“The NY Trip” It was around Christmas when I found out that the school trip was to New York, and I was super excited! The only dilemma was that it was A LOT of money, considering that were not paupers, but we also aren't millionaires, so it was good that Christmas was right around the corner. Luckily Christmas helped defray a good chuck of the money that we had to pay. I also worked diligently at chores, and whenever I would go over to my grandparent’s house, I would ask what I could do around the house to earn money. Finally, after about four months, I got enough money to go on the trip, and I had some left over for spending money. The night before the trip was daunting me, and making my nerves were taking over me, and my words weren't lucid anymore.
That morning, I had to wake up at 4:45 AM because our flight was a seven in Ft. Lauderdale. At the airport, I saw a bunch of my friends, and we were jeering at me because I was really hyper. When we got on the plane, all of our jaws dropped in shock. The plane was HUGE! When we got on, I thought it was going to be mediocre, and boring, but boy I was I wrong. In fact, that was the only worry that I had, so when I got on, my friends were tantalizing me because I was so worried. While I was on the plane, I noticed one of my friends sitting next to me was trying to be unflinching, and trying to be strong because she hates planes. I tried to explain to her that traveling by air abridge the time need to get to far-distant places. After awhile I became a little irate, but I told her to be intrepid because planes are the safest form of transpiration there is. I was surprised that they didn't adjourn her from the plane!
When I first got on the plane, I watched a movie. The movie was about two men on a plane who were business partners. But turns out, one of the guys was a brigand, and he wanted to pilfer large and cumbersome items from the plane. But his partner

    “To David, About his Education” by Howard Nemerov, explains that education isn’t always as important as you think. Nemerov supports the fact that outside knowledge and experience are far greater amenities then education alone. Nemerov advocates his theme by using literary devices such as verbal irony and tone. Nemerov mocks the way children are traditionally taught by using the devices for sarcasm to balance the pretend seriousness he conveys in the poem. For example Nemerov states, “The world is full of mostly invisible things… to find them out, things like how many times Byron goes into Texas… you have to go to school and study books.”…

    I see some rare and different qualities between the characters in these stories. First, in “The Rocking Horse Winner” the main character Paul is the son of two unlucky parents. This is shown as Paul overhears his mother talking about her unlucky streak. The young boy then starts seeing luck as money because if money and luck bring happiness, they must somehow be intertwined. In the story, it is this mindset that pushes Paul over the edge to become some sort of hero. The mother does not love Paul, much as described in the story, but when she sees the change in Paul for the worse she immediately begins to worry as most mothers would for a suffering son. The father of Paul is mentioned, but they do not say much about him, except he works in town and previously had a gambling problem. Uncle Oscar and Bassett are just riding on the coat tails of Paul, trying to hold on until something breaks.…

    In Time and Tide by Tim Winton, and Martin and the Hand Grenade by John Foulcher, a range of complex ideas and techniques are used to create an atmosphere of inner conflict, and physical conflicts that can arise as a result. Winton looks at the conflicts of wasteful human use of the ocean to further their own economic wants and needs, and in extension the effect that this has on him. Foulcher explores the effect that conflict within a classroom can have on the students involved, and in the composer himself. While both are set in different times and places, both composers similarly conclude that the effects of human beings on their surrounding can lead to change and growth, in both the texts and the responders.…

    Belonging can be defined in many ways as there is no exact meaning, though belonging can be defined as a sense of enlightenment felt when an individual gains an understanding of themselves in relation to others and the world around them. The feeling of belonging does depend on a strong relationship between people that has been developed over a period of time either short or long. In the film ‘strictly ballroom’ the director Baz Luhrmann clearly shows how the protagonist’s develop a sense of acceptance towards each other as the film progresses and this allows their relationship to strengthen over time. Also in the poem ‘wind and window flower’ written by Robert Frost the theme of relationships and depicts the idea of unrequited love.…

    A hero is a man noted for his special achievements according to the dictionary, but if you ask most people what a hero is, you will get the same general response. They will probably say someone who does something for other people out of the goodness of his heart. Odysseus, who is the main character of the story, "The Odyssey" told by Homer, would fit the dictionary's definition of a hero; but if you go deeper, looking at what people feel a hero is, he doesn't even come close. In the book, Odysseus does nothing out of the goodness of his heart. Even if Odysseus fought in the Trojan War, he is not a hero because he is self-centered and ignorant to other peoples' values and needs.…

    This quote means that you have many moments in life that are simply just to take up time and carry one throughout the years but memories are much more important and stay in one’s head forever with no time limit. This quote is significant to the two novels Rush Home Road and Kite Runner because each protagonist has a past that they carry with them throughout their years. Their memories of tragedy are with them forever and there is no way of escaping them permanently. In the novels Rush Home Road by Lori Lansens and Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini, the protagonists, Addy and Amir, are constantly drawn back home by recalling difficult memories, through adoption, and with the idea that they have a mission to complete.…
