumstances of birth. Everyone around the world conflicts with their differences and in America, not everyone agrees. Some have stronger beliefs than others and sometimes we meet in the middle.

A poor woodcutter refuses to share his meal with both Jesus and the Virgin Mary to present his social injustices in Christianity. The woodcutter explains the reason that “I think you neglect the poor. You give everything to the rich and so little to the poor” (1609). Furthermore, the woodcutter only shares his meal with Death. In this tale, Death symbolizes the balance of justice because she “[doesn’t] play favorites with the wealthy because…

Before we could begin to cross the street we walked passed a pole that we split. Waiting for Jacob 's worried response, he surprised me saying “Do you really think splitting this pole is going to ruin our friendship.” I laughed saying “Your right, it looks like I am the one who needs to take lessons from you now.” As Jacob stepped into the street, I noticed a car speeding down the road that obviously had not seen Jacob. As I screamed out to Jacob I knew it was to late as I watched…

asks Georgie, “Are you completely blind?” “The theme of death introduced at the beginning by the blood-drenched emergency room is continued here with the dead rabbit. To emphasize this theme, even more, the rabbit is pregnant—suggesting death-in-life or life-in-death.” (May “paragraph 11” #2) Fuckhead becomes a sort of surrogate mother to the rabbits that Georgie has saved by putting them under his shirt against his…

like a bass drum in my ears as I run. I can barely breathe but I don’t stop. I reach my car, crank the engine and put my foot to the floor.

We work on our project, have nice…
