Memories of the previous night's conversation lingered with Kyle as they entered the park. Zai's reaction, and emotions as he encircled in his arms, under the silk sheets, and her whispered 'I love you'. How his sincere return of those those three little, but oh-so-powerful words, had caught in his throat, and tears had blurred his vision, before he'd encircled Azairah in hiis arms, and drifted off to sleep, silently repeating the phrase in his head. With her again by his side, and the Fates colluding to provide them a cloudless blue sky with bearable humidity, the morning could not be more perfect. Neither could Zai, who looked a treat. But, when didn't she?
That internal musing elicited a smirk, and wayward drift of his eyes to drink in

Surveying the crowd;, married couples with their kids in tow, talking about vacations, and taking pictures with the cartoon characters; he realised that, they too, were only on vacation. However, unlike him and Azairah, when it was over, they'd return to their mundane existences. The white-picket fence, and nine-to-five-grind, two children and a dog, with the only thing to look forward to, and sole excitement in their lives, a once a year opportunity to escape. Normalcy was good in small doses, but not for the long-term. He'd already tried and failed that with Amy, and it was not something that he'd desire to attempt again. Not even after they'd completed their mission, and finished with Cole Douglas. He'd find another excuse to keep on with the killing, another revenge to take. For the killing was fun, the thrill never-ending and, in Azairah D'Amici, he believed he'd found the perfect companion. Life would never, ever, be boring for …show more content…
"I love you, Zai." He whispered, holding her deep brown eyes, with his piercing blue orbs, "And, I'll remember this day forever." Not averting his gaze, Kyle fumbled for words. "What you said, last night, that you wanted to be mine?" Pulling her closer, and hands slightly trembling on her skin, the Army vet swallowed hard, then leaned in for a kiss. A kiss that whilst similar to the others, was simultaneously different, filled with a previously unexhibited need. Or that could have simply been Kyle's imagination, brought on by apprehension. "I was thinking we'd leave tonight, and put a few more miles between us and Everglades, before the parcel arrived at Cole's,

It has been such a joy reading “The Norton Introduction to Literature” by Kelly J. Mays. Of all the stories that I was assigned to read, one story in particular stood out to me because of how the author used words to create a vivid image in my mind. The story I’m talking about is “Araby” by James Joyce. James Joyce does a great job creating vivid images in the readers mind and creates a theme that most of us can relate. In this paper I will be discussing five scholarly peer reviewed journals that also discusses the use of image and theme that James Joyce created in his short story “Araby”. Before I start diving into discussing these five scholarly peer review journals, I would like to just write a little bit about “Araby” by James Joyce. James Joyce is an Irish writer, mostly known for modernist writing and his short story “Araby” is one of fifteen short stories from his first book that was published called “Dubliners”. Lastly, “Araby” is the third story in Dubliners. Now I will be transitioning to discussing the scholarly peer review journals.
"Why don't we sleep on it, baby. We're both emotionally exhausted. I'll call Levine in the morning, set things up?" Richard slipped his arms around his lover, and drew her closer, planting a soft kiss on her forehead. "All I want to do for the rest of the night is hold
In “Araby” by James Joyce, the author uses several literary elements to convey the multitude of deep meanings within the short story. Three of the most prominent and commonly used by Joyce are the elements of how the themes were developed, the unbounded use of symbolism, and the effectiveness of a particular point of view. Through these three elements Joyce was able to publish his world famous story and allow his literary piece to be understood and criticized by many generations.
I felt the warmth between us again and realized how much I truly did miss her. So many new things happened since that cold January afternoon when Cara boarded the plane for Oregon. I wanted to spill everything and hear all about her experiences too. I knew there were some doosies on my end that I had been holding all to myself until the moment I could release them all onto her. Some things are meant only for the ears of your very best friend, but yet I sensed that everything was different between us somehow.
Aziarah wouldn't require assistance. Kyle recognised that as he viewed how she managed to maintain her smile, and an expression of warmth and sexual interest, even as the youth brazenly turned to his friends and indicated that he'd found himself some pussy to wreck. What a man. The Army veterans own countenance lit up momentarily with amusement at the though the guy had no idea that the only pussy that evening, and one to take it rough, would be himself. Kyle hadn't heard the question, but it was one he knew had been asked, because wasn't that got every girls panties wet? The promise to fuck her into next week.
...ally anything to secure his passion and not even her love for the girl would make him shift or even think of shifting his stand, the conversation brings out the author as a very determined, resolute and down to earth person who would stop at nothing to achieve his goal, this is also brought out through first person narration the author uses this style perfectly well to echo out his perception.
Amy’s excitement and anxiety about kissing ignited a rush of memories. How I used to romanticize about first kissing someone! I thought that I would be in a long flowing gown, and the handsome young man would bring me flowers, and ask to court me. Our kiss would be done on the porch, under an encouraging moon and a harmony of stars. Or maybe I would be in a MacDonalds, and the most good-looking guy I’d ever seen would come to my table, buy me a hot fudge sundae, and he give me a kiss when he walked me to my car.
In the text Araby by James Joyce, Joyce juxtaposes the dark setting with Mangan’s illuminated sister to show the difference between the boy’s reality and his deceptive imagination. This is important since it highlights the dangers of trusting . The setting is described nothing but drab and darkness: “An uninhabited house of two storeys stood at the blind end… When the short days of winter came, dusk fell before we had well eaten our dinners. When we met in the street the houses had grown sombre.
