Footstep

the author trying to tell us that life ends and people constantly come and go because no one lives for eternity,but yet life will still continue. Symbolically the poem is about death as it is represented by the “darkness”, the “effacement” of his footsteps in the sand, and the non-return of the traveler by the end of the poem. When the author repeats the refrain, “The tide rises, the tide falls”, the rising tide is actually a metaphor for our journey through life. As well as “the twilight…

I had never seen a ghost. But like they say, there is a first time for everything. It was a class field trip to the Alamo. I’ve always heard rumors that there have been ghost sightings there, but I didn’t believe it. I don’t believe in ghosts because nothing paranormal has happened to me. That day, we all were excited, yet a bit scared to see how things would turn out. As we all walked through the Alamo, our tour guide began to play around with us. In that moment I knew something ghostly would…

I want to be an Alpha man because I see them as the epitome of what a man is. Bold, unwavering and headstrong. Being nineteen, which is still considered young and with my youth comes inexperience which is one of my problems and it’s something I know Alpha Phi Alpha will help me with. It will expose me to new situations and bring me in contact with more people and therefore expand horizons; which I would have a hard time meeting on my own.

Have you ever wondered the details on Christopher Columbus discovering America? I have, and I am very curious about what events lead up to him getting the opportunity and knowledge to discover America. How he got all the academic finding and maps, how he got permission, and if he went alone. Also, just a little more background information on Christopher himself. I found in my research that the discovery of America was an enormous surprise and overruled all other events that took place in the…

The beginning of his texts talks about how Abraham lied to Pharaoh about his wife being his sister because he was such a “coward,” yet he was praise by people (Roman 4). Thompson also points out about another role model, who we believe is righteous and great, of their negatives acts. He gave an example of Isaac, who lied to King Abimelech of Gerar and Lot, who offered his daughter to a Sodom’s man. He also mentions Jacob and his sons. Theses people lie, mistreat, and took advantage of others,…

In Arthur Miller’s The Crucible, Reverend Hale tells Elizabeth Proctor that, “No principle, however glorious, is worth dying for.” Hale states that it is better to lie than to die for something you believe in. I strongly disagree with this because I would rather die standing up for something than to lie. Many people stand up for their beliefs and protest in something and I think that is great because it shows their pride. Everyone should be proud in what they believe in. Back…

scariest “thing” he had ever seen. “I’m sorry,” Dan whispered. There was a short silence before he decided to run, but he had made the wrong decision. He had made it to the door but the creature was so fast that there wasn’t any noise. No screaming, no footsteps. Silence. After complete isolation for what seemed like hours, Russell decided to run. He ran so fast that he was a blur. But in the end it didn’t matter. He was a…

just by these little things we didn’t know was out there, in space. Earth’s atmosphere is thick enough to prevent poisonous rays of radiation from getting to it. The earth’s rotation is gradually slowing down because of the moon. ‘’As a single footstep will not make a on the earth, so a single thought will not make a in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.’’…
