When looking at objects that tell the story of my life, there does not seem to be a lot to choose from. I was an only child of a single parent. That being said the most memorable part would have been moving to Colorado and seeing the mountains for the first time at a young age. I remember the first time I saw Pikes Peak, how I was in shock and awe over how spectacular a natural formation coming from the Earth could be, as I have never seen anything quite like it before. The mountains span as far as our eyes could see and could we could see them from a great distance away. The one part about seeing the Pikes Peak I will always remember was the fact it was summer time when I first saw them, and there was snow on the Peak. I did not realize how much of an impact on my life the mountains had until I moved back to South Dakota. Not only did it give me a sense of direction growing up, it was always a pleasure to look out my window every moving and see a marvelous site.…

the end of the rope. “Beyond this place of wrath and tears looms but the horror of the shade, and yet the menace of the years finds and shall find me unafraid”- Invictus like in the poem Invictus, I was no longer afraid.

Heaney’s poems ‘Blackberry Picking’ and ‘Death of a Naturalist’ are both about insignificant events in his time. Both poems share similar themes: life, loss of childhood innocence and expectations and disappointment. The themes were conveyed through Heaney’s manipulation of the poem structure and his use of deliberately picked words and phrases. In this essay, I will be discussing about how his use of the poem structure and language expresses the themes of the two poems. Firstly, the poem…

We pulled the fish in the boat and took a good amount of pictures before returning it to the water. My grandfather said “wow That…
