Finally, we were here. Leaning out, I stepped out of the car. The heat hit me like a bullet. This was expected because living in Dubai, U.A.E. meant that a person would be bathing in sweat the moment they stepped outside from their shelters.
I could feel my black hair sticking to my head and my loose shirt already clinging to my back. Looking up, I see multiple towering skyscrapers piercing the clouds like a mighty sword. Followed by my family, I grabbed Ash’s hand, my cousin, and raced to see who would the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world, first.
Entering the building, we all sighed in relief as the cold air in the building engulfed us like a cozy blanket. Standing in line to get to the top floor, we all pulled out our ice-cold water bottles and abd quenched our thirst.
“I’m so excited! I can’t wait to go bungee-jumping when we reach there!”, I said, turning around to face Ash.
“Oh! Look who’s talking. The girl who has the biggest fear of heights!”, she replied, raising her eyebrows.
Smirking, I said, “Ha! I’m not scared! Especially because you’ll be doing it with me”.
Hearing that, she lowered her head, avoiding my gaze. Ash has been the only cousin to whom I’ve opened up to. She knew my deepest darkest secrets and I knew hers. She has always been the one to protect me whenever our relatives criticize us. I knew she had my back and would be with me no matter what.
Confused by her actions, I perked my head over to see if
"Yeah, that's fine." I played it off cool even though i was literely freaking out in my mind that we're going to hang out.
The hot sun beamed off Remi's body as sweat ran down her skin like rain drops. Today was the official beginning of fall and the sun has yet to show mercy on any soul living. And to make matters even worse the A/C unit was out of order which meant every one in Lakeview Apartment would have to suffer from the unbaring heat.
"Yeah is it,and the perfect day to acquire my third badge!" ash says walking confidently ahead of them
I took my suit jacket off and hastily shoved it into my backpack. I smiled as the air hit my body and started to dry the sweat that had gathered from wearing the suit jacket for three hours. Looking outside I saw what I expected. The grey lifeless clouds of the English winter hung over us and the almost freezing temperatures,
During freshman year, I would have to say To Kill a Mockingbird was very political. During the time the book was written there was a lit of discrimination. Whether it be sexism, or racism. Harper did a good job of portraying what it actually was like during that time period. She didn’t sugar coat anything, and I really found that helpful to give me a taste of what it really was like back then. A big example of the political standpoint in the book was the Tom Robertson case. In the view of the reader, we knew Tom couldn't have committed the crime with all the loads of evidence. But, it being a time where there was no fair trial, Tom would go to jail simply because a white man said he
“ That felt really good, ya know what? I’m ready for more.” Liz said feeling the most confident she ever felt.
“I really don’t know but I do know that I’m really scared right now.” I said in a shaky voice.
I rolled my eyes and giggled. “This is gonna be quite the adventure then, huh?” I asked cocking an eyebrow at him.
Dying is a natural phenomenon which affects everyone; however, nobody stops to think about it and its implications. If humans truly reflected on what dying meant, it would affect the way they live. Mitch Album, author of Tuesdays with Morrie, was able to study and learn much about life from Morrie Schwartz, his old college professor, who wanted to impart the knowledge he learned as he died to Mitch so he could learn how to live. Morrie believed, “’Once you learn how to die you learn how to live’” (P. 82 M).
I pulled my sweater tighter trying to lock out the cold weather; I should have listened to my mom about this. “Wear your jacket, Farah, It’s going to be a cold one!” Her words echoed in the back of my head like an endless loop; I knew something like this would happen. I started power walking in attempt to get to my warm, cozy bed as fast as I could, almost there.
Corporations across the globe deal in international business practices every day. When a company must to do business in countries with a high level of corruption, a company should have a plan that helps to maintain control over a key piece of intellectual property or some production process component that allows company to maintain power in the relationship.
Wiping the sleepies out of my eyes, I quickly glanced at my alarm clock – 5 am. “Good, I’ve got plenty of time,” I thought to myself. As quietly as possible, which never works when I am trying to, I quickly grabbed a bowl of cereal for breakfast. Checking my list and grabbing my gear I headed out to wait for a taxi in the cool fading morning. I could taste the excitement, or was that the humidity?
Entering the foyer I was hit with a blast of warmth. Grateful to out of the cold I hurriedly walked farther
Raffi reported when his parents were together both parents took care of him. The child stated during those years he cannot remember any nice things he did with his father. He has not had any nice experiences with his father. Raffi reported that his mother allowed his father to be this way. Raffi stated that his mother would try to “cheer him up” and be supportive of him.
Throughout the late afternoon, the temperature of the apartment rose to a staggering heat. Adorned in my hoodie, I feel I 'm sitting in a sauna. What was I thinking when I elected to
