everyone at some point in their life; whether cancer is their cancer or the cancer of a loved one. What happens when the cancer the doctors said was gone comes back only a year later and this time worse than before? For Mary Williams, this just so happened to be her case. Her malignant melanoma is back and this time an unspoken terminal is present in the diagnosis. As a mother of two young girls, eight and eleven years old, Williams is given no choice but to fight. It does help that her team of…

“It’s okay,” Joe said. “I can't imagine not smelling cow shit every morning anyway. It’s soothing.” We started laughing until we were both standing there looking at the other, crying. It was the first time Joe and I had spoken that deeply about being an Albert— what it meant and what it felt like. We crumbled at the same time and sat by the wheelbarrow and wiped at our tears and sweat, the liquids hard to tell apart. I ran my palms over the dry grass in the field like it was water, inviting and…

“Santa.” “What?” “Call me Santa.” “… What do you want from me, Santa?” she repeated. “See those gifts?” He pointed to a table in the corner, stacked with toys and appliances. “Wrap them. I’ll be back with more.” Suddenly the Christmas-y tentacles reached out and dug into Dianna’s pockets, taking her and her boyfriend’s wallets. “What are you doing? Please, that’s all of my boyfriend’s Christmas money!” “I’m sure he’ll be happy to know it was used to for good. Have fun with the elves.” He…

Horowitz says this to Holden because he wants him to realize that the fish naturally survive this way. Even though the ducks are surrounded with ice, they let Mother Nature take its course by waiting it out and knowing they are going to survive. Horowitz goes on to say, “If you was a fish, Mother Nature 's take care of you, wouldn’t she?” Then he says, “You don’t think them fish just die when it gets to be winter, do ya?” . This relates directly to Holden because he is…

Westcliff Wraith Hayden Andrews and her parents pulled up to their new house in Westcliff, California. “Well, this is it!” Hayden’s parents announced to her excitedly. What did they expect when they showed her this? “It looks like it’s 1,000 years old.” Hayden said, unenthusiastically. Hayden always seemed to have this sixth sense on getting good or bad vibes from people or places, and this place gave off major bad vibes. It was kind of weird, but Hayden decided to give it a shot. Her…

one does have a dream, and something seems deceiving about it, do not be fooled, as it could lead to death. Field states, “The Nun’s Priest’s Tale says that even those who do not like his tale can benefit from it.” Field says that everyone who reads this tale can learn the lessons, and the meanings of the story. People can use these lessons in everyday life and can teach someone to be more opened minded about things. Chanticleer also references the Bible: “The Book of Daniel”, as Daniel too had…

I've never seen a grown up pretending to be a 13 years old girl on you-tube before, must be a new low. Oh, I think that is a compliment, how old do I look do you think? Now I'm a little confused, why did you think I was an adult? Was it the fact I challenged you? Communicated in a grown up way perhaps, I would be really interested to know. You answered nothing of what i wrote, you denied that i have even read the bible without knowing me, you don't know my age or background. No, I went down…

When I started this observation 10 weeks ago I was so excited with the time I was going to spend with the 3rd grade class at Lincoln Elementary School. As I am thinking back on the last 10 weeks I can’t believe that it is over. Going to observe was what I looked forward to each week. It was a great experience my cooperating teacher, Ms. Greene did a great job of making sure that I was involved in the classroom while I was there. Ms. Greene had me work with small groups of students on various…

Taking Life Step- By- Step '. For me, this law means that it 's nature 's assurance that I can achieve any goal by breaking it down into smaller, sure steps. It reminds me to not set a goal and follow through with it with the journey 's end in mind because that would be overwhelming. Instead, by breaking down any task into manageable steps, I don 't have to wait for success at the journey 's end, but rather create a series of small successes along the way. This way my goal would be more…

is not shown through her actions, because after they stopped seeing each other she already had “another man” only after a month or so. Jordan has no real emotional attachment to anyone she is with, because she can move on from them within days or weeks. In Mr. Jacqueline Lance fins Miss Baker is a reckless driver, it shows how she is as a person, because she drives recklessly and she is very reckless. Although she is reckless she is a driver without care for anyone else on the road, she would…
