United estates have so many historical places that have become popular because of its attractions such as West Virginia, Brooklyn, new York, Largo Key, Miami and others, On last summer my classmates and I decided to do a field trip to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. We chose this place because of its historical monuments, arts museums and literacy writer’s backgrounds.
To begin with, Philadelphia is fuelled of historical places. One of the most popular is The Independence Hall. It is known primarily as the location where both the Declaration of independence and the United States Constitution were debated and adopted. Another historical place is The Congress Hall, during Congress Hall duration as the capital of the United States; the Congress admitted three new states and oversaw the presidential inauguration of both George Washington and John Adams.
Second, Philadelphia has very attractive museums. The American Helicopter museum is one of them, this museum has many exhibit of how copters actually work and how they differ from fixed wing aircraft. Also, there are some helicopter on public display that people can climb on and fiddle with the dials, switches and pedals.
Finally, Philadelphia has a very particular place which is the Edgar Allan Poe National Historic site. This is a preserved home once rented by American author Edgar Allan Poe. Though Poe lived in many houses over several years in Philadelphia (1837 to 1844), it is the only one which still survives. The site combines both Poe's former residence and two adjoining houses which were not built until after Poe left Philadelphia. The rooms of the house are left in arrested decay and are not furnished to look like they did during Poe's time.
In conclusion, United States historical places have become popular because of its attractions. We enjoy the museums and monuments of our fieldtrip to Philadelphia. Just as we did, there are many groups of

However, this is not the case in the more than one hundred year old, light grey, two story home in which I live. The main attraction of this particular living room is the comforting atmosphere and warm fires that take place in the wood-burning fireplace.…

    It was a hot muggy afternoon during the early season of fall. The wind was strong that day, the force blowing against my hair causing it to rise and fall as the wind came and left without warning. I could feel the sun beating down upon my back, causing my body to fight against the heat to stay cool. The constant sound of voices ring in my ears and throb my forehead. I was at the picnic table outside the bridge of Bryant place, and it was the most busy and uncomfortable place on campus at that time.…

    The summer before entering my freshman year of high school was one of the most memorable and completely magical summers of my life due to the fact that my family and I went on an amazing vacation together. We all decided to take a wonderful two week vacation to Hawaii. We stayed on the beautiful island of Maui because my aunt decided to get married there. My aunt’s wedding was one reason we stayed on Maui but also because Maui is less populated with tourists then any of the other islands. There were many other things that made it amazing like the native people and the environment. My experience there was just really incredible for so many reasons and I can’t wait to go back. Although there were many reasons why this vacation was unbelievably incredible, I can only say a few. My trip to Hawaii was amazing because of the beautiful beaches, the weather, and my aunt’s wedding.…

    My bedroom is a cozy, yet quiet place to come to. It may not be the biggest of many bedrooms, but when you walk in the white oak door you see the four walls painted a tan color. There is also white trimming lining the walls. Everything in my room is white, black, or tan. If you are to look to your left when you walk in you see a black 20 inch flat screen hanging on the wall, and below it there is a black oak dresser with a bunch of random accessories on the top of it. There is another door along the north wall that is an entrance to my walk in closet that is cluttered with clothes. Along that same wall is my black wood desk that is held up by 2 steel legs that has a black wood chair with steel legs as well. On the south wall my queen black bed lies in the middle of the wall with brown zebra print bedding along with my one and only green pillow. Next to my bed there is a black floor lamp and on the other side of my bed there is a small bronze colored fan lying on top of a end table. My walls are bare less except for a pair of windows with white shades that are located straight across from the doorway over looking my neighbors. To the left of the windows there are 4 whisked brown baskets hanging on the wall, to the right of the windows you see a black body length mirror hanging on the wall. In front of my mirror on the wood floor lays a straightener, and a hair dryer. Also above my bed there are three 3X4 black canvases that have a pink, white, and yellow Gerber daisy painted on each individual one.…

    Sitting at my desk at home, a crushing feeling crept up on me. I didn’t know what to think. I’m not going to make it, am I. It was already midway through junior year of high school, and having just calculated my GPA requirements for many of the colleges I had wanted to go to, I realized that my grades were not even close to what I expected them to be. I guess I had been in denial for so long that I let them slip this far. How could I have let this happen? Where was my mind when I needed to study and do homework? Why did so many stupid things like watching T.V. or going out with friends or just mindlessly waste my time on the internet? I felt an awful combination of disappointment, anger, panic, and frustration. There was no way to fix this in my mind. My future college acceptance letters seemed bleak. What should I do next?

    On a hot, sunny day a great place to go is to the beach. I would go out to the beach to enjoy the water, the sun, or just to be with family and friends. There are so many things about the beach that makes it a calming and soothing place. The most obvious objects that stand out are the sights, and sounds, but most definitely the beautiful landscape. The less noticeable when going to the beach are the smell and most of all taste. There is nothing to dislike about going to the beach except the seagulls that are flying around looking for something to attack. Going to the beach is like the first and last warm summer day after a long cold and tormenting winter season.…

    My first day of school started out like any other day. It was dull, slow, and early in the morning. I wake up to a mixture of both my alarm ringing louder than band horns and my mother yelling at me to get up. The first thing I do is put some music on. While I jam to the speaker playing, Im pulling out clothes and making outfits to wear. After about fifteen minutes I finally find one. I put my clothes on and as usually I fool around either picking a song or on my phone sending daily early morning text messages or making early morning phone calls.…

    Throughout our lives we meet many people. We impact others by our own actions every day. Sometimes we impact them without even realizing it. And people will impact our lives and our hearts forever.

    I have always been fascinated by scary rides. It amazes me that average, ordinary people eagerly trade in the serenity of the ground for the chance to be tossed through the air like flower in a fruit processor. It amazes me that at some time in history someone thought that people would enjoy this, and that person invented what must have been the first of these terrifying machines. For me, it is precisely the thrill and excitement of having survived the ride that keeps me coming back for more.…

    The thin mound of rewarding foam that separated my lips from that first sip of scorching hot coffee mimics a snow capped mountain that I could hold in the palm of my hand. This 16 ounce cup of deep brown coffee altered in color by the rich off white creamer making it a smooth caramel tint packed a powerful punch, when I know I’ll be going for unforgiving amount of time it makes for a quick boost in the morning.

    I take my first step and duck my head into the too small plane. My nerves start to electrify as the realization sinks in that I am going to be in a different country in less than two hours. The minutes seem to drag on and on as I listen to the guy next to you snoring and the kid behind me kicks the back of my chair. The pilots' rough voice comes on the intercom and says "Howdy folks, just wanna let you know that we are getting ready to land and we should be there in about ten short minutes.". Then I listen carefully, but don't understand anything the Mexican lady is saying. Ten minutes go by and I hear the screeching and squealing of the airplane's tires as they hit the Mexican runway. I feel as if I've spent decades waiting for this moment and I can't believe that its finally here.…
