do anything on Labor Day weekend. I usually just stay at the house with my family, however; this Labor Day weekend I went to Six Flags for the first time in years with my best friend.

I liked all of the interesting signs and prints throughout the building. Although I did not enjoy the wax figure siting in a windowsill. I'm not…

Small World was a children’s ride where you ride in a wooden boat along the water. Small to-like animatronics would pop up and dance and sing. Despite the long line, children enjoyed this ride so much until, August 10th…

Title Thanatopsis is an entrancing poem which portrays death as a sweet return to the ultimate nourisher: Mother Nature. The poet, William Cullen Bryant uses the personification of nature and death, and shifts in mood to not only acknowledge the bitter ache of loss, but to soften the sharpness of the injury, by opening the reader’s mind to the other more positive aspects of death. In addition, he uses grief counselling techniques, and realism to get his message across. In the first couple of…

Rosa Parks was an extraordinary women inside and out. She showed wonderful character and marvelous bravery through what she did and how she compelled herself.

Rosa Parks not only represented African-Americans, she also represented women. Rosa Parks first…
