I stand at the bus stop, en route to the city, waiting, looking up and down the street, where I have been, where I will go, remember the times before when I did the same thing, always when waiting, caught between the here and the now, and smile at another moment, a possible turning point in this life. Bus stops are markers for our lives, three types, stations, timed stops, and hailing stops, the latter where you have to flag down the driver. Bus stations are the most significant, represent life’s
possibilities were endless. The first step, once we landed, was to find the train station. This particular part of Dover was not very large, but it was large enough to make finding the train station problematic. There was an older gentleman walking outside the port building and we decided that he would be a great source of information. Sgt. Femmling and I stop him for directions. “Excuse me sir, do you know the way to the train station”, I enquired. The old man’s face lit up and was delighted to part with his

and black participants would sit in the front, a two-way violation of bus company policy. If ordered to move, both blacks and whites would keep their seats. At every bus stop, blacks would head for the whites-only waiting rooms and try to use the facilities. The strategy assumed that whites would respond violently and that such encounters could not be ignored by the federal government. The first group of Freedom Riders boarded a bus in Washington, D.C., on May 4, 1961. Thirteen riders had been recruited

*The new bus driver* Monday mornings, I hate them. Dublin is so busy but luckily, I travel in on the bus and I always sit at the front conversing to the bus driver Marty. He is probably the only reason I look forward to work, I love a good chat and I am the last stop so there is plenty of opportunity for this. We talk about lots of things, he is always interested in my martial arts as I have a black belt and so does his daughter. We get on like a house on fire. Until one day when Marty fell ill

Just then my bus pulled up, I saw more people get on, some swiping tickets and some not, so I got on without a ticket and nobody said anything. Soon after the bus arrived at a train station and we all switched to a slow moving train that wound its way through the alpine hills. Halfway to my destination something unexpected happened, a British family

advantage of them. “Wake up, wake up, son. We must leave now.” He opened his eyes and looked outside; it was still very dark and rainy. “Where are we going, Mom?” he asked while crawling out of bed sleepily. When they left the house for the train station, it was only four o’ clock in the morning, and the boy thought that his family was going to visit their grandparents whom he had not seen for ten years. The next morning, they arrived in Nha Trang, a coastal city in Central Vietnam, where his father
Sriram sets out to the army quarters following Jagadish's directions. He catches a bus and reaches his destination. When he is about to cut a portion of the barbed wire fence, panic seizes him. For the first time, he begins to douby his decision. As a result he withdraws himself from the active involvement in the extremists’ campaign. In this regard it is worthwhile to note what Dr. M.K. Naik observes: His lack of genuine faith in the cause of the freedom struggle also makes Sriram a coward and cowardice
Ezra Pound's In a Station of the Metro Before this week, I had never read any poetry by Ezra Pound. I noticed immediately that many of the poems are very short. "In a Station of the Metro," for example, is two lines. In the essay "Imagism," the second rule of imagistes is said to be "to use absolutely no word that did not contribute to the presentation." I think this rule helps explain why some of Pound's poems are so short. Obeying the second rule of imagistes will be harder the longer the
drawn from the lowest caste in Indian society, that of sweeper, or cleaner of human ordure. Despite his unpromising station in life, the central figure in the novel operates at a variety of levels in order to critique the status quo of caste in India. Well aware of his position at the nadir of Indian society, Bakha is able-via his untouchability-to interrogate issues well above his station in life, such as caste and its inequities, economics and the role of the colonizer. Due to the very characteristics
Texaco service station with an old man (Nick Nolte) behind the counter. Dan buys some snacks and milk, and the man sits on a chair in front of the station door. When Dan looks back, he is surprised to see the man on the roof. The next night, he goes back to find the man to ask him how he did it, and the man starts giving Dan several philosophies (but he never gets around to telling Dan how he got up there.) Dan starts calling him Socrates and he thinks that this old service station owner might be
Etterick asks for 'one single and one return to Sunbury, please'. Mrs. Etterick is going to drop her retarded daughter, Gina, at a special institution in Sunbury for Christmas. She doesn't want her daughter around: their ways are separated in the station (although Mrs. Etterick travels with Gina to Sunbury). 'Clapham' is a word that is often used by Theroux (the writer) in his other short stories (not in this book). Narrator: The narrator is an omniscient and unintrusive narrator: he knows everything
Hills Like White Elephants, by Ernest Hemingway The hills across the valley of the Ebro were long and white. On this side there was no shade and no trees and the station was between two lines of rails in the sun. Close against the side of the station there was the warm shadow of the building and a curtain, made of strings of bamboo beads, hung across the open door into the bar, to keep out flies. The American and the girl with him sat at a table in the shade, outside the building. It was very hot
I step out of my apartment, no car keys in hand. I watch the 11:49 MTS route 44 bus drone loudly away as I continue to stand at the top of my stairs, having just locked my door behind me. Rather than sit and wait for another to come down Linda Vista in thirty minutes, I head out on my journey, depending on my feet to take on travel. I walk along the sidewalk with many others coming in and out of the line of stores parallel to the main road. The speed of the cars whipping up the flaps of my jacket
