There once was a girl named Bailey, she was known for her rich family. She lived with both her parents and her three siblings; Alexander, Christian and Dominic. Alexander, 20, was the oldest of the siblings. Christian and Dominic, 19, were twin brothers. Although they were identical twins and looked so much alike, you could differentiate between them. Christian always acted like a buffoon anywhere the family would go. Sometimes he would use his silliness to get a girl. On the other hand, Dominic always kept to himself, he would give people a baleful look when they stare or try to start a conversation with him.

Hola Ken! Hope you have begun well the week, that you are ok and your leg is feeling much better now.

I hear what you are saying, but that's only one side of the story, but I lost all respect for Tiffany when she stop coming to see Tey. Shamel did not have his mom, Yan and Sarah did not have their mother and I never thought Tiffany would just stop coming to see Tey. I would have bet my life on it. When Tey is crying because his mother wasn't at his game and then he calls her in the morning asking where are you and you make zero effort to come the next week or the weekend after, I cannot respect you. After Tey did that I had to write her letting her know he did that on his own and not prompted by me (I had to beg her to come see him). This woman stop coming to see her son to stay with a man, I can careless about the guy, but when time with him

It was originally a “Savory Seventeen,” but Clara didn’t have enough paper to fit the word “seventeen” on the banner, so she opted for “Savory Twelve.” When Clara invited me, Dakoury, Camilla Guo, and Andi Cheng to her birthday party, I was bogged down with homework. However, I lied to my parents and told them I didn’t have that much work to do, before I accepted the invitation. I didn’t want to regret or miss out on anything. The whole day was surreal, because that day differed the most from my regular routine. Dakoury, Camilla, Andi, and I boarded the train in Andover together, and we got off on Clara’s stop. We walked to her house, and were greeted by her high school friends as well as Kate Burba, a friend I hadn’t seen for two years. Kate hugged me and kissed me on the head as a way of greeting me.

Today is story time with Kinzie. I am going to share with you 3 stories from my life that I feel are entertaining, inspirational, and or lesson learning.

Mr. Skelly’s coal-stained hand twisted and turned, came and went, and cut my baby-skin like hooves. Sweat mixed with soot covered his Frankenstein-face and slopped down it like thick, black streams of sorghum molasses. His neck twitched. His face went grayish black, then emptied like whatever it was that had been pinned up inside of him for eons, suddenly was out.

“Oh, aye the bairns, when we have bairns with humans, there is always a fifty-fifty chance they will be humans,” He replied.

Half the girls on campus drooled after him with his blond curls and muscles. He had a girlfriend. Megan Ramsfield. His perfect match. Cheerleader, softball player, and had just as many fans hovering near her as he did. While Jeannie was, despite years five swimming team and dance lessons since she was five, was constantly dropping or tripping over things. Especially anywhere around Bryan. In the water, that’s where she felt alive. Fluid. A siren

Its a nice story Lew, however, like almost all Americans, the truth is lost in the War... the first causality...

Through the Wife’s journey to bring men and women to a more comparable level there is no attempt to change society’s mind when it comes to shortcomings of the current social order. It is in these instances where the Wife may come off written as a shrewd and spouting her dissatisfaction. The Wife; however, says a few intriguing examples of how her own society goes about treating women unfairly. Double standards for men and women, she states, are far too common and too deeply engrained in culture. While examining this issue, she mentions Christ’s teachings say to her, "That by the same ensample taughte he me / That I ne sholde wedded be but ones" (117, ll. 12-13). She later adheres to the fact that many holy men have had more than one wife, stating, “ I woot wel Abraham was an

I believe this is the golden moment of the book because throughout the novel, we learned quite a lot about the characters and their family scenarios. Weetzie comes from a broken family with divorced parents, and Dirk’s parents are dead before the story begins. Dirk lives with his grandmother, Fifi, who also dies early in the story. Weetzie’s mother is emotionally absent, and while Weetzie’s father, Charlie, is emotionally invested in Weetzie, he lives on the opposite side of the country in New York City. When Charlie dies of a drug overdose, Weetzie loses the parent who had the most positive influence on her life.  Weetzie and Dirk seek to create their own family, which, though nontraditional, appears to succeed where Weetzie’s traditional
