The Wall Tour

I woke up with a pounding head. I tried to move my hands, to find out that they were tied behind my back. The same with my legs. My wrists were rubbed raw by the ropes that bound them, and I felt weak due to lack of sunlight. I checked my surroundings. I was tied to a wooden pole in the center of a dark tent, the only light was from a lantern, and based on how I was feeling, only sunlight helped me. As if on cue, a big burly man opened up the tent flap and walked in. The light that shined…

Lorenzo pulled on his striped shirt and ridiculous hat. Being a gondolier was not exactly what he had planned on doing with his life, but he needed the money. If it was not for how well he was being paid he would not be rowing starry eyed tourists down the canals. Jobs like Lorenzo’s are not the only benefits to tourism.

"Golf is not a sport -- it's an artistic exercise like ballet. You can be a fat slob and still play golf." Because we agree with this statement by John McEnroe, who is a former professional tennis player, my partner and I reject the resolution: Golf is a sport. We offer the following reasons to support our side. My first reason is that golfers are not athletes. In contrast to a real sport, golf is not a rigorous physical activity. Burning just 360 calories per hour playing golf without the…

“Winter Dreams” is an excellent short story. The setting and tone of “Winter Dreams” draw the reader into the story wonderfully. The story “Winter Dreams” takes place mainly in Black Bear, Minnesota, sometime before World War I. The town sounds, to the reader, idyllic and peaceful. The setting is romantic. The tone is romantic, as well. The events of the story take on dream-like qualities because of the way the narrator describes them. “Winter Dreams” does an excellent job describing the…
