resident Gregory King and his entourage strolled into the presidential quarters, which to Greg’s surprise appeared untouched since he’d left, except for Stone’s bolted cages covering the windows. The lamps fizzed as they were lit. “Oh, look at all this dust,” Lass said, removing her helmet and shaking out a mane of wavy blonde hair. “They could have at least kept it clean.” Lawrence, his armor still in place, surveyed the door. “I can move the locks back to our side if someone can find me a wrench and bit set.” He rattled the bolts, nodding. “Also the windows.” Greg remembered the hidden passageways that led to the back garden. He knew Stone had sealed them, but he didn’t know how difficult that might be to reverse. For now, he had

  • A Book Review Of 3 Kings By Zach O Malley Greenburg

    847 Words  | 4 Pages

    Gabriel Jasper Professor Goldstein CSFRST 2300 26 March 2023 Book Review of 3 Kings by Zach O'Malley Greenburg Throughout the novel 3 Kings by Zach O’Malley Greenburg there are many prominent brands that were cornerstones to Hip-Hop and early pop culture. One of the first brands that really stood out to me was Death Row Records which was founded by Dr. Dre and was home to other successful artists such as Snoop Dog and Tupac Shakur. Along with Death Row Records was their “Not so Friendly Neighbors” Bad Boy Entertainment which boasted an equally as impressive lineup with the likes of The Notorious B.I.G. and P Diddy. In addition to the impressive record labels, these artists had even more brands that they have established in their own respective

  • Henry Bailey-Personal Narrative

    1283 Words  | 6 Pages

    Henry Bailey suffered from bronchial troubles. He would cough and cough until his narrow face turned scarlet, and his light blue, derisive eyes filled up with tears; then he took the lid off the stove, and, standing well back, shot out a great clot of phlegm – hss – straight into the heart of the flames. We admired his for this performance and for his ability to make his stomach growl at will, and for his laughter, which was full of high whistlings and gurglings and involved the whole faulty machinery of his chest. It was sometimes hard to tell what he was laughing at, and always possible that it might be us. After we had sent to be we could still smell fox and still hear Henry's laugh, but these things reminders of the warm, safe, brightly lit downstairs world, seemed lost and diminished, floating on the stale cold air upstairs.

  • Masculinity In King's Failed Fatherhood

    183 Words  | 1 Pages

    In king’s novels external agencies-from alcoholism to supernatural possession, passion through experimental drugs and evil patriarchal men- are invoked not so much to excuse the father’s behavior as to explain the dark roots of victimization. His men may not be fully responsible for their acts, yet Kind should not be taken for a simple-minded patriarch justifying men’s faults. His work is symptomatic of a complex social and cultural situation in which men are split between a masochistic need to assume their guilt and take punishment and a sadistic need to deny guilt and recover their lost privileges. King looks into the darkest aspects of masculinity and considering how the destruction of the current model of failed fatherhood may bring hope
