I was still drowsing, but I was awake. I got my clothes on and then went to get my phone and I remembered that I did not charge it. I found my phone on the charger and I said in my head “Thank you, dad.” My mom, my sister and I quickly got in the car so we could go to Rockford to get my cousin, Melissa. We stopped at her house and she came with us ready to go to Six Flags.

On March 30, as of three thirty in the morning, my life has officially changed. The labor pains had set in and it was time to have a baby. I had never felt a pain so excruciating in my life, and I thought that cramps were terrible, labor pains do not even compare. I climbed the stairs to my aunts room to let her know that it was time to go to the hospital. After watching her run around the room frantically she finally was able to rush me to the hospital. She zoomed through street lights rushing for fear that I may have the baby in the car and she would pass out. Had

For the next three months, she was very sick. She lived off a steady diet of saltine crackers and water which made her nauseous, but she never threw up. In her second trimester, she felt fantastic; her

The Ride is the story of the heinous and gruesome murder of ten year old, Jeffrey Curley, a case that is familiar to many in the Massachusetts area. The book works its way from the grisly crime to the years afterward. It focuses on the family of Jeffrey, heavily weighted on the life of Cambridge Firefighter Bob Curley, Jeffrey’s father. Charles Jaynes and Salvatore Sicari, both from Jeffrey’s neighborhood were convicted of the murder. Within this essay I will demonstrate from The Ride the relationship between reporting and suffering that may have been brought on for the crime victims of this case, the relationship between the victim profiles and the victim family profiles, the role in which the family may have played in the

In the book “The Long Way Home: An American Journey” the author has many arguments and facts that he is trying to point out. “The only defensible war is a war is a war or defense” says Gilbert K. Chesterton. “The long way home an American journey” is about, The United States, always being a nation of immigrants and I say this because the U.S. had started out with foreign nationalities such as the Caucasians because when they entered the U.S. they claimed “to be the first to find America”, “says Christopher Columbus.”(The Long Way Home) So in 1917 when the U.S. nation army entered in the First World War that had about 2.5 million soldiers, who fought with U.S. armed forces in the long waterways of France and Belgium, some of that half a million nearly was one out of every five men were immigrants that was fighting with the U.S. armed force. In The Long Way Home, David Laskin, is also about Italians, Jews, Poles, Norwegians, Slovaks, Russians, and Irish men that had entered in the First World War U.S. Army as not known people and returned as Americans. In other words the native people that entered in the war were native people that were not normally recognized when they had come to the U.S. to fight in the First World War. In the native people childhoods in Europe, is where Laskin had started to unfolds the saga of their journeys in Ellis Island. While stating a new chapter in their lives

My mother goes on to tell me she wouldn’t put me out she just didn’t want that for me. So I then said ok yes I’m pregnant. My

A Columbia woman was rushed to the hospital with stomach pains. Doctors were shocked to find out what caused the woman's pain. They found out that the cause of the woman's pains was actually a common vegetable. The woman's mother told her that she could avoid pregnancy by sticking a potato up her vagina. However, that was when the trouble started.

We were chosen on MTV they gave us $10,000 to go on a road trip we have to at least spend between 9,500 and 10,000. Or the trip is a fail. Starting in New York and ending in New York.
