Abstract The movie Life is Beautiful is about a family that endures life at the concentration camp during the Holocaust. During the Holocaust, Jews were taken away from their homes by the Nazis and put into concentration camps, in which they were treated brutally.

Life is Beautiful, a movie about a family in a concentration camp, is an inaccurate representation of the…

Ding, Ding, Ding! Bells from all over the town rang, waking Noah up from his deep sleep.

High school. It changes people into the person they said they’d never become. As my friends and I matured throughout high school, some of us changed for the better and some for the worse. Only a couple of my friends, or who I thought were my “friends” had changed for the worse. Some people who were my friends at the beginning of freshman year, I am no longer that great of friends with now. High School definitely has its way of changing people, especially myself. Here I am now, as a senior, very…

to move particles or teeny tiny beads. There has been a lot of work towards tractor beam technology. There have been many advances in tractor beam technology such as sonic, light, and laser beams.

It created an acoustic force field. The sonic tractor beam uses a timed sequence of sound waves, that create a low…

In order to evoke sympathy in the reader, Wordsworth’s narrator presents the contrast…

“I can’t believe we finally get to see him!” I said as I walked quickly towards the huge airport. It was a hot Thursday afternoon in San Antonio, the date exactly was November 21, 1963. “The New York International airport is amazing isn’t it?” my husband John Connally asked as he led me into one of the giant open doors. Both me and my husband had to get our bags checked, including the presents I had brought with me. I had to quickly fix my husband’s suit while we were waiting for the men to…

us to be able to travel while in Antarctica. I also called a travel agency and got a pilot to fly us to Antarctica. We traveled across the ocean when devastation struck. Sirens blared, my friends panicking, the captain yelling warnings from the loudspeaker. I shot out of my seat and rushed to the area with the parachutes. I was tossing the parachutes to all the my friends and the captain, when the plane lurched to one side and I slid and hit the door busting it wide open. Quickly grabbing the…

The week of June 28th, 2013 was about to be the most unbelievable week of my life to date. I was about to embark on an amazing vacation to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. I can remember all the details of this vacation from the smells in the air to the taste of all the delicious food they had to offer. My mom’s whole side of the family went on this vacation to attend my grandmother’s intimate wedding that was held on the soft-sand, clearwater beach right outside of our hotel. Friday,…
