Everyone in the town knew who I was but not for good reasons. I believed most of the stuff I did was for the betterment of this world. I always had hated Orchard Hills, our gated community, so when one day “mysteriously” the owner of the gated community told us we must leave, after I egged his whole house, everyone in my family had a clue as to who had done this. When I woke up the next morning I got ready in a hurry. I grabbed the only pair of shorts and shirt I hadn't packed the night before and
a time to prepare to pick up the pieces when it's all over. ― Gloria Naylor. The Linden Hill's Community is obligated by their address, but all citizens of the Hills are really only obligated to themselves. Throughout the novel, you meet characters with intentions of mastering the art of self. Timing is everything in the hills; a time to plot, a time to scheme, and a time to kill is the perfect way to let go and "allow people to hurl themselves into their own destiny."(Naylor).

At the top of Sycamore Hill, where the once neatly trimmed grass had become wild foliage, was an old house. Old houses are often perceived as if not retaining the spirits of its previous tenants they are at least thought to have retained their owner’s history. This house was no exception. Like most old houses set atop old hills, weather had taken its toll. The bricks were worn and faded from their red, pink, black shades. The softened wooden door looked as if one more heavy night of rain could take
foreboding, a sense of fear. Will I make it back upstairs one more time? This poem exists on two very different levels. On one hand, the speaker is a child, sent to the dark, scary basement for a bag of frozen vegetables. But on the other, more sinister side, the very obvious correlations between the dark basement and Hell are directly meant to terrorize and intimidate the reader. It is not easy, these days, to be scared. This poem does an admirable job of making itself engaging and frightening
Michael Jordan For many years now, people have been fool by appearances. Someone may look at the exterior of an object and expect one thing when actually the exact opposite is waiting inside for them. For example, an unexpecting person picks off a grape from the bunch and bites into the fruit while dreaming of a mouthful of juicy, sweet grape but in reality receives a surprisingly bitter splash with the first bite. Or when a person first looks at a power vision 3-D picture they only see mass chaos until
Late one night just as the sun began to set behind the distant hills a piercing scream was heard in the distance. Could this be the return of the psycho man that disappeared ten years ago that went around and knocked on children’s windows and would scream until he made them cry many years ago? The man’s name was Jeff Reddy , he was supposed to be shipped off to a mental asylum. When he was a child he was dropped on his head and his parents and siblings were mean to him. The psycho man did not graduate

When Meghan hears me enter she runs crying "Tim's teasing me and I'm hungry." I ask the kids, "Why didn't you feed her?" Tim responds, "she didn't say she was hungry." Pat runs up from the basement and reminds me I have to take him to guitar practice now or he'll be late. Maura bounces down the
My Adventure in Greece I topped the hill, and looked back down the narrow, winding street, winded. My grandparents were still straggling up. I told my uncle that we should wait for them, and he agreed, reluctantly. He was used to the steep slopes and uneven sidewalks of the Athenian back streets, and didn't quite realize that visitors found them more than a little challenging -- especially after exploring the Acropolis most of the day. I should have been tired; I'd been climbing all day,
Gaudi. [1] Antonio Gaudi was a Catalan architect, with a distinctive style that is branded through the means of freedom of form, through voluptuous colour, texture and organic harmony. Gaudí’s elegance of architecture went from end to end in a number of phases. On development from the Provincial School of Architecture in Barcelona in 1878, he experienced a rather elaborate Victorianism that had been unmistakeable in his school projects. He quickly developed a manner of composing by means of extraordinary
They came in late August. The sun was just barely sinking behind the tops of the low mountains, the sky growing dark, the sounds of crickets audible from within the tall grass that covered dry dirt. I could hear the sounds of distant conversation and smell the sharp aroma of smoked meats from the people who had come back from the cassava fields early. They drove in military vans the color of dust. I saw them coming. I heard their growl and smelled the tang of gasoline. It intermingled with the dense

and Sweet, which is the reason for the ingenious creation of the Bitter and Sweet Tour at the Wing Luke Museum. This tour, might I add, takes tourists to many of the famous places from the novel. Well-known scenes and major events take place in Chinatown and Japantown, being that the two main characters each descend from one of these cultures.

This essay observes the trauma of Andrew Wakefield in Rick Moody 's “The Mansion on the Hill”, a short story based on the accidental death of the narrator 's sister.
