Ali Wally Professor Perez Literature 221 25 September 2013 Connection’s Throughout this eight-week Literature class we have read many short stories and poems. When I started the class I didn’t know what to expect and as the class went on I continuously learned more about different types of writing and most importantly myself.

busses and hotels with the physical work of being on your feet for 8 hours, it's pretty exhausting. A year ago, after one of these workshops, I went back to my room and laid down on the bed.

to leave the house-door wide Until they had lit the lamp inside. A LATE WALK by: Robert Frost (1874-1963) HEN I go up through the mowing field, The headless aftermath, Smooth-laid like thatch with the heavy dew, Half closes the garden path. And when I come to the garden ground, The whir of sober birds Up from the tangle of withered weeds Is sadder than any words. A tree beside the wall stands bare, But a leaf that lingered brown, Disturbed, I doubt not, by my thought

Part 1 No Difference Small as a peanut, Big as a giant, We're all the same size When we turn off the light Rich as a sultan, Poor as a mite, We're all worth the same When we turn off the light. Red, black or orange, Yellow or white, We all look the same When we turn off the light. So maybe the way To make everything right Is for God to just reach out And turn off the light! Sheldon Allan Silverstein This poem was selected by me for many reasons. My faith in God makes

energy source that provides 20% of America’s electricity, as well as one of the lowest-cost providers of large-scale electricity. Like any concept, however, nuclear power is not a perfect, smooth road, but rather a rickety, unpaved path with its fair share of deep pits and worn potholes. Risks must be taken in order to ensure the efficiency and production of nuclear energy, and occasionally those risks backfire, caused by a faulty generator or a tiny malfunction. When this happens, such as at Chernobyl
