The air was frigid; my nose, a shade of dull scarlet, could have chilled bones to the slightest touch. The grass was covered in a light mist that glistened off the cool morning haze. The sky painted my vision with the colors of orange and pink; they seemed to be dancing together. My eyes were squinted; the bright sun inched itself up to meet me. I found my arms clutched close to myself, the small jacket around me provided only minimal warmth. As I entered the car, I felt instant relief from
or a leech Hanging on to that one person that runs through my mind all day Even if I want them to disappear or stop talking to me But I don't really want them gone. It's all so confusing Stay, go, stay, go A never-ending cycle. I explode at the slightest misunderstanding just to realize I wasn't even mad, Why was I so mad for something so stupid? How can I make it to them? I'm such a horrible person. I don't know why I do this, I hate it, I hate it more than anyone could know I'm labeled as a person
correlations to Daisy: the "yellow" of Dr. T.J. Eckleburg's spectacles and the brick of the houses on the street is a color of decay, but also of riches like sunlight and gold. Also, the ashes in the valley form figures (to Nick) which disintegrate at the slightest puff of wind. Gatsby is incapable of recognizing the "ashes" of what Daisy represents and takes her emptiness for substance. Although Nick sees the moral desolation of the Buchanans' world, Gatsby cannot...

Jenny Bryce was a cute little nineteen year-old coed at Great Plains University who was on a full-ride scholarship for gymnastics and was, at the moment, one of the ten cutest adult female human beings on planet Earth, where "cute" is a term that describes "delightfully pretty or dainty in a youthful, delicate way; fun-spirited; adorable." You know, perky, cheerful, daintily-petite, and at once both innocent and sexy. Oh, yes, Jenny was all of that from head to toes. Yes, indeed, she was. It was
remind him of the Countess's delicate touch, and the ostensibly shallow and frigid wife who denied him his happiness. Referred to as his family's "strong right hand", Newland's composure slips and shatters over the course of the film as he becomes increasingly obsessed with Countess Olenska and the allure of her forbidden touch. The camera plays close attention to hands, reinforcing the rigidity and frigid decorum that pervade the film, offering the notion of touch as an escape from the pedantic lifestyle
In Descartes Meditations he utilizes that the sensible properties of a piece of bees wax do not define inherently what the wax is because if the wax changes according to its sensible properties it is still the same piece of wax and the only way to come to that conclusion is through the mind. Furthermore, what we know about the wax, whether there are characteristics that change or do not change, does not alter the fact that it is the same piece of wax, which further reiterates Descartes main point
Was Hades an evil god or did he believe in strict justice? The answer was no Hades; was not an evil god, “He’s only harsh when souls try to leave the underworld or people try to cheat death” (Probst). Some sources describe him as passive towards humans. Hades’ main goal was to increase the number of subjects in his underworld. Hades did not seem to be worse than his brothers, but his job was the worst of the brothers. Many people view Hades as the scariest god mainly because the keeper of the underworld
going on around them. It is a way for people to document every waking moment on social media and to share photos and videos to hundreds of your so called friends. Technology is supposed to be a way to connect with people all over the world and stay in touch with friends. But is it really? I believe technology is making people feel more distant from society from people spending too much time online and by technology taking away human interactions and giving us constant distractions. People who devote many
time. You open your eyes after dark nine months. You are not used to light or sond. It's cold. Than giant two hands take you to a warm place with a heart beat sound. It's cosy. You just remebered you heard that sound before. You are at peace. A slightest sound upsets you, but comforting smell of skin calms you down. The world you first saw through shapes is starting to have colors and dimensions. Your eyes and hans are starting to explore. Your senses are at at your fullest. The world is incredibly
behavior at eight years old. That horrified me. I got in touch with my eight year old self by remembering my childhood and where I came from. I would ask family members about me and how I was. Most of the time I did not like the answers I would receive but I cannot change the past and how I was. Consequently, I decided that my childhood is my childhood and I have to accept it because it is my past and where I am from and so that is how I kept in touch with eight year old Leah. Now onto thirteen year old
is in my heart and my face is the face of one who has made a long journey, it was burned with heat and with cold. Why should I not wander over the pastors in search of the wind? The quote uses phrases like "Face burned with heat and cold" to signal touch and "cheeks be starved and my face drawn" to signal sight. We are able to see the state that Gilgamesh was in, in that moment. The phrase "face of one was made a long journey" is used to show that he is so weary and tired that it is shown on his face
Kochan picks an ugly woman for sex. When they touch the tips of their tongues, Kochan states, “Perhaps I will not understand when I say there is a numbness that resembles fierce pain. I felt my entire body becoming paralyzed with just such a pain, a pain that was intense, but still could not be felt
Amy Mayer claims that coffee requires a temperature range of 15 to 23 degrees Celsius. A slightest change in this temperature range will interfere in the proper growth of the coffee beans.

heavens once more. She had not yet seen the serpent; therefore she turned to face him. She examined his body with her eyes. His candescent skin reflected a melange of reds, blacks, and greys upon his scales. Amazed at his beauty she reached out to touch him, but he leaped back with caution. Her eyes were still fixated on his. In his eyes saw nothing thus was oblivious to the evil soul he possessed since since she did not know of wickedness. She trusted him because of his beauty. “If we are to eat
Flannery OConnor In her short story "Everything That Rises Must Converge," Flannery O'Connor allows the story to be told from the perspective of Julian, a recent college graduate who appears to be waiting for a job, while living at home with his mother. His relationship with his mother is rocky at times, to say the least. It is constantly mired with conflicts about the "Old South" and the "New South".

contribute to such stress. Stress does not influence everyone in the same manner. Studies show that different types and different levels of stress occur with the people at work as there are differences in individuals. Some people react very fast to the slightest provocation while some stay untouched even for a major setback. Therefore, we can say that it is a person’s emotional response to the given situations. Majority of stress in organizations today is caused due to the philosophy of management, leadership
.. ...d leaning forward, that faint and invisible dust dry and acrid in the nostrils, we saw a long strand of iron-gray hair." So desperate for human contact, Emily has been sleeping next to a dead man's body. No one in the whole town had the slightest human insight to see this lady's predicament of needing human contact. Faulkner could be drawing attention to the proximity of a desperate person in the reader's life and could be questioning whether or not the reader will react once he acknowledges
I chose “How to Win Friends and Influence People” – By Dale Carnegie. I enjoyed this book a lot more than I thought I would. I liked how Dale Carnegie talked about how to talk to other people in society but, he used his personal stories. Also, I liked how he separated the book into principles and not chapters it felt like it went faster. The principles are very helpful and very logical, this book made me look at society different and it made me realize how important little things are. In principle
blizzard left dawn with the scars of the night before, no mercy suppressed. Within the reach of the horizon, the morning hum of an awakening city reverberated through the air. The gloom in the sky overshadowed everything that the light strived to touch. From the towering skeletal trees to the lifeless brooks that were asphyxiated by the polar temperatures driven by the departure of Autumn. An eerie, nearly pitch-perfect silence echoed throughout the barren forest. The soft fluvial motions of the
