Ice Skating And that’s how I broke my leg, just kidding, but I bruised it really badly, here’s the story behind that. was December 2014, my sister had discovered the “joy” of ice skating and was obsessed with it. She constantly asked my parents if her and her friends could go ice skating at the arena. I had never gone ice skating before and asked her one day if I could go with her and her friend Lucy. We got in the car to go pick up Lucy with the usual silence the whole ride. When we…

Kel had a while before he was scheduled to work and knew that since Dixie was around, that if he was running late, she'd ensure he was covered. Thinking quickly about how to approach what happened today and the fact he wanted to make sure Johnny was doing as fine as possible after such a difficult morning, Kel figured it would be best to just be straight with him. "Before I drop you back at the Stanleys, would it be okay if we went to your apartment and talked? I won't have time otherwise…

My midnight black eight-year-old eyes stare intently at the tall man standing in front of me. He wears a purple and yellow striped shirt, a very unflattering color combination, with thick sand-tan cargo shorts, and piled on top of his head is a massive brown afro. Who is that? I wonder as I clasp my sister’s sweaty chubby hand tighter. The man steps aside to reveal a big banner on the doorway. “Yerba Buena Skatebowl Camp” it reads, and it hangs lopsided, one end brushing the top of a young…

Popping An Ollie Physics Around Campus Ryan Meehan Physics 102 Spring 2017 This is a picture of me popping an ollie in the basement of Dooley Hall. An ollie is the first trick that many skaters learn, as it is the foundation for almost every other trick and can help skaters avoid obstacles such as small cracks and rocks that could ruin your day, and knees. The physics behind popping an ollie is very interesting, and after teaching my friends, and kids that I babysit how to skate…

Sammy’s uniform he wore to work was another symbol. When he quit and took off his apron and bow tie, he was going against an authority figure, breaking free from the uniform, making decisions for himself and following his instinct. He was learning to make choices for himself, like all of us adults do every day. If there was a consequence by him quitting he was going to figure it out on his own; even though Sammy didn’t get to run away with those girls, like he thought it would happen, when he…

Imagery-visually descriptive or figurative language, especially in a literary work. Ex: "So she drew her mother away, skipping, dancing, and frisking fantastically, among hillocks of the dead people, like a creature that had nothing in common with a bygone and buried generation, nor owned herself akin to it." (Ch. 10) This is describing Pearl being full of energy skipping and doing other things in a cemetery. She is dancing all over the tombstones. Pearl does not care or realize that what she is…

Scott and Sharon 's Similar Style No two humans are exactly the same. With seven billion people on Earth, a person’s personality is what sets them apart from everyone else. Everyone has a different experience of life, perspective and mind. It is how a mother tells her identical twins apart and what makes an applicant stand out in a job interview. As personality expresses who a person is, in literature an author’s writing style express themselves. An author’s writing style is what makes their…

suits (this one was a matte black, it would be invisible in the night sky) appeared out of a panel in the wall and assembled itself around him as he stood holding Loki’s gaze, smiling slightly. “Stand behind me, put your arms around my neck,” Tony instructed. Loki did, and a moment later they were flying. Tony was flying slower than usual, since he had an unarmored companion on his back, but still they were whipping through the sky, almost silently around the mostly-quiet, mostly-dark…

(Michelle Reads) It was a normal quiet day in the mundane town of Sioux Falls South Dakota. The streets were empty and the lights were turned out. But all of a sudden you could hear a loud cry coming from the Gonzalez’s house. “What was that noise?” asked Sierra.” “It sounds like Jennifer” implied Diego.” ( Noah) ( Michelle Reads) Jennifer was upstairs by herself so the family all rushed up the stairs to see what was wrong. When the family got upstairs, they saw that Jennifer was gone and…

As I was reading a book about figure skating I got from the library one day, I turned to a page titled “Advanced Jumps”. I was about twelve, and I was not nearly ready for most of the jumps on that page, especially the second hardest one, a lutz jump. I had seen a lutz before, and I knew that it was the second hardest single jump besides an axel, which has an extra half rotation. I had never even done a single jump before, but I immediately wanted to try a it, because I had always wondered what…
