No way would I die in North Carolina because of a little spider. Soon, people started to come out of the house to greet us. They trickled slowly toward us. First, Parker’s father introduced himself to me and greeted the rest of the group with hugs and laughter. Aunt Jill came next. Her appearance reminded me of Ellie Sattler in Jurassic Park. She first greeted CC and then turned to me. “Hello, Anna. I’m Aunt Jill. I’m Parker’s dad’s sister.” Immediately, I noticed…

consent was given, but to come to that conclusion multiple aspects of society and the party must be analyzed. First, in the Dangerous Parties article it states that Jon, one of the boys accused of sexual assault, asked Sara for a hug and a kiss. Sara gave Jon both a hug and a kiss, which would be considered consent. Consent defined by Dictionary.com is “to permit, approve, or agree; comply or…

It was Saturday lunchtime. The hot summer sun beat down on the faces of the families in the stands during the last Little League game of the season. Moms, finding comfort in the familiar faces of friends forged through three months of uncomfortable green bleachers, bee stings and sunburns, chatted casually about the back-to-school sales for the upcoming year. A handful of men, still intently focused on the games, paced by the backstop, shouting advice to their progeny, perhaps envisioning a…

For the Coach group and Supporter group, a 3-second mean hug duration is plausible since this value falls within the 95% confidence interval. Since it falls between the two limits, there is a 95% chance of the length hug occurring in each relationship group.

Everyone is saying bye to each other. Everyone is giving each other's hugs, kisses, and tears racing down our cheeks. I see that uncle. I say nothing to him. Just gave him a look. A very disgusting look. We get to the airport. Hop on the plane and off we go. It's ten o’clock at night. I brought with me the most memorable…

or Amplified Musculoskeletal Pain Syndrome (AMPS). Hugs hurt when they really shouldn’t. The lightest touch on my back would cause a painful burning sensation, which meant that no one, including my mom and sister, could hug me.

But there are worse things than no hugs,as there are various forms of AMPS. For some…

through the air. She came up to me and said, “Dylan I brought you a Christmas gift.” When I opened it I saw that it was a crisp twenty dollar bill. I was so happy. My mom then said to me, “Dylan now go give Nana a hug for what she gave you.” I gave her the biggest hug I had ever given. The hug lasted such a long time, my mom had to split us up Until now, I almost always went to Nana’s house. She has taught me so many important things that I will use in life. One of the things she has taught me…

The hug becomes more heartfelt every time, until it ‘runs’ away and Lucy discovers the challenge of getting it back. To listen to the synopsis this doesn’t sound like such a thought provoking or complex picturebook... until you give to to the child and adolescent reader to appreciate and understand their notion, mood and perception.
