RILEY Yeah… (Shifts uncomfortably on the park bench) ANGELINE What’s wrong? You’re more quiet today than you usually are. RILEY I’m fine, really. I just don’t have anything to say. It’s kind…

There comes a time where I hear about something that just makes me absolutely sick to my stomach, and it’s a deep gut-feeling that eats away at my insides and destroys me. When I hear about the crisis in Congo, it is far worse than that. The situation in Congo is a complicated one, filled with 125 years of slavery, rape, dictatorship, war and many other unfortunate incidents. However I am going to focus on just a single problem that is afflicting the Congo. This problem is mining. Mining itself…

to blame for the downfall of Gatsby? Was he really responsible for his own actions? I think Gatsby was responsible for his own actions because you can’t blame what you do on another person. No matter how much it was apparent to the reader that everything he was doing was wrong and could be contributed to the other characters of the story you can't just pawn blame off on other people for your actions. George wilson killed Gatsby. George’s wife myrtle is having an affair on george with Tom…

they want and need you to be. They're hard on us, harder than mom and dad ever were. I thought it would be easier than this, but boy oh boy was I wrong. I know that those who are training us just was us to be strong and to succeed, but it's immensely brutal. Although all of this is horrible now, I can't wait until I'm an official United States Marine. They keep reminding us that we are only recruits, and are yet to be Marines. We are constantly being reminded that only the best of us will…

teacher before. Sometimes they just get on your nerves with the endless list of rules and homework assignments. We're big enough to admit that most of our gripes have had more to do with our own laziness than anything bad on the teacher's part, though. Since no one likes to admit this to themselves, though, we totally get it when Ji-li's friends all start putting down the teachers, using Mao's system to take down the powers that be in their classrooms. Thing is, they aren't just whining about…

My older brother (the eldest of 7 mind you, who graduated with a bachelors at 19) has no clue how to change a dipper (or so he says.) The reason he claims he doesn’t know is because he’s never had to do it, not because he can’t figure it out. I however have been changing diapers since I was 5, so what does that tell you about gender roles. But that is exactly how Fern’s writing works.

Waiting for the rusty yellow bus to swing around the corner, my brown hair is getting in my blue eyes. The air is crisp and so are the withered leaves I’m standing on. “Bye honey! Have a great day! Go get em’! Love you!”s travel through the air. I remember reading somewhere that the reason you get so paranoid and exaggerate sometimes is because your senses become overactive. Crossing my fingers that it won’t be all sixth graders, I turn around to see the bus making it’s way around the curb. The…
