One day, when Harry was using the toilet at a gas station, the man in the next stall suddenly asked, "Hey! How are you doing?"Harry thought it was a little strange to talk to strangers when he was on the toilet, but he also felt that it would be rude if he didn't answer, so he said, "Not bad, how about you?" The man next door asked again, "So, where are you going?" "Oh, I'm going to south on business, "Harry answered. He felt more comfortable this time. "And you?" The man in the next stall got silent for a while, and then he said, "I'll have to call you back later. There is a crazy man next to me that keeps answering my questions before you do!"

Catch a cold

Today, It rains heavily. Unfortunately, I forgot bring my umbrella. After eating lunch,

went to bed to sleep.

poem

The watch

I wakened on my hot, hard bed,
Upon the pillow lay my head;
Beneath the pillow I could hear
My little watch was ticking clear.
I thought the throbbing of it went
Like my continual discontent.
I thought it said in every tick:
I am so sick, so sick, so sick:
O death, come quick, come quick, come quick,
Come quick, come quick, come quick, come quick!
.......................by Frances Cornford(1886-1960)




The poem expressed that people have no choice to face the death.
First, the sentence,"Upon the pillow lay my head", symbolized passive life. Second, poet used "so sick" thrice to make readers feel the man was so weak. Finally, "come quick" appeared many times, and emphasized the man's fear and nerve.
