Letter To Harry Houdini
Hello, I’m Sami Marsh, seventh grader at Potomac Middle School in Dumfries, Virginia. I would like to nominate Harry Houdini for Person of the Year. Houdini could perform many captivating tricks; he was always outgoing towards his audience and never gave up on anything. I know what you’re thinking, “Why would I consider a child’s proposal?” Well, if you have the time to look at or glance at a “child’s” paper, you must have time to read my letter. As you see as you read on, I can make a very sharp point. Harry Houdini had many tricks ‘up his sleeve’ that very few people know the secrets too. One of which is him getting out of police handcuffs (instead of his own handcuffs, proving the trick) without a key. He had tons more tricks that amateurs

    In 1894, Erich launched his career as a professional magician and renamed himself Harry Houdini, the first name being a derivative of his childhood nickname, “Ehrie,” and the last an homage to the great French magician Jean Eugène Robert-Houdin. Though his magic met with little success, he soon drew attention for his feats of escape using handcuffs. In 1893, he married fellow performer Wilhelmina Beatrice Rahner, who would serve as Houdini’s lifelong stage assistant.…

    It is a pleasure to nominate Dave Giles for the "Most Outstanding Person" award. He is a former alumni of Carl Sandburg College. My first impression of Dave came in 2012 when he gave hands-down the best speech on the importance of education that I had ever heard. He truly enjoys spending his time helping the community's youth. He has also continued to live up to that impression of being a passionate man who is optimistic, supporting, and is as committed to children as he is to bettering our society.…

    I think that Harry Houdini did a lot of dangerous things because some people copy his trick so he did harder tricks and he they could not do it. He went inside a milk can and he said people to hold their breath with him 2 minutes pass and they said was he drowning and he went on gasping for breath.He stayed there because he gets money and he does impressive stuff and a lot of people get entertained.And what he did was that he put a lot of needles in his mouth, then he pulled it out and they were tangled up.I know that he is famous because there was an old pocket for sale that had HH it meant Harry Houdini and it costed 8,625 dollars.…

    Let's talk about Harry Houdini, The great escape artist in the world and a great magician. I think Harry Houdini would never become famous if he wouldn’t become an escape artist. Because he is a great hallucinator and his famous Hindoo Needle trick shocked the audience. That's why it would be interesting to see him. I am going to convince you that magic is what made him famous.…

       Recently, some disturbing information was brought to my attention about one of Lyman Highschool's staff members. While in one of the restrooms I oveheard a convorsation about one of the theachers here at Lyman: Mrs. Neris. The other students were talking about a transgender student (who I personally do not know) and one of the mentioned that Mrs. Neris had given that student a referal for using the boy's restroom. (the student is originally female.) I was absolutely shocked, disgusted, and appalled. I felt so bad for that student. I can't imagine how embarassing and belittling that could feel. I know that a main goal of lyman higschool is to create a safe and comfortable learning environment where students can feel accepted…

    As readers, the aspect we love most about a story is the development of characters. Through good character development we can come to love or hate them. J.K. Rowling has created a vivid cast to carry the increasingly complex Harry Potter series. There is great depth range in the cast from evil witches to house elves. Rowling does a good job in the transition of the characters thoughts and emotions as they continue to learn and grow throughout their years at Hogwarts. Albus Dumbledore and Hermione Granger are just two out of many characters that are important to the story but really do not change throughout the series. Then there are more dynamic characters like Harry Potter and Ron Weasley. All though Harry is the main character, Ron is more your average joe, easily relatable to us. Throughout the series we see how Ron's his family dynamics, friendships with Harry grows, and his ambition to succeed.…
