Over the summer I did not do much at all. One thing I did do is play a lot of video games and binge watch shows and fixing Skyrim. There was this one game I played called ‘The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt’ for the Playstation 4 (PS4). It had been on my overwhelming list of games I want to play and games I just want to have in my collection. The game itself took a huge chunk out of the money I had saved up for the summer. More the reason to spend time playing it otherwise it would be a waste of sixty…

Theme By Kassie Rain. It's always raining. That's the problem in the story All Summer in a Day by Ray Bradbury. In the setting, Venus, no one ever sees even a glimpse of sunlight. But, finally there is a chance! For the first time in seven years, the rain is going away. Everyone is excited and waiting. Even a frail girl named Margot. Margot is the only kid in her class that knows what the sun looks like. She is the only one that knows what it feels like, what it is like, and her classmates…

All Summer In a Day “She was different and they knew her difference and kept away”... this is what Ray Bradbury writes in his story, All summer in a day. Margot is a girl in this story who wants to be accepted and fit in with the people on venus but she isn't sure how. For example she doesn't defend herself and she doesn't even attempt to try and socialize with the other kids. One reason Margot doesn't fit in and isn't accepted is because *she doesn't defend herself. For example it says in…

Several days before the start of our last year in high school, my neighbor and I divided our time between hunting and surfing to end our summer. I really just wanted to go to the beach, but Johnny refused to give up the precious narrow window of time between the start of deer season and the start of the school year. One day, he came into our house uninvited. He charged into my room with a rifle in his hands to wake me up at five in the morning to sit in the deer stand with him that we had…

“I am not proud of my mistakes but i’m proud that i learned from them which made me a better person today” (Anmol Andore). The summer of Sophomore year things took a fall for me. Before I realized what was going on it was too late. It frustrated me the most that I allowed myself to get to this point because I couldn’t turn things around. Let me tell you, rock bottom is the worst place to be. Throughout my entire life, when things got hard I pushed people away. Usually I could bottle things up…

regular basis. Parallels between the genres that we have covered in class and real life are very prominent. The poetry unit in class shows how life is like poetry in the way that everyone sees and feels things in a different manner. Reading A Mid-Summer Night’s Dream, demonstrates how life is like a play,even if it is misled one, also it shows how life is like a triangle of events in which you have no control over. Also, a parallel that can be made is how life is a struggle and how we are not…

Oliver contrasts the physical wilderness with the innate wild spirit of humans. She blurs the line separating human beings from other animals, challenging the human-held belief that man is above other animals in the social hierarchy.…

Although young Soto is aware he is committing a sin, the savory senses of the pie persuade him to steal the pie. The author’s diction intensifies the moral conflict between Soto and himself, first guiltily, then fearfully. Before stealing the pie, Soto recognizes stealing a pie from the innocent grocery store owner is wrong, but justifies what he…
