The Narrow

The Tacoma Narrows Bridge was finished building and was open to the public on June 1st, 1940 in Tacoma, Washington. The bridge was very useful because it had cut the travel time from about 2 and ½ hour drive from Tacoma to the Kitsap Peninsula to about 10 to 15 minutes. The Tacoma Narrows Bridge was the third longest bridge at the time with the length of 1.4 miles. Not even a year after the opening of the bridge on November 7th, 1940, it had collapsed taking no human lives. The exact cause of…

or the last thirty minutes, I’ve been invariably groaning and rubbing my temples being continually urged to “chill” by the boy next to me. I wasn’t sure if he was serious or not. Although, I still can’t believe that I’d be with this annoying dipshit for three more hours. “So, was that a yes or a no? Seriously, I don’t understand you,” He states for the thirteenth time just as he scans my face for an answer. However, I stay silent for an instant. “Alright! I’ll take that as a yes.” “Dude. You…

Richard Flanagan's ‘The Narrow Road to the Deep North’ (The Narrow Road) and Audrey Niffenegger’s ‘The Time Traveler's Wife’ exude stylistic qualities that have deeply influenced my creative piece. A key attribute to Flanagans novel is the establishment of the lead persona Dorrigo, whereby an intriguing character voice is established through the the exploration of life both in the war in contrast to his fundamentally dishonest marriage with wife Amy. I have tried demonstrate this parallel of…

Ghosh, Saibal & Saggar, Mridul (1998), in the paper “Narrow Banking: Theory, Evidence and Prospect in India” examined the narrow banking in India and asserted that an increased presence of NPA forced banks to select tactics to reduce risk by investing in safe and liquid assets. It is observed based on the analysis that the narrow banking may expose weak banks to immense market and interest rate risk and thus makes it vulnerable to idiosyncratic and systematic risks arising from macroeconomic…

“Yeah, that’s fine,” Enzo’s face had fallen, and he appeared to be disappointed. “Hey, is there anyway we can hangout, tonight? I would really like to get to know you better.” “Um, sure. I’d really like that.” Brooklyn managed a small smile. All of a sudden, Enzo’s face lit up with joy. “Great! I’ll meet you by the railing, then?

and its beautiful creations, especially animals, and Emily Dickinson is no exception. In “A narrow Fellow in the Grass”, Dickinson simply admires a snake, personifying it with interesting metaphors and unusual word choices.

Dickinson begins one of her only published poems with the lines, “A narrow Fellow in the Grass / Occasionally rides -,” metaphorically describing a snake as a long,…
