The three of us, Alicia, Sarah, and I, were running our warm up before our first big track meet of the season as she panicked over running the 100m hurdles.

This song also shows Aesthetic realism, which insists on detailing the world the way someone (the narrator) sees it. In this quote, “Happiness hit her like a bullet in the back, struck from a great height,” the narrator gives a simile depicting his or her thought of how joy came to the girl. This work can be deduced in many ways. Literally, a dog day is a…

One fact was mind blowing that “Cambodia has the highest number of amputees in the world”. It states that “one out of 350 people is missing some kind of body part” (90).
