The jeep screeched to a halt. They jumped out and charged up the steps to the front door then pounded on the knocker. 'Open up!' They heard a voice call, 'Don’t shout. I'm coming.' Mrs Fum opened the door and Lord Fox doffed his cap. 'I am Major Chalk from the Children’s Regiment, and this is my second in command. We must speak to His Lordship. Right this minute.' Without further ado, he strode past the open-mouthed housekeeper. Once inside the hall, he marched towards the sound of voices at the

Apprehensive To Feel Being raised in the Chicano culture in a small underprivileged metropolis which had very little community spirit, I was taught to be able to fend for myself at a young age. My family was uptight about my reputation as if our family’s honor depended on it. I was expected to be an admirable and thoughtful person to others while keeping my personal problems inside. This setting vastly affected on how I presented myself my whole life. Growing up in this environment also impacted

When she arrived at his apartment, it looked like a Christmas explosion, and Gwen tried not to laugh. Gwaine had strung Christmas lights across his ceiling, covering every inch, and they pulsed to the cheerful melody of Jingle Bell Rock pouring out of his speakers. He wore a black sweater with a huge white snowflake in the middle and a pair of felt deer antlers on his head. On the counter stood several bowls filled with dough. Gwen sniffed. “Is that chocolate and cinnamon?” With a grin, he waved

Irony is defined as a literary technique used to create humour and other emotions for the reader, like suspense or tension. There are three different types of irony, dramatic, situational, and verbal. Dramatic irony is created when the reader knows something that the character or narrator doesn’t and is mostly used to create suspense. Situational irony, unlike dramatic, is mostly used for humour. Situational irony is when the opposite of what is expected to happen, happens. Verbal irony is similar

Mud Run Not everyone is a runner; in fact some might think distance running is boring. However, our Canadian athletes love to run, whether long distance or short sprints. There are many running events during the 2016 Summer Olympic Games; make sure to tune in to some of the running events as our athletes run for gold. In our version of running we are going to pattern

was mortally wounded in the struggle. In the book, they have Dracula dying from having his throat cut and heart stabbed by Jonathan. Also the effects of the movie were absolutely terrible. In one scene, they show a bat flying in and it looks like a plastic bat. If I could change anything from the movie, I would have made the movie follow the storyline of the book more and not change it as much as they did. The movie was very hard to follow along with. I would have also followed the descriptions of the

The topic that we have chosen was death. The book that I have picked is called Keturah and Lord Death by Martine Leavitt. This novel is a supernatural/fairy tale-ish book that involves love and death. In this book, Keturah, a 16 year old female, follows a hart into the forest behind her house. She gets lost in this forest for a few days and when she was starving and thirsty a man on a horse comes up to her and tells her that her time is up and that she’ll become Lord Death’s wife. Keturah being

with her, “ Kneeling, watching the hole, he tried to concentrate on Lee Strunk and the war, all the dangers, but his love was too much for him, he felt paralyzed, he wanted to sleep inside [Martha’s] lungs and breathe her blood and be smothered.” (O’Brien 328). Similarly Kirsten carries a comic book that she uses to escape her reality. Despite not having much recollection of the Arthur, the man who gave her the comic, she finds purpose in this item. Readers can deduce this from the fact that although

“You need to share your toys, Quinn.” They did not need any redirection and often resolved the situation themselves. These interactions are important for learning, as children learn from both talking and interacting with other children and adults (Arthur, Beecher, Death, Dockett & Farmer, 2008). In relation to the ages of the children, it did affect the type of interactions. Ava is 4 years of age, she is autonomous, full of energy and confident. She interacts with the other children, makes friends

minute conversation without telling at least one lie? In fact, the average number of lies a subject told in the exchange was three. Lying has become so second nature to people that sometimes they do not even realize they are doing it. According to Arthur Miller’s The Crucible, a lie- whether it be a small white one or a large, intricately-knit web of them- can be told in a number of situations for a number of different circumstances. One circumstance in which people often turn to a lie for an answer
