Being as though the novel was written in the 20th century

Arms I am seven years old again‚ twirling around in some frilly dress my mother picked out on a February night for the annual Girl Scouts Father-Daughter Dance. I dance in a circle with my closest friends to whoever the popular singer was at the time - probably Hilary Duff or Britney Spears. I act embarrassed of my father wanting to join in‚ but I know that when a slow song comes on‚ I will jump at the opportunity to show off my dad’s dance moves as I follow along‚ standing on his feet. I am sixteen

there right next to you. I unfortunetaly learned the hard way that is not the case. I did learn that my family will be there no matter what happens in my life. Parents are there to put food on the table‚ take care of the kids‚ and make sure they are doing the best they can for their child/children. I believe that family loves you no matter what: if you mess up‚ get injured‚ basically anything that happens to you‚ you can go to your family for help.

Homework Everyone has their own idol‚ and for me‚ the person I admire is the very successful author of the Harry Potter series‚ J.K Rowling. She has the ability to capture the imagination of so many people of every age‚ and that is why I admire her. Her books no longer seem like a fantasy‚ but become real‚ and people forget that what they are reading is simply a display of her vivid imagination. I was inspired when I read J.K Rowling’s life story‚ by how she transformed from rags to riches through

WHO AM I? I consider myself many things‚ some positive‚ most negative‚ but one trait that comes to mind when someone asks me‚ “What is one adjective to describe you?” I cannot really answer that honestly. “Hi‚ I’m Andrea and I would say that my overarching trait of all others is cynicism. I believe that I am the way that I am from learning how to cope with tragic events that have happened in the past. Sigmund Freud’s ego defenses could clearly back up this idea.

Unlike in the modern day United States‚ in ancient Rome new coins were constantly being issued with each new Emperor and generally various coins were issued‚ not just solely one. Philip I‚ or as many knew him Philip the Arab‚ was no different. In the year 244 AD Philip I became the new Emperor of Rome‚ and one of his many perks was the issuing of coins in his name.

There are a couple of songs that I can always count on to push me through every workout or tough times in my life‚ but my favorite song has to be Till I Collapse by Eminem. The beat‚ lyrics‚ and the emotional voice of Eminem are all what makes this song my favorite. This song has a meaning to it that I could connect with. According to Aaron Copland‚ people listen to different types of music and he divided the types into three planes. Reading all three types I found that I belonged in the expressive plane
