Many nights as I lay in bed restless and puzzled, I contemplated which direction my future would take. Entering Brown University, I thought I had a keen sense of my career goals, having convinced myself that I was well beyond the “college is a time for exploring” phase.

By use of his arm, Rembrandt led our eye from him to Saskia, the real reason he is there. From her, we transition back to him; but, in between them we see the other vice.

When he left I went downstairs and asked my mom what she had planned for the weekend, she said that they were probably

It was at Lucas Graham's Christmas party that Tom Yilmaz first saw Mollie Conrad. Not for the first time in his life- they had attended the same school for nearly seven years and had been in the same class more than once- but it was the first time he really saw her.

However, Foer and Homer manage to seep in the effectiveness of secondary characters within the context, which eventually causes alternations to the main characters’ adventures. Homer begins Odysseus’ss journey by introducing the reason to do so. As an epic poem, The Odyssey’s narration focuses on Odysseus’s
