Cocktail

When I finally arrived at his house I decided to merely let myself in as I habitually did. As I approached, I caught a strong combination of aromas and realized that they had been drinking and passing around a sort of drug cocktail they had crafted. The room was a mess with miniscule, torn scraps of paper, presumably used to wrap their various drugs, beer cans, and what I was hoping were splashes of spilled beer on the carpet. Peering through the dimly lit room, my eyes caught…

shot. So he decided to kill Lennie quickly and painlessly so he would not have to die a horrible and tedious death. A mother was accused of murder when she helped kill her daughter, Lynn, who had a terminal illness. Lynn’s mother had “administered a cocktail of lethal drugs to end Lynn's life in ­December 2008 after her daughter called her for help when her own attempts at suicide failed” (Laville). Lynn realised that she was going to die at some point and did not want to be in pain anymore. So…

a bench that was reserved for prison guards only while all the inmates were trying to take over the prison. “ In this prison nobody is a leader.” Edgar said. We watched the continuous rage of inmates in the prison. Some people were using molotov cocktails and other homemade weapons. I have heard the court system in Russia is one if not the weakest system in the world. After the inmates have taken over the prison, we marked our victory by adding a date on the wall “ December 8,…

Chanel made the color black known as a chic and versatile piece. This dress can be worn for a cocktail party or a elegant evening wear. It had a simple cut and short essentials for a complete wardrobe. She designed costumes pieces for shows, artists and friends. When she was dating her Russian boyfriend she became influenced by their culture and started…

My most recent client is in his 70s, at least. His hands are clammy and I think his heart might give out while he is on top of me. Most girls would think that grandpas like him are full of sugar and spice, but I know better. The older, the more sleazy. But most of the time the money I get is pretty substantial, so I deal with it. At least he doesn’t ask to cuddle. The man at the Subway down the street from my apartment always asks. For some reason, they all like to believe that they are special.…

What is a Mother? Before I begin discussing my early memories and definition of a mother, I feel it necessary to write a brief social location. I grew up in a rather small bilingual city in the east coast of Canada. As a child, as far as I could understand my parents had sufficient incomes, there was always ample food for my brother and me, and although time allowed to play video games was limited, we had the luxury to own a Nintendo. My family and a large number of French speaking families in…

rugs should not be legalized and I have several reasons to support my view. First is that legalization would increase drug use and abuse and it would produce more addicts than the country will have resources to handle? It will increase the crime rate as drugs take away a person’s inhibitions. Some hard drugs such as cocaine and morphine have potentially fatal side effects. Drugs are addicted and they take away a person’s ability to make rational decisions and his free will. Drugs affect not only…

Working as a Certified Nursing Assistant in a long-term healthcare facility has made me question how we handle death for the terminally ill in the United States. Caring for and interacting with people that are in the final stages of life alters one’s personal view of death. In a way it removes fear and allows one to see the comfort and relief that death may bring to someone that is suffering. Picture this; you have been diagnosed with a terminal illness. Out of desperation, and denial, you…

In fact, the jobbery of the prison wardens and their guards allows the prisoners to engage in a game of manipulation by which they manage to tentatively disrupt the prison system to their advantage. For instance, Andy Dufresne, the protagonist of the story, manages to adopt what Foucault calls a “strategy of struggle”, in “The Subject and Power” (794), which enables him to overcome the physical and mental constraints exercised by the prison institution. By offering financial advice and handling…

tendencies to externalize his childhood traumas onto the people around him, mixed with a young adulthood filled with boxing driven by a “grudge against the world” and a crushed dream of playing tennis professionally, the father becomes an intimidating cocktail seemingly determined to pursue his dreams through his son: “But my son, he adds – maybe they will make tennis an Olympic sport once again, and my son will win a gold medal, and that will make up for it”. However, we as a reader do not know…
