What can anyone say about September eleventh 2001? Just about everyone would say that it was a tragedy, a dark day for New Yorkers, one of the worst days in American history and huge wake up call for the US. Anyone who has said any of these would be correct, but 9/11 wasn’t just that. While it was a tragic event that took the lives of many good Americans, it also brought out one of the greatest things about America, the strength and fortitude of its people. After 9/11 the American people pulled together

The person that I trusted with my life, even more that I could ever trust anyone. The girl that I thought I wouldn't see until my 16th Birthday. My twin sister, Carolyn Alyssa Hastings. We just stayed there, looking at each other. It seemed like forever since I last saw her, well technically I always saw her, she look just like me but it felt so nice to finally actually see HER. We were best friends since before I even had memory. Not matter what she was always there for me when mom and dad choose

how it seemed like everything was “predestined” and everything was inevitable. No matter what he or she does, the outcome will forever and always turn out the same. No matter how many attempts the time traveler made to change events in the past would just result in that person playing a role in creating the event trying to prevent, and not changing it at all. There was nothing any of them could do. All these events were predestined to happen the same way over and over again, just like how John wanted

you forever. On the other hand, what can you do if someone that was supposed to be an important part of your life passes away before you even got a chance to build memories with him? If I was given an opportunity to travel back in time to any time period or to witness any event, I would journey to Hong Kong, China during the 1980s because that was the time when my paternal grandfather was healthiest, blissful and alive. When I was a year old, my grandfather died of a lung infection. Nothing would

All Christians know this passage, and many have memorized it. And yet, many Christians do not fully understand what the passage actually means. They know they have been saved by grace through faith. That is, they know that their sinful nature separated them from God, who is holy (the opposite of sinful), and that they therefore were dead in their sins, unable to have peace with God. In other words, the payment for sin is death - eternal separation from God. They also realize that they could

Lost and Found I remember reading something that said “The value of friendship is seldom known until it is lost". Wow! That statement is so true; I feel it in my gut. When you have someone in your life you just expect them to be there forever. That is not often the case, people and things have a way of disappearing. You must remember to treasure the good times because you can never get those times back. I am personally talking about pets, but it could be for anyone. I was just thinking about my

symbolic of our ‘selves’. Why aren’t we told to enrich our voyage with experiences as enthralling as the adventures of Alice in Wonderland? Perhaps that is the reason why we fade into a world of our own every now and then. Because the outside world has nothing to offer (or so it may seem…), we seek our “Some place far away…” within ourselves… There’s a difference between loneliness and solitude… The strangest thing is that in spite of having encountered both these emotions, none of us have the acumen of

Chosen Audience: I chose to write to anyone out there interested in a military love story tragedy. This is meant to entertain and fill my audience with emotion. Love Means Forever From birth, Jaquelyn and William were attatched at the hip. Their mothers, whom were best friends since early childhood always said their children would be best friends. The two young women Aly and Gracelyn met in elementary school one chilly fall day on the playground. They were born and raised in a small

Tulsa Oklahoma, Ponyboy goes through trials with some of his best buddies. I think that one of the best themes showed in the book is staying gold even when things around you are changing. I think this because they talk about Robert Frosts poem "Nothing Gold can Stay" (77) Secondly the book talked about people through out the book doing golden things to help the greasers out, and lastly before Johnny passes he tells Ponyboy to stay gold. First of all I think that one of the best themes from this

it was easier to stay in bed each morning, coiled in the foetal position, firmly tucked away from the fears and tears that the coming day had in store? Have you been so low and alone that what you really would prefer would be to just… fade away? Nothing, it seems, can save you from this most overwhelming blackness mixed with a series of irrational fears about your future or current situation. These fears are so strong that they really border paranoia. You also believe that no one other than you ever
