Cleveland is home of the Cavaliers‚ Indians‚ and the Browns. July of 2017 is was able to take a trip to Cleveland‚ Ohio. The main reason we went was because it was a huge bowling tournament. I finished 911th out of 1418 kids in the u20 division. The drive was the best part of the whole trip though. It was really interesting to see how different places are and how different the country is in different states. Driving through Iowa was really strange. There was no hills at all.

The thesis statement that I plan to use will be somewhere along the lines of: “In Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman: Season of Mists‚ the readers are shown the use of multiple religions as well as mythologies that connect and form its storyline. This paper will focus on the detailed web that connects the religious systems to the storyline.” I plan to structure the research paper

first important thing is to understand who or what this creature is. It is at the same time a narrator and a protagonist. It says: “How can I tell you what I am when I don’t know? I cannot.” Then it says: “I am mist and moonlight and memory”. Alliteration emphasizes these 3 notions (mist‚ moonlight and memory) which are neither animate nor tangible.

because of a mist on the river‚ Jim said‚ “I could a got down on my knees en kiss your foot I’s so thankful” (pg 65). This shows that Jim and Huck need each other considering that they are both separated from their families and has no one else that can support them. Also‚ this part represents a typical father and son relationship because a proper father would be worried if their son had been lost and later when found‚ they are overly happy.
