Once I went outside really quick and I stepped on a rusty nail. It really hurt but I was okay. I didn’t learn my lesson this time and a few months I went back outside and stepped on another rusty nail.

There are many types of shoes for different sports. There are cleats for softball, baseball, and soccer; there are high-tops for basketball, spikes for track, and many more.

They are like some tennis shoes but are usually made of a plastic or rubber material and have rubber or metal blades on the bottom. Basketball high-tops are used to protect the ankle and get a better grip on the floor. They are like tennis shoes but the ankle is higher up.

Sitting in the nurse's office, I called my parents and they said they would be there as soon as possible, but camp but a little over an hour away. I ate probably five popsicles while sitting in the nurse’s office, but they didn’t taste as exceptional as they usually do since I was in pain.

Article Analysis: The Shoemaker and The Revolution     Alfred F. Young wrote The Shoemaker and the Revolution to explain how a regular citizen could become such an active participant in the American Revolution.

In the story "The Destructors" by Graham Greene, the idea of materialism is explored through the character Old Misery and the destruction of the house which work together in the story.

" That is old Misery's name, and he was once a builder. Trevor wanted to destroy the house, and it wasn’t because he hated old misery; it was because he wanted to have fun, like in this quote, " "Of course, I don't hate him," T said.
