Will you marry me? IT IS FEBRUARY also known as the month of love. This constant reminder can be discouraging for people who are not in a “relationship” at the moment. I am, by no means a relationship expert, but I DO know that everything happens for a reason, and in God’s timing.

Introduction: 1- So let me ask you a question: How many of us like to listen to stories? I believe, all of us! And, would you like to name your favorite story? Can you tell me why you like it?

I comprehend the pulses of the universe and the breath of tall grass; I understand the lapping of waves on a faraway shore as clearly as a ripple in my glass. My soul is nothing but a tool which I can cast like a fishing lure into a room full of strangers, pulling up dreams and hopes and hidden feelings
If you were to ask me what is something I remember from my childhood that was so significant I would answer, food. Food has definitely been such an huge impact in my life. Coming from a Mexican household, it is something that brings people together and makes us connect with all the spices as well as experiment with different tastes.

The best way to ask for beer is to sing out Ubik. Made from select hops, choice water, slow-aged for perfect flavor Ubik is the nation 's number-one choice in beer. Made only in Cleveland. Upright in her transparent casket, encased in an effluvium of icy mist, Ella Runciter lay with her eyes shut, her hands lifted permanently toward her impassive face.

Egan presents multiple female characters in “Ask Me if I Care”. The short
I am not you, you are not me; emotions are what make us unique, but what we do with those emotions is what affects us beyond our own being. Thinking about high school just over a year ago gave me shivers down my spine; I didn’t know what I was in for. It was a constant battle of two perspectives: Will these four years really be the best, or the worst? One of my really close friends kept telling me not to worry – but how could I do that when I felt like I would be that one person who made all the
thesis of her whole article even though it isn’t addressed until the last sentence. The whole article is seemingly addressed towards Lewak which makes her the primary audience. That can be seen in the concluding paragraph when Block writes “Let me ask you this, Lewak…” Jenny Block used Lewak’s article to make a very convincing counter argument for an issue that women have been fighting against for ages. Block is able to bring a new found light to this argument by keeping in mind the view that most
