You open your eyes only to see the endless ocean in the sky. You do not see your family, nor your friends. You demand your legs and arms to function, they do not. You beg them to work the one time you need them to, and in defiance to the groan of your bones, you stand. You begin to wonder if this is a dream, a nightmare. It’s not real. I will see them when I wake up. They are fine. It’s not real. The earth rises and in its presence is the rubble of your home, your brother’s home, and your neighbor’s home, scattered and utterly destroyed. With a horrible realization, you start screaming for the arms of your children and wife to wrap around you once again. You can’t hear yourself scream. You can’t hear anything except the deafening silence. You drop to our knees while your eyes are drowned in a river of sorrow.

The following quote of Baba speaking to Amir after he graduates high school emphasizes this. â€Å"‘I am Moftakhar, Amir,’ he said. Proud†(131). As shown by the quote, Baba is like a kite who tried to fly away from Amir due to their differences. But Amir hung onto the string of this kite. He loved Baba and Baba loved him, but they could not express this in Amir’s childhood because of their clashing personalities. When Baba comes to realization that AmirRead MoreSql Research Paper1334 Words   |  6 PagesIntroduction Although many varieties of sophisticated software are available for database construction, they impose very little restriction on their implemented form. Indeed, it would fly in the face of database philosophy to impose the form of implementation, for this would not encourage features like responsiveness to new requests (Bailey, Creel, Grossman, Gutti, and Sivakumar, 55-57). Thus each operational database is unique, even if the software used in constructing it is an industry standardRead MoreCrash Essay2284 Words   |  10 Pagesencounter.

We recognize that we cannot successfully imitate the narrators trick, for unlike him we are flesh and blood: time and death will not pause to see whether we remember their inevitability. The narrator is thus a fly in the soothing ointment of aesthetic distance, figuring and ridiculing both the authors and the readers hope of escape into art.    The irony of all this is that the cynical message of Red Death is at odds with its own power as a workRead MoreTextual Analysis Of Edgar Allen Poe s The Raven 1911 Words   |  8 PagesTextual Analysis of Edgar Allen Poe â€Å"The Raven† Michelle Zaharek December 1, 2014 The Raven Edgar Allen Poe was a poet, author, editor, literary critic, and husband. His works have been pulled apart many times and the DNA of his words dissected by critics and literary analytical writers. He has been the center of attention, but he did not start off that way.
