In the essay “The Things with Feathers That Perches in the Soul “, Anthony Doerr asks “What lasts? Is there anything you’ve made in your life that will still be here 150 years from now? Is there anything on your shelves that will be tagged and numbered and kept in a warehouse like this?” (Doerr 97). The idea the author is trying to imply there are things in this world that will fade.

Janette would read the books that her mom brought home from the library every week. “Mom really piled up the books. She came home from the Welch Public Library every week or two with a pillowcase full of novels, biographies, and histories….Once night came, we kids all lay in our rope-and-cardboard beds, reading by flashlight or candle we’d sit on our wooden boxes, each of us creating our own little pool of dim light.” (21?)
Many kids can reflect from what they did do in the past. Many times humans do mistakes especially since they are kids and their minds are not set as well as how adults are even though I do think everyone does know what they are doing. The reason I do believe this is because in the article Greg Ousley Is Sorry for Killing His Parents it explains,”After earning his high-school equivalency and attending nearly every anger- and stress-management workshop the penal system had to offer, he pursued a bachelor's degree in liberal arts through Indiana State University’s correspondence program“(Anderson, page 4). The explanation why I put this quote was because in the article Greg does realize he did do something wrong and wants to make it up but getting
There is a sentimental value that is attached to every families’ collection of heirlooms and keepsakes. No matter how long these items remain in storage or are hidden away; their representation always stays the same, they keep people connected to their family roots. Author John Updike’s short story, “The Brown Chest” uses symbolism and imagery and sensory writing to focus on the idea that family memories never fade away and material things can maintain a deeper meaning no matter what they endure. John Updike appeals to the reader’s senses to allow them to connect with what is occurring in the story on a more profound level. He begins the story by writing from the main character’s childhood perspective.
The article, “How Higher Salaries Could Save the Teaching Profession” written by Cindy Long, shares why teachers should have higher salaries from the start and the impact it would have on the community. Long begins by including quotes from Florida teacher Seth Knolhoff, who shares how the lack of pay is affecting him and his family as well as what actions he might just be forced to take as a result. Long then goes on to share that Florida is having trouble keeping teachers or getting them in the first place because of the struggles to get raises each year since there is no guarantee, and also since there is no cost of living pay increase in place for Florida educators. She next discusses the changes being made in other states, such as Illinois
I have 63 Nancy Drew paperback books for sale. They were published by Apple for Scholastic Inc. It looks like most of these were published in the 90's. There is some wear on the covers of some books (little chips or creases, small tears, impression marks). Some of the books are older and the pages have darkened, especially on the inside cover page.
Lost Sparrow is a film about the pros and cons of inter-racial/out-of-state adoption, the death of two boys, and an exorbitant amount of secrets a single family can keep within their folds. This film shows us that secrets always come out and can directly affect relationships and the lives of those around you. Secrets are a big theme in this film, as it shows you what they can do to the people around you, and who people really are. Lost Sparrow illustrates how the truth comes out, and how it can be distorted over time depending on the people involved. Overall, this film made me angry and sad at how difficult these children’s lives were.

Think Question 1: Foreshadowing is a literary device in which a writer gives an advance hint of what is to come later in the story. How does the author of “The Monkey’s Paw” use foreshadowing in the first chapter to suggest that the spell placed on the paw might not bring happiness to whoever possesses it? Cite textual evidence from the selection to support your answer. Response 1: W. W. Jacobs uses foreshadowing in "The Monkey 's Paw" by having Sergeant-Major Morris recount his experience with the monkey’s paw. After Herbert asked Morris if he already requested his three wishes, Morris replies with, “‘I have,’...and his blotchy face whitened” (Jacobs).
Character is the thing that defines a person. What you will do, what you will say, how you interact with the world. Admittedly, all of us have character. But, the character of Christopher is a very interesting and a complex one. In times, it feels as if he is an alien compared to everyone else.

Helen visited Holmes and Watson to secure their assistance in investigating the mysterious death of her twin sister Julia.

The main theme of “The Girl on the Train” is betrayal or dishonesty. I know this because every character in the story betrays someone at some point. For example, Tom leaves Rachel for another woman, Megan has an affair with Tom, Kamal betrays Scott by having an affair with Megan, and last but not least Rachel had an affair with Scott. Overall everyone betrays each other in this novel. The lesson the author is trying to teach the readers is that do not betray other and if you do at least be honest in the end because if your dishonest it can lead into some serious damage and issues like murder and more.
