Mornings like this were always his least favorite. Standing by the stop sign at the end of Westbury Lane, waiting for the school bus. So cold he could see his breath, and feel his bones rattle with shivers. His big brothers hand-me-down jacket had too many holes in it to be a sufficient heat source, and his thing cloth gloves didn't have half the finger tips. The only thing saving him on this frigid winter morning was the hunters orange beanie he stole from the lost and found the week before.
In both short stories, the clear distinction between the good and the evil is portrayed through the use of similar characters. In “Young Goodman Brown”, Nathaniel Hawthorne depicts Goodman Brown as a young, innocent and a religious man. “Young Goodman Brown came forth at sunset into the street at Salem village; but put his head back, after crossing the threshold, to exchange a parting kiss with his young wife. And Faith, as she was aptly named, thrust her own pretty head into the street, letting the wind play with the pink ribbons of her cap while she called to Goodman Brown” (Hawthorne 1), Hawthorne chose to name his character Goodman Brown and his wife Faith, to portray them as a young and religious couple. He also chose to talk about the pink ribbons in Faith’s cap, to show her as an innocent girl; because the pink ribbons symbolise innocence as they are worn by little girls.
Dally stomps off as Ponyboy and Johnny begin to acquaint themselves with the young Soc girls. Ponyboy and Cherry hit it off. Chapter 3: The boys walk the Soc girls home. While walking, Ponyboy realizes the Socs aren't much different from them with just emotion separating the Greasers and the Socs; too much and lack thereof. Cherry and Marcia's boyfriends pick them up where a fight almost ensues.
It was not difficult at all to know what was going on without having to read and reread the poem. Like for instance the first two lines “The first time I walked / With a girl, I was twelve” (as cited in Clugston, 2010, section 11.1) seems like adolescent language. I think it was very constructed because the tone of the speaker allowed the reader to connect with the adolescent being in love. Through the experiences of a poet can a reader exhibit the power of emotion. With a few elements like symbolism, tone, and imagery allowed me engage in a truly interesting poem about young love.

He is shy and more comfortable alone in the world exploring nature as he does when he skis to the beaver dam. It is Gene who compares the drastic changes an early snow of winter can make at the Devon school to that of war and how Leper is oblivious to it all when he thinks to himself “But Leper stands out for me as the person who was most often and most emphatically taken by surprise, by this and every other shift in our life at Devon” (Knowles 93). Leper’s withdrawal from the world around him is his way of coping with the harsh realities of the war. Although the war is raging all around Leper remains oblivious by escaping and admiring his natural surroundings. In the beginning Leper’s attitude about the war is that it doesn’t affect him.

Alex Benn's 'Dont get me started' Strolling down that desolate road on a mid-november's morning. The golden leaves drift down to be engulfed by the psychedelic mists. Many would consider this setting a peaceful retreat, an escape from the reality of everyday life. Unfortunately, i simply cannot share this same enthusiasm,due to the fact that this picturesque walk holds a dark, sombre truth right as you so dare walk around that corner. Now the loud chugs and splutters of all types of pollutants are yours to endure, as you will now wait at the side of the road for at least half an hour to embrace possibly the most dreary spectacle known to man-kind... the approaching bus.
The poem “Incident” by Countee Cullen is the poem I chose because I feel that I can relate to this story that is being told. The poem “Incident” is about a young kid who realizes how bad being in Baltimore was because of the color of his skin, as an incident occurred when a young white boy not much bigger then this 8 year old colored boy called him a “Nigger”. I think this was the boys first encounter of racism at such a young age and clearly he understood what was going on as he was called a “Nigger”, but it also seems like he didn’t do anything and kept all the pain in and moved on with his vacation if you shall say. The 8 year old boy was in such a good mood “Once riding, in old Baltimore, Heart-filled, Head-filled, with Glee” Until he
