“No reason to stop you, Stealer Girl,” said Asa, using her baseball nickname from primary school. The last fingers of light glowed from the sunset, fading into a deep cobalt blue. Asa stretched luxuriously. “May I interest you in a hot fudge sundae?” “I’d love one, but I believe the drug store is closed.” “I happen to have a set of keys.” She giggled. “In that case, I would love a sundae.” They walked arm and arm down the dock, but when they got to shore, Nell said, “Oh, Asa, we forgot your blanket.” Using a strong, powerful gait, he strode down to the end of the dock. With some amusement, she studied him as he walked back toward her, wondering how Asa never looked like he belonged in his clothes. The starched shirt under his jacket strained against his massive chest and looked wilted in the humidity. He wore his boater hat to reign in his unruly hair, but now it was askew as he trotted back to her. “What’s so funny?” asked Asa, catching her smile. “I was just thinking that you look like your wearing your cousin’s clothes. You never look like you want to be in a suit and you can’t understand how you got in it.” Asa looked down at his grey and black striped seersucker suit, now wrinkled and twisted from his long day. “You don’t want to look too good around here during the week. People wouldn’t trust you.” “Hmm. Hadn’t thought of that,” replied Nell. But she turned her head so he wouldn’t see her chuckle. The walkway glistened with moisture, and the couple dodged…
Eminem. The song is mainly about his struggles as a child to be happy and succeed. He was not a very popular kid, so he didn’t have very many friends, and at the same time he was bullied. All of these factors made his childhood a complete and utter “Hell” for him. But as the song progresses he gets older, and grows more confidence. Overall this song is a great representation of what Eminem had to go through his entire life; overcoming adversities, dealing with bullies, and coming to terms with…
Do you remember Dexter’s Laboratory? Do you remember the Nintendo N64? Powerpuff Girls? Dragonball Z? Well then, you must have been born in the early 90s, because only 90s kids remember the 90s, right? If you had taken a look around the room just now, you would have noticed that when I made that ludicrous statement, no one was shocked. Why is that? It is because we have heard the same statement made more times than we can remember. You’ve heard that only 90s kids remember the 90s everywhere. On…
If you think back to all the songs you heard three years ago in 2014, it’s of high chance that you think of the song “Radioactive”. This extremely popular song was sung by the famous rock band Imagine Dragons, and composed with the help of Alex Da Kid. When this track released, critics were praising every note and lyric. This number was introduced through many commercials and trailers, which was part of the reason it was a “sleeper hit”- a song that makes a gradual rise to popularity.…
When lunch time came around and everyone cleaned out of the room I kept my butt in my seat and kept at it with my art work.

meaning keep stretching us thin and turn each other on one another. They are looking for America to collapse. The citizens of the United States need our government to do anything necessary to keep our population safe. One thing the government is in fact in charge of would be making sure the United States citizens are safe through any mean of punishment. Human rights activists believe this is not the case and there should be no reason for using harsh interrogation techniques. Guantanamo Bay is…
“Should national security override free speech?” Freedom of speech was first established in the First Amendment of the United States Constitution in 1791, and almost two centuries later, in the International Declaration of Human Rights, the UN recognised freedom of speech as a human right (reference). The question of whether or not national security should override the freedom of speech has been, and continues to be a controversial subject, particularly among governments and law-abiding…

Two planes crashed into the Twin Towers, destroying the towers within hours. A second plane also crashed into the Pentagon. A final plane was thought to…
Al Capone Al Capone was a crime boss and his success flourished in the 1920s. He owned towns, and almost owned the nation. Throughout the years, he has been a subject of many art forms such as movies and books. Even though he was responsible for many violent murders, Capone was still a celebrity during the 1920s. Capone caused the people that knew him to shrink in fear, while still making America awe at him. When Prohibition was put into place, people like Capone stepped in and took…
