This voice has no particular back-country identity, nor is it obsessed or limited in its point of view; it seems rather to be exploring nature, other people, ideas, ways of saying things, for the sheer entertainment
The Impact of Bad Habits on My Life It is very hard for people to accept their mistakes, but the hardest part is to correct them since no one is perfect and it might take some time as well.

He would read the race programs in the Asbury Park Press and usually pre-pick most of the day's favorite horses before ever leaving the house.

When reading these words, the last thing on my mind would be hostile. Forces of death and blind fate picking random victims may have some truth to them, but fate is something that’s very disputed. “…Snatched up thirty men, smashed them unknowing in their beds…”(37) This may seem like fate had decided who was going to die, but it probably wasn’t so.
