What is that on your hands? Didnt you wash them?
In elementary school, those were common questions
that I was asked by my peers in response to the
reddish-brown designs on my hands. Occasionally I
would keep my hands in a fist, just so I wouldnt
have to deal with those questions. My answer to
them was always, Its Henna, and YES, I did wash my
hands. At that point my answer was rather simple,
as I was not prepared with a ten-minute speech for
them as I am today. Henna is a natural dye
utilized wo...

fearless warrior and grows into an aged prudent
king. From the beginning of his life as a warrior

Where The Red Fern Grows

The book Where the Red Fern Grows is a great story
about a boy named Billy and his two dogs. The book
is written by Wilson Rawls. He did an outstanding
job in describing some of Billy's thoughts and
feelings. Mr. Rawls has really outdone himself
this time. If it isn't obvious, I really liked
this book. I really liked the part when Billy got
his two dogs, Little Ann and Old Dan. He saved all
of his money for those dogs. He had big plans of
the three of them being a hunting team. This goes
to show...

pertinent to the subject of how communication is

young guest had never had to use a rotary
telephone. Confronted with this icon of past
technology, Aaron went away with a new experience
to relate. Another guest, upon hearing of Aarons
plight, related a similar expe...

and one which spread to virtually all of the
