The Attic Door

suit on and I patiently waited for my father to tell me to start the car. I hoped that he would not wake up, or that it would be an eternity before he actually ordered me to do this task. He finally asked me to start the car. As I walked out the front door, I felt needles hitting my face. I turned the car on and my father came out quickly. I got in the passenger seat and we drove off in route towards the car auction in Denver. I must have snoozed off because the next…

Trends, ideas, and perspectives come and go, but timeless themes are evident throughout time, forever youthful, yet old at the same time. Timeless themes are eternally relevant concepts in classic and contemporary literature that can be connected by everyone, regardless of their age, their lifestyle, or their time period. The theme on the importance of others occurs repeatedly over time in thousands of different kinds of literature. Especially now with the our world brimming with superficial…

The Beatles, and The Jimi Hendrix Experience had gained a massive following from young people all over America in just a few years. But, none of those groups stormed the culture of the time quite like The Doors did in 1967. According to Mick Wall, after only one album and less than year, The Doors had quickly gained popularity comparable to that of the Beatles in a fraction of the time. Why was this? Perhaps…

Although “things can go awry” (1), by not having good signal and not being able to reach these students and staff. I agree with Motoko on installing “automatic locking mechanisms for dormitory and classroom doors” (1), it’s a way to keep a gunman away from hurting students. Locking the doors will keep the gunman lock and not being able to move around the campus. I have being on a situation where I was locked at home. Back in El Salvador my mom used to go for grocery and leave me and my siblings…

can’t help but feel lonely, there are so many people here, yet nobody is around. I feel trapped, like I am at the bottom of a deep pit, and there is no way out. I have not taken a breath of fresh air in so long, the windows are sealed shut, and the doors are blocked. I long for the…

The only problem with the doors in the classroom is that they cannot be locked from the inside and don’t have a window placed on the doors to know who is knocking if it is ever locked. Both the professor and the students are putting their life in danger by opening the door without knowing who is behind it. This is a risky move to make because without knowing who is knocking the professor or students must open the door for the unknown person. If the attacker was in the campus…

scratching sound coming from the back door. An uneasy feeling flooded her body. Her heart started beating fast, and she could feel a rush of blood filling her head. Dizziness set in. Should she open the door? Should she call someone? Who could she call? There was no one in the area she knew. She grabbed a broom handle that had been leaning against the wall. “Not much of a weapon, but I guess it will have to do,” she said quietly to herself. Laura walked uneasily toward the door. The scratching…

beautiful daughter who had his whole heart. In this political system one must come to the arena and choose a door. Out one door would come a lady to whom you would immediately marry. Out the other door would come a furious tiger that would more than likely rip you to shreds. They believed that if you were guilty the tiger would come out, and if you were innocent the maiden would come out of the door you choose. This leads me to my next point. The king’s daughter was just as imperious as he was.…

The sound of trains There is an elevated railway above the street that is used for the presentation. The train is invisible from the sight of the passenger in the vehicle. When the distance between the vehicle and the coach becomes tight, the sound inside the carriage is displayed from the car stereo. The location of the rail line is reproducing based on the transport timetable. Therefore, the announcement inside the passenger car and broadcasting in the railway platform, which flies out from…

Whisking Margaret’s unconscious body into my arms, I steadily began to inch my way towards the back door in escape. However, the task was daunting. Traveling to Margaret alone was one thing; although, traveling back, amidst the intensifying search of spiritual thieves, with a comatose woman’s arms dangling amongst the floor, and having to ensure that one did not accidently bump into a chair, thus calling all attention to ourselves, made the situation a bit more problematic. Nevertheless, I…
