Addison: A Short Story

She talked about how studying night after night was very stressful for her. I have also stressed about school work on many occasions, making me know the feeling very well. We both had to work hard to keep up or try to get ahead. “ I did not sleep during those years”(223.) I was tired and stressed out like her, even with the education we both already knew. After some time I realized I needed some help. Jordan’s help was a small study group that her roommate formed. My help was also a study group and a tutor that made me feel just about how she felt. I feel like if she had a tutor she could have felt the education earlier like how I did. “ Finally, I felt I was really learning things, really going to school.”(223.) Having that group and tutor made me feel just about how Jordan felt, not stressed anymore because we finally understood what was going on and being said. We both can reach out and defend ourselves with our own

The streetlights reflected red on our silhouette-looking faces and flooded the 11:37PM sky. His much-too-nice truck hummed over the cracked foundation of the road, luckily distracting his oceanic eyes from the prominent goosebumps on my forearms. Ashes flew and faded onto my black, cotton hoodie from the cancer hanging from his chapped lips. Chapped lips that curled into a grin when I sat inches away from his blonde hair brushing against my cheek. I convinced myself that he was finding other focus points like the illuminated radio screen or the coffee cups shaking in their holders or the seatbelt light blinking on his dashboard, yet my eyes remained fixed on those chapped lips. Although, it was dark. We only ever made eye contact

What made human surpass other species? Thinking insightfully, the accumulation of knowledge and technique is the most important key to human’s evolution. And college is one of the important places where to accumulate most of the world’s knowledge. Therefore, it needs to evaluate a college system rightfully. Through researching about US college system, I find out two interesting articles. One is “Are Colleges Worth the Price of Admission” by Andrew Hacker and Claudia Dreifus arguing that the US college program should be improved. In contrast, the other, “Two years better than four” by Liz Addison, supported that the two-year colleges in the US are one of the best education programs in the world. I am more convinced with Hacker and Dreifus’

Merely saying that she overcame bullying and anxiety by a yearning for the future is a false dichotomy. She also persevered by means of her own fortitude, and from this she learned “how to be kind” and “to treat other people”.

Dorothy Allison's voice is one of authenticity, experience, and wisdom. This is apparent in her recounts of her mother's death and rape by her abusive stepfather as a child. She uses her storytelling as a way of sorting out her inner demons and memories of her broken life, “the [story] I wish I could make you hear,” as she says, because “the need to tell [her] story was terrible and persistent, and [she] needed to say it bluntly and cruelly, to use all those words, those old awful tearing words” (39, 42). She strives to get to the root of her own unresolved issues and, by her own admission, “[works] to make you believe [her]”:

The haunted science lab was more than just a nickname, Addison, and Jack will know this soon. Addison and Jack are twins, they are only 2 minutes apart, Jack constantly reminds Addison of this. They both live in a townhouse with their father, Jeff, in the small town of Brackney Pennsylvania. Jeff is a great single father to the twins after their mother died, he has spoiled them rotten. He is a scientist, and works in a Science lab of the small town. The twins go to Brackney middle school, and they each love it there, Addison is a cheerleader, and Jack is a basketball player, in this case, both get good grades.

Hi Addison, You are right privacy is important and with all the protest Apple users have done is evidence on just how important it is. I haven't seemed any polls, yet about Facebook and Twitter users supporting Apple in its decision. I think that's very interesting if that's true. Apple in a sense is trying to protect millions from hacking etc. But when it comes to the safety of people and lives are at stake you should give in a little.

First, I wake up, and then I go brush my teeth. Second, I straighten my hair, and then I go do my makeup. Third, I get to school, and then we meet in the cafeteria.

Me and my one year older friend strutted to the laundry room while everyone else waited for their turn to take a picture in the plastic hawaiian frame. We noticed that we had to share one little oval with our two tan arms. I was a little upset that I had to be the boy but I realized it was hilarious so I was fine with it. I kept singing hula-hula and it was cracking Alli up. My ready to host a party mom suddenly said 1... 2...3... click click! The photo was taken and 2 more waiting friends went up to take a picture.

Luke listened, dumbfounded to Rosalie's dismissal of everything he had just said. She hadn't listened to him at all. It was almost like she was intentionally ignoring or distorting every point he made. What she lacked in logical follow through, she made up for, partially, in rhetorical skill. No matter how wrongheaded her conclusions were, she delivered them convincingly.

You're going to have to let me know about the gender when that time comes. It'll be interesting to see if your gut is right. If you are right i'll have to send you some solid armor for you to wear when puberty hits...you can thank me later.

Amid the repetitive grind of metal-on-metal motion playing out beneath her feet, Lana Stevens, along with the other two-hundred-fifty passengers, arrived in the town of Shadow Falls on Thursday, October 29, 2015. The sun shined bright that early morning, as the passenger train pulled into the station, gradually coming to a stop alongside the newly constructed concrete platform.
