Rancid

States with hopes of living the American dream. They are fooled into believing the government’s warm words about capitalism. Yet, when they arrive they describe Chicago to be dirty and smelly. “It is an elemental odor, raw and crude; it is rich, almost rancid, sensual and strong (Sinclair, 28)”. Sinclair’s ideas contrast what Carnegie believes is vital to a successful government, economy, and life. To begin, hard work does not always pay off in the end in this scenario. Hard work is required to…

I’m happy. I really am truly happy. I know the catalyst that brought about this happiness, but since it changed so much of my life I don’t know what individual change truly is causing my blissful contentment. Either way I do not wish to tie up my happiness and poke and prod it to figure it out. I’d rather just revel in it and experience my peace since I know it can’t last for long. At least not here, not like this. I sit in the long grass as I feel my skin absorbing the sun. The grass prickles…

Long-leafed plants blocked the way, forcing him to part them. A rancid smell hit him, which filled his lungs. The smell caused him to throw up the little food that they had eaten the day before on the ground next to his feet. After he finally recovered, he stood up, wanting to see where the smell came from which…

The night, cold and young, was motionless.

A woman changing in her room with the window opened screamed when she saw it for a split second, before being torn to…

The usual rancid smell of cigarette smoke, alcohol and other things of which I don't want to name, hit my nostrils has soon as I enter the bar. Used the familiar stench, I don't gag or choke like most of the teenagers that, unfortunately, find themselves here. I find my usual seat in the back left corner of the bar, farthest away from public eye. I casually walk there, while taking off my black leather jacket. No matter how hard I try to blend into the crowd, I will still be thrown the accusing…

unbelievably. I felt my hands begin to shake. My lungs weren’t filling with nearly enough air. My vision was blurring like I wore sunglasses for three days and had taken them off at noon. My mouth began to fill with saliva, and I heaved disgustingly. Rancid tastes began in the back of my throat, and worked their way into my mouth. I had yet to move my hands. The small space between my cheeks and palms began to fill with water. A horrible groan rose from my chest, spilling out of my mouth and…

locals, they are told it is a labor camp and are given false promises of fair treatment. Once again, the Jews, now prisoners, are led to believe that everything will fine. The trains move beyond barbed wire gates and are greeted by chimney’s and a rancid odor pumped into the midnight sky. They would later discover that it was the smell of burnt human flesh. They have made their arrival at Birkenau, the processing center for arriving Jews at Auschwitz. In Night, Wiesel reveals how far humans will…

Athenian religion. “spend their time tending to the improving of the soul” and claimed that “no artist can communicate the nature of divinity”; all of this goes to reveal that Socrates definitely felt a connection to gods especially when he smashed the rancid statues of the goddesses Three Graces (The Trial of Socrates 33-34) (Socrates…
