had a difficult time changing everything. The short story “Mule Killers” is written by Lydia Peele. This is a story within a story and as often seen in short stories there are a very limited number of characters. But as usual these characters have a major influence on the story.

As I have written, it is a story within a story, the father is looking back in time. He is telling

The most unforgettable moment in my life is the day when my pet dog died. Being just a young innocent boy, I really never understood the meaning of death or the purpose of it. All I could understand is that it comes uninvited unexpectedly and it is inevitable, for all life will come to an end one day. The tragic moment happened when I took my pet dog out for a walk. It was when we reached an intersection and was crossing a pedestrian line when a car turning left immediately rushed to turn after I

interesting read. While reading through the prologues and short tales, one story seemed to stick the most. My favorite of this book was called the “Millers Tale,” which is both chaotic and entertaining. The story begins with a Carpenter and his divine and fledgling wife named Alisoun. Alisoun has a fearless soul, and a careless type of mind. As a couple, they rent out one of their extra rooms to a scholar named Nicholas. Nicholas, over a short period of time, grows feelings for Alisoun and is shy of

"My Papa's Waltz" by Theodore Roethke is one of my favorite poems. It is one that gives each reader different emotion and interpretation. “My Papa’s Waltz” was written in a first person narrative and provides rhythm and symbolism. This poem displays a very relatable storey about the relationship between a son and his father. It has a known rhythm that brings to mind the type of dance that is symbolized in the title. Recognizing the character was easy because the author used “I” for first person

view our own place—what we take for granted, how we choose to define ourselves, and what we mean to others.” Didion’s essay had a profound effect on me. It caused me to reflect on my own life and to think about where I came from, where I am now and where I’m going. I’ve lived in various places and have considered each one my “home” at one time or another. Although Didion was talking about her own life, I felt as though she might as well have been talking about me and mine even though I no longer think

Richard Cory, a seemingly happy man, bathed himself in his riches, as well as his personality. The man was admirable: the townspeople saw him as almost a royal figure. And yet, this story does not shy away from the brutal reality of mental struggle. Richard Cory, on an unsuspecting summer day, broke the silence of the calm by putting “a bullet through his head” (Robinson 16). This example very effectively paints the picture of the realism movement. Following the Civil War in America (1861-1865),
