from the faucet, I began to get lightheaded and the room began to spin. Instinctively, I fell to the floor and closed my eyes. Seconds, maybe minutes later I regained a clear head but now there was another problem. There was a stabbing pain in my stomach like nothing I had ever felt before. Time passed slowly, I waited on the bathroom floor until I heard early morning murmurings from the other girls. Soon enough, I heard a knock on the door and a curious voice saying, “Marisa, are you alright?”…

belly. Ah, heavens, she thought, is it possible that my poor children whom he has swallowed down for his supper, can be still alive? Then the kid had to run home and fetch scissors, and a needle and thread and the goat cut open the monster's stomach, and hardly had she make one cut, than one little kid thrust its head out, and when she cut farther, all six sprang out one after another, and were all still alive, and had suffered no injury whatever, for in his greediness the monster had…

In that moment, I first realized there it was 4400 pounds of pere meanness. A BMW M6 gran coupe A. Pulling into the shop for a tune up. As my brother prepared the tools I opened the hood, i felt this mat back pante under my skin with a burnt rubber and oil smell. There infront of me stude the heart of a beasted, 565 of pure raw horsepower. Thrilled to be working on such a piece of artwork I began to disassemble the intake system. Nothing captivates my attention more than a well builded mean…

Chyme (pulpy acidic fluid) from the stomach enters the duodenum which then mixes with digestive secretions from the pancreas, liver, and gallbladder (Sadava, D et…

Why speaking up in class can be frightening? My friend Cynthia is a shy person and doesn’t like to participate in none of her classes because she gets intimidated when everyone is staring at her. For me, we connect with each other very well because we're both shy but we made a promise that we can at least participate or ask a question in almost every class. Speaking up in class can be frightening because people become shy. A great deal of people aren’t brave enough to speak in front of a big…
