I’ma get new watches, new clothes, new glasses. Man, what are we waiting for?” He shot up out of his chair, in a similar fashion to the action his career should take in the near future. “William, the man said 2:30.

William peeked outside the window, “It’s here!” The Funky Fruit exited the recording studio and made their way to the cab. “Hello, sir. 2648 West Grand Boulevard is the destination.”
Mo stated to the group, “I’m telling you all, if they try to sell us short, I’m not going to let us sign with

    The crisp breeze rustled my hair as I walked out of my house on the fall September day with my dad drilling instructions into my head.

The car ride from my house was only a few minutes away from the fields where I would begin my baseball career.…

    The esteemed Audrey Hepburn once said, “There is a moral obligation that those who have should give to those who don’t.” This quote is a perfect match for the novella “Of Mice and Men” by John Steinbeck. “Of Mice and Men”is a story of two workers traveling together and their adventures in looking for work. While they may live together, their friendship is not one of a classic nature. Steinbeck clearly shows that the only reason that George and Lennie would travel together is because of moral obligation, because Lennie is challenged, they travel together.…

    My most valuable possession was my house. It wasn’t anything fancy or exquisite, but it was there that I had spent the precious moments, however few, with my beloved dad.

I will never forget the uncanny gargoyles that were suspended onto the wall behind, the very same monsters who would assault my sleep and curse me with countless numbers of sleepless nights.…
