My texts were Education for Leisure by Carol Ann Duffy, Sad Joke on a Marae by Apirana Taylor, District 9 directed by Neill Blomkamp and Barton Fink directed by Joel Coen. I expected all of my texts to be able to reflect one another as they were all from a similar time period. In particular, I expected…

Here are a couple things that happen at railroad crossings. First off, in the Utah driving handbook it says that you always need to slow down when you come to a railroad crossing.

One artwork where artistic license is used is the painting, “Washington Crossing the Delaware.” The painting expresses the hardship of George Washington crossing the Delaware River with a proud and confident stance, on a huge boat with a flag and horses.

treat. # "High trolollie lollie lol, High trolollie lee, Happy day, old Carrion, Happy day to me. Caw, caw, caaaaw!" Chasm John Sebastian crept closer. The Chasm called to him, opening its arms. Emptiness greyed his cheeks. His face numbed. And his footing, once firm and sure, faltered. With a long face, he teetered on the edge of the Chasm. He stared into the rumbling darkness.
