A Whippoorwill in the Woods


Night after night, it was very nearly enough,
they said, to drive you crazy: a whippoorwill
in the woods repeating itself like the stuck groove
of an LP with a defect, and no way possible
(5) of turning the thing off.


And night after night, they said, in the insomniac
small hours the whipsawing voice of obsession
would have come in closer, the way a sick
thing does when it's done for—or maybe the reason
(10) was nothing more melodramatic


than a night-flying congregation of moths, lured in
in their turn by house-glow, the strange heat
of it—imagine the nebular dangerousness, if one
were a moth, the dark pockmarked with beaks, the great
(15) dim shapes, the bright extinction—


if moths are indeed, after all, what a whippoorwill
favors. Who knows? Anyhow, from one point of view
insects are to be seen as an ailment, moths above all:
the filmed-over, innumerable nodes of spun-out tissue
(20) untidying the trees, the larval


spew of such hairy hordes, one wonders what use
they can be other than as a guarantee no bird
goes hungry. We're like that. The webbiness,
the gregariousness of the many are what we can't abide.
(25) We single out for notice


above all what's disjunct, the way birds are,
with their unhooked-up, cheekily anarchic
dartings and flashings,their uncalled-for color—
the indelible look of the rose-breasted grosbeak
(30) an aunt of mine, a noticer


of such things before the noticing had or needed
a name, drew my five-year-old attention up to, in
the green deeps of a maple. She never married,
believed her cat had learned to leave birds alone,
(35) and for years, node after node,


by lingering degrees she made way within for
what wasn't so much a thing as it was a system,
a webwork of error that throve until it killed her.
What is health? We must all die sometime.
(40) Whatever it is out there


in the woods, that begins to seem like
a species of madness, we survive as we can:
the hooked-up, the humdrum, the brief, tragic
wonder of being at all. The whippoorwill out in
(45) the woods, for me, brought back


as by a relay, from a place at such a distance
no recollection now in place could reach so far,
the memory of a memory she told me of once:
of how her father, my grandfather, by whatever
(50) now unfathomable happenstance,


carried her (she might have been five) into the breathing night.
"Listen!" she said he'd said. “Did you hear it?
That was a whippoorwill.” And she (and I) never forgot.

PLEASE ANSWER! ILL GIVE BRAINLIST!

I never thought departing the trail just a little would be a big deal. My parents had cautioned me so many times about wandering off and how easy it is to get disoriented. But, I wasn't planning to go very far. In fact, I kept looking back to make sure I could retrace my steps. Looking back didn't work. All of the trees began to look the same, and nothing looked familiar. It wasn't until I finally decided to make my way back that I realized I was lost! I had gone much farther, and for much longer, than I had planned.


The warmth that the sun had brought to the forest in the daytime was now quickly disappearing. My parents' warnings came racing through my head. What did they tell me to do if ever I got lost? Over and over they drilled into me, "The most important thing to remember is S.T.O.P.!" It's an acronym for sit, think, observe, and plan. I stopped, sat down on the forest floor, and pulled my knees in close. It was cooling off, and a light drizzle was dampening the forest. I was lonely and scared. I knew that to survive, I had to stay warm, and I needed to drink water. Before I got any wetter, I made a very crude lean-to from the nearby branches and foliage. I managed to collect a bunch of dry leaves for a mattress. It was dark now. I took off my T-shirt and wrapped it around my legs, pulled on my hoodie, and curled up on the bed of leaves. I couldn't sleep. It was a cold, dark, and spooky night, and I was hungry.


It felt like forever before the dawn filtered through the trees the next day. I knew I had to remain calm and make my whereabouts known. My family would be searching for me. I pulled out the only tool I had brought with me, my voice! I began to yell as loudly as I could,


"Help! I'm over here!"


Soon, very faintly at first, I could hear voices. I knew it was the search party, so I kept yelling and then listening. They kept calling out my name, and I kept replying until we were together. My dad was holding me close when he reprimanded me,


"Don't you know you were late for supper? I'm disappointed that you wandered off. I'm glad you told us where you were going, and I'm proud of you for remembering the survival techniques. But, I bet you won't do that again, eh?"


