Early on in my life I learned that life is not easy and that there are bumps in the road that may throw you off track‚ just like Tess did. My family moved from Michigan back to Ohio in 2004. At first‚ things went smoothly and we were figuring things out. But after about 8 months‚ I wasn’t so naïve. I was walking to school with my older brother‚ who was in 7th grade at the time‚ and I was in 2nd grade. He was fruastrated because my parents had a fight. Being the curious 8 year old I was‚ I asked

In this essay I am going to compare two extracts of writing‚ about World War 1. I am going to look at the use of language the writers use to express their views on war.

Extract 1‚ A Soldiers Declaration is a very formal piece of writing‚ the writer starts of by informing the readers

I woke to the aroma of fresh cut grass and crisp morning air. Anxious for my first game‚ I rushed to put my wondrous forest green jersey on; the uniform encompassed my small and delicate body‚ making me feel as if I was drowning in a sea of silk. I was entirely thrilled‚ therefore the rest of the morning remained a blur until it came time to watching the plethora of mini vans; driven by loving soccer moms‚ pile into the parking lot. I snatched my water bottle and oversized soccer ball from the back

For the Wrong Reasons I arrived at practice with my shoes laced‚ hair pulled back‚ and the mindset that I was unstoppable. I could play against every member of my team and come out the victor on any given day. It was the first day of practice that week‚ and challenge matches were scheduled to begin. The team went through our daily shuffle of drills‚ conditioning‚ and running to prepare for what was lying ahead. While warming up with my friends‚ I felt great‚ talking about homecoming‚ boys‚ and

All my life I’ve felt like I was constantly reaching‚ constantly pushing myself to work hard and achieve goals that to me‚ didn’t seem difficult to obtain. I never believed that I couldn’t do it. But for 10 of the 17 years of my life all I was doing was reaching‚ never actually grabbing a hold of whatever it was that I was reaching for. Throughout my childhood‚ I participated in many sports. The first thing I participated in was ballet‚ at the age of 5. At that age‚ I had set the goal for myself

I’m too far away to see their faces behind their masks but I can feel the adrenaline flow through my body and know that it doesn’t compare to what they must be feeling; knowing that this could

When I started writing this I realized that Cheri and I have known each other for 12 years. In those 12 years‚ a couple of memories have somewhat stood out. Our friendship began in primary school. I remember sitting behind Cheri in grade 4 and being completely mesmerized by what I believed was the longest pony-tail I had ever seen‚ and wondering how such a small girl managed to not sit on it. Being the new girl‚ tomboy Cheri took me under her wing and introduced me to playing soccer with the boys

“Bishop’s carefully judged use of language aids the reader to uncover the intensity of feeling in her poetry.” While studying Elizabeth Bishop’s poetry‚ it was remarkably clear that Bishop’s carefully judged use of language aids the reader to uncover the intensity of feeling in her poetry.
