Summer Escape My family has always looked forward to leaving Florida during the torrid summer months. It is a tremendous relief to get out of the heated hustle and bustle of summer living in Florida. Each summer‚ we follow the yellow brick road to our hometown in upstate New York. As we drive through state after state‚ it becomes apparent that the world around us is changing. In South Carolina‚ we already begin to notice changes. The trees appear to be touchable‚ offering soft‚ plush leaves which

Monday‚ 20 May 2013 Summer Farm - Norman MacCaig Summer Farm Norman MacCaig Summary: The poet lies within the depths of his mind‚ probably in his happy place as his mother’s family lived in the rural area‚ which is reflected in this story.

Sugar Ray Robinson In my opinion I think that Sugar Ray Robinson represents the words of Booker T. Washington "Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacle which he has overcome’’.
