A connection so powerful that you would surrender just about anything on the planet if they were happy. For Ashley thing's used to be simple. That had been until the day she had discovered the closest friendship she ever had, was much more than she had bargained for. It had all begun on a bright summer day while she was sixteen years old. Her and her friends had…

Should students be required to wear school uniforms? The arguments against the requirement of school uniforms is not new. During the 1800’s England required all of their students to wear uniforms. In the United States, this school requirement began in 1987 in an inner-city school in Baltimore. In 1994, a school district in California followed suit. People who oppose school uniforms argue that requiring students to dress in a particular way is against the First Amendment of the US Constitution.…

Personification reveals the authors opinion on racist language “the darkness” (racist words) should not be used and demand silence. Linguistically, the writer uses external language to illustrate character. The leader of the party is a “big man” who wears “khaki trousers”, “laced up riding boots”, “an old shooting jacket”.

as sweat dripped down the side of his face trickling into his beard. His beard covered most of his face yet leaving his cheeks bare and starting to pink from the sun. Jason was in full golf attire with a black collared shirt, nicely tucked into his khaki shorts which were held up with his smooth leather belt. Resting on his face was a pair of expensive costa glasses that help him view the course better than without sunglasses. As Jason stepped onto the black course he looked above to the sky…

After our now unwelcomed guests had departed, I knew I had to get more information on the victim’s disappearance. “Phew” I said, who would’ve thought a dame such as that could put so much pressure on a guy like me. Damn! roughly 3 hours passed by...I know that’s not one of Quetz’s abilities so she must of some time warping ability. It would explain why she could move so fast without any real change in visual movement. Honestly why would Quetz choose her as his “insurance”. Everyone knows that…

It was the last day of summer before my Junior year of high school. Belive it or not, I was actually quite excited to start school. This summer had been pretty sucessful, considering I had been all over the place. Mexico, the west coast, etc. Also during this summer, I had broken up with my boyfriend, (a complete train wreck, that's completely unnecessary to get into.) So that left me confused with my feelings. My ex had a bestfriend, who had over the past year, became one of my very close…

Before…
