    The Things They Carried By Tim O’Brien The Things They Carried First Lieutenant Jimmy Cross carried letters from a girl named Martha, a junior at Mount Sebastian College in New Jersey. They were not love letters, but Lieutenant Cross was hoping, so he kept them folded in plastic at the bottom of his rucksack. In the late afternoon, after a day's march, he would dig his foxhole, wash his hands under a canteen, unwrap the letters, hold them with the tips of his fingers, and spend the last hour of light pretending. He would imagine romantic camping trips into the White Mountains in New Hampshire. He would sometimes taste the envelope flaps, knowing her tongue had been there. More than anything, he wanted Martha to love him as he loved her, but the letters were mostly chatty, elusive on the matter of love. She was a virgin, he was almost sure. She was an English major at Mount Sebastian, and she wrote beautifully about her professors and roommates and midterm exams, about her respect for Chaucer and her great affection for Virginia Woolf. She often quoted lines of poetry; she never mentioned the war, except to say, Jimmy, take care of yourself. The letters weighed 10 ounces. They were signed Love, Martha, but Lieutenant Cross understood that Love was only a way of signing and did not mean what he sometimes pretended it meant. At dusk, he would carefully return the letters to his rucksack. Slowly, a bit distracted, he would get up and move among his men, checking the perimeter, then at full dark he would return to his hole and watch the night and wonder if Martha was a virgin.

  • At Last”—Etta James (1961) Added to the National Registry: 2008 Essay by Cary O’Dell
    “At Last”—Etta James (1961) Added to the National Registry: 2008 Essay by Cary O’Dell Etta James Original label Original LP Etta James’s legendary 1961 recording of “At Last” was one of her first releases for the Chess/Argo recording label after beginning her career with the Modern label. The change in companies also marked a change in James’s career. She recounted in her 1995 autobiography, “Rage to Survive”: I was no longer a teenager. I was twenty-two and sophisticated. Or at least I wanted to be sophisticated. So when Harvey [Fuqua, formerly of the Moonglows, and then James’s boyfriend] got out his “Book of One Hundred Standards” and began playing through old songs, I got excited. I saw in that music the mysterious life that my mother had led when I was a little girl, the life I secretly dreamed of living myself. I wanted to escape into a world of glamour and grace and easy sin. “At Last” was the first one to hit big…. Because of the way I phrased it, some people started calling me a jazz singer. And it was a change. Before her switch to Chess, James (born Jamesetta Hawkins in 1938) had primarily scored as a recording artist with what she would later call “quickie teenage rockin’, humping and bumping ditties.” Indeed, her oeuvre up to that time had been marked with such titles as “Dance With Me, Henry” (her breakthrough), “All I Could Do Was Cry,” and “My Dearest Darling.” And though “At Last” (from James’s album of the same name) was also about an endearing love, James’s soulful approach certainly bespoke of a more mature singer fully coming into her own.

  • THE VAULT an Anthology of Student Writing
    THE VAULT an Anthology of Student Writing The Writing Program at SUNY Sullivan The Vault—2014—Volume 6 The Vault an Anthology of Student Writing Presented by the Writing Program of SUNY Sullivan Volume 6 • Fall 2014 Vault • Volume 6 • Fall 2014 1 Preface The Vault Overview: The Writing Program publishes an anthology of student writing each academic year. The anthology—called The Vault —showcases exceptional writing created in our courses, offers models for current students, and creates a potential teaching tool for instructors. The writings come from a combination of Writing Program courses (Basic English, Composition I, Composition II) and Creative Writing courses (Creative Writing, Creative Nonfiction), and on occasion we receive exceptional essays from other classes. The Editorial Committee selects the pieces for publication. Procedures: Instructors choose worthy essays, poems, or stories from their classes and, with the permission of the student, submit them for consideration to the Editorial Committee. Instructors must note that offering or refusing to offer submissions will not affect a student’s grade in a course. To submit student work for possible publication in The Vault , students and instructors should follow these steps: • Instructors should select exceptional pieces of writing and ask students to revise, if necessary, prior to submission • Students must complete a Permission Form • Students should send an electronic copy of the final draft to the instructor, Lynne Crockett, or Cindy Linden. First drafts also are appreciated. (NOTE: We no longer will scan paper copies; the essays must be submitted electronically.) EDITORS Lynne Crockett Cindy Linden EDITORIAL COMMITTEE Lisa Caloro Lynne Crockett Cindy Linden Lisa Lindquist COMPUTER GRAPHICS/GRAPHIC DESIGN Mark Lawrence Rocky Pinciotti Michael Bloom Graphics and Art Production: The Computer Graphics/Graphic Design program participated in an inter-department effort to enhance The Vault by establishing a new, unique look for the publication.

When I started the sixth grade, that meant having multiple teachers, and I was scared. Scared because of “Big Red.” Big Red was the eighth-grade teacher who taught math. She was also the one who you could hear from the hallways yelling at the top of her lungs when a student was acting up. The students all had their rumors about her and how strict she was. Things that seemed no big deal to a student meant a lot to her. When you went to Big Red’s math class, your shirt was tucked in, your skirt was below your knees, and you sat up straight at your desk. I headed through the doorway into her classroom, and it was like we were heading to church. Going through that doorway meant to be quiet, find a seat, and start reviewing the previous night’s homework.
