“You’ll just have to wait. What you got in you aint nothing to what I got in me, even if you are a woman too.” She follows me moaning. Then the dead, hot, pale air breathes on my face again. He could fix it all right, if he just would. And he dont even know it. The cow breathes upon my hips and back, her breathe warm, sweet, stertorous, moaning. The sky lies flat down the slope, upon the secret clumps. Beyond the hill sheet-lightning stains upward and fades. The
Sacks and Coyne both increase social awareness in those who have read their respective pieces. Sacks educates his readers through a narrative of a man diagnosed with visual agnosia, which he then analogized with humans becoming computer-like in the way we scrutinize while using a creative dialogue.

dark as charcoal. It was frigid, sending goosebumps up and down my body like little spiders racing; I thought I was still dreaming, or stuck in a nightmare. I moved my arms around frantically to find something, anything that could help me. I found a sack next to my feet and starting digging around in it and upon finding a piece of flint and tinder, I lit a torch. Hundreds of flea-infested rats scurried away, leaving me alone in a state of confusion and panic. Where was I? Who was I? The amnesia started
In a dark period that dates back to 1200-750 B.C.E., there is no writing in history other than two epic poems, one of which is the Odyssey. The Odyssey was written approximately 10 years after the Trojan War in 850 BC. It is believed the author of this epic poem is Homer, but there is a possibility that "Homer" is a combination of various different writers. Although Greek Mythology is categorized as fiction in modern day, the stories were factual for the ancient Greeks. The Odyssey is a story of
My reasoning is because he didn’t care about the attention and worship but the mind set of a good Epic Hero. In the Iliad, Achilles loses his best friend, so in return he seeks revenge “You wine sack, with a dog's eyes, with a deer's heart. Never once have you taken courage in your heart to arm with your people for battle, or go into ambuscade with the best of the Achaians. No, for in such things you see death. Far better to your mind is it, all along the
far. Quietly and complacently, it was sinking into decadence, and progress had come to mean the progress of the Machine.” I have nothing to offer anyone except my own bitter delusion. Limp bodies lay scattered all over the incommodious ground. Their eyes bloodshot and hollow. A part of my already dying mind shattered as I gazed upon the disfigured bodies lying around me. They looked like monsters with their ankles twisted in an unusually gruesome manner facing sideways and their heads looked as though
poem is between the reality of the war and the government’s portrayal of war as sweet, right and fitting to die for your country. The message that the poet conveys is the reality of the war that is horrific and inhuman.

When Snowball and Napoleon argued over what the , the animals “could not make up their mind which was right; indeed, they always found themselves in agreement with the one who was speaking at the moment” (36). Napoleon and Snowball were currently arguing over what the best plan was for the future of Animal Farm. Snowball insisted that causing other farms
In a cold dead world, a world full of fierce beasts and hidden terrors, a new life is just beginning... "Ahhhhhhh!! Fuck god damn ittttt!!" A beautiful blonde womans agonized scream echoes through the small cave. "You're doing great Danielle, just keep pushing!" the woman's husband, a stern-looking black haired man with a resemblance to modern models attempts to comfort her, In his hands lies an orb which emits a constant white light. "God damn it Edward shut the hell up before I bash your face
Crooks wanted to do was for Lennie to feel what he is feeling now, alone. Candy and Curley’s wife make an appearance, and one person in particular is automatically not welcome. She makes several racial slurs towards Crooks until he bursts. “You got no rights comin’ in a colored man’s room” (Steinbeck 80). Just like how the rest of the guys do not allow him in the bunkhouse, he does the same where he sleeps. Originally there was no one allowed in his little area until Lennie.
