As the rising sun shines through the curtains, I open my eyes to the beautiful colors of blue, green and gray.

I love the utility of a sabre, I am fair with archery and as for guns, well, let 's just say I 'm in favor of them. Guns are equalizers. Gun Control means having one in your hands when needed and hitting what you intend. I am not a weak…

Steven Besson 4-29 Pd. 1-2 The Catcher in the Rye Motifs The red hunting hat Beginning: “I put on this hat that I’d bought in New York that morning.
