Being raised on a farm in such a rural area such as Monroe County, West Virginia meant learning how to use a firearm was almost more of a necessity than a passion. However, for myself it happened to be both. I love to hunt all sorts of game such as: deer, squirrel, turkey, and dove to name a few. Hunting all these animals obviously requires the use of several different types and calibers of guns. My dad, a gun enthusiast as well, taught me from a very young age the dangers of a firearm as…

Many great authors, from Shakespeare to J.K. Rowling, have used ‘foil’ characters, or characters who have a great contrast and opposition, in order to get their points across. Some authors may want to show that dogs are better than cats, while other may want to show that simplicity is key, in addition to a countless amount of other thought and ideas, but none the less these contrasting characters give great emphasis to their argument. In Yukio Mishima’s The Sound of Waves, the foil characters,…

the offspring of the scientists who had occupied the waterfront, but the jellyfish in their buckets were pretty much alike—formless, colorless blobs about the size of mice. They were blind and brainless, possessing only mouths, muscles, and weak stingers, and one more thing, of enormous interest to Shimomura—rims of punctate green light that ran around their bodies like salt around the edge of a cocktail glass. That first summer in Friday Harbor, in the early sixties, Shimomura and his wife…

is that one orca might daintily lure the ray out of its hiding place, then another orca swoops in and delivers a fatal bite to the ray’s head. The third way is one orca will pin the ray down to the ocean floor upside down, and another plucks the stinger out of the ray with its teeth, then kills the ray (“three-amazing-orca-hunting-strategies”). All of these hunting methods are always with more than one orca attacking, which relates to one of the reasons why orcas hunt and live in pods. Another…

That night, I went to bed and my mind was racing. Our plan was set in place. As the clock struck midnight, I quickly snuck out of bed and got dressed. I was so anxious. I wanted to be ready at a moment’s notice. It took less than two minutes to put on a thermal shirt, a sweater, jeans, and heavy wool socks. I laid on my bed, staring at the ceiling, counting down the minutes. At 12:50 on the dot, I heard muffled noises outside my window. I sat up and looked outside. There was James and his…

The rest of the introduction should summarize (or at least introduce) the key points of the rest of the piece. Historical Background (M+Z)…
