internship was interning at the Girl Scout Shop of Nassau County in Hicksville at 325 Duffy Ave. I enjoyed helping parents get what materials they need to start Girl Scouts and find the patches required to complete their uniform.

Girls come in for a uniform, we size it for the girls and tell the parents what they need to put on the uniform patches they need to start girl scouts and the American Flag,…

Gone Fishing & Captain America In the short stories “Gone Fishin’” by Michael Paterneti and “Captain America” by Tom Verducci both protagonist Jim “Catfish” Hunter and Derek Jeter are spoken about in a manner that allows you to paint a vivid picture of these characters in your head. In the story Gone Fishin, Mr. Paterneti’s use of vocabulary allows me take myself too Hertsford, North Carolina. For example, as Cat Fish’s brothers left the house, it said that “they drove off in pickups, beneath…

The moment Aunt Alexandra arrives in the Finch household, she begins to mould Scout into her societal role as a woman. Alexandra thrusts these ideals upon Scout, immediately. "We decided that it would be best for you to have some feminine influence. It won't be many years, Jean Louise, before you become interested in clothes and boys—."(Lee, 127) Aunt…

first time a war significantly affected everyone living in America, not just the ones fighting overseas. As soon as Japan attacked Pearl Harbor the lives of American drastically changed. Due to producing and shipping materials for the war effort, little was left at home for the citizens. Several everyday items were rationed including clothing, gasoline, and food.

Johnny happened to be a member of the scout troop as well. Our interactional contact was…
