“They told me to take a street-car named Desire, and then transfer to one called Cemeteries and ride six blocks and get off at-Elysian Fields” (Williams 95). In Tennessee Williams’ A Streetcar Named Desire Blanche Dubois’ doom is hinted in the first scene when she asks if she has arrived at Elysian Fields. It is very clear that her desires are associated with sex and alcohol, however, it is questionable if the Cemeteries was the death of her relatives in Belle Reve or her own demise, and if her…

Living in Azle, Texas has some benefits and some drawbacks. One benefit is that you live close to Eagle Mountain Lake. One of the drawbacks is you have to travel Highway 199 to get just about anywhere. Another benefit to me is that Azle is a little more of a country atmosphere than the rest of the Metroplex. You can see hay fields, cows and occasionally someone riding a horse down the side of the road. A big drawback to living I n Azle is that there are not a lot of good jobs so a lot of people…

Currently I am living in Marshall so; the idea of taking a break and visiting Galveston…

“American blood on American soil”, said President Polk when he appeared before congress and this was the start of the Mexican-American war according to the US history books. There are many different stories on why the war started but in the United States the story states that the Mexicans are the people to blame and hence the name: the Mexican-American War. Before this war had begun Americans forget that there was natives who first lived the lands they took over. This means that those people…
