As the day continued he knew that in a few hours, the sun would be at its zenith. The heat lasted until midnight, and throughout the day he had to carry his jacket, but when he was gonna complain, he remembered that the jacket had own purpose just like himself.

One stormy night the Ravenel Family were sitting at the dining table. Kelly, my mom, Jordan my sister, Dave my dad, and me of course. All you could hear the tree 's branches hitting the window, the wind howling to the beat of the rain. There with all that music my parents were whispering very nervously. Then suddenly, the light started flickering, the room darkened nothing was heard but the trees, the wind, and rain.
The large fire in the centre of the room looks very inviting, burning silently and flickering beautiful colours of orange, red and occasional flashes of yellow. The tables contain, much to my delight, huge bouquets of

The mountains glow and shine from the light of the stars, and the houses blend in with the dark mountains on the left. The wind is making a swirling and pattern effect, while the stars are glowing.
Immigration is not a new concept; on the contrary, it’s what established this country. The founding fathers were immigrants themselves, or they were descended from them. Instead of defending our borders from people just like our founders, we should be open and welcoming to them because “It would be a tragedy if America were to turn toward a false sense of security just when… the real solution is so obvious from our own American heritage” (Johnson and Kane).

With that in consideration, the logical and humanly thing to do is to honor our rich history by
It was an early, dark winter’s morning in January. As I walked into a warm lobby rolling my bag behind. There was a rush of people going every which way; you would never have guessed it was 6 in the morning. Everyone seemed so awake and ready for the day ahead of them.
