Ray Carver's collection "Where I'm Calling From" After reading more than a dozen of Ray Carver’s short stories from his collection Where I'm Calling From, I have to ask the question, "Where was Carver calling from?" On the surface, his stories seem very simple. They are about people with average jobs such as hotel managers, waitresses, salesmen, and secretaries, who live unsophisticated, mediocre lives.

Kurt Cobain: Collection of Personal Accounts From Family Relatives I would like to share some of the memories and perceptions I have concerning this unique, rare and original human being called Kurt Cobain. I knew Kurt during his teen-age years in the period from about 1979 to 1984. I was in my mid-30s and living in and near Montesano. My sister married Kurt's dad, Don, and also lived in Montesano. My grandfather comprehended the intelligence and individuality in Kurt at a time when Kurt was being
people with different responsibilities, but there are two people with the most important jobs when it comes to adding new exhibits: the archivist and curator. “Archivists and curators plan and oversee the arrangement, cataloguing, and exhibition of collections” (“Archivists, Curators, and Museum Technicians”, 2). Although these jobs seem very similar, the archivist and curator have different responsibilities. The most important role of an archivist is to over-look preserved records and documents of importance
Sharon Olds. They are both taken from her collection “The Dead and the Living” and are entitled “The Eye” and “Poem to My Husband from my Fathers Daughter.” Olds is a contemporary writer who expertly maneuvers her work through modern life. In this particular collection, written in 1983, she takes us on an explorative journey through both the past and present of family life. I will explore the role of the family in both these poems and how, through the collection, a realization and acceptance is reached

published in a national magazine. In the introduction of the essay I´m going to stablish the context in which we can find A Rose for Emily.

The works in this collection have three things in common, the community, which as we are going to see a very important character as a whole, the solitude of human beings which in the case of Miss Emily is

An internship is a formal program to provide practical experience for beginners in an occupation or profession. By this point in my internship I am more than half way through it and taking on more and more responsibilities and positions as I go along. After a minor break from researching, I researched for three more hours on the Victorian memorabilia project. I found out companies who made postcards and when the Sanborn map company emerged.

That is just what happened on that night of March 18th, 1990 when the thieves took off with 13 pieces of what seemed to be random art selections out of a vast collection of 2,500 pieces (some way more valuable than what was taken.)
