All I long to do is forget. Forget him, his sweet melodic voice , his strong embrace he holds me within, even his beautiful green eyes that seem to stare through me. Only the remembrance of him kills me, makes me ill. My heart can not bare this pain of losing him, of him disappearing like the fine morning mist. I shall never hear his sweet voice, look into his eyes, or be held in his embrace.
A week later, I left home with the mules and the wagon. The ride took place in a rough countryside, which consisted of mostly woods. Here and there you would see a farm or a barn in the middle of a field. What I liked best about the ride was that the beauty of nature was all around us; hawks soaring in the sky, streams flowing, etc. Close to nightfall was when we finally arrived at Stanardsville.
The concept of longing and love is presented in different ways by Rita Dove and Anna Swir in their poems. In “I’ll open the Window,” Anna Swir focuses on the opportunities that the future will bring upon ending a long, tiresome relationship. She employs poetic devices like personification, imagery, onomatopoeia, with a somber mood and reflection on her past relationship. On the contrary, “Flirtation” by Rita Dove conveys a feeling of hope and the joy of starting a new relationship through similes, metaphors, personification, and couplets. Both poems explore the idea of renewed hope that relationships bring either by starting a new one or ending an old one, while employing different stanza length, and creating different moods in the minds of the reader.
These final lines represent the overcoming of love, and seeing herself as a different person than she was when she first met her lover. The light she seeks is love and she feels as though her lover does not give her this light
She also talks about all her past lovers and how they have all left her. As she continues to look for a love she is losing hope and giving up she is always left alone and she is getting older and her looks are fading which is not helping. This makes the reader feel sorry for her and makes her poem have a sorrowful
Regardless of those horrors during his time as a police officer, the horror he is exposed to ever since he joined the special unit, by far overshadows his days as a cop.

“Morning,” my mom says to me as I fill up a cup of orange juice and walked to the outside door leading out on the porch of our family’s Cape Cod home. “We are leaving for the Maple’s at ten-thirty, make sure you are ready. Your dad already packed the towels and goggles, just make sure you remember a change of clothes. Oh, and can you take Fabia outside with you?” My mom asked.
Growing up, I always felt like my family had the "American Dream. " As a child, you don 't compare houses to a house that you live in, cars to a car that you drive in, or family that you were born into. Children are adaptable and don 't realize that maybe you don 't have what others have, don 't live in the same quality of house that others live in or don 't drive a newer car that others drive. I grew up in a family of four. My mother and father worked full time and took care of my sister and I.
In her poem “I Am Not Yours,” Sara Teasdale asks for her significant other to love her so deeply that she becomes a part of him. Teasdale uses figurative language to convey her romantic message. For example, she states that she is not lost in him but she wishes to be “Lost as a candle lit at noon” (3). At noon, the sun is directly overhead relinquishing the candle of its purpose.
Penny checked the time on her smart phone. “We have to be seated before the ceremony begins. I don’t want to be late. Okay?” “Sure, Pen.
That night we had no idea what hit us, a flash shot off from the right; my close friend colonel Robertson fell down beside me dead. I quickly dragged him to the medic in a vain attempt to save his life; there was no hope for a dead man to come alive. Now there were only thirteen of us left, thirteen out of twenty-four. We all thought we were going to die. I saw an orange glow off in the distance wondering what it could be.
Being away from a person or place for a period of time causes differing underlining emotions in a person, whether the feelings are good or bad. Absence, sometimes, creates a sense of loneliness, regretfulness, or longing for the past. Ann Beattie’s short story, “Snow” reveals the emotions of the narrator as she reminisces on her past life. A central theme of absence is prevalent throughout the short story, which is conveyed to the readers through the use of symbolism.
Stem Cell Therapy Research There are many pros and cons to stem cell therapy. If stem cell therapy can help patients who suffer from diseases that is no cure then why not use it? There have been cases that have helped patients with parkinson’s disease, autoimmune, alzheimers, heart attacks, etc.. Of course, like all other forms of medical treatments there are side effects: the cells not taking, sickness from the therapy, but the biggest is seen when embryonic stem cells are used. I personally see no issue in using adult or umbilical stem cells. There are families who have children with chronic illnesses who need their umbilical cords harvested so that later in life, the cells can help save them.
I stood with crutches, a neck brace, a nose bandage and an eye patch. I stared at the caskets as they were being lowered into the ground. The third to last coffin I knew was Emma’s. I started crying but tears only came out of my right eye. My parents tried comforting me but I shook them off.
It was an unusually hot summer, 1856. Shortly after my arrival at the McGill place, Maighread and I set off on horseback to ride along the river as she suggested the previous night. At one point, we picked out a spot in the shade where we sat for a spell. Maighread had packed a picnic lunch, which she put inside an enormous leather bag. “Let’s go swimming,” she said.
