I’ve seen him many nights
I’ve seen him walking through all the weather
I’ve seen him go almost to the end
He has seen the most deepest and darkest sides of town
He has passed me by many times
Yet he has never answered my concerned questions
I’ve seen him stop, and stay quiet
When hearing pain drawing him back
From where he started
But not being welcomed
Up ahead he saw the moon
Like a clock up in the sky
He couldn’t tell the time, wrong, from right
I’ve seen him many nights
We call it the Spanish Flu, the Spanish call it the French Flu and the Germans call it the Blitzkatarrah, but what exactly to is it?The H1N1 virus killed thousands in 1918. They say it originated from pigs and later named it the Swine Flu. There were many deadly symptoms to this virus. Poet William Carlos Williams stated that “they’d be sick one day and gone the next” (Smith).
The H1N1 virus started in Haskell County, Kansas in 1918. It was also happening in India, Russia and China. It was happening world-wide or a “pandemic” some might say. The flu lasted around nine months but people were not taking it seriously.
There were many serious symptoms to this sickness. They include a drippy nose, 72 hour fever, sore joints and muscles. Others had worse symptoms like, filled lungs, bloody sputum, longer fever, black feet, skin turning blue and then even death.
Gazed into the pond
Someone looking back at me
But not the same face
–
Waves crashing on the shore
Sounds of waves crashing on rocks
White, blue water everywhere
–
Almost touches the sky
Reaching higher, higher to get there
Snow covered tops pilled high
Hold fast to dreams
for when dreams fade away
life is like rain clouds
on a foggy day
Hold fast to dreams
for when dreams display
life is as bright as the sun
on a hot summer day
This comb symbolizes the woman in The Gift of the Magi. She cut off all her hair to show how much she loves her husband. This is shown to him because she sold her hair for money to buy his chain for his watch, that he loved. This is an example of micrography. The comb is made up of words and phrases that symbolize the woman.
I was obsessing
over this thing.
That I,
was never loved.
He was there,
but wasn’t.
He said he loved,
but didn’t.
When we talked,
he just wasn’t there.
When all of a sudden,
he just disappeared.
When he came back around again,
I wasn’t prepared.
Even though I’ve been waiting,
after some time,
we tried to rebuild the trust,
that once was love.
But little did I know,
he was just going to
break my heart,
again.
I chose to do this because in the story Tell Tale Heart the man has a fake eye and thats what I modeled above with my brother. I edited the photo on the app Eye Tuner. I chose this eye because it looked old and technical.
I have mixed feelings about weather or not the doctor did the right thing. If he didn’t tell him he could’ve just been depressed the rest of his life and be happy about his trip. He didn’t tell him that he had cancer se he wanted to do other things. He went on his trip and when he came back he found out he didn’t have cancer. If I were the elderly man I would’ve been very upset because I would have been worried for nothing. I would rather have my doctor just tell me flat out whats wrong with me. I wouldn’t want to be guessing if I’m ok or not. His doctor just worried about him.
“Eyes are more accurate than ears”, that means that when you hear something it may not be correct. If you see something it could just be a rumor or something someone else heard. If you see something it is more likely to be right because you were there and you saw it.
