Hurrying

Andrew Barton Paterson was a free spirit iconic to Australia. Paterson was born near Orange in 1864 in the country side. When he was five they moved to Yass into a property inherited from his uncle. Paterson spent most of his childhood on his farm and loved to watch the drovers on horseback make their way around the Murrimbidgee and Snowy Mountains. When Paterson was able to ride a horse he began going to the local school where he learnt about pioneering stories from others, until he was ten and…

1. a. My data demonstrated the law of conservation of mass in part 5 of the experiment, dissolving sugar in water. The law of conservation mass states that matter cannot be created or destroyed by can enter or leave the system. The system’s change in mass was 0.00 grams, resulting in support of this statement. The balance had an uncertainty of 0.05 grams. b. With this experiment, we had a closed environment within the vial, not allowing any particles to come in or out, further explaining why…

Filled with bantering and arguing between the two feuding families—the Montagues and Capulets, filled with hate, recklessness, no consideration, no internal monologue, no self-consciousness about engaging in violence, no reflection before execution, Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet embodies the dangerous excessiveness of impetuous actions; the characters do not is no question the world around them and the consequences that their actions cause. Because of rash decision-making, the events in the…

into a furious rage, grabbing the nearest item she could find and throwing it at Mr. Vines head with all her might. Mr. Vines face turned cold as ice as he slowly took his last breath, Rhea’s identity unleashed upon him. Rhea calmed herself before hurrying out of the house as fast as she could. She knew it was too…

“Zoë, darling, come here. Don’t go near that man,” the mother’s voice is drenched in disgust as she eyes me suspiciously, avoiding my glacial stare. Oh, the kindness of strangers. My fingertips are the cold colour of the dusking, January sky. The streets of New York are swarming with absorbed souls, all caged by their own thoughts. I hang on to words spoken by strangers, attempting to distract myself from the piercing wind, numbing my bones. You could say I’m a regular. Baptised on the streets…

what we are blessed with in America. Seeing the millions of people crowding the cities of China really puts one’s own life into perspective. Most of us see ourselves as the “main hero” of our own life story. When I saw that many people in one place—hurrying, doing yoga, talking with people—it made me realize I’m not the “main hero” like I thought I was. At the age of thirteen, those crowds taught me that each life is a precious gift, and that each person is just as complex and complicated as…

dad. As soon as I walked out I noticed to a horrific stench. I notice that was the smell of the city and I will just have to become accustomed to it. I look around and notice skyscrapers as high as the the eye can see. The streets were filled with hurrying workers and homeless people. I thought to myself how am I going to find my dad in a city with 25 million people in it. The first place I decided to look was find my…

cut shorter "Books cut shorter. Condensations. Digests. Tabloids. Everything boils down to the gag, the snap ending." (Page 52) For example many people use shortcuts on computers using faster ways to do things, it also shows how people are always hurrying and quickly read a short magazine than actually sitting down and reading a book. Another example is on the internet when looking something up takes less than seconds to find and we tend to get frustrated when it takes longer than that. We also…

In the play, “Romeo and Juliet”, by William Shakespeare, a priest named Friar Laurence gives a touching speech just before Romeo and Juliet get married. The speech is about moderation in all things. Friar Laurence gave this speech during the renaissance in the summer at his cell. His cell was a room in which people would come and confess their sins to him. This speech, given to two star-crossed lovers by their priest gave advice about taking your time. William Shakespeare was a successful…

I knelt in front of the cross, water spraying off the rigid rocks. I twisted the backpack around my arm and reached for the slip of paper. I read aloud the words of my heart and placed the paper underneath the Lily I had picked from the meadow just outside of Baron. My son and I had never had the close father-son relationship I had hoped for; I had never bonded with him the way he had with his mother. I sat down against the boulder lodged between two rocks, and shut my eyes. I thought back on…
