the most trying times of his life as he spent more time on this book than many of his other works. After falling on hard times Dick let his home become a place for addicts and was eventually burgled. Later in his life Dick…

some sort of electronic beacon/radio that can hone in on their position if activated so they can be rescued if they are in some sort of sticky situation. Chris had absolutely none of these things and he expected to survive for an extended period of time. Don’t bother with trying to ask him about why he did this as his lifeless body was found inside of an abandoned bus which was nick-named the Magic Bus(too much, Magic Bus! ha, funny…

corner, the classic Bisy Backson is always trying to save time. Pooh prefers to leisurely float through life as he says that as far as time goes, “you can only spend it.” I often find myself looking for better opportunities, searching for something else, and not living in the moment. Our focus should instead be turned to simplicity. Owl is lacking of real life experiences, unlike Pooh. While Owl is viewed as extremely wise, it is due to the time that he spends inside reading. He actually lacks…

The informative speech I gave on Wednesday about “GM Foods” did not go better than I expected that I could have done because I felt time pressure to organize a verbal outline as closer to written outline. On the topic “GM Foods”, my rhetoric was mainly to inform audiences about negative impact of GM foods on human health. The most difficult part of this informative speech for me is the topic selection. Going through the struggle of finding the topic of large public/audiences interest which can…

went blank. Silence surrounded us as I sat there, staring blankly down at the paper. 15 minutes later, I handed him the paper with a random solution written on it. After failing a few more problems, we decided to stop the test. I thanked him for his time, and heaved my backpack onto my shoulders. Suppressing the tears that were welling up behind my eyes, I walked out of the room. As I stepped out into the sunlight, I couldn’t hold it back anymore, and tears came pouring out of my…

It all begins with a push of a button. The process is simple. Pick one of the 196 000 pokie machines in Australia sat idle, awaiting their next victim. Insert some coins into a slot and press that green button. Mindlessly stare, wholly and completely fixated as those icons spin around and around. Powerless to those flashing lights, to that symphony of celebratory sound effects- which are more often than not, praising the loss of yoyr hard- earned money. Only to do it all over again. To 23…

Resurrection plays a huge role throughout the novel. The main theme of the book is “Recalled to life” because of the main character in the beginning of the first book.

It implies resurrection, which in such stories often goes wrong”(Chestern). Most people would be happy that…

appealing, but now I know that for next semester and for my next three years I need to stop slacking and procure my work done on time. This is why one of my goals for high school is to receive exceptional grades. Another ambition that is very important to me while I am in high school is to win a valley ring in soccer. Our high school hasn't won a ring since 1994. That is a long time, we have made it far in years past but haven't been able to clinch it. I made it to the varsity soccer team this…

My family and I have visited Brackenridge Park for many years now, beginning from a time where my line of vision extended only a few feet off the ground to the beginning of my time at university. Granted, my height might not have changed much, but time certainly has. Brackenridge Park easily surpassed the dreaded McAllister Park (dreaded because as a child, I hated nothing more than spending hours walking through the never-ending park in the middle of the burning heat that Satan himself would…
