Dum Dum

Ba-dum. Ba-dum. My heart raced as I stood in front of my eighth grade Teen Leadership class to present a simple one-minute speech about myself. I wiped my sweaty palms on my khaki pants and tried to remember the speech that I had practiced in front of the mirror a thousand times. The entire class stared at my trembling hands, and l wanted to curl into a ball and cry. I could feel my whole face turn blazing red and my mind went blank. Twenty seconds in, and I had barely uttered my name. Where was…

At seven years old, little minds still developing, bodies still growing. We understand very little of the real world, there are no worries, no responsibilities. There is very little choice, at this age, feeling relieved that we can choose our own movie before bedtime. Browsing through the movie selection we know the different types of movies, Family, Comedy, Disney and Horror. We skip over anything that looks even a little scary; because you’re still traumatised from the time you snuck behind…

My Michigan hero is my Mom. Why? Well because she gave up her life of being a teenager and partying and doing dum stuff . And started a new life being a mom a wonderful mom she wanted to do something good.Than she told me what happened in her past when she was pregnant with me. Than the things she told me made me think that I knew she was my hero. It all started when my mom got pregnant at 15 years old. And she knew that giving me up for an adoption wasn't an option. And that she has to pay…

Curley’s wife eventually exploded and took out all the anger she felt at her mom on the workers (who specifically if anyone is specifically mentioned)one day. “An’ what am I doin’? Standin’ here talkin’ to a bunch of bindle stiffs-a nigger an’ a dum-dum and a lousy ol’ sheep-an’ likin’ it because they ain’t nobody else”(Steinbeck 78). Curley’s wife was so fed up with being made out to be useless she was no longer looking for friendship, all she wanted was to feel like she is significant. Feeling…

Deaunte's Pov I was walking throw the garden at the back of the main building when *Crack* I turned around to see Josie wearing her black leather jacket, black ripped jeans, and her black and white knee high boots. "Hey Deaunte! Just wanted to know if you were going to the bar my friend works at!" Josie asked with a smile. "Yeah!! Which friend?" I asked walking up to Josie. "Lucas!" She said exited. "Lucas!?!?! That smart kid in band!" I shouted out starting to walk towards Josie. "Yeah…

Poster 33 Page 1 This poster does not depict what someone who would sign up to fight in the war would want to see. Seeing all the blood on the field conveys a since of weakness in the United States’ army. Also, the depiction of some of the soldiers not participating in the fight gives off the vibe that some soldiers are abused and are used in the fight because they are not as valuable as others. Seeing that poster gives of the feeling that participating would most like result in your death,…

I think the dialogue in this trilogy is very sophisticated in some parts and not much in others. One being the famous of Gandalf “You shall not pass,” in the Mines of Moria on Khazad-dûm where Balrog rose from the dept. While Gandalf's was more funny and almost scary, Sam's quote was more heart touching and inspirational, at the end of The Two Towers. He talks for a good one or two minutes about how there is good in the world and it's…

With the two men taking up Alice’s time she patiently listens to their poem and talks to them for a long while. Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum are a part of the reason that Alice meets some more people that are an element of the game of chess. Alice all of the sudden hears a loud sound like a steam engine, as to find the Red King snoring quite loudly in his slumber (156). The Red King is a…

Time stands still, frozen like New York in the wintertime. And all I can hear is the fast da dum da dum of my palpitating heart. Adrenaline spikes in waves through my clammy body. I look straight at the brown wooden door in front of me and pretend it is the audience. Taking a deep breath of the musky air, I envision myself bold and confident. My voice loud and clear, the words of my testimony flowing like a rushing river without a stutter or voice crack. The silence breaks as I feel a light tap…

the restaurant are divided into several rooms which can be used for planning private events as well as large and small parties. The rich menu on offer at China Blue comes with some amazing contrast. For starters there is the essentially Shanghainese Dum Sum menu. The Four Seasons Restaurant housed in Seagram Building on 99E. 52an St. Midtown is an old school, but iconic establishment that was designed by Philip Johnson in 1959. The…
