How I Spent My Summer Vacation Essay

Indira Gandhi. She was one of the most politically powerful women in the world, and definitely the most powerful in India's history. But she ruled in a country where women lived in poverty, were neglected, and heavily discriminated against. How is that Indira Gandhi was India's prime minister for four terms while most other women in India were unaware they had basic rights? And why is that Indira Gandhi didn't do more to help these women? Indira Gandhi had a troubled childhood, which…

Surprisingly, the biggest adjustment I had to go through during this journey was returning home to America. I just had the best experience of my life in Italy with not only discovering myself but also with discovering a new culture, and when I got back I was able to tell everyone my story. Once. People were willing to hear about my study abroad once or twice but after that they either got bored or didn’t care anymore. I felt as if Italy was a new part of me but when I got back I wasn’t allowed…

In 2004, my country, Iraq, was in war with America. During this war the American soldiers dominated the capital of Iraq, Baghdad. They occupied the place, but the Iraqi people withstood the American soldiers. Iraq converted from a nice, beautiful and safe place to live in to enormously dangerous place because of the war. The American soldiers roamed in the streets. They started killing and taking anyone that was walking on the streets for no particular reason. I perceived a lot of gang violence…

backpack and his bag of break-in tools, and threaded through the forest, rock to root to rock, every step memorized. Not a boot print left behind. It was cold and nearly moonless, a fine night for a raid, so he hiked about an hour to the Pine Tree summer camp, a few dozen cabins spread along the shoreline of North Pond in central Maine. With an expert twist of a screwdriver, he popped open a door of the dining hall and slipped inside, scanning the pantry shelves with his penlight. Candy! Always…

me wrong after being despised and abused by my father I’ll finally be able to prove him wrong. Since I was little, my step dad, never treated me like his step daughter. He treated me like A maid, he didn’t buy me toys or took me out to the movies. Instead he always got mad at me, for small things. But that doesn’t matter anymore. All my mistakes that I’ve made in the past, don’t matter anymore. As I was grabbing my diploma it made me feel better about my life. All those cold nights shivering in…

At Long Last Love The reason I gave this article this particular title was because even though Elvira Grunte met and saw Latvian poet and writer Eriks Raisters several times in Riga, Latvia they never dated. There was only a six year different in their ages but because Eriks was older and already finished with university to him Elvira seemed to be too young for him. In fact when they first met Elvira was just finishing high school. Another thing was that Eriks was fast becoming a well-known…

Fitzgerald, a considerably poorer man than Tom Buchanan, Daisy’s husband. Partying and drinking is a prevalent theme in “The Great Gatsby.” Trough Nicks observations, the party is described as “There was music from my neighbor’s house through the summer nights… girls came and went… I watched his guests diving from the tower of his raft…” (Fitzgerald 39). Gatsby did not just have small parties with minimal guests. He would throw a party and it seems like the entire Long Island Sound attended the…

personal level, Don’s is through the images he creates, the advertising campaigns he manufactures to entice the consumer. In both the historical context, and the context of the circumstances surrounding both Death of a Salesman and Mad Men, we see how, in both forms of salesmanship, the harsh faultlines of the extreme commercialization of the American Dream become apparent. The pursuit of “selling” almost becomes a cultural necessity, in order to achieve both one’s individual professional…

car dealership that was working on my automobile attempted to get me a rental car immediately, but apparently there had been a rental car shortage in Colorado Springs in recent weeks and a car would not be available until about 2:00 p.m. that afternoon.

I headed back towards the…
