End time

When we got to the camp, the captain lined us up and called for cooks, butchers, clerks, interpreters, and other personnel needed to operate the facility. He also asked for two electricians. Only Walter Bankrath stepped forward. Again the officer shouted, “Are there any electricians here?” I said to myself, “This is my chance.” I stepped forward even though I was not qualified. I figured that with a skilled number one man, I would have no difficulty performing the job. As it turned out, I…

My background is central to my identity, because who I was then and the memories I have now, with the things that happened to me throughout my life, have changed me into who I am today. Yet, in the past few years, I have changed drastically and still am growing into the person I want to be. The three main sections, and or concepts, that make me who I am today, are who I was, who I am and who I will be. Beginning with, who I was, I was never a child that wanted to be out in a crowd with others,…

that face again.” It was a sad day for sure, to thinking a stroke could take our strong fighting Grandpa. Yet with our faces hung with despair, for Dane and I, this would be a pose short lived. We did not know or believe it would become a better time soon, that all our tears would be wiped away with something so simple, so fun. That we would forget all our grievances, because at the age of 6, we did not think so deeply into darkness, and would forget all the sadness of the day because of...…

Francisco or El Paso. So my mobile phone is a big comfort because it connects me to those away from me and current events. Sometimes I’m on my mobile phone and get lost mentally with all the possibilities I can do with it but I lose plenty of time. After reading your collection of poems in “My Wicked Wicked Ways”, I couldn’t but to feel like one your poems was similar to my situation. The poem “Drought” felt a lot like my situation with my mobile phone. You were in a battle of trying…

part of it. The dry fingers of a desert wind beckon for me to cross over the balcony ledge into nothing, but I ignore its invitation for the moment, taking my time to contemplate the inevitable future that awaits me. There is a darkness that will soon ensnare me in its arms and, with it, an end to my existence. A part of me fears this end, but another, larger part of me wonders what would happen if I accept it. Would it hurt to die? Probably. Would it be worth embracing it in order…

1914, Frost was inspired to write The Road Not Taken when his close friend Edward Thomas used to take him on woodland walks where Thomas would always choose the path that enables him to show more to Frost. Even though, Thomas enjoyed the walks, in the end, he would always regret the decision he made, sighing over what he might of saw if he took an alternate path.…

does it morning routine. The story is set in the future, 2026 to be exact. The story depicts the future as a place where everything is done for the house owners and that everything is based on time. Everyday at seven o'clock the voice-clock sings the time. Everyday at seven-nine the clock says its breakfast time. The house is on this schedule like clockwork and it sticks by and stays on this schedule even when it is burning and dying. Quite early on the story reves that this is the last house…

“When life gives you lemons, then make lemonade.” Although this concept is true, trying to overcome pernicious obstacles can be tremendous. In the next paragraph, I will provide details of this moment and the alkylated steps it has taken me to see through the pernicious obstacle. The journey will begin momentarily……. On July 3, 2005, the moment my life would change for the worst. This is the day I became a single parent. Perhaps If I remembered the “know-how”, the feeling of despair would not…

flashbacks in the film. According to Casper, the narrative flashback is “an indication not only of the use of the past to explain the present, but also an indication of the compulsion to repeat, the mark of a neurotic person” (Casper, 360). Thus, the first time when the narrative flashback in The Lost Weekend appears, it uses the past to explain the present—about how Don Birnam (Ray Milland),…

normal work mode rhythm can be a challenge after an event ends. Whether this is the first event you're planning or the 90th, you've spent untold hours gathering items, organizing volunteers and making sure everything came off without a hitch. Planning an event is far more than a part-time job, which means you likely have spent at least a portion of your work day planning this conference for your company. Now, however, the event is over and it's time to get back to the daily task of making your…
