Simon snapped shut his locker and slung his gym bag over his shoulder. The walk to the library was short but he wished there was some other place he could go.

Salman Khan once said, “A lion runs the fastest when he is hungry.” This quote vividly depicts how the heaviest of burdens, such as slavery and segregation, have brought forth valiant black Canadian leaders who’ve helped define our country’s diverse heritage and identity. Despite their great achievements, we fail to recognize certain dynamic Afro-Caribbean Canadians. We sometimes fail to appreciate torchbearers such as Josiah Henson, Rosemary Brown and Abel Tesfaye.…
In Merle Temple’s (2018), A Ghostly Shade of Pale, the book tells the story of Temple’s career as an undercover Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics agent during the 1970s at the height of the war on drugs. Although the names and some of the places have been changed to protect the identities of former agents and criminals, this book has a lot of strengths and weaknesses. Some of the most notable strengths are the settings or locations, because it is based in Mississippi, which for Mississippi natives, grabs their attention and allows them to relate more to the book. Another strength lies in Temple’s ability to use very vivid imagery in descriptions of places.…

When his mother, Sarah, told me that I was going to be an aunt I didn’t think much would change about my family. It was June and I was almost 13 at the time and was standing in the kitchen when my brother and sister-in-law gave me a bag. Inside the bag was a mug that said Aunt Brylie on one side of it. Being 12, it took me a minute to figure out what exactly that meant.…

It was a foggy Sunday morning, here in this beautiful state of West Virginia. The grass was still wet from the dew and the neighborhood was still quiet. I got up early and went outside to get the paper. Then I went back inside, and read the paper for about an hour. After I read the paper, I turned on the news to see the current events.…
If a politician's autobiography is a depiction of his / hers the foreseeing mind and extraordinary political life, if an abolitionist's autobiography is a personal recountal of their generosity and fraternity in addition to his / hers advanced thinking, then my personal narrative essay would be words and phrases that tells what kind of person I am, no matter this thing would make me embarrassed or not. There are two major phases of my life after I have consciousness and basic cognition to the world. The first phase is called "the era of ignorance and blindness". Like most children, I neither have the intelligence to solve problems quickly and precisely without assistance, nor being patient enough to acquire the ways to be erudite.…
Maria Paula Diaz Campo Prof. Yasbel Acuna-Borrero ENC 1101 – Writing and Rhetoric Tuesday, October 26th, 2017 Ikea really is simple It is well known that Ikea is on the way to global domination, facts such as that one in every fourteen people in the world visit their stores every year, one out of every ten Europeans are conceived on one of their beds, every year more copies of their catalogues are printed than of the Bible, and that they are the world’s third-largest consumer of wood, are all amazing, but what’s most interesting is the way in which they achieve these results, the marketing strategy behind their success. (MacGauley) The concept of Ikea lies in the idea of making simple, easy to assemble and affordable furniture, with design,…
Today is going to be just like any other day, I sketched in my morning journal. The morning Baltimore sun shone past the skyscrapers of downtown, and light protruded through the silk blinds that covered half of the picture window in my room. I rose up from my queen bed. The sheets had become untucked and the comforter lay halfway off the edge. My back rested against the mahogany headboard with my head fitting perfectly between two of the wooden posts.…
All things considered, today was, to abridge, tiring. What's more, miserable. I stay here, writing in this diary at the foot of Jem's bed, viewing over him as he dozes, his rest gradually helping his arm to recuperate, now that Dr. Reynolds has gauzed it. Thinking back judiciously and sensibly, I feel no lament for my activities - in helping Tom Robinson, or in the way I've brought up my youngsters - I just feel an unfolding compassion and disillusionment for the man who had, looking in context, began this entire emergency.…
In America, there are many definitions to what being an American means. Americans are stereotyped as “pigs” or “imbecile” by others in foreign countries, but actually Americans are innovative/creative and are entrepreneurs as related by the iconic image of Iwo Jima (which shows the movement from teamwork and pushing towards a common goal). They’re innovative because of companies like Microsoft and Ford, who paved the way for new technologies and they’re entrepreneurs, because of personages such as Donald Trump and Bill Gates, who are examples of how hard work pays off in America. America is a hard-working “Land of Opportunity” which leads to innovation and progression in technology. Being innovative means to create something new or bring a…
