The Farewell

The history of the United States is a complex one, filled with unique characters, remarkable feats of failures and successes, and a desire for freedom since the beginning of its existence. The time after the American Revolution, the beginning of a free nation and its independence, is beautifully captured through the collaboration of stories known as Founding Brothers: The Revolutionary Generation by Joseph Ellis. While Ellis didn’t have a distinct one-sentence thesis, he most definitely had an…

suppress his shame. In other words, Satan makes his final decision to stay in his fallen state because he realizes that the truth behind his sinister acts is overwhelming to face. In fact, the rhetoric in his final lines are of acceptance; the term, “farewell,” indicates Satan’s salutation from all things good. However, although Satan welcomes his shame, he concludes with a rejection to all things righteous: “all Good to me is lost;/ Evil be thou my Good;” (Book IV, 109-10). While Satan…

In his writings, Hemingway utilized descriptions of nature and environment for the moments he felt it important to express a character’s emotions in his story. For example, in the book “A Farewell to Arms” the use of rain symbolized death and the use of snow represented new hope in the lives of the characters. Hemingway’s style of writing provided guidance to subsequent writers in the ability to input nature, weather or other environmental…

The rest of that meeting was mainly about planning the issues of where our baby boy was going to stay until the funeral, the funeral schedule and what was going to happen during the night before. So basically adult business. Me, being a nosy kid, I sat there staring outside the window while low-key listening to the gossip corner- also known as my lovely aunties- rattle on about “how did this happen?” and basically wanting to learn about stuff that wasn’t really necessary to talk about at that…

The school felt cold, disappointment filled the air. As I walked down the littered hallways, I found the principal’s office as I walked in a certain odour filled the room the type you would find in a second hand store. An assistant greeted I myself and told I myself to go down the hall and turn right to meet the principal and so I did. As I walked into the room, I noticed a family photo the sadness I felt sadness took over my body; it was a Mum, a Dad and a daughter. I was at hoI myself, on the…

If I were a gang detective supervisor writing a policy for custodial juvenile interviews I would highlight the suspect’s age and mental capacity in the policy, especially because of the ruling rendered in J.D.B. v. North Carolina. Furthermore, I agree it is important to attempt to contact the juvenile’s parent, guardian, interested adult, or attorney prior to conducting an interview, but depending on upon the totality of circumstances, it is not a requirement for detectives to wait for adult…

left him for an Italian officer, ending their relationship before they were ever married (Ernest Hemingway biography-).

Everyone at the table had puzzled faces besides one and that was Lady Macbeth. Her face looked exposed as if she was caught in the act of a crime. “Oh hahaha, excuse my husband he’s been acting a bit off lately,” the wife said as if it explained this weird incident. All the guests knew she was just trying to cover up what we had just seen and heard. My once grumbling stomach was filled with the four course meal but for some reason the food didn't sit right in my stomach. The whole scene with…

I sit here and write this story of my life to preserve for centuries and to come and maintain my legacy. I will commit suicide in order to not witness the complete annihilation of my army and to meet Cleopatra, who has already committed suicide. Farewell to my people and my…
