The Hum

Missing the noise of the sea at night, I find it difficult to sleep. Difficult to be content with the tame sounds of human habitation: somebody’s dog barking, somebody’s door swinging to, a window raised in a nearby house, the hum and crunch of a passing car… and not long for the primitive rhythm of the rides, the peep of peewits, and the sound of the wind in the grass.” This poem resembles me at my first night in college, during the night time I kept hearing so much noises…

“The Lorax” and the stories of Easter Island are alike even though one is based on true events and “The Lorax” is a kid’s story by Dr. Suess. Both of these stories involve someone that destroys their own environment and they don’t really care until it’s too late. Both stories show how easy an entire area can suffer if selfish people don’t care about the things around them and they are more worried about themselves. Everyone should care about their environment and do everything possible to…

The ride to the police station was tense. Eli’s muscles had tightened and his sarcastic remarks had ceased. His hands were raw and sore from the cuffs digging in. His limbs folded in and his neck was stiff Being 6’4 in a police car was the farthest thing from comfortable. His mind became assaulted with an array of thoughts as he took a shy glance out the window and began to wonder if they were going to be his last look outside. The sound of Sgt. Juit hoarse voice dragged Eli out of thoughts…

around to blow a kiss to the flower, the people around her realize she’s been completely present while seemingly in her own world. The street becomes hers. A black cat looks on from its red, wooden window box. Its expression turns amused as people hum and birds whistle with the girl, in perfect pitched. They step to her beat, dance with her dance, twirling as she twirls, bags and briefcases swinging in coordination. Then, she turns a corner off the street, her black hair being the last the…

In “The Naming of parts” by Henry Reed is narrated by two speakers, one who is the drill instructor and the other is the military trainee. The drill instructor iterates mostly all of the lines having to do with the rifle and its parts. The trainee speaks of nature and the Japanese garden. These two speakers differ in tone since one is concerned with the mechanisms of the rifle as well as warfare whereas the trainee is connected with nature and can see the natural beauty that life has to offer.…

not. He figures what the heck I’m starving and these berries are the only decent thing on this island. He sees some coconuts in a tree and wonders if he could climb that narrow trunk and get some. He wonders how far Whitney is and if he catch up. He hums a tune and dozes off. He wakes up to wet. It must have rained he thought. He should eat again to get some strength before he sets off to find Whitney again. He tries to climb the palm tree to get some coconuts so he can get something to drink.…

to life with Frank and questioned if the dog wanted to be brought back and if it is the same dog inside as it was before. Similarly, Wells writes about the horrifying experiments the animals are put through by Dr. Moreau in effort to turn them into hum-animals. There is also a love aspect/interest that causes friction and conflict within each plot. Zoe and Frank love interest caused the experiment to be done on Zoe after she had been electrocuted. Prendick and Dr. Moreau’s daughters love…

Another welcoming change is a quieter ride. The Camry was quiet already, but thanks to Toyota finding new ways to minimize road noise, it’s even better. This makes it easy to conduct Bluetooth calls and enjoy music without having to compensate for the hum or the road. The dashboard instruments and accessory controls are designed with hands-free operation in mind. Not only is the Bluetooth designed for easy, hands free calls, this new model also comes with an Apple Siri hands free app specially…

Sixth Grade Cabin Trip Therapist Dan: “So tell me more about your friend Xavier.” Me: “There’s not much to tell since he’s too busy working two jobs just to stay afloat.” Therapist Dan: “No, no, no. I mean tell me about what it was like growing up with Xavier. Perhaps a story about something you went through with him.” Me: “Toastmasters’ style?” Therapist Dan: “Sure.” It was our turn to go next. I was so nervous I hyperventilated. The stage crew was supposed to flash the spotlight on me before…

have his captain ready the extravagant yacht to set sail. Departing from his home (which will be described later) in Miami Beach, the boat cut through the crystalline waters en route to tropical paradise further south. Grayson found comfort in the hum of the on-board motors beneath the ship, the sound of the waves breaking across the navy colored hull, and the whistle of the wind whipping around him. It wasn't long before the luxurious yacht found itself roaming between tropical islands just…
