Gene and Phineas’s relationship has its ups and downs. One of the downs being, Gene's feeling of jealousy towards Phineas. Phineas is an athletic champion and a charmer, someone everyone adores.

The intricacies that are involved in turning a regular car into a “Street Racer” are many; and racers pour their souls into these magnificent machines. After seeing “the Fast and the Furious” many people have or wanted to become involved in street racing. They do not realize that this is a sport that takes knowledge, hard work, and nerve. Many of these racers have spent their lives under a car, learning the trade and improving upon it. As I have learned, this is not just a hobby; it is a way of life.

David Parrish’s painting “Royal Chevy” is an amazing work of art. Parrish father was brought up in an orphanage and then sent to live with his uncle. After a while of living there he moved out and joined the circus where he played tuba and rode motorcycles. There he met a woman and had a baby. That baby was David Parrish, who was brought up to know that his father was just a banker in Birmingham. After his father’s death he found out about how his father’s love for motorcycles. He decided to do a painting that his father would had loved. This inspired him to do the painting “Royal Chevy”. Parrish studied at the University of Alabama and after all of his hard work he graduated with a BFA. A little while later he went to New York City and decided he did not like the fast passed life so he moved back to Alabama and settled in Huntsville, where he got a job as a technical illustrator for NASA. He grew to learn how to use industrial and aeronautical machinery. In the 1970s, he began to use his expert draftsmanship in his artwork, painting heavily detailed images of motorcycles. When you look at the painting “Royal Chevy” you see a motorcycle with the shocks on the left side and the windshield in the center. When you actual look at it and examine the painting you see many more details. In the painting you see an , a shock, ignition switch, a black gas tank with red stripes, a yellow light cover, chrome handlebars, a foot rest, the number '81, the word "Chevys," and a speedometer.

One character trait to describe Dally is helpful. This is evident when Johnny and Ponyboy get into a situation no one else can get them out of. Knowing Dally would be at Buck Meril's party, they show up seeking his guidance. Johnny and Ponyboy tell him what happened and how Johnny had killed a Social named Bob. Once they finish Dally lets them come inside and warm up. As they are there Ponyboy states, "He handed us a gun and a roll of bills." (Hinton 60). Based on this evidence, it is clear the he is helpful because even during his friends' worst times Dally helps them instead of turning his back. In addition, when Johnny and Ponyboy ran away he goes and finds them. Dally spends more money on them, gives Ponyboy a letter from his brother, Sodapop, and tells them what he knows about what is happening in town. Without

Automobiles are such a significant part of our culture today and have been for the past century as a whole. From the big screen to the pages of a book they can play seemingly important roles that cannot be ignored. Often times these vehicles can assume almost human like characteristics which can cause you, the viewer/reader, to develop a relationship with these inanimate objects whether they are the new, beautiful and sleek sports car or the old, ratty and beat-up truck. In Louise Erdrich’s “The Red Convertible” there are many occurrences in which the state of repair that the Olds is in gives you the sense that it closely represents Lyman’s current feelings towards his brother and how these feelings change and evolve throughout the length of the story.

Over 50 years ago a new sport was introduced. This sport was stock car racing. The organization that sponsors stock car racing is known as National Association of Stock Car Racing, NASCAR. The driver that is identifiable with NASCAR is definitely Dale Earnhardt. Over the years there have been many great stock car racers from Cale Yarborough to Richard Petty and Davy Allison, but no other name was better known than Dale Earnhardt. Whether on the track or in the crowds, there is no possible way a person can look without seeing a black number three or some other Earnhardt insignia. In first or last place, victory circle or behind the wall, the black GM Goodwrench Chevrolet could not be deprived of its

Chief Logan was a nice person before his family was murdered by settlers. Now he has many attacks against settlers. Chief Logan has changed personalities because of the settlers and what they did to his family. The attack happened in 1774 that killed Chief Logan's family. The pioneers harvested when they got the chance to, and they would have to build their own houses by chopping the wood. Chief Logan is a Mingo leader that has once been friendly but turned to angry but just to settlers.