"Nah, I think I learned my lesson," I answered sheepishly.


Read the story The Rescue:


Captain Henry was said to be one of the best divers in Bayfield, Wisconsin, and now he is said to be the best ship captain. However, this evening on Lake Superior was different from any other evening that Captain Henry had seen. It was a wavy and stormy night on the lake. Captain Henry was directing all of his strength to hold the steering wheel and control the ship. The waves were the size of mammoths, and the boat continued to fill with angry water. Captain Henry yelled at his fellow sailors to scoop out the water that was weighing down the ship, but the sailors could not work any faster. "We are sinking! We are sinking!" shouted the sailors.


Captain Henry knew that they were in trouble. With little time to spare before the ship began to sink into Lake Superior, Captain Henry made an urgent call to his older brother. His older brother had helped him with everything from cuts to broken bones all of his life. He was a father figure to Captain Henry. Coincidently, his older brother was also the strongest, bravest, and most dedicated coastguard in Bayfield, Wisconsin. Luckily, with Lake Superior just north of Bayfield, Captain Henry's brother would hopefully be able to rescue them soon. Captain Henry began to desperately flash the emergency lights on the boat so that his brother could find him. In the distance, the sailors pointed to a boat coming their way and tooting its horn. As Captain Henry's brother arrived, he threw a rope to the sailors and pulled them to safety. Standing on the boat, wrapped in blankets, the sailors, Captain Henry, and his brother watched the ship sink. "All good things must come to an end," stated Captain Henry, sadly. "But, hey! Now, you can practice your diving again and go see your ship at the bottom of the lake," joked Captain Henry's brother.

Read the excerpts from "opening statements from john f. kennedy and richard m. nixon first televised debate." kennedy: therefore, i think the question before the american people is: are we doing as much as we can do? are we as strong as we should be? are we as strong as we must be if we're going to maintain our independence, and if we're going to maintain and hold out the hand of friendship to those who look to us for assistance, to those who look to us for survival? i should make it very clear that i do not think we're doing enough, that i am not satisfied as an american with the progress that we're making. nixon: let's look at the record. is the united states standing still? is it true that this administration, as senator kennedy has charged, has been an administration of retreat, of defeat, of stagnation? . . . let's put it in terms of the average family. what has happened to you? we find that your wages have gone up five times as much in the eisenhower administration as they did in the truman administration. . . . now, this is not standing still. which statement best compares or contrasts nixon's and kennedy's positions on the average american's economic position? question 3 options: kennedy believes that friendship is the key to economic success, while nixon thinks economic success depends on hard work. kennedy believes that economic progress for most americans has been slow, while nixon believes good progress has been made.

Shakespeare uses the word vile rather than sharp or bloody to describe the assassins’ daggers. This helps the audience understand the power of the use of flattery and kindness to confuse the play’s characters. That antongy viewed the men who killed caesar as vicious and despicable. The frailty of caesar before he was attacked. The weakness of the weapons used to kill caesar.

Overwhelmed

It clings to your sweater like a child with its mother
Hoarding your dreams like a dragon with gold
Oh, isn’t it clever
It floats around like a balloon without a tether
It makes me rethink again and again
For so much things are going on in my head

The wind drifts away, the clouds pour in shame, the sun goes away
I’m left with worry stuck in my head
I have to do this, I have to do that
When will I get all this done?

A load off my shoulders could not feel better
Weights that are tremendously heavy, no longer burdens
But the feeling feels well since it provides a purpose
Things to do that ease boredom

Growing like a weed that cannot be cut
What could be done?
What more could I do?
Buried in a sea of dreams that are floating around just in my reach
I guess you could say that is overwhelming but it’s more of anticipation
I smell success in the air if I followed my nose

It is almost like a plant this feeling
You feed it with your fears
Water it with your tears
Give it sun with your smiles
You make it grow into a beautiful flower

On the way you feel tired
You have to work so hard or get left behind
Do you know what happens to carbon under pressure?
A diamond appears , a lovely sparkling one
But we are not so
We crumble under pressure
