I stood up and cheered as the announcer announced my son’s name over the loudspeakers. I knew nothing about football‚ but I did know that a touchdown was an accomplishment. This was Ty’s first game on varsity. He had worked so hard for that spot on the team‚ he deserved it‚ and now it was paying off. I pulled out my phone and saw the three texts left by my husband. I slide and replied. He wasn’t going to be here‚ he was not supportive of Ty’s football career‚ citing brain damage as a good reason

We intently display ourselves sporting the most fashion conscious trends in our suburban manifestations of white picketed‚ identically boxed houses.

Certainly the average Joe would have a few choice words about the situation. Funny enough‚ America is known as the land of the free‚ but ironically we

According the Ingrid Phaneuf‚ the author of Who’s Googling You‚ employers are not just looking for reasons to eliminate applicants to narrow their search‚ but to also get an idea of what kind of character each candidate has.

Night‚ a memoir by holocaust survivor and professor‚ Elie Wiesel‚ paints the horrors of isolation and how its knives will carve away your flesh and hope until there’s nothing but a vile corpse.

Rock Island. The district was dead except for the small line outside of a locked door. The 1989 movie Heathers had a cult following‚ people today have the same passion for Heathers: The Musical.

Persuasive Language Techniques 1. Attacks Attacks are a version of playing the man‚ not the ball.
