Six Flags

For instance, Joey Meek asserts, "Dylann wasn 't a serious person; no one took him seriously. But if someone had taken him serious, this all would all have been avoided". Roof told his friends that he planned to shoot the church for six months. Initially, he wanted to shoot College of Charleston to have more impact, but it had more security. He chose Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church because it’s the oldest Black church in the U.S. With his birthday money, Roof bought a .45…

Looking back on these last eight years at Rideau, all that I can say is - wow. I’ve had a rollercoaster ride at this school, one that rivals ones at Disneyland and Six Flags with its bumpiness, great speed, and overall fun. I haven’t been without my troubles at this school - everyone has them. But more than anything, we all had a blast learning at this school, and we’ll sorely miss it when we leave for Western. Kindergarten was something else. We all had a whale of a time, meeting new…

to the National Cheerleading Association, “there are six categories in which each team is judged; technique, stability of stunts/strength, choreography/flow of routine, degree of difficulty, perfection of routine, and overall impression. They’re pretty harsh in judging, too. If a stunt moves, or the flyer wobbles a little bit, it’s considered a “bobble”, and results in a .5 deduction from each of the (on average) six judges. If a sign or flag is left on the competition floor after the allotted…

blue and red teams merge. Julie is separated from me in the midst of the collaboration of the teams, but I am confident for I had just acquired one of the red team’s flags. I run as fast is my petite legs will allow me to back to the blue side. I somehow made three successful trips crosswise and back, without having the opposing team’s flag taken away from me. The red team’s score was 17, while my team had 18. Our crew needed two more points in order to win the game, so the competitiveness of…

Photography captures and preserves the significant and insignificant moments in life enabling mankind to broaden its understanding in a world where man regularly interacts with one another thousands of miles across an ocean. Nothing, however, can replicate the unfiltered, first-hand experience one undergoes, yet many forms of art, including photography, are conduits through which man may attempt to share such an experience. Each medium of art, consequently, is subject to the natural biases with…

Within the book Unbroken, by Laura Hillenbrand, focuses on the life of Louie Zamperini. The first six chapters revolve around the upbringing of Louie. It describes him as a very rebellious young man who did not know when to stop. Louie’s life is very different from that of my own not only because of the upbringing that he went through by having a poor family but also in the ways that we both act. While Louie can be described as rebellious and defiant, my own life can be described completely…

Again, the fast food smell, from all the concession stands, wafts through the air. Dozens of Rangers and Knicks flags dangle from the ceiling. Screens around the concourse show the upcoming events. Glass cases filled with pieces of MSG history are scattered about. I take interest in reading the descriptions of the items. Madison Square Garden has been around for 47…

Growing up, Annie’s parents weren’t the richest, in fact they were so poor that after her father died of pneumonia, her mother sent her off to the Darke County Infirmary when she was only nine years old. Years later, she returned home to help support her family, her second stepfather taught her how to shoot a gun so she eventually started hunting game to give to a local grocery store. When…

The Great Seal of the United States of America is a symbol of what our nation was founded on. There is great meaning and symbolism in the design that I have always wanted to learn more about it. On July 4, 1776, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and John Adams were charged to form a committee to design the Great Seal for the newly established United States of America. These were after all three founding fathers, surely they would be able to come up with a seal that would capture the essence…
