A Summary Of Daniel Junior's Diary
It was ridiculously hard to get married back in the 1700s but after years I met my beloved Abigail Gilbert at the age of 25 and we wed in 1772, it’s been history since. Months after our wedding I got the news that I was going to be a father of a boy and the name Daniel Junior came to mind, later in 1773 he was finally born. Years passed and I became father to more children including two beautiful girls. We eventually had to go down the road to Shutesbury in the west so I was able to join the militia there because I wasn’t able to stay as a member in the Brookfield Militia. Moving was hard but the outcome was great because after all my hard work in drilling I was known as Sergeant Daniel Shays and later on turned to Lieutenant Daniel Shays.

    Daniel Akst, in his essay “Saving Yourself”, discusses the need for thrift during the U.S. economic recession. According to Ackst economist Thorstein Veblen developed the theory of conspicuous consumption while economist Simon Patten promoted consumer spending and capitalism as tools of social change.

He gives the impression that he really researched this topic. I felt that Akst brings up several good points and is very persuasive.…

    After over 37 years of marriage, you can just imagine the memorable moments I have shared with Paul. From watching our 11 beautiful children grow up to be wonderful people to the activism work Paul used to do back in the day. The main reason for me to write this is not only because I am 65 years old and my mind seems to be losing me, but also to tell the untold tale of Mr. Paul Revere, a great husband and a true hero. I am writing this for my children, who have already heard this story a million times, and all the wonderful children that follow. Back when the days were spent watching little Paul Jr. and his father work endlessly at their silversmith shop…

    Freshman year; everyone in the high school, Highland, is required to play at least two seasons of sports in their high school career. Now, last year I was head over heels into riding (no pun intended). Feeling this way, I thought I would have no time for any other sports and would just get an exemption from my horse trainer to excuse me from sports. But, my best friend, Kayla Soltys then came into play. Kayla plays two sports, lacrosse and basketball. Kayla was very persistent in asking me to play lacrosse that spring and finally, I gave in. I thought it would be cool to try a new sport and I would have nothing to lose, only things to gain such as endurance and better hand eye coordination. What I did not know was that, lacrosse is so much…

    I woke up to screams. My eyes shot open and I stood right up to see what was going on. The youngest kids were either mindlessly panicking or running away. Then I saw why. The Anti-magic groups found us and attacked while I was sleeping! I saw Katie and Bradley fighting off lots of them. They had amazing teamwork, Katie would trip one and as he fell, Bradley would hit him in the throat. You could tell just by looking that their magic skills had improved greatly in the years we’d lived together. Katie could almost instantly turn parts of the ground into ice, and Bradley would repetitively strike with small bursts of lightning.…

    I have made a mistake which I cannot undo, in the moment it seemed to be an essential task. I killed Tybalt, if I wouldn't have would I really be a man? I recall Tybalt showering me with insults, in an attempt to try finishing what he had started back at the party, but at that point in the day I wasn't about to get into a scuffle with him and disturb the peace in this city. Even then, I understood that Tybalt fought with many citizens in Verona and I was well aware that I needed to hold back my retort, Tybalt was always a thorn in my side. I continue to have flashbacks of my friend, Mercutio, bleeding on the ground. I recall every sensation I had while I was smoldering in anger. When I remember that part of the incident, I don’t regret seeing Tybalt laying on the ground with blood flowing out of him… But from my actions I had broken the peace in Verona, everything…

    Edward, a name only his mother used by the way, had just lost his job something that added substantially to his already rather low self-esteem. One of his friends, one of the very few he had left, managed to talk him into taking part in a search party looking for a girl that had gone missing up in the nearby mountains. Even though he had lived all his life in the shadows of the mountain range, he had actually never been up there. So just the thought of him taking part in this search and rescue mission without proper clothing, without a pair of decent boots looked more than a joke than anything else. The experience would however come to change his life fundamentally. He would come to find so much more than he set out to look for as it would…

    I was born on October 24th during the year of 1988, to my mother Lauren DiBenedetti and my father Raymond Valente in the wonderful state of Massachusetts. My parents ended up being better as friends rather than spouses. They were only married for a few years and got divorced when I was around two years old. Soon after, possibly too soon, Mom remarried a gentleman by the name of Gary Maltz. He ended up having a tremendous impact on me. Dad also got remarried, but unfortunately set a world record for shortest marriage ever; it lasted a whopping two weeks. I lived with my mother and stepfather in a little town in Massachusetts called Bolton. I stayed with them Monday through Friday so I could get an education in a smaller school system. During the weekends I would stay with my father in Natick and play hockey for a variety of different teams depending on my age.…
