After being invited by Nick to come to his place for tea to meet up with Gatsby. I felt extremely nervous because I did not know what was to come when I meet him. Gatsby is so well-known and I wouldn’t want to mess anything up. “Don’t bring Tom,” I warned her. “What?” “Don’t bring Tom.” “Who is Tom’?” she asked innocently. I knew exactly who Tom was, but just in case for any reasons necessary I acted confused. The next day, it felt funny, foggy and damp, so I grabbed my raincoat…

In chapter three, they did not sing or tell stories that day, even though the weather improved; nor the next day, nor the day after. One morning they forded the river at a wide shallow place full of noise of stones and foam. The far bank was steep and slippery. When they got to the top of it they saw that the great mountains had marched down near to them. Already they seemed only a day’s easy journey from from the feet of the nearest. “Is that the mountain?” asked Bilbo in a solemn voice,…

“Desperta Laka ,desperta!” mommy says shoving and pushing me to wake up. I can’t breath. I see a orange light roaring through my home town Chala , Smoky air, screaming, and an engine starting up.

"We should call in Lila." Detective Tom Reilly dropped the photo he held in his fingers, and leaned back in his seat to stare at his partner, Jarrod Blair, with those words. "I'm not sure, Jarrod," he replied as his gaze was drawn back to the image of the bruised and battered, naked and defiled woman that had landed face up on his wooden desk in the 96th precinct. The one whose slim, attractive features, age, long brunette hair, and deep brown eyes reminded him of his wife, and the mention…

Hi! My name’s Cliff! I’m a pretty friendly person, if I do say so myself, I promise ☺. I just want to apologize in advance for anything stupid, or pathetic that I put in this diary. I don’t really think this whole diary thing is even a good idea, but my mom thought writing down my feelings would be beneficial for my transition to high school. I doubt it, but I might as well try. Hey, these types of things aren’t cheap and my parents are trying to help. I’m not going to start off with dear diary,…

Song analysis The song “No Makeup” (her voice) by Kendrick Lamar is dedicated to women named Keisha. Throughout Kendrick’s music he implies that Keisha is a prostitute. In this song Kendrick is trying to explain to her that she doesn’t need make up to cover up her flaws or “imperfections”. This song is told by two different perspectives: Kendrick, and Keisha. In “No Makeup” Kendrick uses a lot of assonances, imagery and symbolism to create a deeper understanding to the story he’s really…

Then her mom yells “KRISTINA YOU HAVE SCHOOL GET UP!!!!!!!” Kristina lifts her head up a little bit and in a ghost like whispers says “I know thats why im sleeping” Kristina's…

“So you want to go out or whatever?” Seven months ago I asked that question. Never really thought that asking that question would have changed my life you could say. This speech is about my girlfriend Makayla which most of you may know her. Our comparisons……She has really made an impact on me in the past year actually. From the short talks, long talks, the arguing, the laughing and making fun of each other. Having things in common is very good for relationships. Makayla and I have a lot in…

Death Valley “Look!, an old, abandoned campsite,” I yelled,”I hope it's not just a mirage,” she thought. “I see it!” Jenny gasped. “there might be food there, or maybe someone to rescue us!” we walked over there and saw nothing but some old, gross alligator jerky. Jenny wasn’t so pleased. “if you want to survive, you have to eat it,” I told jenny. “ugh, it’s all sticky” gina said, Jenny gagged, “uhg, it tastes horrible.” “well would you rather…

Aspiration and Ambition Ambition is a factor that has affected many individual’s lives throughout history. Some people say that ambition is healthy for individuals and it causes a drive for improvement, and while this may be true, others will argue that it leads to a sense of self-entitlement from controlling others. The desire for success is a struggle for individuals throughout all stages of life, and it can often go awry when selfish intents begin to take hold and change their moral codes. If…
