Kurt Vonnegut
5/16/2019
Be Kind
Kurt Vonnegut presents himself in a “whimsical writerly sweetness”
and isn’t someone you’d expect to simply be born in Farm-Ville Indianapolis,
November 11, 1922; Armistice day.
“he was quite proud of being born on a day associated with peace.” (Shields 12)
What a humanist. He came from an upper-class family;
his father an architect and his mother an investor in the Brewery industry.
When he was young he went to the Orchard school,
who believed that students should be “a little community of doers.” (Shields...

Theresh mushrooms surroundin’ the paira oak treesh and theres dragons and talkin flowersh.. it was pretty CRAAAAAZZY lasht time I was there…Ya that was a while back…” Dave rambles, a group of kids fixated on his spiel.

Analysis of the thing in the forest
The Thing in the Forest’
Short Story Essay Analysis
A.S. Byatt’s ‘The Thing in the Forest’ features two very similar yet divergent characters; the two meet under similar circumstances and grow old similarly, with a few differences that separate the two radically. Penny and Primrose at first glance seem like two ordinary people, but in ‘The Thing in the Forest’, it’s seen that they have significant departures from one another. On very tiny pivots do human lives turn, as such though we all start off similarly by the end we’re very alike in polarized coincidence, as we...

intense desire
Desire A.S.B.R.
Intense desire
Burns like a fire
Who’s the cheater

Full of lies from a lying liar
Stakes go higher
Down to the wire
All because of that one fire.
Intense desire
Burns like a fire
Who’s the cheater
Who’s the liar
Stumbling through the webby briar
Full of lies from a lying liar
Stakes go higher
Down to the wire
All because of that one fire.
