Walter left his car running, so the girls could stay warm as we set up camp. I got the fire going in no time and Walter laid out the sleeping bags and set up the grill. I darted to the car to check on Heather and Fiona. Heather was still knocked out, so I carried her into the cave. Walter saw me and unzipped her sleep bag closest to the fire. I laid her in and Walter zip it up. I could tell he really cared about her. Walter's Uncle owned the super popular local restaurant O Kela Me Keia, so he got us some shrimp tacos. Walter was a fantastic cook. He heated the tacos up on the grill and squeezed some fresh lime juice over them to finish them off. He saved three tacos for Heather and a wedge of lime. He said the secret was to garnish with the lime just before you wolf them down. It was about midnight and Walter dozed off. Fi and I decided to let him sleep because he worked so diligently, setting up camp and cooking. "Orson when do you think she's gonna wake up?" asked Fiona. "Fi, she's just knocked out, you know she had a really bad accident and her body is just trying to recuperate, she's gonna be fine in the morning!" I promised. "I think you need to get some sleep, I will stay awake and keep an eye on her and I'll wake you up if anything goes wrong." "Okay, but if anything, I mean anything happens wake me up. I am pretty tired," replied Fiona. They say that it takes the average person seven minutes to fall asleep. But in Fiona's case it took about two. I found an extra blanket and floated it over her gracefully. The fire was just embers now. Heather slept on one side of it, parallel to the back of the cave and Fi slept adjacent to her. Walter was passed out against the wall closest to Heather’s feet and I was against the wa... ... middle of paper ... ...lly because they never recovered his body to bury,” I updated them. “I wish he knew how badly I want to go, but my parents didn’t let me because it was not safe,” Heather voiced. Orson where are we going, I know you just missed that turn, I haven’t been gone that long,” Fiona insisted. It is a surprise, but we are only about ten minutes away. I parked the car a short walk away because I wanted it to be a true surprise. With my instruction, we walked along these shrubs, until we made it to the secret beach. “Oh my gosh, Orson it’s the beach,” the girls said hesitantly. “I only brought you here because after everyone heard our story and about Walter’s tragic death, Honolulu decided to name the beach after Walter. It’s called Walter’s Shore,” I told them. I changed into my wet suit, grabbed one of the standing surfboards and asked, “Now who wants to go surfing?”
Fiona covered her mouth and hugged Jonas. She went to check on Gabe as he was lying in bed and later went to look at the giver. “What did he tell you,” Fiona asked.
“She should have checked in by now. The ship dropped her on world hours ago.” He said.
“First of all, I'm not that old. But that's okay, try to be there. You don’t know how important this is. Bring your mom if you must. You won’t bring anyone else?”
Mary sat down on the old sofa in the living room and relaxed. She hadn’t been able to relax like this in months. Once her head hit the cushion, she fell asleep. She slept until the next morning when she smelled her favorite breakfast, lamb tacos and orange juice. “What is that lovely smell,” she asked as she walked into the kitchen.
The beach offered a perfect spot to nestle in the warm sand and relax after swimming. In my childhood, I constructed sand castles. The water washed across the sand and formed little ripples on the beach. With my little hand, I grabbed the wet sand. The sand drizzled from my hands and formed the towers of drip castles. I would dig into the sand and carved out a small moat around the castle. After the night, the tide swept away the sand castles and the beach returned to its previous form. Also, I swung on the beach. While on the swing, I watch the sunset. The sunset formed a palette mix of pink, orange and brown. The blue waves of Lake Michigan stretched for miles beyond the sight of the naked eye. The Lake spread as far away as the ocean. I frequently wondered if anyone, except a superhuman could see the other side of Lake Michigan. A different activity on the beach was beach volleyball. As a child, I lacked athletics fitness but enjoyed the occasional beach volleyball game. Other people on the beach joined in the fray and people moved in and out the volleyball game. The memories of the beach hold a special place in my
“She is OK, right now… I guess, but yea… something has occurred, not really good to her.”
“Yeah,” I said. “We should probably get some sleep if we’re gonna get out of the city tomorrow.”
It was all they could do to nod dumbly. They hadn’t understood a word of what he said was prepared, but it sounded like a marked improvement from the mushy, gray, porridge-type liquid that they were forced to swallow back home. Together they headed to the dining room for their meal. Everything was laid out perfectly for them. The food was served right under their noses, steaming hot. Looking at each other, they started to grin. It had just dawned on them that they might as well become accustomed to this lavish lifestyle… they were going to be living in this manner for quite some time.
Several days passed by and Ambur woke one morning to find it dark and cloudy. He could sense this day would be a rainy one. So he took his time, fixed some coffee and got breakfast ready for he and Honeysuckle. It wasn’t one of those days where it might shower briefly and then stop. It looked like it was one of those 'all day' rainy days.
“My mom said we can’t go in the garage because it’s too crowded and my mom doesn’t want us to get hurt.” Becca said rolling her eyes.
Coming into speech class, I mentally and physically prepared myself for what was in store. I never really like giving speeches, especially impromptu speeches. Signing up for speech was hard for me to do because I absolutely did not want to take it and was considering not taking it in high school and wishing that I would never have to take it. My fears for COMM 101 was being judged. I am not really one to care about what people think about me, but something about public speaking gives me a fear that people will judge me if I stutter or not be able to complete a speech. I just wanted to do my best in this class and just breeze through this class and get it over with. Getting up in front of the class for my first speech, was petrifying for me
“We’re just going to see how you’re doing, so it’s not that bad,” She replied.
Beaches are beautiful forms of nature. Each one varies from another. Some can be rocky, some have white sand, some have black, some are small, and some are large. I love all sorts of beaches. Each beach I have visited has been a memorable experience, but one in particular stands out in my mind.
As I take a seat in my blue beach chair, my eyes fill with photographs. Pictures of what are happening now and recollections of what happened in the past. In front of me I see children making sand castles and laughing. The memories fill my head of when I was just a little tot. It reminded me of the times when my parents would pack up the car on a Saturday morning and we would rush down to the beach. The car would be packed to the roof with anything a family of two girls and parents would need. It included various beach chairs, many buckets and shovels, animal sand molds that we never used but still needed, and of course plenty of towels and an enormous cooler filled with snacks. The thought of that past memory suddenly brings a huge bright smile to my face. Even though it is the beginning of October it is funny to see people still at the beach, even when it’s not beach season. I guess I’m not the only one that comes here to absorb themselves in the earth. A little fact I learned was that the name “Belmar” translates to beautiful sea,...
The most basic register of the human language is conversation (Biber & Conrad, 2009). And conversation is a general register category, under which there are specific sub-registers such as personal conversation and workplace conversation, but they all take place in the spoken mode.
