Train wreck

Irony is shown in Wilson’s garage, where the sign reads, “George B. Wilson. Cars bought and sold” (25), yet the only car in the garage is a, “dust-covered wreck of a Ford” (25), which belongs to Wilson.

Wilson first shows his desire for the blue coupe as Tom and Nick enter his garage, “When he saw us a damp gleam…

This is the episode I will primarily focus on in my analysis. Monica suffers from bipolar disorder as well as drug and alcohol abuse, so it is no surprise when she returns home a train-wreck. Frank’s deceased mother left money behind for all of her children, except for Frank. Frank attempts to improve Monica’s mood by trying to get her to help him collect some of this money. Together the two of them spent the entire “squirrel fund.”…

The countries with more money, have better technology while the countries with less money, have worse technology.

When I was 15, I left my dad and my sister in Kansas and came to live with my grandparents here in Arizona for my mental health. My childhood was quite tragic. I was physically and emotionally abused by my mom until my dad made her move out, and I was bullied at school. Before I came to Arizona, I was having suicidal thoughts on a daily basis and I had just attempted suicide for the seventh time. My dad, who has high-functioning autism, didn't know how to deal with it and made things worse.…

head and neck. We were now surrounded by a small army of the living dead, or opportunity to hightail our asses out of there long passed. If I had to guess I would have said forty-nine of them in total, the exact number that had died on the train wreck all those years ago. Forty-nine lost souls waking up from their hundred fifty year slumber.

A machine cannot perform at its best on bad fuel; likewise, people cannot perform at their best on a poor diet. Unfortunately, the typical American diet brings a troubled look to nutritionists nationwide. Typical for lifestyle habits, eating patterns begin at a young age. Considering that over a billion school meals are served in the United States annually, there is good reason for concern about its impact on the health and eating habits of our future society. Although we keep increasing…
