Somersault

My Thirteenth Summer Sarah Gervais Reflecting on this event many times in my past, I have called it an "innapropriate romance", I have called it “an unprofessional relationship”. However, most frequently, I have called it “the thing that happened that summer.” As in — remember the thing that happened that summer? What I never called it, for reasons similar to that of why I never made a fuss about it when it happened, was sexual abuse. To me, it was because it felt like an overly dramatic Dr

some parkour ?” Andy questioned. “Yo, c’mon let’s do that!” Everyone began heading outside. Bud glanced back. “Aren’t you coming, Cedro?” “Uh, yea!” I slowly walked towards the door, wide eyed. Not again, not again. History repeated itself - somersaults, vaults, half twists, then the roof. This entire time, I wished that something would change, anything. “Um, guys, I think I’m gonna drop out for this one…” Andy piped up. “What are you, three? Stop being a coward, Cedro.” Unwillfully, I got on the

As I rolled to a stop on the grass and the campers laughed, as I also did, I jumped up and in my best attempt

Everyone grows up with their favorite childhood movies. Whether born in the 1970s or the 2000s, you were able to enjoy Roald Dahl’s, Charlie in the Chocolate Factory. Dahl originally wrote the book in 1964, which sold over twenty million copies worldwide. With such huge success with his book he wrote the 1971 screenplay as well. The 1971 screenplay was Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, as it focused more on the Charlie’s life than Willy Wonka, but the film used Willy Wonka for the title because

Have you ever been in a life-threatening accident? On July 19, 1989, a DC-10 United Flight jet crash-landed in Sioux City, Iowa after the number two engine in the tail exploded (Flight 232, 8). The engine failure led to the loss of all hydraulics, which led to the loss of the controls. Fortunately, one of the passengers on the jet was Dennis Fitch, a United training and check pilot (AirDisaster.com, 2).

conclusion to the pattern is very significant because it is symbolic of her wanting to figure out the purpose and meaning of her own life. When she quotes, “You think you have mastered it, but just as you get well underway in following, it turns a back-somersault and there you are. It slaps you in the face, knocks you down, and tramples upon you”, I interpret her to not only be describing the difficulty of figuring out the pattern in front of her, but also the difficulty of figuring out how to escape the

for them no matter what? It was that. It was the tear between being a honorable person and keeping the one person who admired you close to you. It’s tough to watch your hero’s fall. It didn't assist that every time I went near her, my stomach did somersaults and I shook like a hyena. Perry also hated anyone told her how to act, that meant Perry was my escape. She let me create affairs my parents would never let me accomplish. And it just felt fantastic. And later, we started fighting. It was stupid

Risks and creativity seem like they can never correlate, but in “Create Dangerously” and “Dreams that have changed the world”, Edwidge Danticat and Van De Castle contrast the risks taken in creativity to produce a satisfying masterpiece. Danticats an immigrant artist creates despite the adversity she faced; Danticat has taken risks and wrote against the horrors of Haiti.

The human mind is capable of many remarkable feats. It has allowed humanity to explore the heavens and dive the deepest parts of the oceans, all sparked by creativity and things outside of the box. The mind is also capable of deceiving itself and convincing people of harmful illusions. David Hwang’s M.
