They were fiery gold and red lilies and dusky roses, which the man waved under the nose of all the nearest ladies with a charming grin. “Lilies for a Lily?” he called in a strange accent, and no one spoke up. “Not a single Lily? A Rose, perhaps?” he asked forlornly. His voice was smooth and intoxicating. “What about...” he stuffed the flowers back into the hat, then pulled out a dove, which hooted and ruffled its feathers. “A…

Even though when you learn new accent of your language, you could new taste of life such as new customs. Dorfman states that “we can’t avoid the need to live in two languages.” When people migrate to a new country, they should speak the official language because of that all the daily…

This is because I was born in El Salvador and she was only raised in a house hold influenced by Salvadorian parents. Therefore, our answer to this question are very different. I'm not proud of having an accent, while she is not proud of not having one. She is very religious yet I'm an atheist.

camo, give him or her a funny gag gift, by presenting a roll of toilet paper to the gift recipient. Even the bride and groom can get in on the act with some cool camo stuff for their wedding. Some brides are so into this pattern that they have camo accents sewn into their wedding gown. If that's too much for you, go with something smaller, such as a camo garter belt, or ribbon to decorate favors, or floral bouquets. For the groom, a camo wedding ring is fashionable and unique.…

The thick husky accent came in the form of my grim and garbled Southern co-worker, Igor “Gumshoe” Karma, questioning the witness of the crime (the code eleven). Without delay, I concentrate my ability to perceive sound in just one ear, so I can pay attention to the fascinating conversation between the private detective and the peculiar witness. A wolf in sheep’s clothing is who Igor Karma is. Hence, hidden beneath the baggy khaki trench coat, is his slender figure. The tie hiding in the trench…

Midday sunlight poured past the pine trees and warmed the bar stools through the windows, however, that was no excuse for the oscillating fan to be parked beside me on a late February day. I…

For most of my years in school I have been on the honor roll, I was a “strong” and hardworking student. For some reason I would pass most of my test without studying, I was an extremely well guesser. For a long time I didn’t understand most of the material in school, I just got by and somehow got good grades. It was because of one thing, the teachers didn’t care about the work we did. I went to minority schools where getting an A wasn’t a big deal, where studying was laughed at and speaking…
