It all began with a simple phone call one night after dinner. “Joe,” Joe’s father hollers up the stairs, “it’s for you. It’s Jackie, and she sounds upset.” As Joe comes downstairs to pick up the phone, he is not happy. Joe is tired and had looked forward to a nice quiet evening at home, not another useless adventure with Jackie. Thirty minutes later, however, Jackie’s 2007 black Ford Escape swings into Joe’s driveway, and Jackie is leaning on the horn before the car can come to a full stop. Joe…

lake that makes you get chills all over. When I’m driving to work I always see the long narrow road ahead that I feel will never end. I’m working as a vet, everyday after work all I hear is people yelling and animals being put down. I asked “Are you ready to go to work yet? I’m getting impatient.” As I was telling my sister, “You can’t always come here with me.” When we were driving in to town the leaves blew up, and swirled around like a tornado. As I walked into…

Tracker school?” Scarlett asked. “All of the Trackers are sent directly here because we need them as close and as safe as possible. They are the true life-savers. If we had them separated, we wouldn’t be able to get as many mutants. It’s best if you don’t think about it,” Nikolai shrugged at Scarlett’s confused face. “Why do the Vulkans care about our schools existing?” Ryan asked. Nikolai sighed. “See? Now this is why the majority of the fledglings start out in a smaller school. That way…

to perform scene six of As You Like It. We have translated this scene to a modern day setting which will be more appealing for children in middle school. Our troop is made up of four middle schoolers attending Old Donation School, which is a school constructed of the most academically advanced students in Virginia Beach.

What I am about to talk about is a place that you should come and live. If not than a place that you can come visit and you should think that it can become your permanent home.

What I want to talk about first is how us Americans have different freedoms. I am very happy about how we have such freedoms of speech, freedom of religion, and we also have some right to own…

“I’m not good at stories, Pidge. Why do you need one?” “Because I’m having the anxiety of a lifetime for the testing we have tomorrow.” “You’re smart, you’ll do fine. Go to sleep.” “Ah, come on Hunk, bore me with one of your stories!” Hunk signed, plugging in his lava lamp for extra light, “Alright, fine. Uh, the story takes place in New Orleans, 1930.” “No, no, no! Do the flapper days of the 1920’s!” “Okay, okay! New Orleans, in the 1920’s. With a man named Keith, who is in his early twenties,…

1) What are the setting and the time period of this play, and how do you see these factors (given circumstances) impacting the lives of the characters? Be sure to include the name of the play.

Due to the initial time period set by William…

This picture of a “like emoticon” from Facebook has a quote stating “Your likes can hurt someone’s feelings, Use your likes wisely” This is automatically targeting people who are bullied on Facebook. As social media becomes more and more a part of our generation, new ways of bullying occur as well. The ad uses all logos and how they use it, is by saying a like on Facebook is one of the causes of cyberbullying and that liking a certain post can hurt someone’s feelings. My goal is to shed a deeper…

together, rose at an instant, learned, played, eat together, and wheresoe'er we went, like Juno's swans, still we went coupled and inseparable" (1.3.70-74).
