An anticline is a fold where the limbs dip away from the hinge (Patwardhan). More specifically, these formations dip west then east with no bend or limbs.

My back touches the cold metal wall, and a shooting pain strikes down my spine. I thought the Septem was supposed to help with that. I guess it doesn’t properly work on me. How many times have I hit my back that it hurts this much? Did it happen while I was asleep? How long have I been unconscious? Sharp sounds

Eating has been one a great joy to me my entire life. It is a huge portion of everyone’s day, and for most, happens at least three times a day. If we eat three meals a day every day for a year that is one thousand and ninety five meals! With all these meals we need a nice place to sit down and enjoy it. Whenever I get hungry, I always find myself at Chick-fil-a; well, at least five times a week. The familiar sights, comforting scents, and soothing sounds of Chick-fil-A that make it the birthplace
jump in technology. The land was being cleared for cities. Similarly, prices are increasing in order to accommodate higher incomes and newer technologies. And along the lines of the farmers, minimum wage workers are left behind in the dust. The strikes popping up in the cities are as symbolic as the western migrations of farmers.

Faults are classified three different ways: strike-slip, normal and reverse. Strike-slip fault appears when two plate ends slide past each other horizontally. Normal faults occur when the end of one plate slides vertically down the end of another. Reverse fault is when one plate end moves vertically up the end
Conviction strikes me as I stare into the messy abyss of my closet; a small but quaint repository of old trophies and rolled up paintings. Along the top shelf, flimsy hangers grasp the white metal wiring with motionless stride: assorted jackets of both fleece and denim hang down towards the tattered, beige carpet. A worn, army green jacket stands out amongst the throng; the fabric wrinkles and creases as I remove it from the hanger. Slowly, my eyes trail the numerous splotches of acrylic paint tossed
The Traveling Carnival of Freak Shows Richard Gary writes the literary analysis for Faulkner’s As I Lay Dying. In his writing Gray claims that the Bundrens are ultimately the carnival or “a comical operation of dismemberment.” Faulkner’s characters are outcasts among the other Southern folks in their county talked about in stories and legends. However we as the readers will never know exactly who the Bundrens’ are, because Gary believes, “Just when we think we have a clear picture of who someone

To become successful with those programs, I have to learn about the interior as well as the exterior to make the models
intense poets, both Dickinson and Tennyson shared their innermost views regarding death, particularly seen in Tennyson’s “Mariana”, “Crossing the Bar” and Dickinson’s “Because I could not stop for death” and “Behind me—dips Eternity.” In “Because I could not stop for death” and “Behind me—dips Eternity”, Dickinson challenges our perception of death.

myself in a small metal room with no door and nothing else except the four walls surrounding me and the floor. Every sound I make ricochets off the shiny surfaces and makes the shallow layer of dark colored liquid on the floor ripple. I bend down and dip a finger into it only to be disgusted and frightened when I realize it's blood.I wipe it off on my jeans and gently put my hand on the wall to my right which, to my surprise, is extremely cold, way colder than metal should be. It makes me shiver. I
