The Stone Boy
521 Words - 2 Pages.... by a regretful little boy.
In the first few lines of the story, the reader can get a clear sense of the relationship between Arnold and Eugie. Arnold was six years younger than Eugie and the relationship verified this fact. Arnold was always the weaker and the subordinate. Eugie was a typical older brother-complete with taunting and when necessary, protection for his younger brother.
Arnold admired Eugie more than anyone and when the shotgun went off, Arnold was so devastated that he denied the fact that he had even shot his brother. He thought that if continued to pick peas, Eugie would get up, and tease him for being such a fool. However, this was not the case. Later on, ....

We took advantage of the 'movie hour,' which replaced Social Justice for approximately three class periods, and innocently relaxed on the cold tiled floor. What I did not know was that my life would be altered forever and that my outlook on the world would seemingly change. My eyes fixated on the movie screen, while my heart, soul, and mind slowly began to wander into the life of a murderer, but more importantly, a human-being.
Dead Man Walking truly captivated my conscience and made me think about the controversial standing of Capital Punishment. The movie appropriately portrayed two sides of the coin. Not only were we enlightened by Sr. ....

Friends
633 Words - 3 Pages.... meeting new people.
College is not a difficult place to meet people. They are everywhere; in dorms, in classrooms, and simply walking around outside. Although this is a perfect atmosphere for meeting people, some may still have difficulty. The greatest challenge about meeting people is not only the hoping that they will keep a conversation with you, but also there is the fear of rejection.

From this point one can recognize the Biblical significance of the number seven, particularly in the Book of Revelations, in which we see seven candlesticks, seals, angels, plagues, and stars among others. The tone of Revelations enforces the strength and uncontrollable certainty of mortality at the end of the tale, as well as implying the presence of a divine power of judgment without explicitly stating it. The interpretation of the seven rooms contributes to Poe's allegory of man's absolute mortality, and also offers a prime example ....

William Wordsworth was very concerned with others in the subject of his poems as well as in his real life. In "Preface to Lyrical Ballads," he would not have written, "I have pleased a greater number than I ventured to hope I should please" (141) if he was only concentrating on the self.
