Yes It Is

Yes Virginia is an editorial from a writer of the New York Sun. It was written by a little girl named Virginia who is eight years old in 1897. In her letter she is explaining that her friends are telling her that there is no Santa claus so she asks the writer to tell her the truth. She also adds in her letter the reason she is writing to the sun. She states in her letter that "papa says". The writer then replies to her explaining his interpretation of a Santa claus.

Denise grabs her water bottle and sits down, leaning her back against the mirrored wall. As she takes a sip of water, Kate sits down next to her and says, “hey” in a friendly tone. “Oh hi,” Denise replies. Kate ignores the distaste in Denise’s voice and says, “good job with the dance today. You choreographed it really well.” Denise murmurs “thank you,” and stands up, taking her water bottle to the other side of the room. Of course Kate just has to be the nice one.

“Allen would never do such a thing- he adores you- I could see it in his eyes the day you were married. And you looked so lovely that day!” “He changed, once-,” said Mrs. Ingalls, “We shouldn’t be talking about this- it’s a family thing and needs to be kept in private. Forgive us for blabbering like common folks… we’re just worried, that’s all.” “And you have a right to be worried, Mrs. Ingalls,” conceded Eli. “War is a dangerous thing. Isn‘t it Allie…” “Yes, yes it is, I will pray for his safe…

CPR and bagging wereas the only thing keeping this precious baby alive. A woman asked me if I was okay; I said yes, but I wasn’t okay. An EMT went to the waiting room to get the mother and take her to the comfort room. “Her pupils are unresponsive.” 9:13 they stopped. The mother's wails echo throughout the ER, the nurses and doctor went back to their now cold breakfast, carrying on a conversation like the past 27 minutes never happened. Nurses repeatedly asked me if I was okay my answer every…

We fight against the Germans through Hell or High water, we don’t wait like cattle ready for the slaughter, or like Eagles who wait to kill their prey, we are wolves, hunters, protectors-” I slammed my book shut loudly and looked into his eyes with a cold stare, “We...are soldiers...not revolutionaries...we quietly wait for our chance to strike, yes, but that doesn’t mean we like it. We protect those who can’t protect themselves...and we save what we can, we fight the war if only to save as…

provides so knees and other parts of the body are not injured during the moves. They also need to do what they are capable of doing and not over do it. Not following these rules may cause injuries and may take time to heal.
