Smell

opening guitar sounds eerily similar to the opening guitar of everyone’s “favorite” Nirvana song, “Smells Like Teen Spirit”. The enormous amount of fame that came with “Smells Like Teen Spirit” heavily bothered Kurt Cobain, so the irony of a song called “Rape Me” sounding similar to “Smells Like Teen Spirit” is quite clear. At concerts following the release of Nevermind, if he was forced to play “Smells Like Teen Spirit”, he would deliberately jumble the lyrics, play the guitar badly, and at…

In the poem, there is a father and son and it shows that the father kind of becomes rough with him due to the fact he has been drinking. The speaker (the son) is reflecting on the events that happen on the evening before his father put him to bed. His bonding time with his father before bed and how they would interact in a way that may seem rough but loving at the same time. And due to his father drinking, he can't seem to control his actions and seems to be uncoordinated. Because in lines four…

What if we could evaluate the genetic potential of lovers? What if we could use smell to find the perfect partner?” (A. D. Raby 2013). This is going to sound very weird, but when I read the question about what if we could use smell to find our partner?, I related to it. It made me wonder and think about dogs, and how they use smell to identify other dogs. Just by using smell, they can even recognize dogs that have been there in the same spot before and now they are not. These…

page thirty-seven with “Immediately after the bird strike the cabin filled with a slight haze of smoke and a smell that gave almost everyone the shivers. Ricardo Valeriano described it as “a distinct smell of jet fuel, burning hair, and burning flesh. It’s a concoction you never want to smell in your life, especially when you’re on an airplane.” This transports you to the cabin and the smell of the burning geese. Descriptive language is used after the plane landed and when people were in the…

stopped using PCP, cocaine, and amphetamines he began having withdrawal symptoms like most do, one of which presented him dreams in which he was a dog and all smells were surprisingly poignant as a dog would smell. After waking from these dreams his sense of smell was enhanced in real life just as it was; after around three weeks his smell would go back to normal. Tests were not necessary in this study because there was in fact nothing to test, but going off of the information given Dr. Sacks…

couch in silence and imagine hearing his voice again. Although he is actually gone, the cabin always makes me feel connected to him. The left part of the back wall is covered in my height measurements that he marked over the years. The wall still smells like fresh sharpie marks. Also, the right section of the back wall is home to a small, round window. The glass has a hairline crack, because my Great-Grandfather elbowed it while trying to move his recliner. As I gaze out the window, I can hear…

the gifts. I also like what's inside the gifts. Every year we get a real tree, we like the full taller ones. I don't know why just one year we saw one and just have got one ever since. The tree has the best smell ever right as I walk in to my house I smell it. It's like pine, it smells really good. My sister comes down every year for Christmas she's about to be 18 so this year will probably be her last year with us tell she goes to college. She still…

If I had to lose any of my five sense I would lose my sense of smell. It’s not a matter of what sense I want to lose but which four senses I would want to keep the most. I listen to music every single day, on my way to school, when I’m doing homework, when I’m at home as a type of pastime; I would simply not be able to live my life without enjoying music. To lose my sense of touch I would not be able to feel the warmth of my blankets on cold nights or feel the hugs I receive from my mother or…

” Cameron 182. My second prediction was Bailey ever going to see Ethan again in the future? I predicted this because when he was a pup again, he recognized a familiar smell from when he was Bailey. “ Jasper’s smell tracked right up to a large white trailer, a pile of grit and hay beneath it.” Cameron 289. When he followed the smell to a place he has been before in a previous life, it was the farm. Low and behold he found Ethan, but he looked different. Ethan adopted Buddy and they lived until…

The five senses are the important, but some people take them for granted. If I had to choose one to live without I'd choose taste. In 2005, Duncan Boak lost his sense of smell after a brain injury. Since smell and taste are closely linked his taste was impacted as well. "It's so hard to explain but losing your sense of smell leaves you feeling like a spectator in your own life, as if you're watching from behind a pane of glass, it makes you feel not fully immersed in the world around you and it…
