The state flower of Nevada is the Big Sagebrush which grows in the desert and rangelands of Nevada. Native Americans used to use Sagebrush for…
The race for the presidency in the year 2000 was very controversial. Now after watching the movie Recount it is obvious that George W. Bush illegitimately won the election. Firstly, older voters were confused on how to fill out the ballot, which ended up in a significant amount of dimpled chad that were not counted by the machines, therefore robbing thousands of people of their right to vote for the president they wished to be in office, not to mention that it may have costed Gore the presidency…

The face of Nicholas Easter was slightly hidden by a display rack filled with slim cordless phones, and he was looking not directly at the hidden camera but somewhere off to the left, perhaps at a customer, or perhaps at a counter where a group of kids hovered over the latest electronic games from Asia. Though taken from a distance of forty yards by a man dodging rather heavy mall foot traffic, the photo was clear and revealed a nice face, clean-shaven with strong features and boyish good looks.…
demanding job, especially when understaffed and around the holidays. My mom would pick my brother and me up from daycare at 5, and would have dinner on the table by 6:00, and we would be in bed by 8:00. My mom never stopped running around, she made single parenting look…
The story begins like so many others. A boy meets a girl. Friendship sprouts. Time goes by. They become best friends, the kind of friendship that seems hard to come by now. I still sometimes wonder how she came to know me so well. It was so natural. Everything just seemed to fall into place with her. First and foremost, she was my best friend. We told each other everything. She opened up about her past. I almost couldn 't believe what she told me. No one had ever been that open with me. We…
Luna was jolted awake by a loud noise. She got out of her bed curious what the noise could be, hoping it was just a guard, and that no one was hurt or need help. She went to the door, carefully opening it. In front of her was a mailmare. Luna stared trying to process what she saw before her. She never got mail. Why was there a mail mare here. When she realized she was staring, she shook herself out of her stupor and relaxed. “I have a letter for you,” the mare said. “Thank you.” She…
Jade 's POV "Shut the hell up you stupid bitch! I told you not to talk!" Derek, my step-father, screamed into my face. I could smell the alcohol on his breath. "I-I 'm s-sorry" I stuttered backing away from him. SLAP! I was on the ground in a second, I looked up at him with tears in my eyes. "Go get me a beer" he said and went and turned on the TV. I walk to the fridge and grabbed his beer and went and gave it to him. "Now get out of my sight, I don 't want to have to look at your ugly face…
It's been a couple of hours, and I was still in the living room watching SpongeBob, but I wasn't really paying much attention. I was rethinking my decision on trusting Vanoss. I mean sure! He seems like a nice guy, but I learned that things aren't always what they seemed. I sighed, and got up from the couch to turn off the television, wondering if my friends are having the same problems. I sat back down on the couch, listening to the silence of the quiet living room. My mind begin to wonder how…
