didn't know which tunnel they'd come out of” (Updike). Imagery is used when describing the girl’s bathing suits: “She had on a kind of dirty-pink… bathing suit with a little nubble all over it” (Updike). Metaphor is used in the line: “Shook open a paper bag as gently as peeling a peach” (Updike). These language devices relate to the central idea because it helps the author give us an example of the consequences that came out of an impulsive…

morning energized and ready for the day. My stomach is growling and I know that means that I am craving food. So I do what I normally do. I take a nice warm shower to help wake myself up. I go into the kitchen to discover that my mom left me an entire box of donuts for breakfast. I immediately start to eat the donuts one by one but I soon become full so I put the rest of them in the fridge for the next morning. After I`m done eating I remember that my favorite soccer team is playing so I go find…

Before reading Stiff, I’d never really thought about body donation. Though the book was centered on body donations that were uncomfortable to read about, the author was very upbeat about the whole topic. While the author’s style of writing was one I didn’t particularly like, her opinions and point of view on body donation were something I could really relate to. Body donation can be a very sensitive topic, but personally it’s a very obvious decision: I would rather help people after death than…

and blankets for building forts to encourage imaginative play. Homemade puppets can be made out of paper bags decorated with buttons, yarn, and thread to hold a conversation with peers, with child care providers or themselves. Child care providers should create an alone spot for toddlers to hide when they want to. These alone spots can be created with simple materials, such as a large cardboard box or a canopy with pillows on the floor. The alone spot should not be confused as a time-out spot.…

come in handy to pay off the last 2 cents on your grocery bill or to donate the bare minimum to the charity box at your local McDonald's, but other than that their existence creates an inconvenience for everyone. In source A, Kahn quotes his friend Gore. He states, “The point of currency is to facilitate transactions... people are fishing through their pockets, the cashier has to open a new bag of pennies. For me, it's the waste of time I object to.” Gore makes an excellent point in determining…

over to an open spot by the wall to sit down. I heard snickers, I just wanted to be alone. After we were finally dismissed from the gym, I{ walk to my locker and start unloading my heavy bag. When I almost have everything in my locker, everything in my hand falls to the ground. I hear a crack as my brand new pencil box shatters. I pick up everything that fell and jam it in my lock, I pocket a pencil and move on to my first period…

was when Scarlett is abandoned by all her friends and is made the center of ridicule. As an audience, I watched downstage and saw her struggle and a sense of loss, and that was when I uncovered my own experience which I have long stored in a treasure box and never has never touched after I have found a stable group of friends long ago. When I was in China, I was adorned by my peers and always dominated the role of a warrior (because I liked to fight when I was little) in my class. As a result…

in handy for this, as the locks on the boxes were not even close to as elaborate as the main vault in the bank. First, Al would walk into the bank and ask to open his safety deposit box. Then, when he was in the room with all of them, he would ask for some privacy. When the bank workers go away he would go into his bag and take out some plaster. Al would then throw the plaster onto the security cameras, so the bank workers who monitor the security cameras cannot record his face, or see what he…

I remember each of them as if they were yesterday, the polar plunge Jack, Flynn, and I did barely a week after I made the list. Being the first week of March in the Midwest we froze our assess off. I immediately regretted showing Jack my list at that point. He saw polar plunge and immediately signed us up for the senior plunge. I swear, who ever thought jumping into a lake in freezing temperatures was absolutely positively insane, and the fact that we have kept this tradition for so many years…

America Is home to many social movements. Many social movements that cover over a multitude of concerns over a multitude of areas with a multitude different environments. When I say environments I am referring to the political environment that the social movements are attempting to take root in. This could have to do with what the country as a whole is dealing with- such as war or any other major issues- what their larger community could be dealing with and if the people of the community…
