Mansfield Park

When we think of amusement parks, such as Disney and Six flags there is no learning involve. Let alone does anyone ever think that one could help them understand a tragedy like 9-11. We only think of fun, laughter, games, and roller coasters. We do not see swamps based on the Vietnam war or roller coasters based on OJ Simpson car chase in 1994. It seems so unusual for some people to have a theme park like this. In this short story we see how this unusual theme park helps a boy and his friends…

(Inquisitr). Amusement parks are actually safer than we think. The chance of an injury or death at an amusement park is extremely low. In fact, according to the International Association of Amusement Park Attractions, only one in every 250 million riders experience a death caused by a ride at an amusement park. The International Association of Amusement Park Attractions also stated that more injuries are caused by sports, riding a horse, or riding a bicycle than by amusement park rides. Safety…

For the Love of the Game The smell of the dirt and the fresh cut grass fills my nose and sends a tingling sensation throughout my entire body. I crunch on sunflower seeds in the corner of the stone dugout and then repeatedly spit the soggy shells at my teammates, forcing smiles to ripple across their faces. I tie up my muddy laces on my worn out Under Armour cleats and head for the dugout exit as I pop a piece of Dubble Bubble into my mouth. On the way, I grab my matte black helmet and my…

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. After school Friday, we headed to Illinois. We stayed at a water park hotel? I'm not completely sure what it technically called. It was a tropical themed hotel. 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…

The Bus Ride That Changed It All When Rosa Parks set foot in that Montgomery city bus after a long day of working as a seamstress on December 1 of 1996, she didn’t expect her life, and others, to change forever. Back in the early to mid 1900’s, segregation played a big role in some people’s everyday lives. Rosa Parks’s family was partially the reason that she refused to give up her seat that day. Rosa Parks has earned many awards for her act of heroism. Rosa Parks’s refusal to give up her seat…

A long time ago, DisneyLand used to be the most popular children’s amusement park in the world, but things have changed since then. Then, it all came crashing down, and DisneyLand was abandoned and forgotten in history. It all started because of one peculiar ride, Small World. 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…

In the movie Twelve Monkeys, directed by Terry Gilliam, we see a post-apocalyptic world devastated by an unknown virus that spread and killed five billion people in 1997. The survivors moved underground, leaving the surface of the earth to be ruled by wild animals. Now, in 2035, prisoner James Cole has "volunteered" to return to 1996 as part of a scientific research, in hopes that man will be able to re-inhabit the surface of the earth. His mission: to find the "Army of the 12 Monkeys" who, it…
