"Attention class, your final grade is to do an oral presentation about a significant person in history. It's due tomorrow!!" Forgetting about it, I fall asleep, waking up the next morning in panic. "I gotta come up with an outline today before class." As I walked to my history class at The University of Texas, a man in a black trench coat was following me. I noticed this a while back, but thought it was just a coincidence and he would eventually turn elsewhere. But then I noticed where I would turn, he would too, losing hope that this was a coincidence. Strangely, I could hear the man running and he bumped into me. Appalled, I looked down to see that he dropped a silver ticket that gleamed into my eyes. Compellingly, I picked up this …show more content…
Coming to realization that nothing worked, I took a look around to find out where I was. I saw big city lights and billboard signs everywhere. I then noticed the construction of the empire state building. I was in Harlem, New York in the 1920's liked I wished for!! I couldn't believe that the ticket actually worked. Walking around, I saw a huge crowd around this building. I looked up and saw that the building was the one and only Cotton Club. Walking in, I stared in awe on how everything looked so beautiful. Suddenly, I was bumped by a man. This man was wearing the exact same outfit like the man at the University of Texas, but this time I didn't let him get away. I tapped him on his shoulder and long and behold it was Duke Ellington. He turned to me and looked disgusted. "What chu got on boy! That ain't the style round here!" Ashamed, I looked down and noticed that I still had on modern clothes. "Let me take you to the back and give you some real clothes." As we walked to the back, I see many people dancing like the floor was on fire. The trumpets and the saxophones were blazing as loud as a gun shot. Once we arrived to the back, Duke told me: "Pick whatever you like. I got to go up on stage and play this piano. I'm late!!" Trying to blend in, I wore a black top hat with a black suit. Leaving my modern clothes behind. Once I entered the dance floor, Duke Enllington said; " I met a very strange young man I would like yawl to meet."
Southern Cross University offers the Preparing for Success Program (PSP) to mature age students who do not meet the direct entry requirements but desire to undertake tertiary study. The PSP is designed specifically to equip students with the vital skills and learning strategies which are imperative for success at university. The core skills and learning strategies that are implemented include the roles and responsibilities involved in collaborative learning, the processes for achieving goals, time management skills and the ability to paraphrase effectively which are fundamental for university education. The aforementioned skills and learning strategies are evidently effective with students, however, can also present limitations. Hence,
I have witnessed traumatizing events, dying men, being shot, and I went behind enemy lines 11 separate times, all for my beloved country, yet I’m branded AWOL and equated to a coward! I served the Union Army valiantly and gave it my all for 4 entire years. My hard work and dedication were immense, I took on various jobs throughout the four years. Furthermore, I served as a nurse to aid all the wounded, I was a skilled courier and a spy. I love my country for giving me refuge when times were tough, thus, I was willing to give the ultimate sacrifice to preserve it. Countless times, I was nearly killed, but I did not care because I yearned for danger and a way to contribute during the war. I, Franklin Thompson, believe I should be reinstated
Urinary tract infection is one of the most common infections diagnosed among women in the world. There has been increasing concern for alternative method to treat urinary tract infection over antibiotics since misuse of antibiotics can led to bacterial resistance(Scholes et al., 2004). This essay will establish PICO (population, intervention, comparison and outcome) question in the given scenario where a 22 year old Susan visits the GP with symptoms of urinary frequency, dysuria, lower back pain and shivering. She was diagnosed with Urinary tract infection (hereby referred as UTI) and antibiotics were prescribed. However after developing thrush due to antibiotics for urinary tract infection previously, she
The first time I saw this practice being used was at a coaches’ development day at a Category 1 academy. The reasoning behind the different placing of the players given was that “It was something different, and a different learning experience for the players”, whilst I agree with the statement, I feel that if we really look at the practice in detail there is so much more we can take from it, rather than just a different placing of the players.
Y/N: "You're joking, right? I didn't work my ass off to be a babysitter Shae!" I said looking down at the folder in my hands that she just handed me. Reading and skimming through the information not really paying attention.

While switching to a thick, Italian accent, he pinches his fingertips together on one hand, shaking them with every syllable, making me giggle. “What do you mean? Eh? I'm Italian through and through.” The mischievous grin I've grown to adore slinks along his lips as his eyes sparkle.
Throughout history many races and cultures have been discriminated against for various reasons and there have been many different methods used to discriminate against them. To focus on one race in particular the African American race was discriminated for a long period and was discriminated in various ways throughout this time.

George bends over and looks down his wooden pool cue. He pulls the cue back and forth aiming at the center of the cue ball, with a perfect triangle of marble pool balls behind it. He pulls the cue back further, leans on his back foot and pushes the white cue ball as hard as he cam into the balls. The balls ricochet with a crisp crack, they meaninglessly bounce around the table without purpose.
The year is 1953 and the war between the U.S and Canada is still ongoing. An airplane was flying over the Pacific Ocean on a late afternoon with ten passengers, eight were boys and the other two being the men who were flying the plane. Ahead of them was a medium-sized island thriving with trees and crabs, but there were also pigs on the island. The boys on the plane were aspiring to go to Australia to escape the war. While they were about a mile away from the island, something shot at the plane, causing both of the engines to rupture into flames. After twenty minutes, the plane had crashed into the island, creating a long scar on the left side of the island. The only surviving people were the eight boys who were petrified by the incident.
The year is 1940 and war has come to Great Britain, what the Nazis had started when they invaded Poland has now spread across Europe from Belgium to France and now the skies are filled with fire that rains down upon us. Everybody in Great Britain knew that the war would be on its way to Britain once France fell to the Nazis, only a strip of water was between us and the nightmare of the German Blitzkrieg. It was in June in 1940 that enemy planes started dropping bombs on our airports, and this continued all throughout the summer, but it wasn’t until September that they started falling on the city of London. This caused the city of London to change so quickly it felt like overnight, people were required to carry gas masks at all time in
Once upon a time, there was a wealthy young woman. She loved to shop and enjoyed using her dad's money on the most lavish, opulent brands. Her name was Dora, named after the cartoon in which one can learn Spanish. As a child, she loved animals and the company they provided. Dora walked for hours all over the city of New York to find the animal that she needed to be complete... She went home everyday sad unable to find the pet of her dreams. Sometime later, she saw a store named, “Laden's Pet Palace.” The second she walked in the scent of fresh a bleach-filled her nostrils. The scent froze her at the door.
I swiftly sauntered in to the makeup parlor and greeted Fromage Verde. He was a French makeup artist and was at the acme of his career as he transformed young spies to suit their mission. I flashed a half-heartened smile before I sat in the comfy black chair as one of his assistants draped me in a black apron. My natural ombre hair fell to my low back but it was usually pulled up into a trendy ponytail. As Fromage got to work he cut my hair to my shoulders and I cringed as I saw my hair fall to the floor. He straightened my hair and dyed it a dirty blonde hair style.
As a malevolent demon of bad luck, P’lst feels as though she should ignore the little feather on a string in favor of witnessing the results of her hard work. It twitches in the corner of her vision, mocking her, and she is sorely tempted to pounce on it to ensure it understands her superiority. She must ignore it. Thankfully, the feather slides off the dining room table and out of her line of sight, leaving her alone to concentrate on her future victory. The cat continues to observe the landscape outside the window from the safety of the dining room table. She glances across towards the clock on the microwave in the conjoined kitchen.
