It was a cold and windy day, a perfect day to uncover secrets and truths about writers I had heard of, but new little about.

I began my search at a computer resource station, and then absorbed myself in the materials it provided, which were biographies, criticisms, and the works of Cisneros.

Tom Sawyer, a character in Twain’s novel “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn”, is a young kid, and is well portrayed as such by Twain through his decisions and actions throughout the novel. Throughout the novel, Tom displays instances of cruel treatment for Jim, lack of sensitivity to Jim’s feelings, acts of cruelty towards Jim, and sometimes other characters, which in turn comments on society and the normal views of society at the time. In the latter stages of the novel, Huck and Jim reunite with Tom, and include him in the plan and idea to release Jim for slavery. While deciding the plan to execute, the boys decide to go with Tom’s plan, a plan that just goes horrid in terms of actually making Jim free.

Skateboarding is the act of riding and performing tricks using a skateboard. A person who skateboards is most often referred to as a skateboarder, or colloquially within the skateboarding community, a skater. Skateboarding can be a recreational activity, a job, or a method of transportation. Skateboarding has been shaped and influenced by many skateboarders throughout the years.

Waking up and looking outside, the snow is several inches deep covering the grass, the street, and the snow-banks are knee high. These are the perfect conditions, for one thing, snowboarding.

In the AR article “Court Hears Icy Battle Between Snowboarders, Skiers,” I found that people and their ideas greatly affected the battle between the two sports. For example, the snowboarders idea was that they should be able to get permission so they can snowboard at the Utah ski resort.

Then in 1977 Jake Burton Carpenter developed the first bindings and changed the sport forever.

Snowboarding may seem like a daunting thing to learn, but with a few tips and some practice anyone could do it. Getting in the right mindset is very important before you start to snowboard.

Imagine being at the top of the world, on a bitter cold mountain, over top of an enormous crowd. The lustrous lights are shining below on the massive jump created for the professional snowboard competition that will decide whether you win or lose the competition.
