The Themes of Where the Red Fern Grows Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls pulls on heartstrings while giving the thrilling feeling of adventure. Needless to say, it is an amazing book. The plot consists of a boy named Billy who grew up poor and saved for two years to buy a pair of coonhounds. After finally getting his hounds he hunts constantly and his dogs become so skilled and so close to him that they win a hunting contest. After a brutal fight with a mountain lion, both dogs are…

The Light That Went Out Jesse Caldwell Dear Mikey, It's been three weeks since your funeral, and I still can't believe you're gone. Dr. Hartman thinks that if I write this letter to you, that it will help with the grieving process. I've been going to go see her since your funeral. Mom and Dad have insisted. Quite honestly I think that this is a big waste of time. You're dead and there is no bringing you back, you're never going to read the words that I've written. You're never going to…
I knew it would be a mission for me to get to the top of the cornucopia with my leg injury where Cato had cut me with the knife, but I knew I had to keep trying or the girl that I loved would have to face Cato alone. I saw Katniss shooting some of the hybrid animals that were closing in on me with her bow and arrows but there were still too many of them and she couldn’t have had enough arrows to kill them all. I continued and finally reached the tail of the cornucopia and started to climb up…
Wake up everybody by teddy Pendergrass is an inspiring art to me because of what the songs message is. This song is morally true because it illustrates how it takes more than one person to change and make the world a better place. With Hatred, poverty and war so easily seen in the world the approach on how we lived in the past and present needs to change in order to see progress. Although there’s a lot of people who play a big role in the betterment of the world and many organizations who…
Is six hours enough for a workday? I do not believe six hours is enough for a standard work day. Think about it, most people can not even survive on their hours now. Shortening hours will lead to loss of wages, ineligible for health insurance and maternity leave. We are not one of the 188 states that mandate paid maternity leave. In the end no I do not believe six hours is enough to sustain a middle class living. The economy is not in the right place right now to be shortening work hours.…
March break is that one time a year we get a random extra week off of school, in the middle of the month and because of this we shouldn’t take it for granted. We should take it to the fullest, go on hikes, visit new places or even go to a cottage or something. Something that can take our minds off of work, waking up early, and more work. It’s basically like a sick day, times a week but what's even better is that you’re not sick! March Break, who isn’t ready? Well if you’re not, don’t worry, I…
Michael J. Fox said it best: “Family is not an important thing. It 's everything.” Family time isn’t something to take for granted and it is definitely worth a fight. The early opening of stores for Black Friday deals on Thanksgiving day is a problem because it’s destroying the meaning of Thanksgiving by; taking employees and shoppers away from family and the holiday meals. Many workers can’t celebrate Thanksgiving the way it was intended to be. Black Friday isn’t just becoming a nationwide…
expunged of every last piece of holiday decorations. Soon the fake evergreen was up, its green plastic eves slung with twinkling white lights, glistening red ornaments, and a patchwork of other mismatching baubles and family trinkets. The Christmas season was here. However, this Christmas was to be a Christmas unlike any other, not for any gift I received, but for the gift I gave. For several years prior to this, dating all the way back to the ancient year of 2012, I had been…
