The North Dakota environment influenced each of my senses in a positive enhancing matter that still affects me to this day. Growing up in the rural areas of North Dakota as a child I have been given…

the ocean to swim in, and the mountains to hike and relax, people still avoid this. Caught up in the fast pace lifestyle of businesses, they forget what's really out there.

attending meetings. I finish up my work and start walking down the twelve flights of stairs. Normally the elevator suites me, but from all the sitting I had done today, I thought I needed a little exercise. I get to the main floor, breathing heavily. I open the doors of the tall business building and take a step outside. Immediately I feel the cool breeze on my cheeks. To warm me up I visit this coffee shop just a block down from where I work. The coffee shop is rather filled up with customers.…

Both Heller and Eliot, in Catch 22 and The Wasteland, respectively, use the modern structure of fragmentation to emphasize the disillusionment and despair that come as a result of a war. In The Wasteland, Eliot begins with the imagery of a barren land, laying a foundation for his poem about nothingness after World War I. Throughout “The Burial of the Dead”, he references the hyacinth girl, a reference to the woman who held the Holy Grail that could restore the lands. However, he notes, “I could…
