Ultimately, it was the snowball hitting Mary which caused her to become “simple.” Hence, it was not revealed until later years that her “simplicity” was caused by a rock which was hidden inside of the snowball. Thus, it was not until a few years after Paul’s birth that Mary performed her first miracle. However, it was unbeknownst that her actions were a miracle at the time that they occurred. One evening, Mary had gone missing from her home. A search party had been sent out to look for her, to which they found her in the large gravel pit that the townspeople hated because “it was a refuge for the tramps who rode the rods of the railway” (Davies 40). Mary was caught in the act of sexual intercourse with one of the tramps, whom was later revealed to be named Joel Surgeoner. Joel claimed that he was greatly affected by his encounter with Mary in the gravel pit, and stated “it was her that turned me to God” (Davies 132). He changed his life around and spent the rest of it dedicated to helping the homeless. Joel’s change of character from being a tramp to being “the man who was delivered from devils by Our Lord” (Davies 135) subsequently occurred after Mary performed her first miracle on him. Furthermore, Mary’s second miracle was raising a sick boy from the dead. Willie Ramsay was a citizen of Deptford, who “began to have spells of illness marked by severe internal pain” (Davies 52) after an accident at a newspaper plant.…

the bus yard. I can hear his wet footsteps nearing me as I’m trying to lose him in the maze of broken down buses, in a panic I couldn’t remember the exact spot where I came in from. The killer was gradually closing in, I did what I could to lose him, crawling under one of the buses, hoping he’d lose interest in the pursuit. The entire yard was made of gravel so event he slightest movement would create a sound, I have to wait him out and pray he doesn’t find me. This was the real deal, I…

“BANG!” The bullet rang from the barrel as we ran along the gravel smothered pavement. I felt Jezebel’s cold arm rubbing against mine, and could hardly hear my father’s heavy footsteps trekking along behind us over my own breath. The second bullet rang through the air, it hit the floor beside us and the earth spat the gravel up at us. Pain ran through me; I could hear Jezebel sobbing from the rocks that had just made an impact with her lower legs. “OVER THERE, HURRY UP, I WILL HOLD THEM OFF!!!”…

type of gravel that crunches and crackles like pop rocks in water. Every dreadful step lead us out of familiarity, inching into an unfamiliar landscape. Furthermore, the probability of returning to the fluorescent tourist filled road dwindled. The insurmountable maze we had stumbled upon threw us in a daze. As a result, we had not a single speculation in our conscious minds on where we had landed…

The famous poem “The Road Less Travelled” by Robert Frost is short, simple and to the point. It follows a speaker on his walk through the quaint forest when he meets a fork in the road. The roads are analyzed and a choice is made that he is aware will affect the rest of his life. Frost uses many rhetorical devices in this poem, but the three big ones he uses are the speaker himself, the setting the poem takes place in, and lastly symbolism. All three of these are greatly represented in this…

What are some warning signs that you should replace your shocks? If you notice your car bottom out on the railroad tracks, speed bumps or it continues bouncing after the bump, that shows that your shock absorbers are not what they used to be. What other signs might this include? First, if you hear strange noises at bumps or excess body lean during turns,…

I drove out to the gravel road that had taken my friend’s life. It was a single car accident in which she struck loose gravel and rolled her brown, Ford Escape SUV multiple times. She was not wearing her seatbelt and was ejected through her sunroof. I put my vehicle in park and stepped onto the loose pieces of rock. The towing company had taken her vehicle, but they had not picked up all the pieces. Bits of yellow reflective lights were mixed in with the shattered pieces of red brake…

Countdown The clock ticked down as we had less than thirty minutes to find our way out of the labyrinth that we brought upon ourselves. The further we adventured into the unknown, the more our once unscathed gleaming shoes became soiled. We kept dredging through the dense, and sticky mud that now engulfed the path. The same path that was once created with the type of gravel that crunches and crackles like pop rocks in water. Every step further lead us out of familiarity, inching into an…
