I Am An Exciting Day

There is a place where not far from my hometown, which, since my childhood, still holds the secrets to life. It was a place where we were free. Free to do whatever we wanted to do, say whatever we wanted to say, it was our place, our river. It was a simple place, no paved or asphalt roads for the commotion of busy traffic, no tall buildings to block out the sunlight, no sense of time to feel rushed or anxious, no effects from the outside world. It was a beach on the coast of Lake Sakakawea called “Little Egypt.”

Sara's father wanted to control everybody else's lives, in his family, but he did not want anyone telling him how to do things. He felt that he should be able to control the family spendings even though he did not earn a penny. He went against his wife's request and used every penny of their savings to buy the store. His wife asked him, "Promise me that you won't pay out the money till I come to see what you buy." (113). He went ahead and bought the store without letting his wife come down to see it first like he had promised her. He made a huge mistake then, just as he had with his daughters. He did not pick a good husband for any of his daughters. He was fooled not only by the store owner but also by the daughters' husbands. The reason he made all these mistakes is because he would not listen to anyone's advice. If he had listened to his wife, he would not have bought the store because she would have been with him, and she would have noticed something was wrong because she was already suspicious. She says, "Does he really ask only four hundred dollars for all this?...Ask him to give you a pencil to count up all the goods there is in stock." (114). She has more sense about business then he does, but he gets to be in control of all their money. Today, women have more of a say in what goes on with the financial part of the family as well as with who they are going to

Do peace, unity, and equality still exist this day in time among groups of people? Are we influenced by our environment to associate our way of seeing things and create language based on that fact? How we view the environment around us helps shape our understanding by creating language to give it meaning. Based on the linguistic data of the recently discovered tribe, we can draw conclusions about the tribe’s climate and terrain, diet, views on family and children, system of government and attitude towards war. This data shows that the lost tribe was an isolated group that lived in a valley, coexisted in unison, valued life, had high regards for

What town act you live in? How does it look smells like, and sounds like? Do you feel comfortable in that particular city? Today, I'm going to tell you a lot of things about this village.

This unfortunate bear was forced to dance for the audience for one cruel man’s personal profit. It hadn’t been fed properly for days; Catherine could tell, for it was quite scrawny. Since it was not making enough money, the owner decided to feed it to a pack of angry dogs! Today, several would have attempted to stop this terrible event. But back then, this was very entertaining. No one was there to rescue the bear. Luckily, Catherine, not only had a passion for animals, but also had personal experience of how it felt to be in a situation in which you are being tossed around for profit, nothing in your control. She was willing to go beyond the limits to be the star of the day. As a result, she gave away Shaggy Beard’s silver to buy the bear and set it free! Now, Catherine was, against her dreams, betrothed to Shaggy Beard, a revolting suitor. She had made an enormous sacrifice for the bear. As you can see, Catherine definitely changed because she had courage and she noticed others were in the same desperate situation she was

The year is 1493 in our beautiful natural land. I’m Catoi, daughter of the chief

A group of around a hundred man would travel the treacherous seas to find a land abundant in wealth, little did they know that the

Logan, Alison and Ava are sitting at the table. The children were pretending that they are the owner of a grocery store. They used the pretend money to buy or to sell products. In the grocery store there are many different kinds of products on the table. For example, "Food", "Hats", "Books", "Drinks". Each product has a label with the name and its price.

Alison looks at the price tag and point at it, she says ”It is $3.” Ava takes out a paper bill. She says ”Okay, Here is $5.” Then, Alison looks at her hand and says, “Here is your change. Have a nice day.”

Shuffling through the boat was a difficult task, the 600 souls aboard made for a tight space. I waddled down to the engine room, where I immediately gazed to the many tonnes of gold crammed into the sides of the boat. The captain’s assistant glared at me and was quick to tell us to get to work. I shovelled mounds of sooty coal into the scalding furnaces, with each toss the fire roared louder.

In the multiple communities that the Joad family lived in during their journey west, they met many different families and people that were in the same situation as them. I believe that these similar circumstances are one of the many ways that they were able to make these long-lasting relationships with total strangers. One of the most important relationships the Joads’ made was

Being born into a Persian household was such an exceptional privilege I had, in which today I am extremely grateful for. From the profound history to the intrinsic culture, having a Persian background opened doors to endless pleasures. Yet, it was not too long when I started school and experienced

The road ran by the side of the lake, which became narrower as I approached my native town. I discovered more distinctly the black sides of Jura, and the bright summit of Mont Blanc. I wept like a child: "Dear mountains! My own beautiful lake! How do you welcome your wanderer?

“‘I am being cheated,’ Kino cried fiercely. ‘My pearl is not for sale here. I will go, perhaps even to the capital.’ Now the dealers glanced quickly at one another…the man at the desk said quickly, ‘I might go to fifteen hundred.’ But Kino was pushing his way through the crowd…When the evening came, the neighbors in the brush houses sat eating their corncakes and beans, and they discussed the great theme of the morning…‘And mark this,’ they said…‘Each of the three knew the pearl was valueless.’ ‘But what if they had arranged it before?’ ‘If that is so, then all of us have been cheated all of our lives,’”

Strangely enough, their eyes eventually met, she was gentle young woman who had just finished asking a question to a snooty vendor, but he didn’t seem to care and gave her the cold shoulder instead. Many other vendors would do the same to her, hastily answer and hurry her to pay. She hung her head from rejection and shuffled away to continue shopping. Seeing her so miserable made Pluto feel guilty so he decided to try and comfort her. The young woman had wavy caramel brown hair and angelic olive-green eyes. Furthermore, her dress was a lovely sky blue with brown accents, it was so long and flowing that it could almost reach her tattered sandals. She seemed to not care about the state of her clothes too much because dirt and mud were glued to her shoes and the edges of her dress. Yet she still looked stunning even though her outfit was slightly dirty. Pluto observed as she strayed from booth to booth until he finally mustered enough courage to approach her. He noticed she was carrying a hefty basket crammed with several different meats and offered to help her carry it. “Do you need help with that?” he asked as he pointed to her luggage. “I’m okay, I can carry it myself.” she humbly declined. “It’s lovely out today, isn’t it?” she mentioned. “It is.” They both lifted their heads in unison and admired the sky. “Pardon me, but may I ask your name?” “It’s Calliope, and you?” she inquired. “I
