So he went through a song (which, by the way, is much more musically interesting and educational than the ones on Barney) where he weighed all the fun he had with his friend against the momentary pleasure of a cookie, and decided that he would rather give the cookie to his friend. On Barney, even if the situation came up (which it clearly wouldn't, because there are always enough treats to go around), they would have just smiled and immediately broken the cookie in half. Well, from...

Chill Ran My Spine Thoughts Were Lost Road
1,035 wordsThe movie had just ended and the picture on the television set screamed black and white fuzz. My eyes shifted to the window and were greeted by the same picture as that on the television. It had begun sleeting earlier that day. Later it turned to snow, which was still pelting the white-blanketed earth. After reading the time from my watch, three-thirty a. m. , I decided I should probably head for home. My mind was thinking of the basketball practice our coach had graciously scheduled for seven o...

Personality Traits Material Things
1,457 wordsWhat is the first thought that is brought to mind when the word inheritance is said? Money is most certainly the answer. For some reason, our culture has adopted inheritance to mean solely money. Sadly, people expect to collect from their parents deaths. Most, of course, are not proud of this fact, but, all in all, they still expect. I cant say Im much different without lying. Im not ashamed that I want my parents money when they pass on. That doesnt mean I want them to die more quickly. There a...

Why Athletes Are Good Role Models
1,477 wordsEver since the ancient years, we have admired athletes and the hard work that they do to achieve their goal of winning. We idolize them and wish we were more like them. What happens though when the realization sinks in that they are human too and that some of them do get greedy and selfish? A lot of athletes are model citizens that you should really look up to, but there are also some bad apples in the bunch that ruin it for everyone. Athletes can inspire young people to work hard so that their ...

Lies My Teacher Told Me By James Loewen
1,271 wordsLies My Teacher Told Me by James Loewen James W. Loewen, in my opinion, makes a very valid argument in Lies My Teacher Told Me. He argues that teaching (of history) today relies too much on the textbooks which glorify the United States and its imperfect leaders and heroes. His examples, in fact, are very surprising to those most unfamiliar, or deceived, in their understanding of American History and are painfully obvious to those fairly educated in the events of our nations past. Personally, I a...

Thanksgiving Dinner Rich Kid Mother

A less than heart warming movie about a misunderstood little rich kid and his mothers working class boyfriend traveling home for thanks giving dinner. They go on to a have a not so exciting adventure with a totally ridiculous story driving this train wreck. Not only is everything that happens in this story totally unbelievable.
