With the sun beating down my burnt red skin it feels like someone is ripping off my skin. I head into the nicely air conditioned stores skimming through all the T-shirts and sweatshirts seeing if there is anything I would like. Next we I drag my feet to the go-kart arena get into the cold seat that is stabbing me in the back. I hear three. Two..
he first chapter of The Cold War: A New History begins by comparing the United States to the U.S.S.R. and talking about the similarities between the two. It also talks about Communism and how Marx deemed it necessary in order to build up the economy. Lenin tried to implement Communism in Russia. They were not quite ready for that kind of system, so Stalin tried to modernize the economy. The U.S.S.R. had more casualties in World War II, but things were not necessarily looking great in America either.
, I yelled with fear. I was hurtling towards a human. A little boy was sitting under a tree, I can tell he was going to squeeze me to death as I looked at his wicked face. I tried to fly towards the other direction but I wasn't strong enough to withstand the mighty winds. With only three seconds to live I am
Loud noises seemed to scare me, I have no idea why but screeching tires, Revving engines, screaming children, and even the occasional barking dog will get me on edge and paranoid. In my younger years I joined the US Air Force as a way to get away from everyday life, I just wanted to get out of the everyday monotony of work, sleep, wake, repeat. The only thing that brought me any kind of variety was my sweetheart back home, Hazel.

The 6:00 am alarm rings. I do not budge. 10 minutes pass. 15 minutes pass. 30 minutes pass.
Growing up, I have learned about both World Wars, the Cold War, The Vietnam War, and the War on Terrorism. As interesting as war can be and how much one can learn from a cultures because of war, I have grown tired of wars. I have gone to public school for all of my education and I have seen multiple cases of bullying and too many acts of rudeness. As I mature, I find myself coming to terms with the world and my life, I am becoming to love all of it. When I wake up, my favorite thing to do is step outside and inhale the brisk morning air and admire the world I live in.
Fall Hike in October I’m running out of my house, slamming the door behind me and shouting, “I’m free!” at the top of my air-filled pink lungs. I get a few weird looks from the neighbors that are outside and a few from even the one’s inside but they’re used to my usual crazy outbursts. I don’t know if I should be worried by that or not.
War changes Me: The time was August 1990, I was a young man at the age of 19. President Bush Sr. had put into motion what started off as Desert Shield, later escalating into Desert Storm due to Saddam Hussein taking over the country of Kuwait and making his way to the country of Saudi Arabia. The Marines where the first one’s in with boots on the ground. The time I spent in Desert Shield/Storm helped me transform me from a young boy into a responsible man, with oh so real events that became part of American History.
The sky is bursting with colors, like it’s on fire. My eyes are on fire. I pray. I hear a loud noise. It’s busted my eardrums, and I can’t hear.
I bolted upright to see what i could. However, I saw nothing. I could only reason that i'm still dreaming, but as my eyes adjusted, i could see the scene all too clear. I ran to my steps to see clouds of smoke filling my new home. I froze in disbelief, just trying to put together what was happening.
I didn't know who I was, or where I was. I was scared, so scared. Out of nowhere I started glowing, heating up everything around me. "Do you feel that? " I heard a faint voice ask.
Sarah Paroya D period I hate MUSH The end of World War II should have marked a period of relief in America but instead, it lead America into a completely different type of war called the Cold War.
