A day I would like to forget It started out as a normal day‚ I went to school but‚ school got out at ten because of snow.

All three of us plus his mother and sister came inside the house and

Someone that I will never forget is Clayton. Although Clayton is six years younger than I am‚ he is my best friend. I met Clayton on the school bus when I lived in Alabama.

Forgive and forget. Survive and don’t take glances at what was left behind. Many of us live true to these words‚ forgetting the events that led our country to its prosperous state. Wars and contentions once ravaged our land of freedom and equality‚ but as time passes‚ they fade from our recollection. Men fought for justice‚ believing in what they thought to be true. After the Civil War ended‚ southerners erected statues and memorials in honor of the men who bravely led and fought alongside their

I looked around my room once more‚ turned-off the lights then closed the door quietly. I crept into my parent’s bedroom and kissed my mother on the forehead lightly‚ pulled the comforter tighter around her frail body then let my gaze linger on my father’s empty side of the bed. After a few moments‚ I headed to my younger sister’s room. Little Mia. She would probably hate me for leaving‚ but she needs to grow up and learn to be independent sooner or later; just sooner than she thought‚ much sooner

Forget Herostratus is a story about a man in ancient Greece who burned down the Temple of Artemis in order to live forever‚ but it is much more than that. Grigori Gorin is a genius writer who wrote an instant classic full of universal themes that will stand the test of time. Gorin’s Forget Herostratus is a clear critique of the Soviet Union‚ but it is an ingeniously disguised critique‚ enabling the play to get past the censors and communicating Gorin’s serious messages within a historical‚ comedic

A Day I Will Never Forget I have always been told to never judge a book by its cover‚ but in these terms regarding people. Just like the cover of a book‚ first impressions are not always as they seem. They are very crucial in everyday life and can be the basis of how our relationship with a person begins.
