Drip, drip, drip, it started to sprinkle as I walked inside my house because, there was a leak. My Grandma announced, ”Here is a picture of your dad, please keep it with you.” I listened and I kept it with me. I got in the car because my grandma told me to.

You were so busy looking at the fire you didn’t know it when he put the blanket around you." (p.96) Atticus says this after Scout asks him who put the blanket around Jem and her. The second time Boo leaves his house is to save Scout and Jem from getting attacked by Mr.Euwell. “He was still leaning against the wall…

Mr. Shiftlet continues on the road saying he has to get to, “Mobile” before nightfall only to hit a bump on the road tragically dying instantly. By this deviance he instantly got his karma. By the elements of mystery, southern pride, and deceivance, it made the plot thicken with an underlying personality of Mr. Shiftlet that he perceives to the outer world. I can now understand what the author was thinking when they wrote the title of this fiction story, “The Life You Are Saving May Be Your Own”, because if Lucynell did not fall asleep in the diner she too, would have been dead along with Mr. Shiftlet.

In chapter 2 after Ponyboy tells the story about Johnny getting jumped, the author states Johnny never walked by himself after that. And Johnny...now carried in his back pocket a six-inch switchblade. He 'd use it, too, if he ever got jumped again.” This quote proves that the blue mustang changed how Johnny lived his life and every time he sees that mustang again, he will be prepared. While greaser have their hair long and greased back, The socs have their mustangs and madras.

This was not the case for me. The biggest mistake of my life was trusting my brother to catch a ball. On a hot Saturday in the autumn of 2009, I was eating a bowl of Frosted Flakes at the kitchen table of my house. My mother had just left the house to run some errands, and my older brother, Colin, was to my right enjoying a bowl of Cocoa Puffs.

the cough is a mere nothing: it will not kill me. I shall not die of a cough" (1128). Fortunato is ignorant enough to believe that he can best

Crackle, pop the fire sounded as I placed new logs on top of the hot embers. This was the fire the children of my village sat around and told stories before they went to sleep, and tonight was no different. All of their eyes stared at me expectantly as they waited for me to start telling them a story. “Two Rivers Running, tell us the Story of the Great Battle again,” the little ones asked. All eyes were on me as I sat down next to them, everyone silent as I told them the story of the Great Battle.

Illness vs Power Born in Braunau am Inn, Australia on April 20, 1889, Adolf Hitler was born fourth out of six siblings. Hitler’s two eldest siblings passed due to diptheria while the third child passed shortly after birth. Three years after Hitler had been born, his father and mother had another baby boy. Not long after, Hitler received a baby sister.

Holden basically is very immature for what he did and he kind of deserved it. In the book it shows him getting beat up, “I didn't let go, though. I had a pretty good half nelson on him. ‘Liberate yourself from my viselike grip," I said. ‘Jesus Christ’.

The obstacle race included activities like moving a marble down a trail with only pipes that could connect, finding a man on a moped covered in leaves and getting a selfie with him, and shooting some type of arrow at a wooden buffalo. This was a fun a great team building activity for the NHS participants. This retreat wasn’t just for the activities it was also to get prepared for the next year 's chapter and get everything reviewed and revised. After reviewing the chapter they went to take some time get rested for the annual campfire with s 'mores. The campfire consisted of many different types of scary stories from little boy being kept in the basement to a story from the 1800’s.

In chapter 6, Jem, Dill, and Scout go over to the Radley house on Dill’s last night to try and see Boo Radley through a window. Instead, they see a shadowy figure in the yard and a gunshot goes off, scaring them and forcing them to run away from the property. While they are running away, Jem loses his pants and leaves them behind. Once they get back home, they join the group outside huddled near the Radley house. Jem is questioned about where his pants are and responds with how he lost them in a game of strip poker.

I went into his room and said “One last game of Madden?” He responded with an assuring “Yeah man.” So we went into the basement, turned on the Xbox, and started playing Madden. I was the Browns and he was the Bears, he was also the home team. We battled and battled.

On a very hot summer day, I was just sitting around looking for something to do. Then I thought I will go to Darren house and BullSh** with him. So, I got in my truck with chase and went to Lumberport. Once I got into town of Lumberport I passed the only cop they have. Next thing I know he was following me, then he pulled me over.

“ It will be celebrated… with pomp and parade… bonfires and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other,” once said the famous John Adams. Most people could probably tell what John Adams is talking about, the great 4th of July. Most years before this year I would stay at my house and shoot off fireworks with my family and a few of my friends. This year my friends and I decided to go to other parts of our neighborhood.
