an old and badly torn edition of Highlights. From
the short distance she could tell that the child

health and it...

As far back as I can remember, I have always liked
going out to eat. Two of my favorite restaurants
are Jakes and McDonalds. Though both are places to
dine they have their differences in their
ambiance, waiting, and expense. When deciding
where to go to eat, I have three things to think
about. I must consider the atmosphere or where I

and the use of words which describe the sounds as
they happened, all add to his vivid description of
the summer storm. Huck's reaction is unusual
because up to this point in the story the
impression of Huck that the reader has is one of a
