with loneliness again. All she would have to do to feel comfort is hold the metal in her hands. If that isn’t enough, she can pull the trigger and never have to feel alone again. Such a simple solution it serves for the one thing that lived in her bones for so long. With the gun at her side, she even finds it easier to laugh and interact with others. Her savior has freed her. How sad that Flora Belle’s hope and joy stems from the cold touch of an inanimate object. The gun will never return her…

extremely pissed because I thought my mom had sent him over to check on me to see if I had any guys spending the night due to the fact that my brother and my dad were in Berkley. So I tried calling her phone over and over again ready to yell at her for what I accused her of doing. She never picked up her phone so I dropped it for the moment and went on with my dad. I decided to take a shower and make some brownies for when my brother and my dad. They weren’t supposed to come until late that…

Unfortunately, I was never able to attain that dream. For my American dream became one that had to be deferred. When the opportunity arise again for me to go to college it was a sacrifice I was willing to take. I was married with child, I was employed in New York City, lived in the Bronx and travelled by bus one hour and thirty minutes to get to school. I was excited and determined to do the best that I could. Then, after one year I had to stop for medical reasons. I was crushed and my dream…

football again my junior year but it just didn’t sound like the greatest thing. I was really focusing on basketball which is still my favorite sport so I decided against it. But, after my junior year I decided to play football again and give it another shot. I have always loved football but I decided not to play in high school because I didn’t think I’d be good considering how small I was. But now that I am not too small anymore, my perspective has changed and I decided to try it out again. And…

happened between the two. The kiss ended up turning desperate and the rapper pulled away. "Shit, I'm sorry.." his whisper was husky and rough. Damn, he wanted to continue kissing him but it just never ended up happy between them. Yoongi was tired of constantly hurting his past lover. "I.. I want to kiss you again but, I don't want to hurt you anymore." He honestly said. His hands reluctantly pulled away and he scratched the back of his neck. "God, have all I've done to you is hurt you? I can't…

The story skips a lot over time to different parts in her life, "She was sick for a long time. When we saw her again" (Faulkner 147) "When we next saw Miss Emily" (Faulkner 147). Faulkner tries to characterize Emily's seclusion through her actions. When her father died a lot of time passed until we saw her again, and when her relationship ended, again more time passed before we saw her again. Even though her father was a main key in her seclusion, her southern pride did not help either. "None of…

the pain of the whip cracked against your back pales in comparison to when your prick of a master sells your family away from you, and you never have a chance of seeing them again (“The Life of a Slave” 1). The pain of that situation never ends. Not only do you know they are alone and will never sit with you again, laugh with you again, and cry with you again, you also think of how they will struggle at their new plantation as a forced migrant, not accustomed to the plantation labor that awaited…
