The old man sits on the porch. Maryland summers are classified somewhere under humid subtropical and humid continental but all the man feels is the accumulation of perspiration around his temples. The man in the neighboring balcony smokes. He had moved in a few weeks ago, and that’s all anyone seems to know about him. On some days, he is a rather cynical character of piercing stares, loud sneers, and cigarette smoke sputtering out of his mouth when he scoffs. On others, he’s the elegant,…

One of the reasons The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was banned was for its language. The excessive use of the word “nigger” was a reason for the book being banned. Another reason would be Huckleberry Finns views on religion. People have…

under the midday sun in bright California. The heat was nearly unbearable. But at least inside of the building the air conditioner left everything nice and cool. Nevertheless, there was sweat beading on the back of Noah’s neck. He could feel the perspiration on his face, feel the clamminess of his hands as he gripped his camera periodically to take pictures of the comers and goers of the event.

predicaments with them only belonged to specific Fridays . Fridays where I attend school. Fridays where I attend French. Fridays where I attend Mr Beaumont's class. Fridays like this one. My eyes shot open to the stampede galloping in my heart; beads of perspiration trickling down the contours of my face contributed to my already saturated pajamas. “Another pre-Friday nightmare”, I brooded. I squirmed out of bed and headed straight…

I can almost smell the raw wood, and the men’s sweat. We are in a…
