In a "Granny and the Golden Bridge"
Claribel Alegria's Granny and the Golden Bridge is set against the backdrop of the civil war El Salvador in the 1980s.
In it, Manuel tells a story about his insane grandmother, an vivacious old woman who spends all day cooking to regale the government troops stationed around the Golden Bridge. The bridge is latterly blown up by rebels, and it is expose that they had received intelligence about the bridge's cover from Manuel's Grandmother. She dress up herself as a brothel-owner to escape capture, and the last image of her. In the story is when she is paddling a canoe upriver, carrying munitions for the rebel forces.
Jack Aqueroses's  "Agua Viva; a Sculpture by Alfred Gozalez; tells the story of Fifty Fredo, a mentally disturbed hermit who control scrap metal and hasn't shaved or bathed in fives years. Aqueros uses long, run-on sentences to convey Fredo's manic, compulsive inner world, a world as impenetrable as the scrap iron creations he builds in his workshop. A violent encounter with some neighborhood boys is his first human contact of any kind in years, and it seems to be the first step towards returning to society.

Create a poem about cars
Rudiy27

Answer:

See explanation for answer. ( Yes, this is my original work. )

Explanation:

Driving by fast on the freeway

Gas station trips every other day

All different colors and designs

Cars are like people in life

The people drive the car but the car has a mind of its own

Showing them off at expensive car shows

You can put a new coat of paint on it

But that scratch on the bumper are like your scars within

And there's no hiding

Cause cars are the danger you don't see coming

I hope this helps!

Have a lovely day!

Why is it more important to pursue what makes you happy and passionate rather than a higher paycheck or better social status?
tatiyna

Answer:

In my experience you have two choices. You can either work during the week doing something you are not passionate about but make more money and do whatever you want on the weekends, or you can work for what you are passionate about 24/7  but make less money.

Personally I will pursue the second option because I feel that life is too short for me to live out my days in a box office.
