would depreciate. Robbins displays his thoughts on the downfall of trees through the quote: “Humans have cut down the biggest and best trees and left the runts behind” (128).

I feel sad. Well, I wouldn’t say sad, more of down but not blue. It’s something I can’t put description into but either way I’m tired from and of it. It’s not unbearable or pushing me to suicide, nothing like that. I feel unmotivated, lost, as if I’m not grounded from the world and my body just kind of aimlessly floats around the planet with nothing to give or receive. I can still be happy and feel other emotions, don’t get me wrong, just once I no longer have a distraction time freezes and the…

grew up on the farm and also saw Charlotte, the spider, himself. The weak points in the story is that the author could have elaborated more on Fern’s life and her maturity as she progressed through the film. I learned that you might be the littlest runt in the pact, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t people out there to help and be there for you. I defiantly recommend this book to anyone who likes a story of courageousness and heart with a little bit of humor along the…

I am from being not the runt or the leader, but the middle of a big pack. I am from the long walks and the enjoyable rides at Disney World with my family. I am from the trips to the Golden State and days full of sleep on an airplane. I am from going to the beautiful gardens, culture walks, and watching or riding rides that bring you around the world. I am from the weird times that my family and I have. I am from the happy start of the day by going the yellow bus, finding my friends. I am from…

that as I got older, in seventh and then eighth grade, I was back on top and the music wasn’t nearly as challenging. I noticed this trend again sophomore year in highschool. I was in the higher level symphony orchestra and was at the bottom of the runt. I, once again, immediately noticed my improvement. My physics teacher once shared an analogy with us: Each morning when the zebras wake up they…

with white fluff balls. There were six Samoyeds in total; two of them parents and four of them puppies. The father towered over all of them at three and a half feet on all fours. We were allowed to play with the puppies before we picked one out. The runt of the litter stood out to me the…

No one in this world is picture perfect. I'm certainly far from it but who really is? I have a couple disbeliefs that are always in the back of my mind. Let's begin with, "I'm not good enough." It's a phrase many people deal with because it's so general and can apply to anything in life. When I think about not being good enough I usually tie in school, work, and my relationship with my girlfriend. "I eat too much" makes me feel upset because I know it only adds to my weight. Then I think about…
