“Why bother,” Penny huffed. “We already know it’ll be something crazy. They’ll probably tell us to jump off the building, to just trust them! What’ll you do then, Lennon?” I ignored her and started to work on prying the capsule open. First, I tried to use my practically nonexistent nails, which I was in the habit of biting, then decided to use my teeth to loosen one of the plastic lids on the end. “Let me do it,” Ben said a minute or two later, likely fed up with how long I was taking. “No,” I

Scribble. Scribble. That’s an annoying sound, Lucy thought to herself. She turned around to look at her black haired friend, Jackie, from across the classroom and mouthed to her “ When does this class get out?” “12:20”, Jackie mouthed back. Lucy then sighed and turned back around and worked on the assignment she was working on ignoring the whispers directed at her. Rinnnnnngg. That’s the bell, Lucy mentally thought to herself. She reached down to get her backpack and Jackie appeared in all her glory

July 12, 1995 When my life had began. My life used to be so great, when I was actually happy. All I cared about was family, we would all go out to eat every Tuesday. Our parents would always treat us good, as in “us” I mean my twin sister and I. Jullie was her name, she was so beautiful, she was my best friend. We would always go shopping together, it was our favorite thing to do together. June 14, 2010 was the last time I saw her. June 14 was the day everything went down, when part of me was lost

“He’s not selfish at all. He just…hurts.” – The Fourth Voice (Welch, James. The Death of Jim Loney. Penguin, 2008. Print. 21.) My parents and family think that I trying to be pompous when I don’t talk to them. They think I’m selfish and keep everything to myself. They think I only do things for myself because I don’t want to help them out. They’re so wrong. I just know that opening up and interacting with people leads me to become a much less happy person. “I’m not unintelligent… I have no reason

difficulties in their life they would usually ignore. Each female character persuades and motivates Jefferson and Grant from running away from their responsibilities. Tante Lou and Miss Emma convince Grant to make Jefferson die like a man and not a hog, and Vivian makes Grant stay in the quarter and not run away from his purpose in his life. One of the first female characters introduced is Miss Emma, Jefferson’s godmother. The first description of Miss Emma is in the courtroom where she is described as a heavy-set

Holiday Experience Every person needs to take one day away, a day in which one consciously separate the past from the future, it is can be about jobs, employers, task, assignment, responsibility in every statement, and the problem of life. Friends can be a good solution to spend the time when we have a holiday. Sometimes each person deserves a day without any charge of life, in which no problems are confronted, no solution searched for, to enjoy their life exactly. And when we talk about holiday

Amanda Calkins is someone that very few people would consider a role model. A twenty one year old girl in culinary school who doesn’t have much to her name other than a beat up yellow volkswagen beetle, a cat named Dinah, and her weekly pack of marlboro red cigarettes that she carries around in her black leather purse. She is always running late, constantly swearing, and has the most unpredictable temper. Her skin is white as the snow, and her edgy black shaggy hair frames her face giving off a very

As Jenna stood there drenched in the oniony stench of the cafeteria's chili, all she could think about was how she was going to get revenge on Taylor Everly. “Whoops,” Taylor said sarcastically while her annoying gang of peppy followers giggled behind her. As she walked away, Jenna heard her say to her friends “At least she’ll smell better now.” Taylor was the cheer captain and the school’s star track runner. She had been torturing Jenna for years. But Jenna never fought back. She had been waiting

"But how can these girls see, though?" "Why don't you ask somebody?" "Maybe later." When The Crew left the space station, they waited for a bus. "I almost forgot," Angel said as she handed The Crew silver cards. "These are universal debit cards. You can use them on any planet. Each have a thousand points. That converts to $2,500 Canadian, and about $5,000 Terrian...I think that's the word I'm looking for." The bus arrived in front of the space station, even though it looked more like an ultramodern

In his book the frog and the Ox, Aesop states “Self-conceit leads to self-destruction” meaning that over bragging and exaggerating about yourself could be the cause of your self-destruction in the end. This quote could be best used in describing the situation that takes place in a Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams.