Lee has done a very good job at characterizing the Ewell family, specifically Burris. His descriptions, I feel, would definitely match them in real life. He definitely passed the message that Burris is dirty. He has dirt everywhere on his clothes, in his hair, and on his feet, yes feet, he wears no shoes. Along with the dirt on his clothes, it would not even matter if it was dirty or not, because they are are just straight up messy, they are “ruffled, and tattered. If that does not convince you, he was actually sent home, for being to dirty, by his teacher Ms. Caroline. Also another way to prove Burris is dirty is he has living insects, “Cooties”, in his hair. These things, are very similar to lice, they live in your hair and mess around with your scalp.

At the beginning of Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry (a book about racist plantation owners in Mississippi in 1933, where races were segregated) by Mildred D. Taylor, TJ and Stacey were friends. Then, TJ became friends with RW and Melvin. They stole a pistol and TJ was arrested. This is where the book ends. I think TJ is manipulative because he is dishonest to his teachers, persuasive to his friends, and easily controlled by RW and Melvin.

testing his respect, courage, and mental strength to their fullest extent. Atticus is widowed and is forced to raise his two kids, Scout and Jem, with the help of Calpurnia, the maid of the household.

He takes this case knowing that most of the towns people will resent him for it. This is where Atticus has to choose between what he thinks is right and what others will think of him throughout different situations in the book.

As we know, Trae Young has been lighting up college basketball, some people are saying he will be the first pick even. That’s pretty impressive for a freshman that wasn’t getting talked about like Marvin Bagley, or DeAndre Ayton. He was kind of under the radar. After all of that though, he has been such a great player and might win the Woodland Award for being the very best player in all of college basketball! That’s a pretty great achievement in anybody’s eyes, even regardless if you’re great in the NBA. That’s why he is being compared to Stephen Curry, Curry was a great player obviously but was still under the radar, and look at him now. A two time NBA MVP! The comparison is that Trae Young can really score the ball just like Stephen Curry.

When someone comes from a family of warriors, you would think strong, heroic, and leader like, but that's not the case when it comes to Maldynado Monticzelo in the book Emperor's Edge written by lindsay Brokure. He is not only an outcaste from his family, he also has good attributes such as he is very brave, persuasive, and hilarious. These character traits help the team that he gets recruited into in more ways than one.Maldynado would be selling his body for the rest of his life if it weren't for his recruitment with Amaranthe and her team consisting of Sicarius an assassin, Books a librarian, and lastly Akstar a wizard. Together they needed to clear their names from the law.

In “The Red Convertible” when the brothers, Lyman and Henry, first see the car they said it looked like it was alive “There it was, parked, large as life. Really as if it was alive.” (Eldrich, 1). Which gives it a personification like quality. This can foreshadow the bond it will represent between the brothers. The convertible style of the car can be reminiscent of the carefree and freedom seeking quality of the brothers. The car was perfect and pristine just

on its 9 mile journey along the assembly line. The door is then attached by a very precise machine; this process is called “setting the door”. Then the rear deck fixture is attached by another machine and is welded on. The hood, which is added on next, is not made of steel, but rather it is plastic in order to reduce weight of the car, and therefore reduces gas mileage. The cars then arrive at the paint shop. The cars receive a coat called the “E-Coat” which allows paint to be attracted to the car electrostatically and protects it against rust and corrosion as well. The cars are then “clocked”, which is basically sealing any openings on the car. The car is then polished very carefully to prepare for the coat of paint that is applied and chosen electronically on a computer. This allows the paint to have a smooth, even coat, and a consistent texture and color. The clear coat is put on after the paint to make the car look polished and shiny. The car is then baked in three ovens, the final one reaching a temperature of 280 degrees. The “Paint Expert” then checks for the paint is applied
