I am what I am “How will I be remembered?”. A question many people ask themselves‚ though for some there is no how. In A Mercy‚ through the mouth of Jacob Vaark‚ Toni Morrison gives us an interesting answer to this question. Actually‚ it is more of a statement‚ than an answer. Nonetheless‚ I feel it deserves attention‚ and‚ in a way‚ guides me to a subject I did not expect‚ identity. A subject which I shall be discussing below‚ but before I digress too far‚ here is Jacob’s statement.

Summer Vacation Summer vacation is one of the most exciting times of the year. Every year we go to the island of Surf City in North Carolina. Surf City is a cool place and there are so many things that you can do. Maybe the reason why I like it so much is because of the change of scenery. The greatness of the mountains to the vastness of the ocean puts a person in awe. Summer vacation gives our family time to relax‚ and do things we want to do. On the island there are

Summer Reading Description To be completely honest‚ this year was one of the first years that I actually did summer reading. I usually never do summer reading‚ the last time I probably did it was back in 6th grade and even then I had read a Judy B. Jones book a day before school even started. I decided I would do it this year since I want to do better in school‚ plus my mom and my girlfriend kept pushing me on until I started it. When I finally started summer reading I decided I would do one

undefinable. But to me‚ the pool is my home‚ the water is my best friend‚ hard work is my passion‚ and swimming is my life. An outsider to the sport would call us insane for staring at a black line for hours on end‚ but really it’s much more than that. I began swimming two years ago. I thought it would be fun and great exercise‚ little did I know that I would soon be addicted to it and never turn away.

Somehow‚ we always manage to get all of this done on Saturday. When it

Critics do not give enough credit to the struggle of Billie Holiday‚ whose highs and lows were commonly expressed through her strong vocals and combination of blues‚ jazz‚ and swing. She‚ unlike any other artist‚ came from nothing in Baltimore and found different avenues to rise through jazz history. Similar to her immediate family

The Summer of Love The 1960s was a decade of political and social upheaval. The counterculture‚ which was what the decade was called‚ became disappointed with all the restrictions and conventions of the straight society. The Summer of Love did not occur until 1967‚ but the decade was inspired by the Bohemian spirit which was already present in the 1950s; known as the Beat generation. The counterculture gained significant influence in liberal cities such as Berkley and San Francisco. In 1967‚ Scott
