Heritage Woods: A Short Story

I cared not for the sun at that time. The summer of 1838 had arrived with little or no significance than that of any other. Why would it have done? Out there, the days rolled by as if intertwined. One great long day of blissful isolation was followed by the next, in perpetual harmony.

He discounted her words as words of a mistaken woman affecting a man’s role. Sooner than he had thought it would be came the first frost of the season, damaging and killing his crops. Upon seeing this, and hearing tell of the older men that a harsh winter was foretold by the early frost, he rushed to harvest the corn. He worked as quickly as he could, but it was mainly to no avail, and half of his crop was lost to the early bite of winter.

Aluva May Marconi was my great-grandmother. She was nothing less than spunky, elegant, and darling. She went by “Nan” but her grandchildren called her “Nanny” which was fitting because she looked after everyone more than she did herself. If you were to visit her you had better come hungry for Peanut M&M’s, Diet Coke, or cheese and crackers. My Nanny was the type of grandmother who would still send you mail on your birthday, she was the type of grandmother who would show you embarrassing pictures of your mother when you visited her.

Considering the fact that I have lived on eastern long island all my life, it would be thought that I’ve been to all the wildlife refuges possible. Strangely enough, I have never even heard of the “Elizabeth A. Morton National Wildlife Refuge” right off of Noyack Road. This is an upsetting thing after our hike there, it is one of the best refuges I’ve been to in a very long time. The paths are well marked, the bridges and walk ways are well made also the fact that you can literally have wild birds eat out of your hand is amazing. Although this didn’t happen, I’ve been told not just on the hike but by friends that the squirrels and chipmunks will eat out of your hand as well.

Florida is surrounded by water on three of its four sides, creating a multitude of locations one can visit. When thinking about Florida, the first thoughts that come to mind are Disney World, the beautiful beaches, and the blistering heat. However, there happens to be a spectacular little town located in West Central Florida that many people, including Floridians, probably haven 't heard much about.

phonetic alphabet was created by The wooden people vs. Creek Myth, “a traditional story, especially one concerning the early history of people or explaining some natural or social phenomenon.” (Now that is a dictionary version of what myth is and it makes it seem like myths are just stories that people made in the past and believed in.) Although most myths were made to explain the world around people, myths also have themes or lessons in them that can teach people lots of things even in today’s societies.

Ricardo Figueroa Interview - Arika Davis I slouched back into the hard plastic chair. My dark eyes took in all of my surroundings. I carefully studied the dirty green colored carpeted flooring, the stained plaster walls, and the desk that stood before me. My eyes traced along the the legs of desk, which were carved to look like a lion’s leg. My eyes stopped on the foot of the leg.

The lake was cold as glacier ice, a kind of cold that pierces right through your body. It was just us and the open water. There was no one in sight. I didn’t know whether it was beads of sweat or just droplets of water dribbling down my forehead. At that moment I have realized that in life, sometimes people can make poor decisions unintentionally.

Some words Margaret Sanger used include the following: dim, distant, silly, unwelcome, unwanted, unprepared, unknown, exhausted, inefficient, struggle, meaningless, and waste. Including the sentence, “Worry, strain, shock, unhappiness, enforced maternity, may all poison the blood of the enslaved mothers,” provides the negative tone to hint that she does not like the fact that birth control is illegal in the United States. Her habitual word choices is a consequence of where she comes from. Diction reveals things about Sanger’s past and how she reacts and views the present.

When a person is forced into conflict with nature, things don 't usually go as planned because nature is unpredictable and you might I have time to prepare yourself for the worst Leningin must come up with a plan fast before that ants reach his plantation . But who will over come this conflict? Humans or nature?

Trying to prevent neglected children and back-alley abortions, Margaret Sanger gave the moving speech, “The Children’s Era,” in 1925 to spread information on the benefits and need for birth control and women's rights. Margaret Sanger--activist, educator, writer, and nurse--opened the first birth control clinic in the United States and established organizations that evolved into the Planned Parenthood Federation of America. During most of the 1900’s, birth control and abortions were illegal in the United States, causing women to give birth unwillingly to a child they must be fully responsible for. This caused illness and possible death for women attempting self-induced abortion. Sanger uses literary devices such as repetition and analogies

Without opportunities, no one can survive. The cotton system crippled Lalee’s family and the community at large. It left them impaired, oppressed, and helpless. They were oppressed to the point that even after they were freed; they were still slaves mentally and economically. A large group of the people in the community did not move pass “picking cotton”.

‘But we did work it out. You see, before a child comes to one of us there is a period of utter exaltation—the whole being is uplifted and filled with a concentrated desire for that child. We learned to look forward to that period with the greatest caution. Often our young women, those to whom motherhood had not yet come, would voluntarily defer it. When that deep inner demand for a child began to be felt she would deliberately engage in the most active work, physical and mental; and even more important, would solace her longing by the direct care and service of the babies we already had.

“There.” Her hand moved behind his head and supported it. Her fingers moved gently in his hair. She looked up and across the barn, and her lips came together and smiled mysteriously” (Steinbeck 313). This shows that women back then were selfless and found solutions to problems that arose.
