If It Takes All Summer: Martin Luther King, the KKK, and States' Rights in St. Augustine, 1964, is the personal account of Dan R. Warren, a Florida State's Attorney in 1964, "of the struggle for equality that occurred in St. Augustine and a southern lawyer's view of how that struggle gave meaning to the promises of equality made more than two centuries ago." Warren's text describes an almost civil war ( I use this term because St. Augustine would become a town of constant retaliation) in St. Augustine between Martine Luther King and the Civil Rights movement and the KKK and the whites who supported them. In his text Warren analyzes and explains how the KKK became the pseudo-voice and representatives of St. Augustine during the summer of 1964, because most were scared to stand up against them, and more citizens than anyone would like to admit secretly supported them through money-filled "collection jars" left at various hotels and restaurants throughout the city.

A month ago, the Desert Hot Springs High, Soccer Girls, and myself when on a hike. There were about fifteen girls. We all started hiking up the hills together, but there was a moment where a one of the girls was left behind. I noticed so I stopped, turned around, and walking over to where she was at to see if she was okay. When I got to her, I asked her if she was okay, and she said to me “I can’t do this anymore, it’s too much. My legs hurt. I’m very tired just leave without me. I’ll walk back down by myself”, but I didn’t leave her side. I stayed with her until she was ready to continue going up the hill. As we were walking up, I was motivating her, so she can making it to the top of the hill. I didn’t let her give up on herself. There were

In “All Summer in a Day” by Ray Bradbury and “Examination Day” by Henry Slesar, many similarities and differences emerge throughout the stories. “Examination Day” is about a 12-year-old boy who has to take a test by the government only a few weeks after his birthday. The boy's name is Dickie and he passes the test by the government, and as a result they exterminate him. This portrays the dim mood of Bradbury’s story. In “All Summer in a Day” a character living on Venus, named Margot, is different than the people around her. She is different because she remembers the sun, unlike the other characters living on Venus. Furthermore, there are similarities between the settings, the the, and the way the authors express their writing in “All Summer in a Day” and “Examination Day”.

Summers view is the “style” was created by art historians to help distinguish patterns or characteristics to contextualize artwork. Art historians have used style to create certain groups and explains the change (Minor 128). This allows art historian to create an order in their view of the past. Individual style of an artist such as gestures and brushwork of Van Gogh is the sign of his distinctiveness. Summers discusses how “style” could have been a byproduct of our society placing importance of individual genius and creativity (145). Ones style develops as the one develops through life such as a distinct characteristic of style that is exclusive to an artist and then show how that style relates to the artist training (148).

I felt like I could do anything. The moment was extremely surreal. I hadn’t accomplished anything so arduous in my life. The crowd’s cheers were thundering through my body. I had so much adrenaline coursing through my veins that I wasn’t even weary. People were jumping up and down, screaming in victory, and clapping so loud I couldn’t hear myself think. I couldn’t believe that I had just won the State Championship volleyball game.

Summer was a very, very busy time this year. It is definitely my favorite season of the year but there was not a whole lot of time for relaxation. I did many things from playing sports to working.
