night and am flying home in a few hours. I was awakened this morning by the alarm clock and then loud TV sounds from the room next door to me. My immediate response was to be bothered and a bit frustrated. Then I realized "I am in California! The beach is literally outside my window and God gave me a glorious day to get up and go enjoy!" So I listened to God and got out of bed and was going to take the hotel van into town to get a coffee and paper when I noticed a sign saying "bikes for rent"-- so

This tone is set to show the value and possibilities of

I believe that these two characters are similar through more than just misfortunes‚ but on a physical and a mental level as well. Both characters go through traumatic

For this Field report‚ I visited a wooded area that is near the beach in Chesapeake Beach. From a quick glance‚ I saw a combination of mature trees and young trees. Since I can see that the trees lost their leaves during the Fall‚ I will state that they are deciduous trees. They shed their leaves through the process of abscission.
