In the Air Tonight

36 perfect red roses. I noticed an envelope with a birthday card in the middle of the bouquet. The card said “Happy Birthday Julieta my love, I want you to make this day special as possible for you, so I will take you out to dinner to Olive Garden tonight. Be ready by 6 p.m. Yours, David.” It was the sweetest message I received. Although, Olive Garden wouldn’t be my first choice restaurant for my birthday dinner but it was my husband’s favorite place to eat out. After making a birthday…

As Kheiron tilted to the right, ascending on an updraft, I gripped him tightly with my knees and saw that the kingdom was an enchanted island—each territory astonishing, and yet so different from the other. There was a…

characters that in return create a sense of amazement. In the story “Night Women”,the mother,a fascinating woman, is a prostitute because she has no money to support herself and her son. She hates her job but has no other choice. “Tonight I am much older than the twenty five years i have lived. The night is the time i dread most in my life . Yet if I am to live I must depend on it”(Danticat 83). It is surprising that the mother would do such a thing in the same room as…

Yes, the journey was a long one. No, it did not happen overnight. I believe that it was their hope, father time, and karma that assisted them in their venture since they knew that “Change was coming”. With the verse: “And in the air the fireflies Our only light in paradise” This exemplifies that fireflies do not exert much light; in this case, hope.

their bodies at least 20-30 feet into the air as they were ejected from the ride as it was swinging and spinning around. Terrified witnesses watched as the riders slammed to the concrete ground. Dr. David Evans of OSU Medical Center explained "multiple passengers were ejected at high speed" then "crashed at a significant distance from the ride."

During this time, the German army sent a series of air raids to wreak destruction upon the people of England. Feminist author and Englishwoman, Virginia Woolf, writes an inductively persuasive essay in order to convey her view on the foundation of war, which she believes to be the freedom trapped within the mindset of society. Woolf crafts the text using symbolic stream of consciousness, analogies…

to show how controlling the Chilean government is being and that communism is not the evil they are making it out to be. The reader can interpret him eating with the farmers as him hiding in the country side like they could picture themselves in “Tonight I write the saddest lines”. Another excerpt from “Canto General is, “turn to the world rising above the foliage higher than the sequoias.” This statement from his poem could be viewed as how his country is taking over his communist party or…
