John: Fire Nation: A Short Story

Matthew E. Barnes was a firefighter who could be called many things including a hero, a friend, a husband, a father and even an angel. The story begins like many 9/11 stories do, with the planes being hijacked, he was one of the men working that day in the New York City Fire Department that would go into the World Trade Center, but would never come out.

In A World Lit Only By Fire, William Manchester explains why he started to write this book, when he began writing due to an illness, and how he was too weak to move but not to write. Manchester had decided to branch out from his usual american history book, and begun to write about Magellan, a european explorer, inspired by other explorers like columbus and navigational, Vasco da gama. and the ¨portrait of age surrounding him”. Though Manchester only uses secondary sources to complete this book, it reviews the religion, education, exploration, and the philosophy of the 16th century. Manchester also describes the poverty, corruption, and violence of the dark ages. And finally, Manchester tells of how the reform acts as a hero of the time, bringing hope and prosperity to the middle ages.

AY: In this section of the text, Jim has just recently begun to sneak out in the beginnings of the nights to attend the Firemen’s Hall dances, something his grandparents forbid him from doing. There he meets some of the same people that used to go the famous Vanni’s dancing tents; Bohemians from Wilber, Antonia, Lena Linguard, Tiny Soderball, the three Bohemian Marys and the Danish laundry girls.

It simply takes one person, willing to put themselves behind other people’s needs. It takes one person willing to step out of their comfort zone. It is very important that I use my gift of the power of one. I am now aware I will never quite understand what others are going through, or what they have been through. But, now I do understand how I can be their light, and hope. Behind every smile is a different story, dream, goal, and purpose. It is my job to get them to express theses things by being a friend, and offering a helping hand. Thinking about what other’s go through is what reminds me daily that I could be the change in their life. Sometimes it is extremely difficult for me to put my needs off for another, but I’m learning to keep in mind that my needs can

You will laugh and will cry in this fun and crazy story, readers will be glued to their seat. Fire country is about the post-apocalyptic world.This is the first book of the country series it starts with a girl Siena she is trying to survive in her village from the life-destroying disease known as the fire she is an outcast who makes friends that help her become stronger. What I personally dislike about the book is that it takes a while for the action to start picking up it took until basically page 80 to start picking up. The good part about the book is that the plot is easy to understand and it’s easy to pick up and enjoy! The outlandish setting as I could describe it makes it like you're looking through glass down at the character living

First and foremost, my morning rituals will consists of thirty minutes of daily Qigong exercises as I was the sun rise. I will also include a daily morning run to release the endorphins and cleanse my soul. I really like the quote “ 80% of success in each day is what we do in the first sixty minutes of that day”. As I begin to start my internship in Boston this summer, I am going to get into a healthy routine that includes Qigong, cardio, and a healthy breakfast to get my mind right. As for being proactive and setting the intention before a situation, my way would be setting the tone right away on a positive note. I will implement the “3 P Rule” of setting my intentions and this will assist me with decisions. I can use this when managing my time properly, establishing new relationships, or daily actions I would normally not think twice about. The on the spot is a concept I wish to really live more religiously by. I believe everything happens for a reason in life, and my goal is to find a positive no matter how negative the situation is. An example could be a harsh breakup, and that leading me to achieve my dream even more and motivate myself to succeed. The quote “The flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all” resonates with me tremendously. Next, is the energy drain and reclaiming my power. I like to compare this to an early cold

A friend of hers realized she had not followed them when they left from the scene. He came back to get her out of the line of fire, but while he was doing that, Anne was hit a second time. But the bullet passed through her lungs, diaphragm, and liver. Her spine injury prevented her from feeling any pain when the bullet traveled in and out of her body. But she could barely breathe. Her friend was unable to drag her all the way to safety without putting himself in danger, so he settled on a spot near the wall of the school and out of the line of fire. It was hot that day, and Anne could smell blood from her wounds boiling in the heat while she dying waiting for help.

Considering all seven habits Joel Brown illustrates of the super successful, The most beneficial habit which has not yet been implemented into my life is Habit 2: The Mind, Body & soul. However I would not promote habit two to be the key habit of the super successful, Therefore I would recommend any reader to focus on the other six habits. Furthermore habit two correlates within the circumstances and challenges of my current lifestyle. Due to the complexity of juggling, studies, career and relationships. Therefore I would view meditation as an asset to my life which resembles habit two. Continuing, Deepak Chopra explained “Meditation increases the amount of rest you would normally achieve through sleep and is almost twice as effective as taking
