Taking This Trip Birth Country China
610 words
My parents immigrated to Canada in 1990 to escape
the tyranny of the Chinese government and to build
a better life in Canada. After listening to their
stories of hardships and frustrations, I realized
how fortunate I was to be living in the country I
now called home. When the day came to revisit my
homeland, I felt uncertain and nervous. Would I

the concerns that were racing through my mind. But
as the trip progressed, I realized how much I

Bill Gates Time Traveller
1,332 words

more scientific, the imaginary device referred to
as the time machine has gained many prospective
engineers over the years. Young boys ponder
thoughts of returning to Jurassic times in a time

princesses in castles. Even as we grow older, we
fancy that such an appliance might help us revoke

back to yesterday when we bought that lotto
ticket. Certainly, ...

Streetcar Named Desire One Can Understand

and unimportance. The 50 s brought in the music of
Elvis Presley, and Jerry Lee Lewis and the
entertainment value of the Annie Oakley show. All
of which had a certain revolutionary quality.
Elvis brought America sex appeal and caused what
was later seen as a great loss of morality among
