T. Coraghessan Boyle’s short story, “Greasy Lake,” is a work of fiction that is meant to display the absurdities of the American teenage experience. Published in 1985, Boyle is quick to contextualize the work within an 80s teenager’s frame of reference; he opens the story with a lyric from a Bruce Springsteen song, “Sprit of the Night,” which acts as Boyle’s first symbol in the story, a tribute to the teenagers of the decade in which the story is published. But, from the content, it can be…

They were inseparable, ""I love you," he told her, because he did, because there was no feeling like this, no triumph, no high--it was like being immortal and unconquerable, like gloating. And a hundred times a day she said it too. (613)" the two decide to take a trip and go camping after graduation. At this point in the story we are focusing on Jeremy and China's relationship and how strong it seems. We do however notice their naivety in there actions, particularly after they run out of…
ingenious invention of the assembly line. This made most products expensive because of the extensive amount of work that people had to put forth into making products.

Some regard that Donne was not only learned, but used science and mythology to make a specific point in his poetry, appealing to a wider range of critical thinkers. Others disagree with both statements, saying that Donne’s success was merely…
Over the past week there has been a lot of new material that I’ve had to learn. While it may have been a hard a times, the information we have learned is very important.
