<view this essay>.... the repeated action of doing anything
that I find enjoyable on a regular basis.
Through the jobs I have held both at a local pizza restaurant and movie

longer there. I can easily remember back before my first job at the pizzeria
when I savored the opportunity to eat pizza as often as I could. Now, thanks to
the fact that I ate pizza almost every time I worked during that year, pizza

In the Garden of the Blind, Patrick observes the blind woman's remaining eye "darting", "moving with delight", "and alighting", all easily visualized. Later in the stor .....

An Analysis Of Buried Child
<view this essay>.... pregnant with someone else. It is suggested that Tilden is the father. The evidence to support this includes the fact that the baby was small, and that Tilden would sing to it and take it for long walks all day, just talking to it and treating it as his own. “Tilden
