Ferris wheel

It was huge, and right by the bay. It was super pretty. We went on a huge ferris wheel, and while at the top, you could see a lot of Chicago. I was scared of heights, so I didn’t do a lot of looking around. I regret this now. We went on a speedboat called the “Seadog Extreme.” It’s advertised as a thrill ride. It whips you around…

cousin Dominique, and a close family friend Dennis. I’ve always liked riding rides at the fair. But that particular year the outcome of one ride wasn't what i expected. Dominique and I went on this ride called ‘ Zippo ‘. The Zippo is kind of like a ferris wheel except you’re caged in this kind of seat with someone else and you don’t have seat belt or anything … just a closed caged door to hold on to. As it goes around it flips you backwards and forwards over and over again. I forgot to mention…

Up in the mountains, surrounded by looming trees and deafening insects—this was how I spent a week of my life. I spent a moment of my 2014 summer in Tennessee’s Smoky Mountains with my family. The best part of the trip was the cabin with all its flaws and excitements. Homesickness was absent due to the coziness of our cabin called City Bear. From the moment we arrived, the design of the cabin, with its gadgets and the view all around us, took my breath away. Our car bumped along the gravel road…

I saw the cloudless blue sky. I saw the Ferris wheel moving up and around, allowing its riders to look across the park. I saw families walking around together; laughing, eating, and smiling.

breathing heavy and tried to keep my eyes open. I felt yourself going slowly to the top. My butt came out of the seat and i was holding onto my harness as hard as I can. We went all the way around and i looked down seeing all the people and the ferris wheel to the side of us. We went around and around. I was screaming my heart out and I could feel my heart beating. The ride slowy came to a complete stop. I was so curious to find out what Lyla thought of the…

Screening: The Third Man (1949): Directed by Carol Reed, this black and white film had exceptionally articulate visuals of landscapes throughout the city of Vienna in 1948. In spite of being for the most part shot around evening time and in the sewers, the director does an incredible job capturing the overall character of the city. The music was fairly interesting, and added a feeling of peculiarity to the film. Although all the actors played their roles, respectively, Orson Welles was my…

glimpse of the other girls in my school and just feel insecure again. Then the same cycle repeats again and again.
