Summer

To begin with, I will be comparing how driving in the summer and driving in the winter are different and how they are also alike. There are different skills that are needed for driving in the summer versus driving in the winter. To start, driving in the winter can be more difficult to drive through and that is because of the weather conditions. In winter, the weather is always changing,it could be rain, snow, sleet, hail, and all four of them can be very difficult to drive through because it…

romantic relationships can act as a catalyst for individuals to mature in regards to their behaviour in relationships and in their understanding of themselves. Two texts which explore this concept are Overcoming Love addiction (article) and 500 days of Summer (Film). The texts utilise their plot lines and a variety of stylistic techniques to demonstrate the validity of the statement. Overcoming love addiction: one apple martini at a time (New York Times, 2015) by Peter De Marco details his…

Earlier this month, I was searching the web for a science camp/program for this summer. After turning over what seemed like every stone, I could not find a program that was both hands-on and a reasonable price. However, a few Google searches later, and I came across this great program offered by Jefferson. When I read the program description to my parents; they were in shock at what I could potentially be doing this summer. But how did I get interested in this program in the first place? The…

Getting a summer job is a way to get some cash if you’re your still your still young but it's not so easy. During this past summer I was on the hunt for a job, little did I know what I would find would change me forever. My Buddy Eric brought me to his job one day just to help, I didn’t think I would be coming back after that day but of course I did. Everything was alright because hard work pays off. My very first day on the farm wasn’t fun, I started out by wearing a muscle shirt, so I got a…

In life, everyone makes mistakes, it’s just that some mistakes are bigger than others. Everyone has had this feeling at least one time in their life and in the story “All Summer in a Day” by Ray Bradbury and the song “Apologize” by Timbaland, this feeling is the central idea of their piece. In “All Summer in a Day,” the children in the story dispirit a girl named Margot because they feel she is different than them and the kids end up devastating Margot. In the song “Apologize,” a character has…

The Prognosis of Alice: Defining the Deficiencies of Pharmacological Treatments for Depressive Disorders Throughout the graphic novel, This One Summer, an underlying theme exists as a result of the interactions Rose has with her mother, Alice. Despite not being as pervasive in the beginning of the story, the onset of a potential depressive disorder gradually becomes apparent as the story shifts focus from Rose and her relationship with her friend, Windy, to a more obvious focus on the health of…

The Great American eclipse and the appearance of the sun in “All Summer in a Day” were both alike in many ways. The two events were greatly anticipated rarities. In the movie, Margot was very enthusiastic for the visit of the sun as were many people about the eclipse. The reason both events were anticipated was due to the fact that both events had not happened in many years. Both of the audiences prepared for such rarities but in different ways. The children in the movie put on visors and…

post, I mentioned that I have summer homework that I have to do everyday. As I said in my last post, this is not necessary for all people to be successful, but I just feel like it helps my confidence the next year at school. In addition to doing summer homework, my mom also makes it a requirement for our summer. Of course, there are exceptions to doing the homework Like, I had a sleepover the night before and my friend ended up staying all day, or I have an intense summer camp that week. So,…

The experience of tension can cause not only mental distress but physical changes such as dilated pupils and altered blood sugar levels. To successfully inflict these and other effects on the reader, both Ray Bradbury, author of “All Summer in a Day”, and Fredric Brown, author of “Sentry”, build suspense in various ways. There are many different forms of suspense that are effective when creating tension in separate instances of a story. Suspense varies depending on the pace of the story,…

Intro School had started and I had a lot to tell my friends that I hadn’t seen all summer. This was the summer right before I went into highschool. So to some people this is a big summer. Although, to me it was just another summer. The summer of 2015 was a very wild summer. That summer more things happened than what was expected. There were many new friends that were made and there were many that were lost. There where many people who lost real things and many who lost things that they didn't…
