Gone with the Wind

also helps to attract mates. The heart shaped wings make for fast flying to get to each house. Structure 2: The love bug has a colorful and sparkling head and abdomen. This attracts the opposite sex.

The love bug is very multi-colored to attract others as well and show people they are friendly. Structure 3: The antennas are bright in color and stand out amongst the…

Despair Five days. It seemed like an eternity. Five days since the violent tornado raged through the small neighborhood where I had lived all of my life. Clad in the casual T-shirt and jeans I had run away in, I stopped at the base of the hill, where I frequently rode my bike, again and again, recklessly fast down the long curving road. No riding today. The road to my cul de sac is strewn with wood and other debris from where the tornado shredded homes, trees, and power lines in it’s path…

The ethical question I am writing is whether or not Ponyboy and Johnny should have gone into the burning church to attempt to save the little children trapped inside. In the story Ponyboy and Johnny go and attempt to save the children and this costs Johnny his life and causes Dally to get many injuries. I believe that this was the incorrect decision. There aren't many reasons to risk your life for someone else, however I think the reason that Ponyboy and Johnny went in is because they…

via a rocket that came from the Earth, the text states that “the wind blew, whining. At any moment the Martian air might draw his soul from him, as marrow comes from a white bone.” This means that a party of humans had reached a setting that was unfamiliar because in the text we learn that the humans had emerged from a “rocket” that came from the Earth and that they were currently on Mars. When the author chose to mention that the wind was “whining,” the readers had sensed that Mars’s foreign…

There are always warning signs when change is coming, but there’s never a way to stop the change. Adrienne Rich explores this idea of knowledge without power in her poem, “Storm Warnings” as the narrator prepares herself and her home to withstand a storm. As I read this poem, I recognized the narrator’s sense of powerlessness but determination to press on in the face of adversity as something I have seen in the eyes of New Orleanians since August 29th, 2005. Our city was destroyed by Hurricane…

The Great Depression was an enormous economic downfall in the history of the United States and was also a very hard time for many Americans. People had lost jobs, markets went bad, banks had shut down, and unemployment rate has gone up. It had lasted from 1929-1939. During the next several years, buyer spending and investment had dropped, causing a decline in industrial output and raising the unemployment level. It began with the stock market crash on October 29 1929, which had lost millions of…

The first room was illuminated by a foul fluorescent light peeking through the shattered light bulbs. The wind whistled through the holes of the crumbled bookshelves. Book lay there, it was as if they knew they were unwanted and discarded; gathering dust just like the bodies of rats sprawled out on the floor; giving a sickly scent of mildew. Spikes of Fungus pierced the bodies like hot knives did through butter! Looking up I could see a riddle on the wall: "what's ahead of you, but you can't see…

In All My sons by Arthur Miller, the usage of symbolism is used in a post war world to show the death of a son and a community’s disregard for the truth. Symbols include an apple tree and a jail created by the patriarch of the Keller family. The neighborhood is living in a time period following World War II. The time period allows for the symbols to have more impact. At the beginning of the drama, the symbol of the apple tree is presented. The apple tree was planted in memorial of the Keller’s…

yet to be solved. “Houston, the Eagle has landed” is a quote from Neil Armstrong. Were the American moon landings successful or were they just a hoax in American history? For a long time, people have been wondering if American astronauts have ever gone to the moon. Many conspiracy theories have been indicated saying that they never went to the moon and proved that they didn't go for several reasons. I do believe that they went to the moon. I believe this statement because first of all, many…

Is it the wind, next door neighbor’s cat - or something else…. This makes her sink more deeply into her ocean of pillows, trying to escape from the scary outside world. Tired and dis-orientated, she begins to wonder, how much longer can she take this. Is it even…
