H is for Halloween Dance The Halloween Dance was one of the best Dances I have ever went to. The Halloween Dance was a dance celebrated on the last weekend of October on Friday. You got to wear a costume to the dance, but the costume couldn't be bloody, it couldn't bring fake weapons or real, and you also couldn't wear a mask. Before the dance, if you are in SAC (a meeting for students and staff only), then you work there, but you can still dance. You can get in for free, but you got to get a…

On the other hand, the forest, especially at night, expresses the more mystical and magical side of…
Throughout the semester we have learned about all the different ways that the welfare can provide assistance to families who are in need. Nevertheless, we have also learned and saw in various ways, the struggles and obstacles families face in order to get what they need to get back up on their feet. George Tillman and John Q are two men who prove that struggling to get what you need from the welfare system is worth the success in the end. However, I personally do not believe people should…
Edgar Wright is a really great director who knows how to make people laugh. He is known for his Comedic Cornetto Trilogy, and the movies I will be talking about are “Shaun of the Dead”, and “Hot Fuzz” are the two of them.

Nick chose to go camping and fishing to get his mind off the war and his life, but to also reflect on all the opportunities he’s given, the people he met, and the things he learned. Some of these include, Bugs, who had shown him to how to clean up his plate with bread, and Hopkins, who had told him how to make good coffee during the war.
