This must be how ordinary people feel around us.” - Nite Owl II, Watchmen (XI.14.7) March 10th 2001 Park Slope, Brooklyn NYC Still in hospital and feeling terrible. The nurse said they might be discharging me after Dr. Black comes and checks everything out tomorrow. Andrew came to visit me during afternoon visiting hours today. He brought several issues of Young Avengers, Green Lantern, and the complete series of Guardians of the Galaxy. He came in and flipped off his hood and then looked suddenly startled at the sight of me. I realised then that all I had on was a hospital gown, my broken leg was awkwardly elevated and strapped to the rack, and I hadn’t had a shower in a couple …show more content…
You went?’ ‘Yeah. My brother and his team made all these insane cakes and pastries. He did this crazy Justice League cake, it was huge.’ He went on describing it in detail. ‘You went to San Diego?’ I said in disbelief, ‘how was it?’ ‘It was awesome. It was beyond awesome. You have to go. I think next year will be even better.’ I felt a pang of jealousy and wished I could sit up more but my leg prevented me from moving. ‘I’ve always wanted to go to Comic-Con but it’s so far away.’ ‘Stan Lee was there. He signed a few of my old comics. I got to talk to him. And Geoff Johns was there! It was so good.’ I couldn’t believe that my newest friend, the guy sitting at the end of my bed right now, had actually met to Stan Lee and Geoff Johns. ‘Are you going to go again next year?’ ‘Yeah, I’ve already started saving for it. I can stay with my brother again so I don’t need to worry about accommodation but I need to get a plane ticket and an event pass.’ He was really energetic now. I opened the packet of macarons and offered him one and then took one for myself. It was a bit stale but still good. ‘So, plane and then a pass? How much is all

A major theme that is seen during the Gulliver’s final adventure is the reversal of roles. For the first time in the novel, Gulliver’s crew forms a mutiny and throws him overboard. On this island, we are introduced to Houyhnhnms and Yahoos. Gulliver first meets the Yahoos; a group of humans that act like farm animals and have the brain equivalent of a horse. Meanwhile, the Houyhnhnms are an intelligent race of horses that have their own language and use the Yahoos as cattle. When reality is presented with a different face it allows the reader to make less biased opinions based on previous beliefs. Most people are completely fine with how people treat cattle as a source of food, but when we see the
When I first saw this title, I thought that it was simply just about a person who had experienced a very eventful hour. Although this title is very simple, it does not predict what is going to happen or have any clues or a double meaning, which I think is really cool. After reading this short story, it is exactly what I thought it was. It was a lady, Mrs. Louise Mallard, who had the most eventful hour of any one's life.

“ I mean I’ve left schools and places I didn't even know I was leaving them. I hate that. I don’t care if it’s a sad good-by or a bad good-by, but when I leave a place I like to know I’m leaving it. If you don’t, you feel even worse.” (pg. 7)

As we start conversing, it is almost as if he wanted someone to come and talk with him.
