Corvette

two men in the court room did not make those marks and she went on to say "now, in the '60's, there were only two other cars made in America that had positraction, and independent rear suspension, and enough power to make these marks. One was the Corvette, which could never be confused with the Buick Skylark. The other had the same body length, height, width, weight, wheel base, and wheel track as the '64 Skylark, and that was the 1963 Pontiac Tempest"("My Cousin Vinny") Also, since both of…

At Cape Catastrophe the expedition suffered the loss of the ship's boat and its eight sailors, including Flinders' close associate, John Thistle.

After reprovisioning at Timor, an increasing number of crew developed dysentry, and with a mounting death toll and a heavy heart, Flinders was forced…

The Heroine and the Heist It seems like time is ticking in slow motion. Alarms are ringing in my ear. Tiffany and Co is going into lockdown. “We need to take the dosh and run!” screams my partner in crime, Rob, from behind the front counter. I turn to see my reflection in one of many glass cases. The world stops as I realise the criminal who I have become. There’s no going back to my previous life. “Now!” screams Rob. I swing my crowbar into the glass. SMASH! Glass shatters into a million…

she hates fishing and while they are sitting the canoe one catches on the line, the biggest one yet, for the boy. He cuts it fast, so Sheila won’t see, after it pulls the canoe backwards. At the concert Sheila says she is going home Eric Casswell's corvette. “There would be other Sheila Mants in my life, other fish, and though I came close once or twice, it was these secret hidden, tuggings in the night that claimed me, and I never made the same mistake again.”(5) This quote shows how the boy…

In everyone’s life, there comes a time where you have to a make a choice and the decision you make could haunt you for the rest of your life. In, “The Bass, The River, and Sheila Mant”, by W.D.

Even though he doesn’t really understand how we Socs have problems too, I can see that he at least sort of understands- not completely, but just a little… Knowing that he sort of understands is a mixed feeling of relief and just a bit of an absurd feeling as well, I mean, a Soc and a greaser actually having a nice…

Presidents can do little stuff to prevent these unfair prices, but maybe it doesn't benefit the economy. With gas prices at this level, people don't take the most out of their paycheck. People would like to have their dream car such as a Mustang or Corvette or even a Diesel truck, but with these unfair gas prices, you can go broke. In my opinion, oil companies are selling the gas at higher prices because soon oil will not be a present no more in Earth and these companies need to make the most…

form lines all the way down to the clinic. In front of the hospital is a broad ballet circle. In the middle of the circle is an enormous glass fountain surrounded by millions of pebbles.
