starting to like it at first. I had a lot of fun
playing the games and meeting the people. Everyone
excepted me for who I was. Even some of the older
kids liked me! The fact that I am smart and like
to read books helped me connect with the older
boys. Because of my intelligence I was made
captain for many events. First of all I was voted

up to keep us in order. Also, I was the captain of

Trebor Visits The New World

out of this diminutive space. He did not know why,
but something impelled him to get out of his room.
As he turned the doorknob, he felt a chill that
took over his body. When the door opened, Trebor
realized he was in a cubicle. The bleak room gave
him a languid feeling. Trevor was skeptical of
what he was seeing. As he turned around to exit
this incredulous room, he noticed the door was
gone. Where the door had once stood was a window.

Scout And Jem Boo Radley
557 words
The definition of a good father is as individual
as the individuals involved themselves. A good
father is able to support his children's
strengths, along with being able to help them
overcome their weaknesses. He is able to do this
without appearing to be a know-it-all. The ability
to show by example how to live life, while not
being afraid to make mistakes and not to be
perfect all the time are also very important
characteristic. Atticus was by that definition a
very good father. Whenever Scout...

Hundred Feet Eight Hundred

The quest for travel has always been one that man
has tried to conquer. First, he traveled on foot,
and then developed methods of transportation such
as boats, but one of the first obstacles that he

waterways, and canals. Today, bridges have become
a part of everyday life; hence without them,
people would have a much more difficult time going
from one place to another. In the United States
alone, there are more than half a million bridges

likely to be attacked than a heterosexual man.
This fact has been iterated so much by the media
over the past few weeks that it would be a
challenge to find one Scot who could not quote it
accurately. One would think that this alarming
statistic could be greatly improved if people were
educated from an early age in the aspects of
homosexuality, and taught, even if not to agree
with it, at least to be tolerating towards it.
Why, then, is there suc...

War Of 1812 Straight Lines

The topic of this book was about how the United
States was unprepared when they fought the British
and how the war didnt really have a meaning. The
United States had very small forces so therefor
they were not prepared when the fought the
British. Not to mention the carelessness of
William Hull. Since the treaty didnt solve the
problems that Great Britain and the United States
had, the war had no purpose. The time in which it
took place was between the years of 1784 and 1814.

dropping the papers. As we journey further into
the trial, Thomas confidence grows. At first, he
is not very confident, and this can be seen in his
stance - not...
