Ticking
Like the restless heart
Informing us
We must move on--
Leave the island now
From the Flight Club:
" One hundred and ninety floors up, you look over the edge of the roof and the street below is mottled with a shaggy carpet of people, standing and looking up. The breaking glass is from a window right below us. A wind blows outside of the building, and then comes a file cabinetas big as a black refrigerator."

Black Elk
In the essay "The Offering of the Pipe" by Black Elk, it is evident that the religion of Black Elk and his tribe is very nature- based. Throughout the essay nature is constantly referred to and it seems to have religious importance.
When Black Elk describes the Great Spirit he invokes animals and nature in general as an integral part of the scheme of things. When he makes an offering to God he mentions " the great cleansing wind ... whence come the summer and the power to grow." (2). Here there is a strong emphasis on nature and its relationship to the spirit.
The mysterious woman who appeared in Black Elk's story concerning the origin of the pipe --handed a man a pipe with a bison's head carved on it. The pipe was a direct conduit to the Great Spirit--and a bison was part of that conduit--again conveying the importance of nature in Black Elk's religion.
In summary, nature was an integral part of Black Elk's religion, and was used used to communicate with the Great Spirit.

Solution Paper Example
Solution
Paper
***** Present the Issue
Homelessness
is a problem in the city of Boston. According to The Boston Globe there are
over 2,000 people on the streets of our city.
A fair percentage of those folks have been displaced from their homes
because of the high cost of renting an apartment. I believe a solution to this
issue will be to increase the number of low income slots that a developer must
provide for new housing permits to be granted.
***** Talk about the Issue -- make a compelling case
Elaborate
on issue. Research you have done—personal anecdotes.
On
any given day the Pine Street Inn—a major homeless shelter in the South End of
Boston-- is flooded with homeless people. The director, Joe Schwartz states
in an interview with The New York Times, “There are not enough beds for all our
potential clients… and it is hard to place people because of the exorbitant
rents in the city. The average rent in the city of Boston for a residential
unit is 2,000 a month…” ( cite)
****** Propose your solution
Presently
the number of apartments allocated to low income tenants is 2 percent. I propose
a 5% jump. According to the Wall Street Journal a 5% percent jump is sufficient
to take over 1,000 people off the streets of our city. ( cite—paraphrase)
********* Answer objections to your solution
The
Boston Realtor’s Association claims that this will dampen growth in the city.
But a study at MIT, from the Urban institute refutes this: “The real estate
industry constantly overestimates the negatives on this issue.”

Sample Essay Black Elk
In the article, " Black Elk Speaks: The Offering of the Pipe," Black Elk, a Native American chief, is the polar opposite of our Commander-in-Chief Donald Trump. Unlike Trump, Black Elk has a pervasive sense of modesty and humility.
Donald Trump always touts his accomplishments and rarely admits his mistakes. Elk offers an antidote to this with this statement that deals with his life, " I have made much meat in my time...So have others and have done better than I." (1).
Elk unlike Trump admits that he can be weak just like any man or woman. Here he speaks to God, "This is my prayer, hear me! The voice I have sent is weak..." (6).
In conclusion, Black Elk is a leader who can admit his faults, his failures, his weakness, and admit that he is human like the rest of us. Sadly, Donald Trump lacks these qualities.

Prompt Three: Enemy Relationships as Children
Prompt Three: Enemy Relationships as Children
Write about your characters as children responding to a bitter enemy.
Enemies look very different from childhood to adulthood, but that makes them no less serious. Kids have very distinct ideas about bad people. Those may be serious bullies, or terrible schoolmates, or even someone in their home. This is the person who would, your character knew, leave them to drown in an accident.
The way your character dealt with enemies in their youth has a lot to do with how they deal with them as adults because it involves assumptions about other people’s thoughts and emotions.
It also involves how your characters prepare to defend themselves, emotionally and physically, which is a whole other kettle of fish. “They always___” what? What does your character assume?
