Almost everyone in their life time has had a person that hid a secret to them as it happened to me and in the story “The Toughest Man”. In “The Toughest Man” by Victor Ciurte, Victor family or grandfather didn’t tell him about his grandfather health to not take the opportunity of him coming to the united states. After Victor had settled he called his parents to tell them how he was capable of living on his own. He called his parents but they didn’t answer so, he called his grandparents and his, mother answered the phone and told Victor that his grandfather passed away. After reading the story I remembered of the time that my parents hid a secret from my sister, brother, and I. They didn’t tell us that they were having problems paying for the house we had. There will always be secrets in our life because they don’t want to hurt us. Monday afternoon I was home and someone was calling the house phone and I decided to answer the phone as I answered the phone they told me that the bank already sold the house and that the person who bought the house was going Friday to see the house.

At that time, I was in six grade and I didn’t want to leave because I didn’t know anyone where we were going to move.

    Imagine a world where secrets cannot be told. People would be punished if they told a secret. That wasn 't really true; telling secrets was actually a helpful concept, and there were reasons why people should tell secrets. The book "The Bloody Souvenir" by Jack Gantos portrays a story about a boy who did not like to tell the truth and didn 't learn that critical situations are best told immediately at the end. The short story "Too many Tamales" by Gary Soto describes the story of a girl who wants to wear her mom 's ring but thinks that it got dropped into the tamales, but her mom actually wore it the whole time.

    Furthermore, Guterson accurately depicts the terror and hatred felt upon the Japanese Americans after World War II. Sergeant Victor Maples presents an unfair testimony about Kabuo’s dexterous kendo skills as he states “No it would not surprise Sergeant Victor Maples to hear that Kabuo Miyamoto had killed a man with a fishing gaff. He is highly capable of such a deed” (285). Judging whether a person can kill another man is impossible and prejudicial; there are too many variables to accurately predict if a man is capable of killing another man solely based on his ethnicity’s history. To think that Kabuo would commit murder just because his ancestors were highly trained in it is completely biased and unreasonable; there is absolutely no way to

  • The Importance Of Moving To Florida

    The winter before my 12th birthday, my parents decided that moving to Florida was a good idea, and although it 's a lovely state for tourism, Florida wasn 't the best place for a new start for us. My dad 's side of the family has lived in Pennsylvania for generations, so the move seemed to be a fresh start and an opportunity to settle down for good with nothing from the past interfering. Florida was supposedly cheaper, more child-friendly, and the perfect place for people to redeem themselves. Unfortunately, none of these tales held any truth because when we finally found an apartment, it was overpriced, dangerous, and filled with many others with the same idea as us.

    Since the rise of the heinous concoction that is the smartphone camera and social media, pretty much every encounter a celebrity has with a fan is recorded and posted somewhere on the world wide web. While it has stripped even more privacy away from their already extremely public private lives, the constant presence of fan-wielded cameras has worked out quite well for some celebrities. Guys like Tom Hanks and Bill Murray have undoubtedly benefited from having their good guy antics caught on video and posted to Facebook and Twitter. On the other hand, more than a few famous faces have been portrayed rather unflatteringly in fan made films. While you generally shouldn’t judge somebody based on 30 seconds of footage, it’s pretty difficult to view somebody like Justin Bieber in a positive light
