The Shining

Has one ever had the horrifying thought of death? Or where one will end up after their death? Over 70% of humans fear the thought of death, yet death is something no one can escape. In William Cullen Bryant’s poem “Thanatopsis”, imagery, symbolism, and the use of metaphors demonstrate how nature comforts people when they fear death. Bryant’s use of imagery presents a full picture of how nature is a woman who is sensitive to people’s feelings and needs. Nature is not just trees, rocks, and…

The question that was answered in this experiment is, “Which aerobic exercise increases heart rate the most?” If a person runs then their heart rate will increase the most. The independent variable in this project was the different exercises that were done. These were running, jump roping, and doing jumping jacks. The dependent variable was the difference in heart rate after exercising. Some of the control variables were the amount of time that subjects exercised (15 minutes), the age of the…

water-pouring in, not through the window, but through the joinings of the door. It got thicker and thicker, till it seemed as if it became concentrated into a sort of pillar of cloud in the room, through the top of which I could see the light of gas shining like a red eye. Things began to whirl through my brain just as the cloudy column was now whirling in the room, and through it all came the scriptural words ‘a pillar of cloud by day and of fire by night.’ Was it indeed some such spiritual…

2 similes. In lines 3-7 states, “light like a green latticework of branches shining on every leaf.” Also in lines 8-9 states, “drifting down like clean white sand.” These similes are effecting the meaning of the poem because it is giving the reader a visual. The metaphor in “Ode to Enchanted Light” lines 13-15 states, “is the world is a glass overflowing with water.” This metaphor is illustrating that the light is shining in the forest. In the poem “Sleeping in the Forest” has one simile in…

the picture is the mountain because it stands out dramatically with the brightness of light that is shining on it. The rest of the picture is in a shadow, which adds to the standout effect of the mountains. Because of the shade that the rest of the picture is in, the color that dominates the most is the…

would have normally done when he was healthy was a better fit for the stanza as well as for the poem as a whole. The final difference I made was changing the last two lines of the last stanza. The repetition of “shining” seemed too much, and it was a stretch for the hearts to be shining. I wanted to keep the idea of two good hearts, partly because dogs are known for their goodness and loyalty, but also because the dogs are both Bedlington terriers, who are known for having the “head of a lamb,…

As I get off the bus, and stretch my legs after what seemed like a very long bus ride, I noticed a certain smell in the air. I have been here before, and each time the visits have been very uncomfortable. I love nothing more than to step on the ball field, and smell the fresh cut grass, and my kangaroo skin catchers glove. This ball field was different, for many different reasons. Playing baseball against Mountain Valley was always fun, because we always won. We traveled to their field this…

hank you. We have listened and you have told us --- ENOUGH. ENOUGH of feeling like your government is ignoring you. ENOUGH of Washington bailouts and handouts. ENOUGH of feeling less safe and less secure in a more dangerous world where the bad guys are winning and the good guys are losing. But I have good news -- in just one hundred and twelve days --- it’s over. In this election the stakes have never been higher. Do we settle for the path we are on? Or do we take a better way?
