feelings for the woman considering that he has not developed them yet. However, towards the middle of the poem, Marvell confesses that there is not enough time and there is pressure. He states, “but at my back I always hear Time’s wingѐd chariot hurrying near; and yonder all before us lie deserts of vast eternity” (Marvell 21-24).

Hero’s Journey CALL TO ACTION Blip. Blip. Buzz. Text messages one after another came on Asian Name’s iPhone screen. They read, “Where are you? We’re waiting! Don’t forget the vodka!

Her narrow, oblong face with prominent cheekbones and that small cleft chin were so abhorrent. Her slit-like eyes were mere dabs of royal blue that sat below her excessively thick, dark,…

The weight of the heart that has been occupied by guilt can be considered as a heavy burden for an individual. Corrupted by his unwillingness to do the righteous action, he becomes indecisive since there is a high possibility of becoming ridiculed by his society.

Arthur Dimmesdale seems to have no consideration regarding the punishment of his lover, Hester Prynne, who has given birth to his child. Throughout the novel,…

I sat on a stool in the kitchen and visited with Mrs. Rice while the knife and steel flashed back and forth. "Ziiick, ziiick, ziiick.” (add quotation mark) Much practice allowed me the luxury of operating on autopilot. As I worked, I glanced into a nearby trash can where I noticed a small book.

Catholicism is a religious organization to bring the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the people, and helps people follow the Gospel of Jesus Christ in order to attain a better life in heaven.

I turn on the sink and splash my face with the ice cold water, turning off the sink I look into the mirror,and grimace.
