My childhood wasn’t the best; I grew up in Magna, Utah with six other siblings in a four bedroom home. We didn’t know what love was. My stepmother was too busy with reading her books and playing computer games while my father was always busy working or doing whatever he did essentially never being there for us. My mother passed away when I was very young of cancer. Up until maybe six or seven years old, we were actively going to church each week and happily enjoying each other as a family. I remember being as a kid very friendly and very respecting of my parents. As I grew older that changed, I realized how immoral parents they were. We were treated like it was in the latter day’s society. While they ate steak, sea food or Chinese, we ate mac and cheese. I felt like a red headed step child.
As a teenager I leaned a very good skill that still is with me today. Around 14 years old I was bored getting into trouble and into marijuana with my friends. I learned of this job through a friend doing landscaping and mowing lawns. I learned great work ethics working this job for several years all the way through high school. Aalst there was a down fall in having a job through my parents eyes, I had to fend for myself in the means of buying my own food and school cloths. The second part of that was that I had money and didn’t know what to do with it. My parents were to busy to teach me about finance and money. I figured that if I have money, go spend it. I never learned about savings or having to put it in the bank for emergencies. After high school and being on my own for a while I learned a little bit about money. I was working a very good job at Granite Furniture making about 45,000 a year. Still not really knowing about savings I spent all the money that I earned on stupid items that I did not need.
My life totally changed when I met my beautiful,

Lumber Room

...First World War. His sister in her Biography of Saki writes: “One of Munro’s aunts, Augusta, was a woman of ungovernable temper, of fierce likes and dislikes, imperious, and moral coward, possessing no brains worth speaking of, and a primitive disposition.” Naturally the last person who should have been in charge of children. The character of the aunt in the Lumber – Room is Aunt Augusta to the life. The text tells us a story about a small boy Nicholas, who was brought up by his tyrannical and ungoverned aunt Augusta. He was "in disgrace" as he had refused to eat his wholesome bread-and-milk that morning. When children were taken to Jagborough sands Nicholas made some attempts to get into the gooseberry garden. As a matter of fact, he had no intention of trying to get into the gooseberry garden, but it...

Lumber Room

...refused to eat his bread-and-milk in a bowl, which contains a frog. Scolded for speaking nonsense as there could not be a frog in his dish, Nicholas insists that there is, indeed, a frog, since he has put it there himself. Then Nicholas is scolded further for his audacity in taking a frog from the garden; however, he perceives only the older person's misjudgment in arguing that there could be no such creature in his bread and milk. Deprived of the supposedly festive privilege of the beach, Nicholas informs his aunt that his cousin Bobby will not enjoy himself since his boots are too tight and his other cousin has scraped her knee. She scolds him for not informing her of Bobby's boots and issues an order: "You are not to go into the gooseberry garden." But since she is convinced that he will do so, Nicholas manoeuvres his way toward one of the garden doors, knowing that the aunt is watching. He then doubles back and goes into the library, where he takes down the key to the lumber room. Once inside the lumber room, lit only by a high window, Nicholas is met with a world that stirs his imagination. A piece of framed tapestry becomes a living story of a hunter with a stag he has shot with an arrow, being pursued by several wolves; a teapot is delightful, a book of birds resplendent, and a carved sandalwood box...

Does affect the action of theme of the story? Does it do anything to change the story? The Gooseberries, it is an entertained story to read. It is packed with details and lot of information in reference to the environment, characters and themes of the story. After reading the story and amused myself, I was able to determine that the rain is not a relevant or main factor in the story. The story tells the reader about the trip of two friends Ivan and Burkin were doing, where rain was present; also, it tells us about a friend of Ivan and Burking named Alekhin, who is where Ivan and Burkin found shelter in the middle of that rainy day. The rain plays a passive roll throughout the story but it does contribute to it. This story begins with two friends Ivan and Burkin doing a trip; where based on the great details given by the author we have the privilege of pictured the wet and rough environment they were going through. At the beginning it describes how cloudy and dark the sky was. The story states that both kept on thinking when the rain was going to come. It also gives as an idea on how long they were walking since the story tell us that they walked until they were very tired; in addition the author describes to us the way how the dogs were wet and also the amount of mud these...

Top 10 Home Remedies of Skin

...Top 10 Home Remedies For Skin Tags: Certain home remedies can help remove skin tags naturally. You can apply a bandage over the area, whenever you apply any kind of paste to prevent it from falling off.  1. Lemon Juice: The citric acid in lemon juice removes the dead cells. Dip a cotton ball in lemon juice and apply it over the tag. Wash it off after some time. Do this twice or thrice a week. In 2-3 weeks, you will notice that the skin tag is slowly decomposing. 2. Castor Oil: Mix a little castor oil with baking powder to form a paste. It can be very sticky. Keep repeating the process for two to four weeks, and you will notice the skin tag disappearing slowly. 3. Dental Floss: Another method is by tying a dental floss around the tag. This is done to stop the blood supply to it. After a short period, you will notice that the tag has darkened, and it will fall off in 2 to 3 weeks. 4. Garlic: Garlic is antibacterial and antifungal. Crush some fresh garlic cloves into a paste. Now, apply it over the skin tag. Wash it off. After a few days, the tag will drop off, leaving smooth skin behind. 5. Banana Peel: Banana peel also seems effective to remove skin tag. Just cut a small portion of the peel. Apply the fibrous part of the peel on the tag. Repeat the process for a few days until the tag falls off. 6. Aspirin: Aspirin dries off the skin. Dissolve an aspirin in water to make a paste and apply it over the tag. 7. Mixed Vegetables: Mix the juices of potato, cauliflower...

