On October twenty first of twenty seventeen, I volunteered at a carnival that benefitted Glen Cove candidate Gaitley Stevenson- Matthews. As a child, Gaitley was on the television show Barney and Friends, and later in life became an acting coach, and vocalist. What is interesting about Gaitley is that he has lived all over the United States. He was born in North Carolina, and later in life moved to Kentucky, New York City, Glen Cove, San Fransisco, and Dallas. His vast experiences in almost…
Samah Zaatouri Chalghoumi Eng 111 Assignment-Narrative December 7, 2017 The Red Watch Through our life journey, we see many experiences that become a memoir. The fact to reverse our memories and let our minds bring back certain special events is more like a biography for a section of our lives. I still remember a happy childhood memory that stuck in my mind whenever I look back in the past. In addition, my earliest childhood memories were relating to my grandma. Because my mother was working, so…
Humans have continuously been drawn to being entertained by or participating in acts of violence since Cain killed Abel for their father’s inheritance to present-day club fights where Paret, a Cuban club fighter, was killed. Violence is used as a form of defence and as a form of reward which is seen by Griffith’s need of satisfaction through defeating his opponent, Paret. When the reader begins reading about Paret and his fight with Griffith, the sentences are longer in order to correspond…
On the 14th of April 2015, my braces were removed at exactly 8:40 in the morning. It is such a relief to be able to eat popcorn, toffees and biltong. I can even bite into an apple without hurting myself or breaking the brackets. I feel now I can smile more, and I do not have to be afraid of people laughing at the metal tracks on my teeth. Although now I have to wear a retainer…
The character with the most leadership that I noticed was Hiccup. He has a lot of pressure on him being Stoick the Vast’s son, and he’s not really a Viking at all. Watching How To Train Your Dragon is like reading a Mark Twain novel; you watch the boy grow up. In the beginning of the movie Hiccup is more of a burden to the village than helpful. Nevertheless at the end Hiccup leads the other teenagers in Dragon Training to save the villagers from the dragon’s nest. That is a big turning point…
The Glass Castle - Choice 2 Just because the past is dark that doesn’t mean the future cannot be bright and the American can not be reached.

The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls is a good example of how a family overcomes poverty by working hard for a better future. Jeanette Walls and her siblings must escape poverty by getting jobs at a young age, working…

which kind. We also make reindeer food which is oats mixed with glitter that we sprinkle on the front lawn. We eat chicken tortilla soup for dinner that I start in the crockpot in the morning. After dinner we pick out a Christmas movie to watch with popcorn. The kids then get to open their new pajamas to wear them that night, they also get to open a present from their grandma. Then it is time to put out the cookies, milk and vegetables for Santa and read a Christmas bedtime story before bed.…
ready to take a super-charged ride to the action filled city of Paris, France, then this is a must see movie for you. Taken, not for the faint of heart, will keep you on the edge of your seat for the entire ninety-one minutes. Be prepared to have the popcorn container pried from your hand when the credits start to roll on this high energy thriller. Taken really has no right to be as much fun as it is. A movie with less interest in character development and dialogue than in roundhouse kicks and…
Most of the audience was filled with parents and their children so it’s enjoyable for the children but the parents seemed more intrigued with the concession stands that had candy, popcorn, and hot chocolate for a reasonable price. I myself, as part of the audience, felt the same way towards the play. It was hard to put myself into the play because most of it was confusing and you really had to have a background on ‘A Christmas Carol’…
