The term “muscle” car refers to the two-door sports coupes that were manufactured from 1949 to the mid-1970s. These small cars had huge powerful engines that were…

Often in life, people will say that every human is a bit of good and a bit of bad. This does not seem true with the all of the characters in the famously acclaimed book A Tale of Two Cities. The author Charles Dickens places the setting of this story right in the middle of the French Revolution in the late 1700s. In this Historical Fiction novel, it take place in the starvation-infested cities of London, England as well as Paris, France. The novel begins with Jerry Cruncher delivering an urgent…

Surprisingly, my passion for cars grew when I started mowing lawns at the age of 8. That small two stroke engine was an opening for something bigger. My first car restoration was a 1957 Porsche Speedster 356a. It was a car resting in a grave it made itself with the elements eating away at it. When I finally brought forth its beautiful something would always fail when driving like steering bolt breaks, oil tube blows, and the latest a transmission linkage deteriorates. With the beginning of…

The film Sliding Doors by Peter Howitt guides the audience through the two parallel universes of Helen’s life. The film starts with Helen racing to make a train after just being fired. In one storyline we see Helen get stuck behind a little girl for just long enough to miss her train, and she is late getting home. In the other storyline, we see her make the train and get home on time. As the story unfolds, we see sliding doors used in many other ways as a way of foreshadowing when an…

over and over again. I highly recommend that a person should read this novel sometime during his or her life, just to get a taste of what a great detective story is like. Those who get extremely absorbed in the book, like me, will have their hearts racing throughout the story. It is such a hard book to put down for anyone who loves “the thrill of the chase”…

I read the biographic account of Louis ‘Louie’ Silvie Zamperini, written by Laura Hillenbrand and titled ‘Unbroken’. Louie Zamperini was born January 26, 1917 in Olean, New York. He lived his childhood out in Torrance, California after his family relocated there when he was two years old. Zamperini would be as normal as my neighbor except for the superhero like resilience and perseverance he had. Louie Zamperini lived a long and full life of 97 years, but not all of those years were pleasant…

alarm rang, my ears buzzed like a bumble bee. Even though I was awake, sleep was still upon me. From there I turned off my alarm and got ready for school, which took me 45 minutes to do. Soon my bus came while I was watching television on my 15 inch flat screen TV. I will never get tired of Tom and Jerry. Anyways, I then shouted “Goodbye mom!”, and ran outside. I got on my bus to meet Pumpkin. He then said “Hey mascot. Are you ready to have some fun?” I didn’t respond to his question. I just…
