We walked towards our destination with excitement in our. We were surrounded by trees and other park visitors. I heard the sounds of the other visitors, laughing after having been on a rollercoaster, screaming of the ones going down a rollercoaster. I could smell the sweet candy and the salty french fries beckoning me to spend my money. I can feel the water drops of the impending rain storm hit my head. We got to our destination and put our supplies in a locker for safekeeping. Putting my phone in the locker was hard, but I didn’t need a phone for where I was going. We walked a little farther, my mom wore a Universal Studios official trench coat. It was made out of blue plastic, which she hated but was willing to wear because she hates being …show more content…
Then the boat turned a corner, and that 's when I saw the first dinosaur. It had an orange like color and a neck as tall as a basketball player. It lowered its head towards the boat looking at us. It made a loud moaning sound, it sounded like a bear gargling water. The boat floated past the dinosaur, I looked back watching the giant fade into the trees. Ahead there were tiny dinosaurs alongside the river. They were not much bigger than my shoe. We then went through a dark cave, which shielded us from the rain for a while. I turned to look at my brother hoping to see a big smile on his face to reflect mine, but instead I saw a look of amazement and wonder. I started to feel rain drops again as we exited the cave. The rain hit the water making loud tapping sound, like when you drop uncooked rice on the kitchen floor. I then feel a jet of water hit my shoulder, like I was it by a powerful water gun. I turned to see another dinosaur shooting water at the boat. Its head and neck stuck out of the water, it also had a large crest on his head that looked like the moon half full. As we passed the water spitting dinosaur I heard in the distance a less friendly sound. I heard a faint snarling and screeching like a bird mixed with a snake. I could hear the screams of another boat full of people. I felt a large, wonderful grin come over my face, I knew what was coming next, because its my favorite part of the ride. The Velociraptors, my favorite dinosaur of all time. As we enter the area I could hear the low breathing of the raptors and see the yellow eye from inside the trees, the branches moved as though something darted through them, the leaves rustled. Then a large cage/crate hung above us with a raptor

    Stormy Weather: The New Hampshire Primary and Presidential Politics by Dante J. Scala is written with the intent to deliberately educate about the New Hampshire Primary. From its birth, with through many examples at various primaries, Stormy Weather does just that without skipping a single beat. Mr. Scala utilizes a concept from Analyst Rhodes Cook that breaks up the nomination process into five stages, but adopts it as his own by applying it almost exclusively to the New Hampshire Primary. The first stage, for example, is the “Exhibition Stage,” also known as the invisible primary due to the fact that there is nothing in place to indicate how well a candidate is performing during this timeframe.…

    As a child, my parents shaped me into their ideal image of a little girl. The formation of their ideals actually started long before I first opened my eyes in the hospital.

They had their first date at the Magic Kingdom, they spent all their days off on a Florida beach, and they experienced the technical magic that Disney is so well-known for.…

    The day seemed to drag on and on, as I waited, counting down the days to California. It was a humid, sunny afternoon down at the Alton pool, where I usually spend most of my summer days working as a lifeguard. Today was very different than most…. And maybe the reason why was because it was my last day of work before I flew off to the big L.A. Most days at the pool the time went by slower than any I have ever known, with the scorching hot sun burning my skin, and little kids yelling at their friends telling each other secrets or what they want to play next.…

    A hurricane, by definition, is a tropical cyclone with strong winds spiraling inward and upward and speeds ranging from 75 mph to 200 mph. Hurricanes emerge from the Atlantic basin, which consists of the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico, the northeastern Pacific Ocean, and, less often, the central north Pacific Ocean. Most hurricanes follow a similar cycle of development. Some may run their course in as little as a day or as long as a month. They weaken and are transformed into extratropical cyclones after prolonged contact with the colder ocean waters of the middle latitudes, and they rapidly decay after moving over land areas.…
