Hit Him Again

Selfish Love “…just tell him the truth – that you never loved him – and it’s all wiped out forever.” This was a quote from Jay Gatsby pleading Daisy Buchanan to declare that she never loved her husband, Tom Buchanan. In the novel “The Great Gatsby” by F. Scott Fitzgerald, it’s very debatable who the most self-centered character of the story was. It could be Tom, who just used Daisy has a safety net for when his side relationships failed, or it could be Gatsby who wanted Daisy all to himself…

Based on physical, as well as written evidence, it would be completely fallacious to infer that Queenie Volupides did not murder her own husband. The text implies that the night of her husband’s death, Queenie had a small argument with her husband.

As part of human nature, one often tends to run away from their problems, whether they be significantly large or microscopically…

what I learned about humanity was that, people sometimes step up, but most people don’t. There was this white male trying to take a bike, most everyone just walked past, but every once in a while, somebody stepped up. People were even trying to help him cut the chain. The black male was very different. Mostly everyone that walked by had something to say about it, a lot more than the white male. Then we switch on to the white female. Everyone helped her. No-one came up to her and asked things…

waiting for a reply but she wasn’t paying any attention while she started to prepare for the storm. Ten minutes have passed and the dogs are still outside, my mother finally told me to let the dogs inside. “Let the dogs inside now, the storm is going to hit soon we don't want our dogs outside right now.” I did as she ordered…

swerving at an incredibly fast speed. Dodging the first car parked on the street and went into my front door neighbor’s lawn, slamming parallel to his white Chevrolet trucked parked in his driveway. Terrified, the driver slowly backed up into the street again. I could see my neighbor’s truck was completely dented on the side and it managed to cause the front tire to explode and the rim hitting the floor. He stalled for a little and slowly moved more and more forward; I knew he was starting…
