It was one of those days. The kind of day that was so hot, no one would want to leave their air conditioned homes, not even to go to work. But on those kinds of days, my family and I would decide to go on a trip. My brothers, Andrew and Alex, and I begged and begged my parents to take us to six flags basically ever since we could talk, and in the summer of 2004, they couldn’t take it anymore and packed us into the tan Ford Windstar started on our day trip to Six Flags. I was so excited I felt…
When I was little I thought the world would be a good place but really it’s not. My life isn’t perfect, but my parents always wanted the best for me. My family started drifting apart when I was in the fifth grade. Their divorce made a great impact on me. I had thought the divorce was just temporary because I would see my parents talk & hang out around home at times. But little did I know that they were discussing about how are we going to be a family & how the situation had affected my siblings…
With every year and every day that passes nothing seems to change, we think and believe that everything is exactly the same from the year before. But as the years go by does anything actually remain the same? Do we still communicate the same way we did just yesterday or are we just aloof to the past/history? A Postcard from the Volcano by Wallace Stevens’s emphasis the importance of language, the importance of observing and remembering the people who have left a mark in what language is now. The…
To start off in Chapter 12, Jem transitions into middle school and his entire attitude changes as he turns into a moody, angry teenager (Literally me lol). To make things worse because Scout does not know how to deal with Jem, they both find out that Dill is not returning in the summer. They are super bummed, and Atticus gets into a special program and is away for two weeks, which leaves the children alone with Calpurnia. While Atticus is away, Calpurnia decided that she does not trust them…
Though they lived centuries apart from one another, Christopher McCandless and Henry David Thoreau both uncovered the importance of living simplistically by retreating to the woods. When Thoreau first arrived at the house that he was to be staying at by Walden Pond, the first thing he noted was that the house was quite dilapidated. The walls were stained by the weather and had quite a few holes in them, causing the nights to be cold. The house also had no plastering nor a chimney, and the entire…

It was a casual day when I was in my third class of the day. I fell asleep while writing an essay well I think I did. Anyways I woke up on an island and tried to call my parents but I had no service and my phone was on twenty five percent battery. So I turned off my phone so it didn't die in my pocket incase off an emergency. I was really scared because I didn’t even know where I was or how far I was from land to get help. I got up to see what was around the island there where a lot of…
The day on the front was like no other, it was peaceful, dreamlike. All the airplanes had ceased fire, the tanks were no longer being operated. It was so hard to believe that all of a sudden everything had changed. My no-good rifle had malfunctioned and shot me in the leg. I was taken to a hospital next to a local train station; the hospital was dark, gloomy, and had a prominent stench of death. The first two days were a blur, the only thing I remember was excruciating pain. I finally…
