He 's telling background about his life in an interesting way, he finds ways to tell the reader specific…

Olivia Ann Tangren, born July 22, 1997, at 12:11 AM at the Mayo Clinic in Owatonna Minnesota. I weighed eight pounds eleven ounces, and was twenty-two inches long. My mom swears I had the largest head in the history of the hospital. At that time gas cost $1.20, and everyone was watching F.R.I.E.N.D.S.

It’s hard to put a definition on something that is so broad. Everywhere we look we see the environment, everything we do involves the environment. The environment is everywhere. From when you first wake up in the morning, you notice the sound of birds chirping and the sun shining. That is a simplest form of the environment. One of…

The cinematographers’ (Peter Menzies Jr.) use of lighting, filters, and choices of lens made all these actors standout. Menzies was able to…

Although that changed when I walked into the Mobile Soup Kitchen on a grimy Monday afternoon with a whole line of people waiting outside the truck. I immediately started to prepare for the…
