“Pow, Pow, Pop, Pop, Bang, Bang” the sounds of guns on TV always bring excitement and action to us as we watch a movie about a great war, not worrying if it will ever happen to us .

In Bell’s book it’s about a war in Beijing (the students vs. the army) bringing the feeling of war and betrayal in this story. For this book the theme that best described…

Growing up, I had many problems with my left leg and foot. Looking back, going back and forth to the hospital and doctor’s appointments really made me into much stronger person that I am today. As a result, it made me want to become a nurse so I can help other people out the same way those doctors and nurses did when I needed help.

was when I was ten years old and I still have never ran into anything more painful. The wart was on the bottom of my foot. It was under the big toe on my left foot.

I got twelve stitches. Then the doctor brings a cast and I put it on my…
