Rump

Raising his head and shoulders, Charity slipped closer and laid his head in her lap. She dipped the spoon in the liquid and encouraged him to take it. After he had sipped the liquid off the spoon, she handed the bowl back to Martha, telling her to be sure and put it where the children could not get a hold of it. She knew that she should move out of the way because Jackson could experience hallucinations, or worse; he could become unruly and thrust about; however, she was not about to leave him.…

Millions of individuals in America are believed to be obese. As our mid-sections continue to expand, populaces are asking the same question: Who is at fault? Have American’s become lethargic and more negligent with their food choices? Are fast food restaurant to blame? When you pull up to any drive thru window the little voice in the box says “welcome to burger town, may I take your order?” As you finish telling that magical little box your order that same little voice will repeat everything…

“It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets.” (Voltaire) This quote by Voltaire embodies his extreme disposition against war. Voltaire has always been a large proponent in the anti-war movements in eighteenth century England. His disposition against war is clearly displayed in his novel “Candide.” Voltaire utilizes the techniques of comparison, satire, imagery, and dichotomy to display the many idiosyncrasies and…

his shirt and pants were riddled with holes, even from the back of him. The gun belt he wore low on his hips was in fair condition, so Vern rolled it up and tucked it into one of his saddlebags before he reached down to sling the boy’s body over the rump of his horse. Lastly, he decided to take a look at the young fellow’s pistol. He had seen a good-looking rifle tucked into his saddle, but the horse had run off after it lost its rider. From where he was standing a few feet away, he could see…

innocence. To continue, in “Everyday Use” Walker can develop the conflict through setting by using imagery as well. When Dee arrives at the house she describes the benches of the table; “’I never knew how lovely these benches are. You can feel the rump prints,’” (Everyday Use 7). This little line of imagery develops the narrator’s dislike of her daughter’s new way of life since she is trying too hard to appreciate her heritage when she didn’t do so before. This demonstrates the conflict of…

The great majority of Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston revolves around Black characters in essentially all Black communities. Despite the oppression of Blacks in America continuing long into the 20th century, Janie’s oppression is hardly on the grounds of her race. Though race is a central basis of the novel, Janie is often mistreated and oppressed due to her gender, not her race. The majority of Black Americans in the early 1900’s yearned for civil rights above all else,…

Amanda Ford Ms. Drosdick Language Arts, per. 6 12/26/17 Roald Dahl. 26 years after his death, and almost everyone knows the name Roald Dahl. In life he was nicknamed the children's champion, and for good reason. His wonderfully fantastical children's books have fueled the imaginations of generations of children; If you've never read Roald Dahl, then you've never had a childhood. Although more well known for his books, his poetry is no less impressive, and this is proved by "Television", a piece…

Nuchal translucency (NT) is the sonographic appearance of the subcutaneous accumulation of fluid behind the fetal neck in the first trimester of pregnancy. NT is measured between 11 to 13 weeks gestation with the optimal measurement of crown-rump (the length of an embryo or fetus measured from the skull vertex to the midpoint between the apices of the buttocks10) of 45 mm to 84 mm. Most fetuses can be viewed transabdominally scan, while some need additional transvaginal examination2. The…

The way she looks is probably classic of the retro "mod" time period. Dee and her friend come in and sit down to eat dinner. The next imagery comes in when Dee realizes how amazing the benches are, on which they are sitting. She describes the "rump prints" (879) they feel. She describes the butter churn in a similar way with the thumb prints in the top. Both of these images convey the thought of the use of these…

Steve Jobs once said, “As individuals, people are inherently good. I have a somewhat more pessimistic view of people in groups.” This quote means that he thinks individuals are inherently good, but when people are in a group they aren’t inherently good. A topic of debate among mankind for an extremely long time is if humans as a race are inherently good or inherently evil. Many philosophers have argued for inherently evil, and many for inherently good. A person’s environment and upbringing plays…
