I Can Feel the Raindrops
Each one is as unique as can be.

I wonder if raindrops ever get lonely. They fall through the sky, hit the ground, and spread out.

They're surrounded by one another, but are they together? Do they think of themselves as part of a whole? Do they think themselves separate beings?

I don't think they're part of a whole. I don't think that at all.

People think of my school as a whole. "They like school more than friends." I hear it all the time.

I know the ones they speak of; they make up about one fiftieth of the student body.

I guess none of us are "different" enough to be given a chance.

So, for now, I'll regard each raindrop as something I wish to be thought of as.

Each raindrop will be… an individual.

I see through this hole in the trance of mystery.
Dishuichuanshi, should be so be it.
I sigh to: This is really a small drop in the sculptor of nature. At the same time, I saw this little drop of spirit.
Some may drop laments the life is not long, it will touch the pieces on the rocks. Yes, it is broken, but with this ticking sound, but by virtue of his own strength, his perseverance, left on the stone, eternal traces.

I had been brought up with a phobia for rain. My parents had made it clear that if I got wet in the rain, I would die for sure. I had always thought of rain as an enemy. Even when I learnt about the life giving water cycle, I did not see rain as the great boon it was. After learning about the water cycle.
I accepted rain as a fact of

    A Steady Rain

    • 1032 Words
    • 5 Pages

    It’s your typical cop movie, findable on the local channels. Two police officers claim to use their power for the good of the people, but find out how much easier it is to take matters into their own hands. Although we all can get this on our television for free, director Tazewell Thompson takes Keith Huff’s “A Steady Rain” and turns it into something worth paying for, or did he? The set is completely simple; as a matter of fact I must say it is very uncreative. There are two seats in the front and several are lined up in the back making two single rows. In the far back and sides of the stage, there are blinds with cracks in it as if people have been peeping through them. No art work, not even a coffee table, just chairs and blinds surrounded the stage. It took a while but it hit me, it is an interrogation room. Now, the only thing I predict coming is be a waste of hard earn money and angry people in the audience asking for a refund. But when the two actors came out and started to talk to the audience as if we were a part of the act, it startled me and caught my attention. I’m really in for the night of my life and if you were in my shoes, you’ll be to. This is definitely not your typical play; loyalty, friendship, and lives are at stake. Huff wants us to understand that it does not matter how long or how close you are with someone because in a split second they can betray you.…

    From nerd to jock there are many different types of people at our school. In between those two you have neutral people who make average grades and are somewhat cool to talk to and then as popularity increases you have your normal spoiled rich kids who are in AP classes and typically feel they can do everything they want to do just like the jocks except the fact that even though the jocks are extremely popular you have to understand the fact that they only make only about a C average so they can play football. You see a lot of lower class men such as freshman get the bullying because they are what we call "fresh meat." And its mainly your nerd kids as well as unpopular kids that get bullied cause they try to at cool like the others do. But, everyone denies the people who try compared to the ones that are.

    There Will Come Soft Rains

    • 1055 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Science-fiction texts often use vivid storytelling so as to allow the reader to grasp an overall idea and gain an insight into a world that is often filled with chaos and disorder. There Will Come Soft Rains by Ray Bradbury is a story that takes place in the future but takes its name from a 19th century writer. It is a story that takes a science-fiction plot and embroils it with real life moral and philosophical concerns. Bradbury’s protagonist is a house standing alone in a world destroyed by nuclear war in the 1950’s. When the story was written, the fear of devastating effects of nuclear war was painfully clear in peoples’ minds. With the use of narrative elements such as setting, language conventions, tone and structure, Bradbury is able to communicate his representation of an event, as well as his argument about the concern of humanity being brought to an end by our own ignorance. He is able to communicate this message to the reader whilst depicting a world in which human beings have been destroyed, rather than saved, by their own technology after the event of a…

    ‘Hundreds of fish swimming together is called a school. A pack of foraging baboons is a troupe. A half dozen crows on a telephone wire is a murder. A gam is a group of whales. But what is a collection of human beings called? A group’. (Forsyth, 2006 P.2) A group can consist of two or more people interacting. Bruce Tuckman and Meredith Belbin both devised theories relating to the interactions and dynamics of groups, whilst Tuckman concentrated on the group as a whole, Belbin focused on the roles individuals played within a group. ‘For centuries, sages and scholars have been fascinated by groups – by the way they form, change over time, dissipate unexpectedly, achieve great goals, and sometimes commit great wrongs’…

    Storytellers use short stories to portray people, places and ideas in order to entertain and engage the audience’s interest. The success of any story depends upon the way is it told as to achieve its purpose the author intended. Composers of texts use a variety of narrative techniques to convey the themes, characters, setting and plot of the story to the responder and thus fulfill its purpose. I will be illustrating this through the analysis of the Henry Lawson stories including “The Drover’s Wife” and “The Loaded Dog” and through other related texts “There Will Come Soft Rains” by Ray Bradbury and “Charles” by Shirley Jackson. These stories present a variety of techniques in order…

    “Jock”, “prep”, “loser”, “geek”, “criminal”, “ popular”, are just a few labels of teenagers that are used everyday by outsiders who judge them without looking skin deep. In the matter of stereotyping, some may perceive it as being the base of an identity in the view of society. Stereotyping is categorized and used as a positive view. As opposed to the film The Breakfast Club, that creates a more negative input on stereotyping. Peer groups have really changed over the years in a High school atmosphere.…

    Every school you attend is going to have different types of groups or as most people call them “cliques” no matter where you go, all schools have them. These are small groups of kids with common interests and who have lots of things in common. The types of “cliques” you associate yourself with are always so important to kids these days. Being a part of a popular “clique” usually brings you up on the social scale and that’s what so many kids focus on. It always matters who you hang out with, what sports or clubs you involve yourself with. So if you were to come in to high school where would you fall?…

    ‘There Will Come Soft Rains’ made me feel absolutely devastated. Immersing me slowly in its melancholy world of rubbles, dust and ashes burning away in a nuclear war. Is by far the shortest, sharpest and most depressing short story that I have ever read. ‘There Will Come Soft Rains’ is a snapshot that perfectly captures all of the social paranoias in society during the post war period of the 1950s. Rendering the beautiful and power mind of Ray Bradbury in a 4 page short story. Bradbury was at his absolute best when portraying the overwhelming sense of desolation and bleakness throughout the story. Like Ray Bradbury’s other short story ‘The Veldt’, ‘There Will Come Soft Rains’ is a story that is able to teach yet another stingingly unforgettable lesson about technology that shines…

    On the first day of school there’s always that one person you tend to spot in class that makes you think “I need to sit by them,” that is your ultimate school friend. A school friend is the friend that you only talk to at school; you guys never hang out outside of school but are extremely close. Similar to a best friend, except, you don’t get to see them outside of school for whatever the circumstances may be. I have plenty of school friends, such as my classmates, the person who get lost on the first day and asks me for help, and the ones who accidentally bump into me and start a conversation. I’ve had countless amount of school friends, I’m sure everyone has, and usually they end up become your best friend.…
