He leaves Alpha Company but meets up with the men at Base Camp. The Narrator feels like he is not part of the group anymore. "In a way, I envied him - all of them. Their deep bush tans, the sores and blisters, the stories, the in-it-togetherness. I felt close to them, yes, but I also felt a new sense of separation" (O'Brien, 194). The men of Alpha Company still recognized the Narrator as a friend, but since he was not out in the "bush" risking his neck everyday, the friendship was different. "That's how I felt - like a civilian - and it made me sad. These guys had been my brothers. We'd loved one another. (O'Brien, 194) The Narrator not only feels like he is not part of this special bond of soldiers in the field, but finds out that he is replaced by another. The men feel that the Narrator is like a civilian in a way. He wasn't out in the field when they where getting shot at, he did not live in constant fear of a bullet. It goes back to earlier in the book when the Narrator himself states that no one can understand the bond between the men unless they where there to experience situation first hand. From this point in the novel the Narrator finishes his tour feeling he does not…

servants holding his arm down steady until the needle was withdrawn. The slave jerked and twisted against the hands pinning him to the bed, a snarl ripping from his throat. They released him one by one, allowing him to curl protectively around his hurting stomach. He shuddered, a warm flush traveling through his body. "What did you give me?" He demanded to know. There was no answer and soon Jinki couldn't care less, the drugs clouding his mind in a pleasant haze. He was dimly aware of a cloth…

On Friday night, I was relaxing on my couch, when a knock came at the door. I went to get it, and what I saw was inspirational. My brother Thomas, and his friends, Jake and Alex, were at the door step. They told me that they were going on one final shopping trip before spring break ended, and asked me if I wanted to come. Of course, I said yes. We trekked on our bikes across the neighborhood until we reached the intersection between Lake Trant and Great Neck. One wrong step and we would become…

Tom Goforth took a deep breath and bounced lightly from one foot to the other. He could feel his heart rate increase, and the blood pulse through his face and hands. This was his routine, his ritual before a big presentation. He had to get moving, get his energy up. The crowd could sense his excitement, and it helped get them worked up. And more importantly it sold his product, his brand. He took one last look in the mirror, adjusted his three thousand dollar suit, and stretched his tanned face…

The first thing you need to do is check the dog's airway, breathing and circulation (ABC): Listen to it's chest and put your hand in front of it's mouth to check for a breath. If s/he isn't breathing pull the tongue forward, close the mouth and tilt the head a little to open the airway so that you remove anything that is blocking it. If you are unable to remove the obstruction you can perform the Heimlich Manoeuvre: Hold the dog upside down with it's head facing the floor and shake it gently…

Jay Gatsby’s life closed twice before his end. The poem “My Life Closed Twice Before Its Close” parallels Gatsby’s life in multiple ways. In both Gatsby’s life and Emily Dickinson’s life there are events that “close” their life upon two occasions. Both of their lives are left unassured if a third event will close their lives again, this time possibly for good. Gatsby and the narrator of the poem are left baffled as to how such egregious events occurred, upon two occasions. Finally, they both…

During the nineteen twenties, America experienced an unprecedented period of spending and wealth. This period of time was also one which gave us many literary classics including The Great Gatsby and also A Rose for Emily. These two stories while very different offer a glimpse into the mindset created during that time. Within the stories is an interesting use of characterization, metaphors, and setting. These simple literary devices create a deep and complex world which we continue to look…

He played along, as she knew he would, and it prompted an even wider smile mixed with smirk from her. She'd come a long way since her childhood and Nebraska, sometimes she wondered what her grandpa would think of the Isabella Viore she grew into. Part of her thought he'd be in disbelief that people follow her with cameras and her face was so well-known, but a better part of her knew he always expected her to do great things. Getting the back of her hand kissed as fans looked on just felt…
