Walked out of Downtown Crossing station, I always saw Macy’s Department store. It was a common meeting place. Taking the corner of a brick church with a short but delicate tower, I pedaled up the hill. I saw a colossal, glaring golden dome on maroon arches and white pillars.

This shows a respect to the city socially that Gilgamesh never had,…

stripes, my Father has pioneered the path, so that me, my brother, and my mother can live with a ticket to the American Dream with a front row seat. I strive to defend the legacies of the men and women before me who have built the American Dream brick by brick. Politics will never be used for my own personal power, but used as a chance to give the people a direct voice to Washington, and to serve them…

short stories evil always prevails and the victim always is terminated or fails. Also in ever one of his stories the climax or the creepiest part of the story happens at midnight. In “The Cask” the victim is placed into the corner and sealed up by bricks at midnight and left to die. Poe definitely perfects the creepiness he is trying to portray by using midnight, because at that period of time and still even today midnight is when everyone should be asleep and when the crazies come out. “It was…
