Through the sarcasm, Campbell is able to achieve his goal because the readers see the issue, of Americans infiltrating The Bahamas, more clearly while allowing them to take a more serious approach to intervene. In similar fashion, Meichos-Glinton also inserts sarcasm into her work like when she says, “Who came up with football- the satisfying variety where a whole bunch of men...pile up on the little guy…and leave the runner brain damaged….” This is a very sarcastic statement. Even though Glinton-Meicholas knows that football is intended to entertain and improve athleticism, she still chooses to highlight the negative aspects like resulting injuries because it is originally an American sport. By using sarcasm, Glinton-Meicholas accomplishes
As we headed out of the Keys, we stopped at a Chinese restaurant and had some lunch. We all thought the buffet was okay but it could have been better. Finally getting to our hotel at 10:00 pm, we were exhausted. I dont think it even took us 15 minutes to fall asleep.
This summer, my church took a missions trip to Puerto Penasco. It wasn 't the easiest trip to plan, seeing we only had two months to plan for it, and pay for it. Yes, this trip was spontaneous, and we worked very hard to get the money for it. It was a hot day when I and the rest of the missions team got out of the airplane in Phoenix, Arizona.
I smiled gently as my feet sunk into the warm sands of the Punta Cana coast. During a short snorkeling expedition on the magnificent coral reefs, I was abruptly awoken by a loud series of bangs. Who was outside the door this time of night? As the banging got louder, my anger quickly morphed into terror. My mind began racing with the infinite possibilities awaiting me outside the safety of my bedroom.
It was a hectic day. My friend had to call and have his grandparents pick him up which took about 45 minutes because they lived kind of far away. During that time, my dad told me “pack your bags, we need to go visit your grandmother” I remember that I didn’t pack much because I couldn’t think. My mom immediately booked us plane tickets to Portland. It was super close but we made the flight.
When we got on the plane, I finally settled down long enough to make it through an awesome Diego movie. After the movie, I just took a nap the rest of the way home which was great for my
My Trip to Haiti It was the beginning of my junior year in high school and there had been much talk about a school trip to Port Au Prince, Haiti, Only ten students could attend this trip, applications had opened up in November and for me a trip to Haiti sounded like just a dream, I thought I was not able to afford it. The idea for the possibility to travel to a new country and be exposed to a brand new culture excited me, I made the decision to apply anyway. In December, I received news that I had been chosen as one of the first ten students from my school to go on this new service trip. I was so excited that I was even qualified, but also worried because I knew that the price was still an issue.
my mom yelled from another room. “Yes mom I’m awake.” We met our friends at Cape Canaveral. The drive was about two hours long.
O is for ocean. I went to the ocean twice in my whole life. I went to Florida and Texas. I went to Florida when I was a baby. Then I went to Texas two years ago when I was eleven.
After we packed up all our stuff my dad said” Everyone go to bed, so we can wake up fresh in the morning and get the trip started”. So, we all went to bed. I can barely sleep thinking about all the fun were going to have. After about 15 minutes everyone was sound asleep and so was I.
It took about an hour for us to get on the next plane ride. Well we were on the plane this one I slept the entire trip I was so tired from waking up at 3 o'clock in the morning. especially with all the excitement it just drains all your energy. It was 4 o'clock in the afternoon when we reach Orlando, Florida. The first couple minutes were a little busy.
When I was only a couple of months old my mom and I were stuck in an airport due to delayed flights. The only luggage we had was my diaper bag and a backpack full of baby toys. I was miserable and cranky the whole entire time which didn’t make my mom feel better. At the time I had no idea what was going on but now that will be stamped in my memories forever.
The hotel room was surprisingly big so we had a lot of room to relax. The entire time we were in the hotel we slept because we did not sleep much before so we slept pretty much til the morning. When we woke up someone told us that the cruise will be held back a day because there was a huge storm and the people on the cruise are checking the boat to make sure it was not damaged. Later we heard that the cruise was fine. When we got on the cruise it was so big and amazing.
The day came it was early morning, bird singing, warm temperature, and a beautiful blue sky perfect weather. I woke up and it was fishing time, I was so excited. I remember my room being so messy and my parents told me to clean before we left, so I did. I was so excited that I cleaned my room and did some other chores around the house so fast cause I just wanted to go fishing. We got to the car and left to rocky mountain at our fishing spot and I was just being like most annoying kid would say, "Where are we?", "Are we lost?", and "Are we there yet?
Everyone was wondering what the Philippine would look like and how we were going to build houses. After the pilot made the announcement of taking off, the plane lifted off the runway. We arrived in Manila at night, everybody was so exhausted that we went to bed as soon as we reached our
