The sweet yet spicy fragrance gave me a sense of safety and comfort even though I was in a completely different territory. Not long after, I had…

pie from Sam’s Club, and not to mention completely mushy. I can easily say that I missed having home-made pies for Thanksgiving. Then, my grandparents left and I made cinnamon rolls. I made cinnamon rolls because we used to always make cinnamon rolls the day before Thanksgiving. Then, on Thanksgiving morning we would eat cinnamon rolls before we went hiking.

My lungs, that were full of fresh autumn air, are now filled with the cinnamon apple candle my mother is burning. My house is clean, and all I want to do is sit and get cozy in a soft warm blanket on my couch. That is the feeling of happiness to me. The dull day of school had just gotten done with. I am on my way home on the rambunctious bus. The bus ride where all the rowdy children…

Three pieces of evidence that support my claim are controlled groups had the most germination, only one direct group had germination, and no indirect groups had any germination.
