Behind these two beautiful Geese lies a besieged castle. It was controlled by an Oligarchy but was conquered by some outlaws after they comprised a plan to overthrow them because of their fanaticism. Their denunciation of the oligarchy was quite rash. The outlaw’s effects on the Castle were inimical and they defeated the defenses using their preponderance. The defense of the castle was very chivalrous. Now the Castle lies forlorn.

As he motel entrance, he noticed that his equilibrium* was a bit off after the incident. But he was still able to be a bit chivalrous* as he held the door for a woman exiting the building. He didn't want to perpetuate the pain any longer. Feeling abit forlorn*, although not sure why, he downed an Advil and crawled into bed. There was no circumstantial* evidence to prove him innocent. He pulled out the laptop and cancelled his flight reservation with American Eagle, a subsidiary* of American Airlines. There was no use in running now; he had no strength left. He worried about what inimical* effect this may have on his life. He rolled the Matchbox car back and forth along the dresser, hoping the childish pretense* would bring out at least a glimmer of happiness. The fanaticism* of the idea was completley irrational. The recent denunciation* had brought his life crashing down. And now, as he ruminated* the tobacco in his mouth, he closed the crtains and fell asleep for the last time as a free man.

There had some "chivalrous" design and "besieged" bulidings by a lake "comprise" castle. It had been "perpetuate". I think it looked like a "pretense" of "latent" "oligarchy" in old time. Actually it is just a "forlorn" castle that give some vistor come and see the "inveteracy" castle.Also there had two "subsidiary" Geese, to make this place look beautiful.

When I saw that image I remember to a life Winston after he to be catch by polices of Party. Because Mr. Charrington who was pretense* a good person to latent* for follow Winston and Julia. He was denunciation* circumstantial* what Winston did in his house. Winston just realized in the oligarchy* of Party also to comprise* Mr. Charrington after that happen. And actually Mr. Charrington is the inimical* person. Now, too late for Winston forlorn*. Probably, he wills to perpetuate* subsidiary *to the prison of Party polices.

The chain's equilibrium was lost when the link was broken. The force tat besieged the link was to great for it to with-stand. The denuncation one would have about the chain is that years of rust have weakened it. After years of its chivalrous guarding the neighborhood gate it has finally gave way to nature. The rust is circumstancial evidence to its battle against the elements. Over the years the chains collectivism composes of rust and mold. The empirical shape of the chain gives it some resistance to force.
