The Circular Ruins

and the same plants, with the same financial resources, in the same commercial situation, the same board of directors, and the same personal that the company raises again to this moment. Therefore, some administrative methods leave the company to its ruin; other methods give it its prosperity back. Work, experience, knowledge and good will of several thousands of people had been sterilized by some dysfunctional administrative process. And other administrative processes emphasize all its…

tires were new, and a brass padlock stood straight out from the hasp on the big black doors. Inside the screened restaurant a radio played, quiet dance music turned low the way it is when no one is listening. A small outlet fan turned silently in its circular hole over the entrance, and flies buzzed excitedly about the doors and windows, butting the screens. Inside, one man, the truck driver, sat on a stool and rested his elbows on the counter…

irregular gaps and pauses in the text, as the voice is simple-minded, and tired, fitting the mood. On the other hand, if you look at the poem sideways, it looks a lot like the breaking waves of a Caribbean coastline, washing in and out. The poem would ruin it’s atmosphere if everything was blocky and chunky, and Grace Nichols knew that, and so structured the poem to be soft, foamy, and liquid. This poem is extremely well done, as the poet has thought of everything she could do to build up the…

There are three things that all gentlemen fear. A night without a moon. A storm in the sea. And the anger of a gentlemen. But there is a new thing that should be added to that list, the death, or almost death, of a loved one and someone you hold close to your heart. There was one point where I experienced one of my friends getting stabbed. He almost died, but another friend helped him. Like the play ‘Romeo and Juliet’ took a course over three days. Mine, only happened over the course of thirty…

Physical Evidence One of the main types of physical evidence is that of our fingerprints. We carry around our own unique maps of swirls and ridges on our fingertips, thus enabling judges and juries to use fingerprints in deciding our innocence and guilt in a court of law (Sealey, 2016). Fingerprints are the most incriminating type of evidence that can be used in a criminal case. Fingerprints are one of the most reliable forms of identification, because no two people have the same…

her breasts. Her hair is up and she is wearing some sort of red cap. Her skin is fair and her cheeks are red. She is barefooted and is holding the French flag in the air in her right hand and a rifle with a bayonet in her left. Beneath her is the ruins of some building destroyed in battle and the bodies of fallen soldiers. The sun is shining down on her causing her to stand out in the midst of battle. To the right of Lady Liberty is a young boy. His skin is darker than hers and he has short…

The lowest section was rectangular and measured about 180 feet in height. This section has cylindrical core with a circular ramp that led to the top of the lighthouse. There were rooms for the soldiers and workers living around the ramp. Above the rectangular section there was an octagonal-shaped section that was about 90 feet high and it was smaller than the first section…

Over an apocalyptic battlefield in the year 2029, the ruins of the city of Los Angeles are dominated by robotic war machines, some like tanks, others are hovercrafts, a title card tells us that in the future, humans will wage a long war against an enemy known as the Machines. The "final battle" however, will not be fought in this future world, but in the past, specifically our present... tonight. The year switches to Los Angeles, May 12, 1984 at 1:34 am. At the Griffith Park Observatory…

said that they see a wall that was encircling a large oval area that was 1,012 yards long and 328 yards wide. Inside the walls were large sand piles thought to be the ruins of Atlantis (David 26). The fact that it was a wall that was encircling an oval area makes it seem like it was a part of Atlantis since Atlantis was a circular city. Starting the late 1950’s, Edgar Cayce stated that the Bimini Road would be the place to find evidence of Atlantis. For many years, there were countless of…

Giuseppe Ungaretti (1888-1970) is considered by some critics, the greatest Italian poet of the 20th Century. He served an infantryman on the lower Isonzo front from the 1915 until early 1918. In the spring, he was transferred to the Western Front where Italian forces fought with distinction. Ungaretti contributed some of the most revolutionary lyric poems to an illustrious and somewhat stilted tradition. These poems were written during the war, and the poet’s war experience becomes a paradigm…
