It was one of the best nights in a long time. There I was looking at the most beautiful girl I had ever laid eyes on. I was truly the luckiest guy in all of the earth. Pearl was not only the sweetest woman I had ever met, but, also the one I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. Sure we had our ups and downs but in the end we loved each other and that was all that mattered. There was nothing standing in the way of us. Well, maybe one thing… or should I say person… Fortunato. You see, Fortunato was a rich man, richer than I’d ever be. His family pretty much owned the town and everything in it. He would always confront my girlfriend telling her about how happy he could make her and the wonderful life they could have together. I knew that this was true. Whenever I would ask pearl about him she would tell me not to worry and explained how she would never love him. These words would relieve me for short periods until the next time I heard of him addressing her. Fortunato was also a very persistent man and was not used to being told no to having things he wanted. Once he caused a ruckus so big I thought a war might break out. I feared that his endurance and his liking for my mistress would not benefit me at all and for this I was worried.…
Merida from the Disney Movie Brave is a very unique princess, and she is different than the other Disney princesses in many ways. Her roles are different than the traditional roles used in other Disney movies since she likes weapons and archery, does not want to become a princess, has a strong bond with her family and mother, and emotionally changes throughout the movie. Many Disney princesses do not change or like weapons, nor do they have a strong family bond or do not want to be a princess, yet this makes Merida different from the rest.…

I was born and raised in Austin, Texas however, my parents immigrated from Mexico. My father made his journey from Sombrerete, Zacatecas and my mother made her’s from Dolores Hidalgo, Guanajuato.

"Yeah, I can. And you forgot your stuff out here so I took it upon myself to pick out your outfit for the rest of the day." He pointed to some clothes on the edge of the bed. His eyes never leaving the TV screen. I went over to look at what he had picked out. "Don't just stand there and look at it. Put it on." He laughed, as I put the dress on and walked over to the mirror next to the bathroom door. I looked at every inch of myself in the dress. "What's wrong Melody? You don't like it?" He was now sitting on the edge of the bed.…

There once was this boy (lets just call him Fernando) who owned a thin, blue calculator, of course he didn't know it was a calculator at the time. He lived in a little town called Numberlessoplis, and in this town there was no such thing as numbers, math or even money. It was a peaceful town, not much greed or selfishness because there was no money. There life was almost perfect in Numberlessoplis, except for one little thing. There was only one of everything. One banana, one mayo jar, one tree, one problem, one huge house. But they didn't think that was such a bad thing, because of course they didn't know what they were missing out on. The only thing that there was a lot of, were people. They were discovering new things every day. But that was good because there lives were practically routine.…
I went on with my life, without Tulip Pierce I felt better, what she said was: “Natalie me and Tulip need to talk to you tomorrow after school in front of the cafeteria on the first floor. This chat will bring a smile on your face and will make you happy. Also the talk will also be about Tulip’s smiling at you every time you see her.” The next day the school went so slow that I almost slept in mathematics. I took my books and my jacket and went to the cafeteria. While I was walking I was thinking that Tulip sat a trap and was going to catch me and drag me to her basement so I can live there forever. I was so surprised after all that fear because Tulip looked normal then usual and her mouths opened and what came out of them was: “Look Natalie I am really sorry of how I acted before I was such an idiot. Could you possibly forgive me and we could possibly turn a blank new page with a fresh new start. I was so surprised with wide eyes that it only took me one second to realize it is definitely a yes and that’s what I said. Since then Tulip has and safer from all that trouble. I guess she is gone forever from my life if she doesn´t apologize or do something which I could really tell she misses me and I am proud of her. The strange thing is that every time she comes to school, which is only sometimes, she is hanging around a girl named something like Ruby, and Tulip is since then acting really nice which somehow bothers me as if she is going to get revenge on me with her little friend Ruby. I made a strong and tuff wall between us and I new soon will Ruby do that because she will get sick of Tulips games and her act of being good. One day Tulip and I were in a class and we had to work in groups, so the face that I made to…

Isabel Allende grew up amidst a massive struggle in her home country of Chile, where her uncle was assassinated for his political policies and she had to flee the country. However, out of the rough ground grew a rose—Allende’s literature. Many of her works are heavily inspired by her trying childhood, especially the short story “Simple Maria.” In “Simple Maria,” a story in which the main character that is a prostitute becomes mentally disabled after being hit by a locomotive, many ties can be drawn from the story to Allende’s childhood. Isabel Allende used this short story as an allegory to her own life and the struggles that she had to endure during her childhood.…
