Mardi Gras saved Toorie

Slito had been sitting in the same chair for hours, zoned out staring into the huge orange ball that illuminated his land; his land had been deemed Toorie. Slito himself was a tall, slender Toorian; he had strikingly attractive features and a domineering presence. Slito had probing green eyes; the type of eyes that could see inside of one's soul to their inner most workings. This gave him a huge advantage in any interaction for he could see through anyone to what was really going on inside them. He was the only of all Toorian's to have this ability, or of anyone as far as the Toorian's were concerned. Slito's deep green probing eyes were undoubtedly the reason for his rise into the political power of Toorie. There was one thing sure Slito was not to be reckoned with especially during his problematic times, such as now.

Jason awoke at around noon, like always, to the scorching New Orleans heat ready to do what he did everyday--nothing. Jason was pretty much the Average Joe: six foot, 185 and brown hair. For the most part Jason's life had been nothing but an embarrassment. He was not 23, however before graduating high school he had been kicked out of five schools. In fact, it was somewhat of a miracle that he graduated. It was quite the task for his parents to continue to find schools that would accept him. After his upsetting high school career, especially to his Father, he went on to the local community college, which like high school did not work out too well. Jason felt like today was a good day Mardi Gras started today, maybe he was going to find 20 $. If only Jason knew he was in for something much greater than a twenty dollar bill today.

Finally after hours of procrastination, Slito rose from his chair and walked into the adjacent room. There Slito joined his colleague and life-time friend Tito. Tito, like Slito, had a purplish blue color skin, as well as a tall slender structure. In fact, almost all Toorian's looked the same they

    Answer: first of all is the lack of his economy problem; he rather buys the jacket on the street than in the store, because he thought he never got the good deals in stores. He didn’t fully pay the man who had sold him the blue down jacket; he decided to pay him later when he had the money, then he bet with the guy Julio $20 who wants him to stand outside in the middle of the parking lot for 20 minutes while it was raining if he could make it. He’d also be the first person in all the generations of his family to graduate. Ms Johnson knew that every day he was tempted to drop out and find a job to help support his large family.

    One’s final moments often leave many questions. “What will my final thoughts be?” or “What would my final statement to the world be?” Reflections on death are often avoided because death can be terrifying but, if forced to think about it, what would you do in the final moments of your life? The author of An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge, Ambrose Bierce, wants the reader to focus on his or her final moments and how they might unfold. The author is able to make the reader feel as though he or she is actually sharing the protagonist, Peyton’s, terrifying experience and provokes reaction and deep feeling. The plot is intriguing, unique and takes the reader on an emotional rollercoaster. By using character development, the author is able to make the main character personable and relatable. Additionally, the setting and it’s description, pulls the reader into the text and transports him/her to Peyton’s world. The author hooks the reader with these elements and ultimately forces him or her to reflect on his/her last moments of life.…

    Even though Jason got his lunch, he was still irritated. He murmured, “Way too many people in this world.” As Jason was walking to work he bumped into a homeless man, better known as one of The Plague. The Plague were a group of people who Jason thought sullied the name of America (VSB). Because they are homeless and unnumbered, they are thought of as America’s mistakes.

    When I was born, my mother cried tears of joy as she held me for the first time. As she looked into my eyes, she imagined the future we would have together. She thought about the booties I would wear to cover my tiny feet, the pouty faces I would make when I get upset, and even the sleepless nights that I would cause. I was lucky enough to have a mother who saw t he bright side of the hardships she would face while raising me, but I wonder what life would be like if I was raised differently, in a different culture or planet. I am not saying that I would want to be raised by an alien, dinosaur, or robot because that would be crazy, right? Well, maybe I am a little insane to say that I would be pleased if my mother left me at the hatches of a UFO for my alien parents to find me rather than leaving me to be devoured by dinosaurs or programed by robots.…

    Growing up, Jason was always the smartest kid in class. He was beating games at age five and had an eloquent vocabulary. At a young age my parents could see that he was a genius; my mom always joked how it was all the Chinese food she ate while she was pregnant with him.

This was a summer program where you live in a dorm, go to classes, and earn college credits at a young age. He continued this summer program every year until he graduated high school. After applying to multiple colleges, two schools he had dreamed of going to contacted him and let him know that he had received a fully paid scholarship. These schools were SMU and Yale University.
