Face

irregular patterns of gold onto my face, and the face of the person lying beside me. I roll over to see a man, who I have known all my life, sleeping soundly despite the hard rocks beneath us. I inhale deeply as I stare up into intermingling patterns of branches and leaves. The air smells like rain and freshly cut grass, my favorite smell in the…

both eyes. Something here is not quite right and I screw my face up in concentration. Tears mean someone is sad, sad is worse than glum. People do not usually cry when they are glum, apart from my uncle Roger who ‘suffered from depression’ and cried sixteen times in all of the times…

Many people fear death at the back of their mind, unconsciously dwelling over the surreal fact that they would have to come face to face with it some day, yet most do not bring themselves to explore it completely until it lurks in the corner or appears on their doorstep. The sonnet “And You as Well Must Die, Beloved Dust” and the dramatic monologue “Identification”, explores the concept of death and how each writer comes to grips with it. Both poems express reactions to the inevitable nature of…

Community means a myriad of things to different people. Often people are mistaken with the word community. The first thing that may come to mind is your location, where you live, the people who surround your home. That is not necessarily the case. A community can be a group of people who share common interests. For example, there can be a community of middle aged moms going through a hard time with their families or a community of men and women who enjoy fishing. The key to understanding what a…

standing in front of us with a smile in his face. We just nodded and at that moment it hit me that it wasn 't just him and me, there were many people standing around us. Warm familiar faces, some were smiling, some were tearing up and some were looking at their attire. As the judge finished up with the sentence i now pronounce you man and wife I started to tear up, it just felt so magical. "You may now kiss the bride," came out of the judges ' smiling face. My husband wasted no time, he…

than you were yesterday, back then she was always that person.The way we posed like statue brought an unexpected smile we literally took hundreds of pictures that day. I can still smell the beignets we ate that day ,the powder was smeared all over our face and clothes. All those memories are starting to slowly fade as we spend more time apart. I have never been the type to keep friends for very long. Although it 's very unintentional I have a tendency of pushing people away before they get a…

she she busted through the door with a face of pure anger. Lennox and ross turned around instantly with horror on their face to see the person standing in front of them was Lady Macbeth. Both of the men looked at each other and then back to her and they had never felt fear like they did in that moment because they knew the power she had. It was her word over theirs and there was no way the consequences would be…

The first week of middle school, I made a life changing mistake. It leads me to a very powerful skill I did not even know I had. Sitting in the lunch room I had not been paying attention to who was around me this was to be a very poor decision. Had I been paying attention I would have seen the new kid, Dalton Adams walking by me; preventing the following situation. Up go my arms I feel something make contact with my arm. My head begins to turn trying to figure out what I have hit and to my…

I still couldn’t believe it had been ten whole years since I had moved from this place, but I just couldn’t get the memories out of my head. I could still feel the classic Norvelt wind blowing across my face calling me out to come and realize that this is where I belong. Well, I guess it was correct because even, after all, I and my family moved to Florida things just didn’t seem to want to go right. As I walked through the neighborhood I could still see everything as it was ten years ago,…

I am unable to hide my emotions due to the fact that my facial expressions are a dead giveaway. I have seen the concept of The Naked Face not only with my own expressions but more often on those of others. The fact that our facial expressions are often involuntary they can lead to the concept of Facilitated communications. When I am communicating with my friends or they with me, we can…
