Hurrying

Ellis Island I walked noislessly through the market, listening to the nearly silent whispers that were surrounding me. The daily conversations of the Polish citizens still consisted of the New World, even though Ellis Island has been accepting immigrants for over 62 years. It seems like an amazing place. A place where the streets are paved with gold, and poverty was a word that simply wasn't in the Americans vocabulary. Ellis Island was the “Isle of Hope,” and it was every person's dream to…

Today! It is today! “We are leaving TODAY!!” I cried out. Out of the bed I flew, quickly changed and ready to get into the car to drive to the airport. Whereas my parents were slowly getting ready, claiming we “had time”. Dad caught me as I was hurrying around the house. “Slow down honey! We aren’t leaving for another fifteen minutes!” “Fifteen! Can’t we just leaving now? We have everything! And Kari is ready even!” My little sister gazed up at dad as if confirming what I had said. “Why…

Bottom of the ninth. Two outs, nobody on. Lucas Giles, senior superstar at Richmond High School, peered into his catcher and took the sign to throw his dominating two strike curveball, buried in the dirt. The opposing batter took a big hack but came up three feet short. The Lions piled out of the dugout and rushed to the mound to celebrate a feat they hadn’t accomplished in nearly two decades, winning the New York state championship. Growing up in the Queens, Lucas was born into a life of…

Only half an hour to go. The clicking noise of the sewing machines pounded, hammering away at the headache I always got towards the end of the day. My hands were heavier and I longed to be rid of the claustrophobic tables. “Did you hear that Violet in our building got engaged to a man in Virginia? I envy her for she plans to move with him after their marriage in the fall,” the girl sitting next to me blurted out. Beckie lived in the same building as me and was quite a plethora of information. I…

Willy realized that he could cover the main exhaust and make the engine combust. Willy found a large piece of sheet metal and a screw gun to enact his plan. First he bent the metal to fit the pipe, then used the screw gun to fasten it into place. Hurrying to find a way off the ship, Willy rushed back the way he came to the hangar. He ran down the hall almost being caught before he could duck into a room and watch the hangar for an opportunity to steal another UFO. When he saw a break in the…

“And, I love you, Charlotte Monroe. Don’t you leave me.” “Never,” she sighed pressing her lips against lips once more before hurrying away. Bass and Connor found a seat up front, as all manner of sounds came from the covered ring and then the tarp was falling to the floor. Bass took one look and jumped to his feet wrapping his hands around the bars of the cage. “No!” he screamed…

Yet, Yeats’ vision of authentic Irish identity was still revolutionary in its own way. He outlines his vision in his piece ‘Irish Fairies,’ published in 1890 in the early years of the Revival. In this piece, Yeats focuses on the life of the Irish peasantry and contrasts their simplistic, pastoral lifestyle with modernizing forces, such as industrialization. He begins by asserting that “the Irish peasantry still believe in fairies,” though no one believes he is telling the truth. Yeats is…

In the present day, it requires no exertion for an association to go under the disorder and vanish. With the cost of publicizing rising, many are turning towards advertising in the trusts of making it to the top. The adequacy of this train is sketchy. This exposition would like to set up that advertising is a successful substitute to publicizing. The cost of publicizing is expanding alongside the quantity of notices present surrounding us, consistently. The quantity of commercials a normal…

the scaffold with Dimmesdale. Now with both sinners on the scaffold and the scarlet letter between them a change in mood takes place in Dimmesdale, “ a tumultuous rush of new life, other life than his own, pouring like a torrent into his heart, and hurrying through all his veins”(126). Now Dimmesdale shares Hester’s sin but he still can’t bring himself to endure it publicly. Pearl asks Dimmesdale to appear on the scaffold in front of everyone but he replies with, “Nay; not so my little Pearl… At…

The woman behind the HeLa cells, Henrietta Lacks, holds relevant today and forever. The unethical acts of the scientific and public health community lead to consequences that create a lasting impact on affected communities. Henrietta’s story and other immoral research practices have left a stain on the way disadvantaged groups view medicine, doctors, and public health. This stain will lead to a decrease in the efficacy of their healthcare and in turn hinder them even further. Henrietta’s cells…
