Election and Primary Colors had candidates who did change in some way during the campaign and/or pre-campaign. In Election, Tracy Flick is one of the main characters and only candidate in the run for student body president until she faces unexpected competition. Paul Metzler is her late-coming opponent, the football star at school, and is more popular and gets what he wants without working that hard. He is an honest, humble candidate who is true to himself throughout the campaign. In Primary Colors, Jack

Sitting on her bed, Emma stared down at her watch. It was the same watch given to everyone at birth. One that counted down to the moment she was going to meet her soul mate. Because most people met their soul mate by the time they were eighteen, Emma was considered odd at her school because she was seventeen and her watch still had over three years left. “Time for another day of school,” she thought as she got up, pulled on her Harry Potter t-shirt, grabbed her neon yellow backpack, and walked out
As I get out of the truck I prepare for what is ahead and what is behind. As I walk into the door the warmth of the band room graces my face like a warm spring wind on a cold winter night. As the faces of my band kin surround me in “hellos” and “good days”. We sit and listen as our mighty leader Greub Dog gives us a speech of hope and pride before we practice for the fierce battle that is ahead of us. As we take arms we get adrenalin flowing through us. As we spend what seems like years on the practice

That night we had no idea what hit us, a flash shot off from the right; my close friend colonel Robertson fell down beside me dead. I quickly dragged him to the medic in a vain attempt to save his life; there was no hope for a dead man to come alive. Now there were only thirteen of us left, thirteen out of twenty-four. We all thought we were going to die. I saw an orange glow off in the distance wondering what it could be. Suddenly, a loud whistle fills the air and an explosion lights the sky
Ocpti are quite gentle creatures. These cephalopods are quick, cunning and very adventurous. Unless they are in venery, they do not use their hypobranchial gland (ink sack), and rarely has there been cases of cephalopod attacks (http://www.thecephalopodpage.org/bluering2.php ).

Alicia and I talk Edna’s Steps The 2nd house next to the corner of Sacramento and 29th Street. The old brick house with the green hedges, green railing, and green lamp post in the yard. The old windows are cracked, shattered, and splintered. The steps made of concrete are completely collapsing under the constant rain. The humongous tree’s legs are uplifting the sidewalk. The ivy has taken over the house. Who would want to live here? The answer is my family and I. This is our home and it is the
I lean over him and brush a wet strand of hair out of his face. The scrape on my shoulder has scabbed over already, but my movement makes it throb again. Day sits up, rubs a hand wearily across his eyes, and glances around our swaying railcar as if searching for something. He looks first at the stacks of crates in one dark corner, then at the burlap lining the floor and the little sack of food and water sitting between us. It takes him a minute to reorient himself, to remember that we’re hitching
I slid into my heavy boots, picked up the rifle leaning against the wall, and took a long look at the woman next to me. She was beautiful, timid--a perfect wife. She’d been with me for five years, five long years I’d never soon forget. She worked at a nearby factory, assembling bullets for Arkadia. Watching her roll over in bed, I grabbed a hold of her arm, shaking her awake somewhat violently. She woke up, startled. “McKinley? Why are you awake so early?” she whispered. I looked towards the alarm

The activity was called blind drawing. Liam and I volunteered to go first. To complete the activity, I would be taking directions from Liam to depict a certain image. Therefore, the image was shown only

The 1960’s was a disturbed time for the people of Point Pleasant, as a formidable creature haunted the county. The beast was often then considered as a sign something chaotic was about to happen, as many disasters were followed by his witnesses. As this was such a popular conspiracy at the time, it might be useful to know exactly what this petrifying creature was.

Comment Powered by Sung-Ho Kim Shoemaker English Pd 2 6 October 2015 POV assignment I and Alcee are the only one remaining after the party that happened in my new home.

In the evening of September 8, the time to move in for students at Penn State, boy around the age of 19 years, sits on his bed in his small and typical-looking dorm room. He has the dorm keys in his hand with a blank stare at the white, yet dirty wall. He hears a banging at the door, followed with a repeated sigh and some curse words thrown in, which had immediately pulled him out of his daze. The boy quickly gets up to see what all the noise was, and as he opens the door, he sees a very pissed off

Surrounding the quiet/rest center will be a canopy held up by smooth tree branches. There will also be a CD player with multiple CDs that have lullabies on them which

Food Chemistry Assignment 1 1. Why would you use D-glucono-δ-lactone in a refrigerated pizza crust? Which additional ingredient do you need for D-glucono-δ-lactone to work and why? (5 points) D-glucono-δ-lactone is a leavening agent so is added to pizza crust to cause expansion of the dough. When water is added to the dough mixture containing D-glucono-δ-lactone and sodium bicarbonate, they dissolve. D-glucono-δ-lactone hydrolyses to gluconic acid, which then reacts with the sodium bicarbonate to
