Although this is a life or death situation, Darry does more than enough to ensure Pony is okay. Without a doubt, if Darry isn’t as resilient with Ponyboy, he wouldn’t use a bottle to scare away the socs later in the book. As a result, Ponyboy is still an avid student…

A work of fiction that I read for pleasure and found to be very inspiring and influential to me is Summer Ball, by Mike Lupica. This book is the story of a young kid, Danny Walker, who loves basketball more than anything else in the world. Danny had recently led his travel basketball team to the national championship and now is spending his summer at Right Way Basketball camp in Portland, Maine. While there, Danny plays with the best players in the world from his age group, but he is different…

Flex Your Positive Thinking Muscles There have been many quotes written on the topic of positive thinking and even many more books written about this same subject. Yet everyday people fall into the rut of negative thinking. When someone asks if something can be done, what is your first thought? Do you immediately start brain storming of ways to make it happen or do you immediately say, “you can’t do that” or “that is impossible”. Some would argue that their experience tells them it is…

romance series to readers for the plot, style and length guidelines as pertaining to their high value. Their distribution channel was very rare. Readers could purchase Harlequin’s product in bookstores as well as supermarkets or drugstores. Furthermore, avid Harlequin readers got hold of the product delivered to their home every month through Harlequin’s direct mailing service with a low price because of their printing business which was a competitive advantage. Cost per series book were lower…

The most vivid memory I have of reading is when I was in third grade, my teacher use to read books to us at the end of everyday. However, one day she took us to the library and told us to pick out a book to read on our own. The library was set up to where each grade level had their own books so kids were encouraged to pick books that weren't to difficult for them to read. I wanted to prove that i could read a higher level book because I have dyslexia and other kids thought it was funny when I…

complete the writers craft course I would have to be able to write a lot. Which is something I am very good at, I write constantly, whether it’s for school or I am just writing something on my own.

a twenty-four-hour day that it would be nearly impossible to keep up with everything. The more people who sign in, the more people who use/ abuse sites such as these create more pressure on themselves to look cool and have fulfilling lives. I am an avid tweeter; I enjoy media sites such as Twitter and Instagram. I check my social media account similar to the way my father reads the morning paper. I like the way it feels when I wake up to thirty plus likes on my picture I posted the night before…

Moreover, as Grendel trudges through his “pointless” life, he searches for his own individualistic meaning of life. Grendel is an existentialist, meaning that he believes that no true purpose to life exists, but that one must create their own purpose of living. “I would feel, all at once, alone and ugly, almost- as if I'd dirtied myself- obscene.” (Gardner 17) Grendel presumes that the concluding result- not the afterlife conclusion, but rather the legacy- of his life will be a direct reflection…

Cheap sheds in Orrell are a great storage space for all your garden tools, potting soil and compost. If you are an avid gardener and like nothing better than pottering in your vegetable garden on a Saturday afternoon, you will most likely want a safe storage space for all your gardening equipment.
