Orphan Train

Last night our train had a huge arguement. The Black’s, Smith’s and Mr. Richards all wanted to go to Fort Vancouver. The rest of us thought we could make it without the extra work. Mrs. Black ended up convincing her husband to skip going to Fort Vancouver. We ended up voting and it ended up being 4-2 in the end. Everybody was upset because of all the arguing but I was happy that we were going to get there a little bit earlier. When we woke up, Mr. Richards was gone. He had gone without us.…

It was the last moment of peace John would ever feel, as he dreamt of being reunited with his family, and being held by his mother again. The no. 52 northbound train from Atlanta, Georgia to Greenville, South Carolina would on no occasion reach its last stop (Barnett 2015). As the boxcars toppled off the tracks like a line of dominoes tipping over, some of them twisting like a pretzel, his body slammed against…

Short tracks and long tracks have many similarities, but also differences, so here is the one that will fit you the best. The two different types of sleds can have the same motor in them, it is all where you want to ride it. You can get most of the same options but some options you can't get on the other sled.

meanings, symbols, and a tense situation. As Alex Link, a student from York University, explained, from an onlookers’ point of view there is very little that occurs between the two protagonists. Link describes the encounter as: “a couple has drinks at a train station in Spain and argues about something rather vague” (Link 66). To the untrained eye, this is exactly what happens. But when you take a closer look, we see a couple with a strained relationship discussing a complicated procedure and…

Mr. Smith goes to Washington 1. How does Jefferson Smith become a senator? Also, compare his characteristics with the other candidates. Given the difficulty of finding a suitable Senator, just mentioning the name of Jefferson Smith, a young idealist full of innocence and American ideals of democracy, a subject that seems easy to handle and deceive. If Smith already is quite naive, the young man also relies heavily on his colleague, Senator Paine, since he and his father were close friends from…

But in the pictures you can see the story of a family trying to reunite, a mother and her children leaving everything the ever owned to reach a new home in San…

The satchel had been my best find in a while from the thrift store. The leather was kind of beaten, but that made it all the more appealing to me. That bag already had a life without me. Maybe it was some drug runner's money bag. Maybe it had belonged to a spy who'd used it undercover and had no more need of it. But whoever it was liked strawberry chapstick. I found a half finished one in the bottom along with some old gum wrappers and crumbs of some sort. I myself preferred mint though. Mint…
