To help understand the mood of that morning the author used details in the text such as : “Soft smoke curled from chimneys as mother served up steaming bowls of oatmeal. Children gathered up their schoolbooks,
In Chapter 9-14 Holden Caulfield leaves Penecy Prep and heads to New York City. Where he will stay for a couple days before winter vacation starts and he will head home. Delaying breaking the news to his family he got kicked out of school for as long as possible. These chapters are where Holden’s loneliness becomes abundantly clear. The reader is subjected to many long rants by Holden about the company he wants, though he attempts to settle several times.
When I took them over and as he handed me the new work he would say quickly and sharply, "Hurry!" And when he did not say it in words he looked at me and I seemed to hear even more plainly, "Hurry!" I hurried but he was never satisfied. By looks and manner he made me feel that I was not doing enough Late at night when the people would stand up and begin to fold their work away and I too would rise, feeling stiff in every limb and thinking with dread of our cold empty little room and the uncooked rice, he would come over with still another coat.”
In Terrance Hayes’s poem “Mr. T-,” the speaker presents the actor Laurence Tureaud, also known as Mr. T, as a sellout and an unfavorable role model for the African American youth for constantly playing negative, stereotypical roles for a black man in order to achieve success in Hollywood. The speaker also characterizes Mr. T as enormous and simple-minded with a demeanor similar to an animal’s to further his mockery of Mr. T’s career. The speaker begins his commentary on the actor’s career by suggesting that The A-Team, the show Mr. T stars in, is racist by mentioning how he is “Sometimes drugged / & duffled (by white men) in a cockpit,” which seems to draw illusions to white men capturing and transporting slaves to new territories during the time of the slave trade (4-5).
Numerous authors and historians have found inspiration and fascination in the myths, realities, and legacies of the American frontier. Bruce Catton, a Pulitzer Prize-winning Civil War historian, wrote a memoir of his youth in a small town in western Michigan created by religious idealists in the late 1800s. Waiting for the Morning Train is a nostalgic and lyrical depiction of an earlier time period, as well as a reflection on the personal and social changes that Catton experienced growing up around the turn of the twentieth century. In this paper, I will focus on one of Catton's primary themes, the impact of the lumber business on the environment and the economy of Michigan. I'll look at how Catton watched his state's shift from wilderness
Train going. Silence. Train coming. Train stopped. Train going. . .’
After a while the conductor turned on his microphone and said that we were skipping the rest of the stops because the train was full. I was delighted because it was getting really noisy in the cart. Then we get to Chicago. We are all both shocked and thrilled by the amount of people walking down the streets.
Like a small boat on the ocean, Adam may have seemed helpless without the waves the community set into motion. Adams interaction with the community speaks for the role it played in the opening days of the Revolution. The unity among many men, the role of the woman, the recognition of the greater cause, and the community’s inexperience are all ways Howard Fast showed the importance of the contributions of the community in April Morning. Although the main character was Adam it was those around him that made the opening days what they were, and the success they rang. The first clue to the community being an asset was the unity among many men.
As I walked onto the train, my nostrils were flooded with the Blue Lines
They were as loud as two moose bellowing.¨ also ¨Once we saw women pushing a metal cart full of stuff. She wore a long dirty coat and she would lay down across a row of seating in front of Continental Gate 6.The cart, dirty coat, the lying down were all noticeable.¨
People were so close to one another that they couldn't lay down. Also, there were no bathrooms, so the train cars smelled terrible. The passengers bodily fluids and defecations infected
1. After viewing the documentary and listening to each song by Rodgers and Hammerstein the song that made the most impact on me was the song “Some Enchanted Evening.” The song consists of very smooth and romantic melodies. Due to that I am a hopeless romantic I really enjoy the song lyrics and melody. The song was very catchy that I ended up singing the song for the rest of my day.
It seems that there isn't a single time of day where one has a seat. In fact, during rush hours, getting a seat on the subway is roughly equivalent, statistically, to winning the lottery. Yes, the subway sucks when you have to stand, but what if you had to stand in a train that is 100% full? What is "the maximum torture factor?" In other words, what is the maximum of the number of people that could fit in one entire 10 car train,
After showering and getting dressed, I walked downstairs to feed my dog and prepare myself a last-minute breakfast before leaving. “Can we please go?” I yelled as I read the time 7:41 on the microwave. I usually liked to arrive at school early to talk to my friends and occasionally walk to Racetrac or Chick-fil-a. As I left my house, I brought my friend with me. I always had him by my side when I went out.
And yet again there are more problems regarding the train when people were “determined not to use the buses until the fare is brought back again to four-pence,” pg. 73. This same concept is seen in facilities in the
