WOW! We are finally here, look at that cool sign. Today, we are at Durhamtown ATV Resort and we are looking for our cabin. Oh, there it is!

In the essay “Reading and Writing about a Bicycle,” Jonathan Hunt explains the bicycle subculture, known as the “fixie”. Hunt gives the details about this sub-culture of bicycle enthusiast, including the visual appearance of both the riders and the bikes. The riders take on the appearance of a professional road racer, along with that of skinny and scruffy kids. While the bicycles themselves can be brightly colored and adorned with corporate names and logos, or old, scratched and chipped. While the appearance of these fixies vary drastically, they all maintain two values that are constant.

“Yeah, but it is the most important part. Get back to work.” I retorted. I opened my terminal application and and applied a secondary security measure to the backup battery. This should hold them out for a few minutes. Now, I should wait until offense shuts down their electrical grid. All of a sudden, my computer monitor shut off. A few seconds later, the lights went out for a second time. The backup battery failed. There was a sense of panic in the room. Everything froze and became quiet for a golden three seconds. Then, chaos started. People started to run for the door. Explosions. Twenty people lie on the floor. I spotted an opening in the rubble about one foot in diameter. It’s a little small, but it will have to do. It’s now or never I thought. “Come on Andre, let’s go,” I exclaimed. No response. I looked back at the desk right next to mine. The one desk that has always been next to my desk. The picture of two elderly figures on the top right of the desk. A rubber band ball with a radius of about three inches. A computer monitor littered with sticky notes; all different colors. A cup of fifty paper clips on the far

In analyzing The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer I discovered satirical stories such as “The Pardoner’s Tale” which mock church practices and religion. The Canterbury Tales is a frame story that exemplifies the theme: “looks can be deceiving.” In, “The Pardoner’s Tale,” a religious pardoner brags about various ways he deceives others into paying him money. The pardoner offers relics in exchange for high prices, advertising that these relics will free people from their sins. When telling his story to the group and when giving sermons, he ironically uses the theme,“money is the root of all evil”. He admits to the group that the relics are fraudulent and he preaches solely for the purpose of gaining riches. Although the pardoner is admittedly a sinful man, he swears he can tell a good moral story to the group. He tells a story of the

Imagine being sentenced to death by your government; the institution that is supposed to protect your rights, and then waiting years for the killing blow to land. Imagine the constant fear and anxiety you would endure; nobody deserves that torment. The death penalty is still legal in many parts of America and dozens of people are killed every year. In Canada, the death penalty has been abolished since 1976 and there is little support for reinstatement. This is not the case in America, while many states have stopped using capital punishment there are still thirty-one that continue to follow the practice. These states claim that it is cheaper than imprisoning someone for life, that it acts as a deterrent, and is a just punishment for atrocious

Learning something new every day seems extremely boring to high school students. But, looking back to when we were younger, it was very exciting for some of us. One of the roughest things I had to learn was riding a bike. I was excited to learn how to ride a bike without training wheels, so I could be like my brother and father. The thing I didn’t know is that I would be a confident and adventurous person. I learned that doing what your parents says is the safest way to doing anything.

I have come to love bicycles in the course of the past year. I am especially fond of mountain bikes, including my own. Riding it opens up a whole new world of opportunities and challenges for me. I am still fairly fresh to the whole mountain biking scene, so I push myself to become better with more experience. Riding is an outlet; it is something I can channel pent up energy through. I love the sport because it is a full body, soul, and mind experience that affects all five of the senses.
