ILOVEYOU

Plot Twist I really wanted to go to Baba and tell him that we had to leave Kabul. Of course it was that or Hassan and Ali leaving Kabul. But I had to do what I had to do, we could not be here together, it was not right. It had to be the perfect time, also when Ali and Hassan were gone. So that day I had waited till they had to go to get food from the market. Than that was the moment I had done something I never had done before, I lied and black mailed my brother ,the person that fed from…

My g’ma and papa had a dream to move to the country and retire; so they bought 10 acres, cleared it and lived there. My papa was a hardworking man, so he never actually retired. By day, he built custom cages and bred exotic birds; at night he worked as a prison guard. I spent every summer with my grandparents. After my papa left for work, my g’ma would make hot cocoa; then we would sit on the covered porch he’d built for her, sometimes for hours, and talk about everything. It was so peaceful,…

TONGUE CONTROL James 3:1-12 Have you ever wished that, like the cruise control on your cars, you could have a tongue control switch? I’ve often thought that if I could just cut out my tongue or tape my mouth shut my walk with the Lord would be infinitely easier. It would stop the unkind word, the undisciplined word, the stupid word, the inaccurate word, etc. from escaping my mouth and becoming reality rather than just thought. Not to mention the fact that it would also prevent the sin of…

The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde has a unique title and tons of irony in the play. Throughout the play both Algernon and Jack impersonate someone named Earnest, but they are both ironically not earnest. Specifically how they act frivolously, irreverently, and manipulate others. The definition of earnest is “showing depth and sincerity of feeling.” Throughout the play, the way Algernon acts frivolously makes him not earnest. In the first act, Algernon knows that bringing Jack to…

Making the right choice should never be so hard. In My Sister’s Keeper, by Jodi Picoult, the main character, Anna, faces the choice of saving her sister or having a “typical” teenage life. In the small town of Upper Darby, Rhode Island lives a family of four plus Anna. Anna, a thirteen year-old girl, is the “family’s constant,” (Picoult 39). Anna seems to be the one keeping them steady, she never shows her emotions, and she is always giving. Her parents (with the help of a doctor) chose all of…

I’ve been friends with my best friend, Kyla for years. Ever since I met her the first day of sixth grade I knew I’d enjoy having her around. When I found out that I was leaving the island of Guam I was really sad. The sadness only stemmed from the fact that I was leaving my very best friend. I’d live in Guam for just about four years and I was ready to live somewhere new. When I broke the news to Kyla she took it very well. Both of our dads are in the military so, moving was normal for…

In chapter 7 we see a great change in Daisy’s character, by the end of the chapter she has been revealed to be a selfish, manipulative character that, when it comes down to it, will first and foremost look out for herself. F. Scott Fitzgerald has done this in a number of ways, some of which include speech and description. As Nick and Gatsby enter the salon, Daisy and Jordan are lounging on the sofa in white dresses – exactly as they are in chapter 1, when we first meet these characters. This…

Where most children’s first utterance is “mama,” mine was “book.” In preschool, as other kids scampered around Toys "R" Us, I devoured the shelves of Barnes & Noble. Some go weak in the knees at the scent of chocolate lava cake, but the new book smell has always been my aroma of choice. By the time kindergarten rolled around, my teachers had granted me the magical title of "classroom reader." As I read to my classmates at lunchtime, books, like pixie dust, enabled me to soar. Reading has…

After five days of nervous energy, at last, Malcolm is here in my apartment. I’ve uncorked a bottle of wine and prepared pasta with pecorino cheese and sausage for dinner. I pour two glasses of wine while he talks of how great it felt to drive the coast route. Something he hasn’t done in a while. And that he would have arrived earlier. Except Emese insisted to fix breakfast, and while eating, initiate him into the art of writing a screenplay. After dinner, we walk to the beach. “You seem…
