Fruitcake

I’m sure that a great many of you know the traditional cake known as fruitcake which is usually baked at Christmas. Well this article isn’t about cake it is about the other meaning of fruitcake which also refers to a person who is totally insane. It came out to be an amusing story but could have ended with a fight.

There was an elderly man who wasn’t happy with the world, people and lots of other things. When it came to people he would mutter his opinions under his breath. This gentleman lived in a small neighborhood in New Jersey. I forgot the name but it was one of those neighborhoods where everyone knows one another.

    The brief history of the lost boys shows help in a helpless place. “Older boys ー some just nine or ten ー looked after the youngest ones and small cliques of boys formed their own family groups”(¶ 6 7). This quote displays that the older children have benevolence for the younger children and that they -given the circumstances- it isn't every man for themselves. They recognize that the younger children won't be able to fend for themselves so they stay together. when they eventually found help and started…

    Attention- getter: What would you do if somebody came into this classroom and pointed a gun at you as if they were going to kill you for no reason? First thing that would come to mind is, “Am I really going to die right now” and “Why is a person on campus with a gun trying to kill people?” Sad part is, an event like this has happened many times in the past. For instance, the Sandy Hook Elementary School mass shooting as well as the Colorado movie theatre shooting that all took place within the past year[example]. These mass shootings have brought up the issue of controlling who is able to purchase guns and if it is safe and necessary to roam around in public armed with a weapon.…

    1. This informative speech on “The Cause of Homelessness “is very Inform able and worth listening to, because in today’s economy it could be you or me. Some seem to think homelessness is choice. I find this speech relevant to the world I live in today, due to the high unemployment rate, declining job market, and the economic hardships that families are enduring. This topic is not a broad one, but yet can be spoke of in depth due to the fact I see many homeless people but never thought it would be me until I seen a family friend who has lost everything, this is what made me more aware that it is not just a choice and any day it could be me. So when you see a homeless person do not judge it could be you.…

    Reading Response to 'The Man in the Well' by Ira Sher

    The only reason I could imagine why the children wouldn’t rescue the man is fear. They must have been afraid that the man would cause them harm once he was out of the well. When the children decide not to rescue the man there seems to be an unsaid agreement among them not to mention names or show their faces. There were a few times where the little girl Wendy would poke her head over to try and figure out the mysterious mans name, but even he was unwilling to comply. The entire time the man seemed extremely patient, consistently asking if they had gone for help or to retrieve a ladder. Only a few times did he seem to raise his voice and frighten the children off. I didn’t really understand why the children seemed so frightened of the man, and so unwilling to share their names.…
