The Big Green Egg

It was a brisk.. and breezy evening struck by twilight's magic in the evergreen forest of Kysland; the country of the enchanted forests of this strange... yet intimidating world. The twilight's moon glistened like a pearl in the sky's violet atmosphere. The shimmering and glistering stars looked like still snowflakes when a few dropped around Keira's feet. She smiled with a look of bliss, alone to herself as the other children hopped and played without a care in the world.. A moment they should…

warming and welcoming. This made me feel at ease and not so upset about being in the very front. His scenes were very clever. I really enjoyed the Dr. Seuss scene because he made the story into something that related to the topic. In his version of Green, Eggs, & Ham a white person told Sam he does not say the N word and that he would not say it anywhere. Then Sam convinces him to use it. He uses it and then he says he loves the N word and that he would say it any day in any place. At the end…

Growing up as a child I have encountered numerous people who have made a significant impact in my educational life. I absolutely hated to read. When I started elementary school I struggled to read books. My kindergarten teachers Mrs. Stover and Mr. Brown would always send me home with reading assignments. I remember the long dreadful nights struggling to read a different Dr. Seuss book every night. My mother is the one who taught me how to read. If it was not for her long hours of dedication to…

“Cow’s milk, egg and soy allergies typically begin in childhood and eventually may be outgrown. In the past, most children outgrew these allergies by school age. A recent study, conducted by researchers at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, indicated that children are taking longer to outgrow milk and egg allergies. Fortunately, the majority are allergy-free by age 16” (Facts and Statistics). Why is our…

wall clocks, and big magnifying glasses. The eye doctor has not given me any medicine for this, he says that it is not really necessary and it cannot be cured. I do wear prescription glasses all of the time to help with my vision. I try the best I can to live a normal healthy life though. I believe that diet and exercise is key to good health. I remember when we were kids, we could not afford very much due to the economic crisis. So, my diet has always consisted of spinach and greens that we…

The lack of reading to the Rodriguez house was the very opposite of mine. When I was young there was a book with me wherever I went. Reading was a big…

Interviewing a person from another culture can bring you closer together in my opinion. The person I interviewed was a young woman named Shewit.

Shewit’s family generation goes as far back as her grandparents, this makes her and her sisters the first born into the United States in her family. She told me that was something unique about herself. When it…
