Literature- I need your help!
 

Dammit, I'm taking a literature class and there is a question that I need help with.

Identify the work from which each passage is taken and its author, and describe the significance of the passage in relation to the work's meaning:

5. Boom Down


Yes, that's it. That's all it says...... And it covers the entire book, unfortunately I did not read every story and cannot find the two word passage. I don't need the meaning...just the story/poem that it is in.

I appreciate your help in advance.

And as usual... Have a beer on me:thumb:

I can't help you with your answer, but I sure like John lee hooker


boom boom boom boom........

Dude,
Unless it's a KC-135 training manual I have no idea. Sorry

I'd have to think it would be Moby Dick or Mutiny On The Bounty if in a literature class but don't know for sure

I guess if we were all geniuses we wouldn't be Chiefs fans.... burn!

Name of story?

search for it in google books, use quotes...

That's what I'm stressing out trying to find!

found it!

Whats up man! hey yo whats up!

From that point on me reach my destination,
When the destination reached, it was the east detention, where them
Whipped down me pants, looked up me bottom, so

Rough me up an I cant do a thing
Pick up my line, when my telephone ring.

Black up my hands.

Slap me in the face an took all o my gap.
They have no clues an they wanna get warmer,
But shan wont turn informer!

Chorus

That's probably one of the greatest pieces of American Literature ever, pr.

Agreed!

I loved that song back in the day... actually, still do. lol

A list of possible books it could be from would help. I found one called Escape from Amsterdam that had that in it several times, but a list of all of the stories you would have had to choose from would help.
