I'll Stick Around

about a lot. But the thing is I experienced it and learned. Now I won’t make the same mistakes I did last year and there is probably some areas where I might slip up and learn. Part of my thinking is if there is a situation that is a little awkward I’ll learn for later and hopefully not trip up again.

This shows how far technology has gone, it turned figures of respect and honor into…

In the story, it may seem like Darry dislikes Ponyboy, though I know otherwise: “Suddenly I realized, horrified, that Darry was crying. He didn’t make a sound, but tears were running down his cheeks. I hadn’t seen him cry in years, not even when Mom and Dad were killed” (Hinton,98). Darry, Sodapop, and Ponyboy are three brothers who lost their parents in a car crash.

He used to hold you and say ‘Now that’s a red car and don’t you ever forget it.’ And sure enough, you never did,” my great grandmother explained. My cousins also lived with my great grandmother. They were a few years older than me and I always tried to keep up with all of them.…

that had already been set in stone for several years in middle school. However, I was able to find some very kind people who allowed me to befriend them. There were ups and downs with these friends, but I learned to appreciate the ones who would stick around through the tough times and help me out. Making new friends was made easier by the fact that I now had new friends from band camp. These people were there to look after me the first day and it was nice knowing I wasn’t completely alone. The…

Aileana looked forward to him joining her and her grandmother for the holiday dinner. This was her first Christmas in Scotland, and she looked forward to the festivities around town. Her only regret was not having her parents and sister here to celebrate the holidays with her in the Highlands. At least, she would see her sister after the New Year.

The book The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain has held a controversial message since Twain published it in 1884. Even though the United States abolished slavery with the ratification of the thirteenth amendment nineteen years before this story was published, except for in one state (In Mississippi slavery was banned 129 years after the book’s publication), the theme still had a huge message that still sends shock waves into the modern era.