A Closer Look at the Work of Dh Lawrence

...A Closer Look At The Work Of DH Lawrence Throughout the work of DH Lawrence there is the common theme of the relationships between men and women. In these three stories we explore the uncertainties of romantic love. All of the characters discover that they have not seen the other as they truly are but rather as an idealized and impossible halucination. In Elizabeth's case in Odour of Chrysanthemums she realizes the truth of her relationship with her husband Walt when she is faced with his death. The cold room magnifies the feeling of their distance, and when she compares Walt's mothers response to her own she knows she has not loved him or ever really seen him. Hilda reveals to Syson that he never could accept her how she truly is, that he could never love her if he really saw her, and this is why she broke things off with him. Hilda shows off the antique chair she has found, and Syson is suprised that she would like something like this. He begins to notice Hilda may not be the person he thinks he knows.

Old Sly Eye

...Old Sly Eye One of my fondest memories of my grandfather is his favorite story he loved to tell every time he visited. Though he had many fun and exciting stories, this specific story had quickly become my favorite also. It is the story of “Old Sly Eye”. As a younger boy, Grandpa Newman was outside in a large berry patch located in their backyard in Salt Lake City, UT. As he was picking raspberries, gooseberries, and blackberries he saw something slowly stirring towards him over on the row next to him. It was the biggest porcupine he had ever seen. He noticed his eyes blood red and the quills were like small arrows the Indians used. He sat there looking mean and mad. Grandpa didn’t want the porcupine to get old Jazz, his sidekick dog, and fill him full of quills, so he hurried up to the house to get his gun. Unfortunately, his shotgun was out of shells and had to rely on the 22, the only other gun he had. With no other choice, he loaded the 22 and headed back down to the berry patch to find the porcupine. Grandpa silently went up and down the rows, but could not see him. Finally, as he approached the blackberries, there was the porcupine as if he was waiting there for him to come back. Grandpa and the porcupine were only a few feet from one another. He knew his little 22 wasn’t as efficient as his shotgun. His plan was to shoot the porcupine in the eye in hopes to hit his brain. The trigger was pulled. Grandpa had shot the porcupine in the eye but amazingly...

The Lumber Room

...older, wiser, and better people had been proved to be profoundly in error in matters about which they had expressed the utmost assurance. In her humiliating defeat in proving her judgment wrong, the aunt retaliates by denying him a trip to the Jagborough beach.  However, Nicholas again revenges himself as he informs her with a "grim chuckle" that "Bobby won't enjoy himself much, and he won't race much either...his boots are hurting him. They're too tight."  When the aunt seeks to diffuse her responsibility in this matter by saying that Bobby did not say anything, Nicholas points out her obtuseness because he did, indeed, tell her but she failed to listen.  So, in retaliation for this defeat, the aunt forbids Nicholas to go into the gooseberry garden.  Saki's satire of the mindless manner of the upper crust aunt is evinced in her reply to Nicholas's inquiry as to why he cannot enter this garden: "'Because you are in disgrace,' said the aunt loftily." "[A] woman of few ideas, with immense powers of concentration," the aunt assumes that the defiant Nicholas will slip into the garden, so she...

Anton Chekhov Research Paper

...and artistic struggles. In 1896, The Seagull opened in St. Petersburg at the Alexandrinksy Theatre. It was mistakenly produced as a comedy and ended up a disaster. It was booed off of the stage. This had Chekhov vowing to never write for the theatre again. Just a year before, the Moscow Art Theatre opened for business (this theatre later built a strong partnership with Chekhov). In the coming years, Anton would come to terms with the fact that he was a longtime sufferer of tuberculosis which had, by this time, caused consumption. He wrote the story Peasants in 1897. In 1898, Anton sold his home in Melikhovo and began construction on a villa in Yalta. That year, he wrote the assumed trilogy that consists of the stories Man in a Shell, Gooseberries, and Concerning Love. Also that year, the Moscow Art Theatre reproduced The Seagull. This time it was an utter success. The following year, Anton released a rewritten version of The Wood Demon under a different title, Uncle Vanya. This was the second play of his that the Moscow Art Theatre would produce. Having been rewritten, this time it was widely praised. In 1900, Chekhov submitted the play The Three Sisters to the same theatre company and in 1901, it was produced. The play didn’t see as much success as the others due to poor understanding of the content and characters. In the previous year or two a young actress who acted in his plays, named Olga Knipper, had caught the eye of Anton and they developed a romantic relationship. In...
