summer day for years. As I throw back my third glass of lemonade on the porch swing, I hear my mother talking to her friend on the phone about our trip to New York City. “Yes Laquisha, I have to take Nova! Parker won’t watch her, he’s too busy with Rachel to watch his own daughter…” whispered my mother in her iPhone. I began to walk around the house to begin packing for a trip that I did not even want to go on. It took me about 3 hours to pack…

I and my two daughters, Racina and Rachel became a part of Cinderella’s life ten years after the death of her mother. At thirteen, it was clear to her father that Cinderella needed a mother-like figure to support her. So, within a year we married and I took on the role as a stepmother. At first, both welcomed us into their home. But, it was not long until that all changed. Soon Cinderella started to show her true colours, becoming quite impossible as she refused to do any of her chores. However…

Dreaming means something that might not always come true. Realistic means something that can come true and that it’s going to happen. Even though everyone has a choice to either dream or be real, but I choose realistic because I don’t want to dream something that might not come true. I choose realistic because it’s facing reality and I know for sure that it can come possible. For example, in the movie “ The Hunger Games “ is about several teams trying to survive by killing other…

Over the next few days, Abigale tried to stay away from any type of social media. In fact, she tried to stay away from doing anything out of the ordinary. She woke up, got ready for school, went to school, came back home, and locked herself in her room. She did not stray from that schedule at all, for fear of what could occur if she did. The messages she’d received from DarkHeart434 a few nights before scared her. She didn’t know what was going on, and she didn’t know if she was safe. It was…

(Johnson). Keep this in…

Melinda, at the beginning of the book, seems insecure because on the first page she contemplates where she should sit, “Where to sit? I’ve never been a backseat wastecase. If I sit in the middle, a stranger could sit next to me. If I sit in the front, it will make me look like a little kid, but…” (page 3). She also mentioned, “I know enough not to bring lunch on the first day of high school. There is no way of telling what the acceptable fashion will be” (page 7). I think she might be…

on cultural relativism, he defines it as “a theory about the nature of morality” (Rachel, pg 19). He then shows based on his definition of cultural relevance that the argument is invalid. Even if the premise is true, the conclusion does not follow. Therefore the very form of argument is a mistaken belief. Here is what the argument would have us believed. Since, “different cultures have different moral codes” (Rachel, pg 12). It follows from the facts that there is no objective “truth” in…
