The Ferrari
In the year 2005 my father took the opportunity to supply Ferrari with
car electrical auto parts. By the year 2012 we were the leading auto
electrical supplier in Europe. In 2008 we were invited to a road show
were Ferrari received the award for car of the century.
My fathers company was called Auto parts direct which later changed
Euro parts.
It was a fine Saturday morning I was sitting at the breakfast table
eating my breakfast, coco pops with cold milk. My father came in
looking quite jolly, which was quite rare, He said “I just received a
call from Lucas, he has invited us to the road show this summer in
Rome and on top he will be taking care of our accommodation and
transport.”
Lucas was the owner of Ferrari at that time and over the years had
grown pretty close with our family.
Although I was only six years old at the time I had a great interest
in cars which I suppose, I inherited from my father.
My father was a tall man with a medium build and a distinguishable
moustache. My mother, on the other hand, was of the shorter kind with
a plump and kind looking face.
The best part of the journey was that we were going to travel by ferry
from Dover .We were scheduled to travel on the 5th of July and return
on the 19th of July. There was two months to pass.
The night before we were to travel was a sleepless one for me, as
usual. It took me two or three long hours to get to sleep but when I
did I fell into a deep sleep and was awaken by the voices of my mother
and father echoing down the hall way. I had little sleep but it was
complete and sufficient.
Breakfast was served but I did not have the motive to eat, even though
my stomach was rumbling. I was too excited.
We were on our way to Dover which was only about twenty miles from our
In Native American culture, the red is the color of faith, and represents communication. The short story The Red Convertible by Louise Erdrich is more than an emotional story about the lives of two Chippewa brothers who grew up together on an Indian reservation in North Dakota. Erdrich uses metaphor, symbol, vivid imagery and a simple writing style to allow the reader to understand the text while also providing the opportunity to read a lot into the story.
I went in to the front lounge and sat on the sofa, all of a sudden I was floating in this black void, I was in complete darkness but I could still see my arms and legs, I could here a voice calling, a cold eerie voice but I didn't understand it.
I´ve never been on a cruise out in the middle to the damp,dark,blue sea before.This was so exciting.

It was then that my parents must have woken up. I could hear them getting out of bed, talking in hushed voices.

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! My alarm clock noisily beeped until I slammed it off. It was Friday, and I just had to make it through one more day of school. It was 5:00 A.M. My alarm usually goes off at six. I was a little bit confused. Then, it hit me like a line drive to the gut. I was going to the Bahamas. I ran down the stairs faster than a fighter jet in combat and put my cinnamon toast Eggo waffle in the toaster. I realized that I needed to wake everyone else up so we could go. I heard what sounded like a pig in distress, and knew my dad was fast asleep. I tried to be gentle when I woke him up. First it was a tap. He snored. Then, it was a whisper followed by a light shove. He snored three times. I wondered if he was communicating

"Where is Paradise?” said my mom to my Aunt Dee. She replied, "She’s in the living room talking to Robert on the phone. As I and my dad’s conversation progressed about putting minutes on my prepaid cellular phone, my aunt came in the living room and said to me, "Your mother wants you to come and lay back down with her.” Baffled, I just simply said OK. I went back to what was called the “Hall of Fame Room" at my grandma’s house where there were pictures of everyone in the family at various ages. My mom and I slept on the floor in that room whenever we visited. For some reason it felt extremely odd for my mom to want me to come and lay down with her. However, I obeyed. As I begin to lie down she said to me “We are going home early today”. I

At night as we fall asleep, our body goes through several different stages. These stages consist of light and deep sleep. There are around 5 stages in a cycle and we go through four to five cycles every single night. Stage 1, Stage 2, Stage 3, Stage 4, and last REM (rapid eye movement) You do not go straight from deep sleep to REM (rapid eye movement). The first couple cycles have a shorter time in REM and longer deep sleep. Later on in the night, you have a longer time in the REM stage and shorter time in deep sleep. However, you never go straight from deep sleep to the REM stage. You actually go from light sleep to deep, back to light, and finally to REM. A full cycle lasts anywhere between 100-120 minutes but the first cycle on lasts about 90 minutes. Each stage takes anywhere between 5-15 minutes.
