Gone with the Wind

• The crew lands on the island of Aiolia, ruled by Aiolos Hippotadês, the king of the winds. Aiolos welcomes the crew to his palace and offers the to stay a full month to listen to their account of the Trojan War. • As the crew leaves the island, Aiolos gives Odysseus a bull’s hide bag filled with storm winds, hoping it would help blow them straight back home. • For nine days they sailed and on the tenth day they see men building fires on the shore and land.

night. The others would never do that. The others would walk off and leave me talking. Or threaten me. No one has time any more for anyone else.” Pg. 55 “She didn’t want to know how a thing was done, but why... You ask Why to a lot of things and you wind up very unhappy indeed” Bradbury is approaching what he thinks would happen if books were outlawed. Three major things: People only have time for themselves “You’re not like others. I’ve seen a few; I know. When I talk, you look at me. When I…

saw him moving quickly between tables and coaches. It was even hard for me to keep an eye on him. Then he disappeared. As I was trying to find where he was, I felt a fluffy creature rubbed by my ankle and jumped up with a paw scooping up. The toy was gone. As soon as the fat cat got the toy, he rushed to the toy with scratches. The slim cat moved. She noticed that Mao was only focusing on the toy, but not the environment around him, so she crushed onto him from the opposite side of the living…

my lungs begin to collapse, my heart begins to swell, and my limbs begin to throb. I sink further into the sand, I feel sand crabs scamper across my feet, shells brush against my ankles, and my thoughts disappear into the deep, dark abyss. It is all gone. My recent memories resurface in my brain – the memories from earlier today: waking up in my warm bed back in…

tonight!” “What!” I can’t believe a storm is coming, the thought of the wind gushing through my windows, and all that lighting, thunder and rain! Last storm I actually asked my parents to sleep in their room. It’s not normal for a 13 year old girl to sleep in their parents room. The clock read 9:30 PM, which means it’s time to go to bed since I have school tomorrow. As I lay in bed I can’t sleep, the thought of storms and strong winds frightens me. A moment later I hear rain pounding on a…

Gone with the Wind focused towards social conflict and division between two parties (The North and the South) that resulted in many deaths and left the South utterly demolished. Likewise, with the Greasers, they are also fighting for their place on the social hierarchy and for the reason to take a stand against social injustice. Gone with the Wind and the poem Stay Gold are connected and linked by Johnny’s death. Johnny leaves…

unique and just keep going. But that is not the only thing related to everyone. In fact the whole universe is a whirligig, the sun is the pivot and the planes are the propellers. Some whirligigs stay in one spot and never move, while some move with the wind. Some people stay in their town all the time, but some…

The feeling of cold damp wood beneath her bare feet. The wind chilling her further through her thin nightgown. “Shh, what were you thinking? Are you hurt? Dear god you 're freezing...” She opened her mouth to reply, willing in vain for her vocal chords to work. Her heart sunk when she thought of the beautiful…

I did not dare let go. As the apathetic wind blew, my grip tightened on the wooden spool in my hand. Wound onto the spool was a white nylon string which had risen several feet above me. The blue, diamond-shaped tissue paper at the end hovered in the sky, but it did not stay for long. The next thing I knew, the delicate kite collapsed down onto the ground after the umpteenth time that afternoon. But this did not discourage me because I knew wind was something not possible for me to control.…
