During a school dance, Jane “with a light/Grave Leap”, touches the end of a paper ring. Dickey sees this as a farewell to childhood and a new beginning into adulthood. She is well

As I started climbing up the ladder, I kept looking down and seeing my classmates at the bottom. As I reached the start of the log, I could feel my knees shaking and my brain telling me ‘Don’t do it!’ I started walking across the log and I kept thinking that my feet would slip and I would fall to the ground. My heart felt like it was beating a million times a second. I walked nervously, my legs barely holding me up. They were shaking like a vibrating phone. I wanted to just jump off and get to the ground and leave this place. Eventually, I fought through all of the fear and regret that I had and got to the end of the log where the instructor brought me down and said “ let's go to the next

As I jumped into the water, I only had one thing on my mind: saving the victim. As I swam towards her I saw her head slip under. I called for a backboard before I dove beneath the surface to bring her head above the water. I

Eventually as I waited, the boys slowly left blackies and headed back to point Walter. Now was my chance to have my own attempt at the cliff. I knew I would most likely fail but I had to give it a go. I got up from my perch overlooking the scene. The edge of the cliff rose at least 10 meters above the river. The water splashing like a washing machine. I knew from watching the boys that as long as I didn’t land on my back or bellyflop,

I listened and did as he said. I pushed forward and started my way down the steep slide. The force of the water carried me forward at a fast speed and I was thrown down the slide. I opened my eyes and saw that I was no longer touching the slide, but flying above it. The wave of water had thrown me so fast that I was in the air over the slide. I closed my eyes in fear and I hit the slide with a bang! I slid right into the pool with a big SPLASH. Half a second later I was submerged in the blue liquid terrified, wondering if I was hurt. I sank to the bottom, then shot up off of the ground with my feet pushing towards the air above. I wasn't the best swimmer, but I made my best effort to swim to the side of the pool and to safety, I looked around for my Mom, as I looked around I noticed the lifeguard watching me just in case. I made it to the side and pulled myself out of the pool. My mom asked me if I was okay. I told her I was fine and we continued through the day and eventually

The twenties showed a lot of economic promise and progressive ideals, but many problems and social divides still plagued the nation. Coming out of World War I, the United States underwent a lot of change culturally, technologically, and economically. Although many good things such as electricity, film with sound, and jazz came out of this time, the impact of WWI and media had several powerfully negative outcomes that sustained through the 1920’s. Looking at the Jumpin’ Jive video, one should not assume that all was well in America.

I'm going to pirates cove for an hour of my time i’m super excited I can’t wait to go there because I haven’t gone in a while,after a few minutes of driving were finally here my dad,mom,and brother. When I got inside in pirates cove I went to the diving board I was surprised how much people were waiting to use the diving board so instead I went to hang out by the pool for a few minutes.

To perform the jump shot make sure that your foot is flat on the floor, with your body facing the basket. A low crouch will give you enough momentum to make the jump shot. Also make sure that both of your hands are on the ball, rise up with your foot and prepare to shoot. The hand that you shoot with should cup the ball and point towards the basket. And your other hand that you don’t shoot with can gently guide the shot from the side of the ball. Make that your body is straight not bent as the shot will not be accurate and it will be an air ball. Extend your arms fully; your fingers should end up looking at the floor as you will flick the ball.

The soaring sandstone cliffs never cease to amaze me. They offer a freedom from everyday life. After being cooped up in a classroom all of January and February, I needed a break. Going to the slot canyons to the east of Zion was the perfect way to start that break. Spring break. Today my uncle Wade, older brother Tyler, and cousin Silver were going to climb cougars cliff, which is near Snow Canyon. This was the third time that I had ever gone rock climbing, so it seems reasonable to attempt the daunting 135 foot cliff. I climbed into a harness. Wade tied a double fisherman’s knot, and then the four of us approached the wall.

A clearing comes to view ahead of us, and we stop. A huge, giant waterfall is directly in front of me. The water is clean and blue, and the sight is mesmerizing. At the base, a stream flows by slowly. Our tour guide explains to us that this water is the purest on the entire island. I can see tiny orange, brown, and pink fish swimming around in the water. We are allowed to walk in and swim in the water. The sand and pebbles feel nice in between my toes, and the clean water feels soft and cool against my skin. On one side of the stream there is a rock ledge that we can jump off of. This is right next to the waterfall, and was probably six feet high. I cogitate whether I should jump or not, but decide to do it. Once I climb up there and look down, I feel as if I can do anything. When I jump, it feels like time had stopped, and as soon as I hit the water, a cool splash of amazement runs through my body. This incredible feeling is one I will never

The way his legs hung down toward the water was the epitome of how he was feeling in that moment. A microsecond from falling, every part of his body pulsing with fear and adrenaline. Knowing he would die if he didn’t pull himself up onto the rock, he considered the risks he would have to make. His only foible was the weakness in his arms, notwithstanding a day of nonstop climbing.

It was on an unplanned July day that my two best friends, Fiona and Matthew had decided to take me skydiving for the first time. As I stepped onto the plane, Fiona gave me a smile. I was then left to myself. I felt droplets of sweat drip down the side of my face, but I disregarded it, in hopes that it was due to the density of the suit, unsuited for a hot summer day such as this. When I walked to my seat and tried to settle myself, however, I realized the main problem wasn't the suit. Soon, the engine roared, giving life to the airplane, and the ground started fleeing. From the side windows I could see the outside landscape moving faster and faster, and finally, disappearing. Butterflies started fluttering in my stomach, giving me a sense of nervousness different from anything I've ever experienced before. I realized then that this experience was more than a daring step into the uncharted...

My mother and I shared a double tube and we set of down the canal. As we floated down, there were trees and plants on either side of us whose branches formed a cover around us. As we approached the end of the shade, I saw the huge cliffs on either side of us approaching and remembered the cliff jump. My heart picked up its pace automatically and I turned around to ask my mother if this was the part with the cliff jump. The answer was of course a yes. As we approached the terrifying cliff, I decided that I would do it. It was a rare opportunity if y six year old sister jumped from a forty foot cliff and I didn’t. As I waited in line, I thought of the worst possibilities that could happen in result of my jumping. I was fourth in line. What if I belly flop? Third in line. What if I hit the wall? Second in line. I am definitely going to break at least one bone on the ocean floor. My turn. The lifeguard counted me down and I jumped. I flew off the cliff and screamed. I absolutely loved it and went two more times and an additional three times on the next cliff down the canal. I was so proud of me and my family! Everyone in our group tried the jump, except for my grandmother who claimed she was too

It was my friend Jenna’s twelfth birthday. We were in her big backyard bouncing around on the trampoline. It was hot from the blazing summer sun shining down. Jenna did a butt bomb on the trampoline and her legs flew out from under her as she rose up into the air. Her smile was wide as she came falling back down. Once she landed, Jenna shouted, “Do your coolest trick.” I pushed and bounced off into the air. I pulled my long legs and arms into myself as I went for the flip.
