The House of the Rising Sun

The sky is blue, morning blue, when the sun is just rising, at about 6 o’clock. The chilly Autumn morning made me feel safe as I peered out the dew lined window. Leaves blew across the street, yet not too many because it's early in the season. Its nice to look out, seeing the smoke come out of the chimneys from the warm homes where everyone is asleep this sunday morning. Then out of the corner of my eye, amongst the beautiful fall scenery and warm houses was a guy, creeping out the back mill…

And it was for me the deity that it was for Dragonfly. In this section, Momaday truly connects with the traditions of his people. Dragonfly 's ritual shows how dedicated the Kiowa were to their sun deity, and the pride he feels from the trials and tribulations of time his people and their ways have overcome. Momaday rounds out the final body paragraphs of Homestead with a recollection of the buildings and areas near to his childhood and life…

Many theories have been proposed on what exactly would take place post nuclear war via multiple works of fiction. Stories like "There Will Come Soft Rains" and even games such as the Fallout series present their own ideas on what the world will be like after it has been engulfed in nuclear fire. These representations are all incredibly interesting and provocative. However, in the story, "Searching for Summer," readers are presented with a world where most have given up hope. Interestingly enough…

the poem is, when people die, they go into a new life of eternity and have a new beginning. The poem is about a woman who nears death and sees death as something pleasant because her life has become sorrow, which is symbolized with the broken down house. Death is personified as a gentleman caller to show that death can be a sweet thing and not such a sad depressing thing. Instead of lecturing about death, the speaker conveys her message through a story; the speaker is on a date with a gentleman…

They continued on the journey, and as the moon faded into a lightening sky, the animals began to come out, and the forest grew alive with sound and movement. The first rays of sunlight stretched out from the rising sun, shining through the thin gaps between the trees and illuminating the forest with a dim light. Now, as the day started to dawn and the night faded away, the full grandeur of the Sequoya trees lightened into visibility, revealing the fine needle leaves soaked in a beautiful deep…

"prrrr." He was a little bit nervous. "prrrrrr." "Sarah..." "prrrrrr..." Luke was worried that she would not take his call. He was even thinking she forgot about him. He looked at the clock in the house; it was almost 8'oclock. He heard some footsteps and chatting voices that he was used to hear. His mind went blank all of a sudden. Feeling some terrible apprehension, he moved the telephone, which was still not answered, apart from his ear to hear…

is a high producer of greenhouse gasses without regulation policies. In 2013 it is estimated that coal produced up to 39% of energy in the U.S. (U.S. EIA). The use of coal facilities that use coal for energy production produce vast amounts of green house gasses. Unless these facilities are regulated and upgraded with better technology, production of high levels of carbon dioxide will continue. The good news is that coal is becoming replaced by natural gas and other alternative methods that have…

which to me means that the moon the falling behind the tree line in the distance, which is representing that the sun is going to be rising soon (Wordsworth 20). But after talking about it in class and thinking more about it specifically I think it could mean something more to the rest of the story. After he talks about the “descending moon” he continues to ride closer to Lucy’s house and the moon was falling behind the cottages roof (20). At this moment in the poem, he has a thought that…

to change? Are we the reason for the glacier melting and rising temperatures? As Kevin Trenberth, a National Center for Atmospheric Research scientist said, “There is no doubt that climate is changing and humans are partly responsible” (McCaffrey 57). So in some ways humans are responsible for this. We have cause something the change in our atmosphere. In a way humans have caused the climate to change that have led to extreme storms and rising sea levels. So the main question is how are we…
