In "words are birds" Francisco X. Alarcón uses many metaphors comparing words to birds to suggest that words, although many and vastly different, all fall under one category and unite us all. The poem begins by giving the reader an overview of how words and birds are related: "words / are birds / that arrive / with books / and spring" (1-5).

I came, violin in hand, ready to play “In Christ Alone”. As I moved my bow along the strings, I felt as if no one even heard me. I finished, but no one clapped. I felt hopeless.

“Tip Tap Tip Tap”. I hear the same cat-like clicking noise coming from behind the door to my right as I open my eyes groggily. “Click” I hear the door turn and open. As the noise gets closer to me, I notice the white sleeves of a long button-down shirt from my peripheral vision and immediately close my eyes, pretend to sleep and pray that I receive liberation from the painful prison. And as I hear my mother speaking with the scary man, I remember wondering why his lab coat was white. Growing up,…

Ever since I was a child, music has been a big and valuable part of my life. Not only has it been a source of my entertainment and ambitions. It has allowed me to express myself when I have been depressed or heartbroken from a past relationship in which words or feeling cannot explain. In addition, even when the flood waters were entering my home during the two thousand sixteen Baton Rouge flood, my first reaction was to protect my family and preserve my instruments. Nothing else mattered. On…

Catherine came to fetch me from the confinement cells in deep under the Ark Tower. “You are lucky,” she said handing me a fresh, grey-collared Arksuit. “Andies suspected of suffering from layering psychosis are usually recalled on the spot.

Once you are dressed I will escort you to the testing facility.” We took…
