12/20/1890 Today we heard the news that we will reach Ellis Island any day now. It amazes how fluent I have become in Yiddish. I still remember at the beginning of the voyage how my father and mother had to translate everything I said. However‚ now I regret learning Yiddish because now I understand why many of the fellow passengers were always crying. It wasn’t because of missing the old country which I earlier believed‚ but of the loss of their close family members and friends. I remember back in Russia

What’s A Friend All About? It’s hard to pin friendship down. We obviously weren’t made to be alone. Without companionship of some sort‚ most of us feel very happy and incomplete. Friendless people are usually unhappy people. Lonely‚ isolated people don’t live as long as well as those who stay “in touch” with their fellows. Some of the most wealthy‚ famous‚ attractive people on earth have starved to death emotionally for lack of a few good friends. But trying to define friendship is like trying

“Isipin mo na lang best friend mo ko.” This is the text message I received from her which started it all. These words gave me the privilege to call Mikee “bes” and have her as my one and true best friend. Best friends are the best when it comes to being an inspiration for improving oneself for the better. This is what Mikee made me realize. Although we’ve just been best friends for quite a short time‚ she already influenced me with her unique attitudes and characteristics. She’s one of the main

Dear Amanda‚ Hey Girl how are you doing? Hopefully things are going good. As for me‚ I’m doing great! I’m writing you this letter because in English class we looked at these pictures and the picture that I got was of some mountains‚ a lake‚ and forest trees.

give my opinion. Danish film director Thomas Vinterberg moots a very topical subject with his fantastic new drama about the snowball effect of a false accusation. Because of a casual lip-deep utterance of a five-year-old girl‚ a kindergarten teacher named Lucas is accused of pedophilia. The unnerving film shows perfect how the life of this man completely collapses. He loses his job and his best friend‚ his girlfriend leaves him and he is beaten up: the whole close-knit community loathes him‚ although

27th January 2013 Dear XY‚ I have recently read your letter about zoos which are out-of-date and where the animal keepers treat the animals cruel. I think the article talked about only the zoos’ bad side which is very sad but I’m sure that we can find a lot of zoos which shows us the opposite. In my opinion the zoos can be educational because they keep exotic animals which most of us couldn’t see in their natural environment in Asia or Africa. To visit a good zoo is our only opportunity
