In my Opinion, the Declaratory Act was one of the acts that was passed by Parliament because they didn't get their way with The Stamp Act. The colonist were basically slapped in their faces while still cheering themselves on for The Stamp Act being repealed.

The Stamp Act was passed in 1765 securing taxes be paid for all written documents. The taxes…

the crazy fans sitting in front of you, or the actual players themselves are just a few of the many sights of this attraction. The fireworks go off again as two Braves players round the bases coming into home scoring two more points. The crowd is cheering and waving their tomahawks as the chant for the Braves begins again. No wonder this sport is an American pastime. Everyone needs to experience a baseball game like this at least once in their…

“Set!” I hold my breath. Boom! Exploding from my block and gaining speed with every stride, I feel more and more air brush against my face. All the anxiety from crouching back in the blocks is released at once. I focus on my steps. If I can’t approach first hurdle in eight steps, I will stumble and lose momentum. After four or five steps of acceleration, I stand up tall to prepare for the jump. My strides shorten as I approach my eighth step. Last short stride! Now right knee up. Lean…

Its noon in Chicago, the game doesn’t start until 4 o’clock, but I can already smell the hot dogs. I make my way down the gum covered concrete stairs to the Red Line subway station. I purchase my ticket at the automated kiosk and proceed to rails to wait for the next train. Like every game day in Chicago, the subway tunnels are filled with business men, tourists, the crazy fanatics, and some very talented musicians preforming trying to make money for some dinner later. Their music echoes…

Lion Dance I wasn’t strong enough to hold my opportunities as if they were chains being pulled away. The feeling of having to grasp those opportunities and bring them to life seem to be difficult. It made me have predicaments over and over again of how I can turn back time to get what I wanted. I grew up in a family of five, being the oldest out of the three, and was beginning my junior year of high school. It wasn’t until lion dance that changed my life. Courage,…

One defender, two defenders, three defenders! “Crack, Crunch, Thump!” they all hit me, but my legs kept churning. Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, the yards kept building up, four, three, two, one. “Crack!” We stopped for a water break our practice was getting intense. The water was refreshing, cold as a mountain stream. Tyler walked over. I was sweating like crazy. “Good Tackle.” I told him. “Thanks.” he replied. We walked back over to the coach who happened to be my dad. “We’re…
