Examples such as, the changing of butterfly wing colors through technology, advertised stamps in the wet sand at public beaches and corporations logos being maintained at local parks. Beginning an article with a rhetoric introduction gives the readers a story to associate with the problem.…

    Randy Scott gazed out of the filthy window near his cluttered worktable on the fourth floor of the Leather Works, watching the clouds pass by, and wondering what a new year would bring. It was March of a new decade, 1860, and he was hopeful for a better life than he had had so far. July 9th would be his fourteenth birthday, and most boys his age were on their own by then. He dreamed of the day when he could get away from the orphanage and away from the Leather Works.…

I made sure to shield them from the falling debris with my wings, and made sure they didn’t fall off as I rose up on my hind legs and began to climb out of the hole. The Hydra troops, who I’ve found have either the worst or best timing, chose to enter that room at that moment. The looks on their faces when they saw a huge blue dragon climbing through the ceiling with their unconscious prisoner in it’s talons and two other teenage girls on it’s back was priceless.…

    Heavy, that’s what you first feel. Your body is so, so heavy, and the air around is tight, like a compressing bulk that refused to let you fill your lungs with the satisfying feeling of breathing in. Tingling in your fingers make you realize that you’re just coming back into your body. “Satisfying feeling?” Hmm, you know, I don’t think I’ll breathe today because I don’t really feel like it.…

    After an accident, it can easy to assume a slight headache is normal and to try to brush it off. Whether you have suffered a head injury after a car crash, knocked your head on a shelf as you fell from a ladder at work, or otherwise bumped your head, a head injury should never be taken lightly. There are several signs that a knock to the head might be something more serious, such as a concussion or a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Anyone who lost consciousness, even for a short time, after being hit in the head should visit a doctor right away.…

I was showing at the American Paint Horse Youth Worlds show in Fort Worth, Texas and was competing with a horse I had just met two days ago. My trainer, Kelly Chapman, traveled to Texas with me and decided to put me in a jumping class. Now, if you know me you would definitely never put me in a jumping class because I have very little experience with it but, Kelly being the stern and enthusiastic trainer I know, had a lot of faith in me to compete well with my new horse Zeke.…
