The First Man

Go buy a boat and sail! Buy a motorcycle! Travel! Get away from your life." Frankie raised his tone. "This is all I have left." The Man started to speak, but Frankie didn 't let him. "Are you dense? This is all I have! My wife is dead. My child is dead. I put my fuckin ' heart and soul into these farms, into these acres. Every day I do what I have to do to keep the cogs running. No one talks to me anymore. I don 't exist outside of these farms. I lose the farm, I 'm as good as dead." The Man didn 't change. "Understand, Frankie, that times are changing. We 'd love to have you on board as a farmer, heck, imagine the publicity that would get us. But nowadays we need efficiency. We need speed. The new machines they have are twenty times faster than yours, and your farm is set up in a way where we just can 't upgrade it." Frankie didn 't change. "Frankie, you can still farm! Jesus, just use a different name! Call it "Papa T" or something, I don 't know!" Frankie sighed. "You 're getting old, Frankie. You can 't do all this farm shit much longer. Every…

cannot stop thinking about it. The singer mentions a new girl who makes the guy happy and used to be her. When you watch the video with the song it adds another layer to the story. The video seems to be both a flashback of sorts and also another story completely. This song is very redundant if you are listening to it alone, but the music video was done extremely well. The storyline flows smoothly while still following along with the lyrics. The first lyrics in the song are “There is no place I…

You were born into the most privileged of lives. A daughter of two wealthy Purebloods. You were their first child and, unless a boy came along, you would be their heir. It was your duty to be everything they needed from their child, to bring honor to your family name and to be the perfect Pureblood girl. That meant that you did as you were told without question, you never so much as looked at someone who was not Pure and you most certainly never let the outside world see a single flaw. At home…

Isolated in a crater, surrounded by deep green mountains, sat Huoron, a squat little town of just over two thousand. On the outskirts lie quaint little cottages with outhouses that were empty now, only to be filled in the summer when people try to escape the ball and chain of modern life. The pure, untainted green of the forest seemed to draw less and less people as the attraction of nature became less and less desirable. As you look further in, the cottage scene is corrupted with dotted…

It starts out in a conversation with a child asking what grass is. The line of answer is "the beautiful uncut hair of graves" (Whitman 2747). When we die, we are buried in the ground. We are returned, in a sense, from whence we came. God did form Adam, the first man, from the earth. William Cullen Bryant says in "Thanatopsis," "earth that nourishes thee, shall claim thy growth, to be resolved to earth again" (Bryant 2673). The earth has now become our home, our resting-place, our lap,…

Review of First Man: The Life of Neil A. Armstrong Man has an innate desire to reach the unknown and conquer new horizons that have never been previously explored. What separates adventurers from dreamers is the adventurer possesses a willingness to embrace the risks and uncertainties that are evidently included in the aspiration to ascend beyond the ordinary. Perhaps one of the greatest examples of this rare ability is demonstrated in the life of the American astronaut legend, Neil A.…

I was just looking at the blood red seals on my arms. Three in total one on each bicep and another one on my shoulder. Father explained that the one on my left bicep was magic that would collect and reflect the enemy magic that others used to attack me. The one on the right bicep would essentially allow me to copy others magic and make a seal on it for me to use any other time. The third seal, had five layers that would come off each time I used it. Causing harm to me, but also granting me…

From childhood Jane is consistently reminded that she is alone and worth less than her aunt and cousins because she is not wealthy:” I had nothing to say to these words: they were not new to me: my very first recollections of existence included hints of the same kind. This reproach of my dependence had become a vague sing-song in my ear; very painful and crushing, but only half intelligible.” This marks the beginning of Jane believing that she isn’t as deserving of nice things as those around…
