City Lights

their guests feel welcome. The sunbathing during the day, the evening walks on the beach, the calm breeze of wind blowing from the sea with the peaceful sound of the ocean makes you never want it to end. One such place is the Cancun. Cancun is the city in Mexico, and is one of the most popular vacation spots in the world. It meets the Caribbean Sea which is known to be one of the most beautiful place to relax and enjoy the life around the sea. The water here is clean and clear, the view is…

Silly poems and deep, dark truths are the world of Shel Silverstein. The lights in the attic always seem to be on; however, if one takes a hard look at Silverstein’s work, one must look beyond the lights in the attic to delve through the rest of the house to come up with a whole picture of who Shel Silverstein was. As with most authors, the face put forward in public for consumption rarely matches the behind-the-scenes person who keeps personal secrets away from society. All understand this…

The Secrets The sun hung low in the sky as night began to dawn on the small village. A girl named Alice was finishing her assigned chores after the rest of the staff had gone to bed. Alice had recently been promoted to head maid in the manor where she had worked for her entire life. Long shadows were cast in the laundry as Alice began to finally make her way down to her quarters as per her usual mundane routine. As always the moment she fell upon her bed after the long day, her eyelids went…

abandoned the rest of the world,” Glassinger said. Her glow dimmed as if she was perturbed by the mention of Burton. “No. He did not.” “I was a part of his resistance, until I realized that my involvement could jeopardize the secrecy of our city beneath the sea. No one knew of our kingdom and the few that did couldn’t reach it if they tried. Burton sent Gabriel Volpi to Naan and the Nekrums followed. It’s Burton’s fault that the Nekrums are here. I renounced my oath to fight. The sky…

7:00 am- I open my eyes and a thin beam of early-morning light shines into by enormous bedroom. A breeze blows the drapes on my bay window revealing the sun still low in the sky, which cast feeble shadows about the room, decorated with exotic souvenirs and artifacts from my adventures all over the world. I step out the door to a deck with a huge, sparkling pool and a trail leading back towards the rocky cliff overlooking the ocean. I follow the trail out to the cliff and study the tropical,…

Thirty-Five As usual, when darkness descends, the city comes to life. Clusters of carriages travel Rue Saint Louis. Many are headed to Antoine’s or other fine restaurants, some, like ours, maybe leaving the city. Seeing Boudreaux waiting for me in front of Antoine’s caused other feeling to stir… what am I doing- why am I running away. Do I truly want to do this? Do I? Indecision could be the death of me. As if he could read my mind, and maybe he could, Myles took my hand and gazed into my…

“Yeah, a dust cloud formed when the asteroid hit, rendering one of my eyes useless,” Amanda explains. Now I climb out of my bunker and take a look outside. All I see is the vast emptiness and the darkness. The flashlight is the only form of light I can clearly see. “Can we go find one of my friends,” I ask. “I don’t know. A lot of the bunkers are gone on the east side of town are gone and I’m pretty sure everyone there is dead too,” Bruce says, “That means if your pal is there, then we oughta…

Prior to this moment, my grandfather fell down at a rehabilitation facility called King City Rehab and Living Center, and he sustained serious injuries, like broken bones, that caused internal bleeding because he was a brittle, old man in his nineties. My grandfather was transferred to a hospital in Tualatin where he received extensive treatment…

waves that do not need to travel through a medium. They are disturbances in both the electric and magnetic fields. These waves can travel through a vacuum (empty space) because they don't require a medium to travel through. Some examples on them are light, X-Ray and infrared rays. Both these types of waves are classified according to the direction the particles, it…

to the sentence pattern. The rhythm of the language is formal and consistent. This portrays the rigidity of society in which the book takes place well. CONCRETE DETAIL/IMAGERY The most recurrent images in The Awakening are the comparisons between light and dark. The Pontellier house is described as dazzling white. The night sky is dark and murky when Doctor Mandelet “discovers” Edna’s secret. Edna’s father has the following description: “His hair and mustache were white and silky, emphasizing…
