Summer Is Hot On The Heels Of Spring

The story of Summer, by David Updike, is set during that idyllic time in life when responsibility is the last word on anyone's mind. And yet, as with all human affairs, responsibility is an ever-present and ever-necessary aspect to life. What happens when the protagonist, Homer, loses his awareness of a certain personal responsibility to maintain self-control? Homer's actions increasingly make him act foolishly, internally and externally. Also, how does Homer return to a sense of sanity and responsibility? To a degree, I would say that he does.

There are many things we can identify in our favorite novels. In my book The Hidden Summer, there are themes, the author's purpose, and conflict. The protagonist in this novel is Nell. The setting takes place in an abandoned mini golf course.

They aren't too happy about this news but as best friends, they'll find a way to meet each other no matter the obstacles.

How can you compare water and ice in a natural form? Thirteen inches of snowfall is equal to one-inch rainfall only. (NOAA National Severe Storms Laboratory, 2010) Michigan does have a lot of snow days during winter, but summer in Michigan experiences completely different experience. An average temperature difference in Michigan's winter and summer is about 25-degree Fahrenheit. (US Climate Data, 2016) Tourists do visit more Michigan in summer because of the scenic beauty of the great lakes of Michigan however, people who like winter sports visit Michigan in winter because Michigan does have more facilities, such as 42 ski areas more than any other state in the USA.

In the short film All Summer In a Day, there is a classroom full of children on a planet very similar to Earth. This story is taking place in the future and on a very dismal planet. The sun only shines once a year and only for a couple hours. On this planet it rains all day, every day. All of the children flock together to see the sun when it shines but one kid in particular is very loving of the memory of the sun. All of the children are too young to remember the sunlight except for the one, Margot. Margot was born on Earth and is older than the other children so she remembers the sunlight very faintly. William is jealous that Margot can remember the sun being out and he cannot. Therefore william picks on Margot by bringing her hope down and

The short sci-fi story All Summer in A Day by Ray Bradbury is about being treated as an outcast and reveals the alienating effects that it may have. Sometimes this treatment is brought on by others. In this case, Margot is treated in this harsh manner because she isn’t the same as her classmates and they desire to have the life experiences that she has. Being outcast may not be the only main theme for this story in each reader’s mind. All Summer in A Day provides a multitude of possible themes. This may be the case, however, the children’s physical and emotional abuse of Margot is extreme and justifies this theme. As the time draws nearer for the sun to rise, Margot’s classmates become more brash and crue and at that moment, Margot is exponentially different from the other children in hr class. This concept of being outcast and

Turning someone’s life around takes a lot of dedication. Spencer, the main character in Robert Parker’s Early Autumn, uses dedication in order to turn a boy’s life around who hasn’t learned the proper skills he’ll need to survive as an adult. Spencer’s code gives him the ability to posses a lot of discipline because Spencer values constant self improvement which shows that constantly improving yourself is a trait that adults need to have in order to be healthy and function in society. Some of Spencer’s rules show that his code includes dedication.

In One Summer 1927 and When Everything Changed, the authors are both showing the reader different ways in which America was shaped over the years. The author of One Summer mainly tells the men's role in history, while When Everything Changed focuses more on the Women's role in history. Between these two time periods, there is a lot that took place. Some of the events included; Charles Lindbergh and the flappers in One Summer and the Women's right movement and struggles in becoming equal in When Everything Changed. By showing both the men's and women's side of each story, the reader can come to the conclusion that men and women are equal when making history.

According to a study at Harvard, one of the leading causes of obesity is due to the fact that most people in America don’t know how to eat properly, specifically the “social environment in which people play a huge role in the food and activity choices they make.” (“Obesity Causes”) A lot of kids normally eat half of their lunches, or no lunch at all, and then chow down on the junk that they are used to, simply because they don’t know what good-tasting, healthy food is. However, if you add flavor to the school food, it will definitely help with child obesity. The Victoria State Government has stated that a helpful tip to cooking healthy is to use an alternative liquid, like stock, fruit juice, or even water rather than oil, and to “steam, bake, grill, braise, boil or microwave your foods.” (“Healthy cooking tips”) The reason for that is because fatty oils leave an unhealthy coating on your food. Also, by cooking in a pan, the butter or oil that you use to coat the pan is absorbed by your food, making it more fatty. Personally, grilling is a preferred method because all of the fatty parts of the meat (or whatever you decide to cook) gets burned off or cooked into the meat. It adds a lot of flavor and is generally a much healthier

Misty dew covers the entire surface of the field. The yellowing corn stalks stand erect and proud until my grandpas tractor comes to end their growth. Autumn slowly weaves its way in and leaves a stain of brilliant color in its wake. Not everyone enjoys such colors, but when you take a second to step outside your doorstep, and look at all the wonders that surround you, you’d be surprised at how marvelous the world can truly be. To me, Autumn is a time for relishing in the colors. Soaking in the oranges and reds while sitting by a warm fire. It’s a time for remembering that everything does end, but it does not have to end in the dreadful way we think it will. Autumn is a time for the closeness of others to keep out the chill of the morning and the starry-eyed darkness of the night.

My favorite season of the year is summer because of the warm weather, the school vacation, and the endless fun. I really enjoy the warm weather because it’s the perfect atmosphere to do outdoor activities. My favorite part about summer has to be the fact that school is closed for two months. During summer, you’re free to do whatever you want, not worrying about curfew or waking up early for school. Summer time is a great time to relax with friends and family by soaking up the sun at a beach or simply having dinner together.
