Pumpkin Picking I had one mission, and one mission only. I had to find the perfect one. Round, and a perfect, greenish brownish stem. I had to find the perfect pumpkin. I woke up at around nine twentyish on Sunday, and I was glad I had time to sleep in fore about another hour. So I drearily shut my eyes, and went back to sleep for an hour. In what felt like ten minutes, I heard, “Get up! We’re going pumpkin picking today!” I lifted my feet out of my bed, and they carried me to my dresser. I dressed up in a heavy light pink sweater, blue ripped jeans, and brown boots. For breakfast I just had a Pop-Tart and milk, and soon everyone was ready to go to Tranquility Farms. My parents and I live right around the corner from Tranquility Farms,
One day, a fourteen-year-old boy named Jonathan Price found himself lying down in the grass and suddenly thought, where are mom and dad? Where am I? He did not realize that he had walked one hundred and fifty miles east of his home in Wichita, Kansas and blacked out the previous day, October 19th, and blacked out. As he got up out of the grass, he felt a strange desire for food. He started wandering in the direction he thought was home. He started to go through a forest when he saw a beautiful waterfall joining in to a river. As he walked over to the river he found what he thought was an apple on the floor and ate it almost immediately. After he finished the so-called apple, he drank some water. He started to feel sock and looked at the apple in his hands only to realize that he had actually picked up an orange.
Two themes from The Mission movie that stand out to the viewer are ambition and forgiveness. The Guarani’s were ambitious in the case of keeping their mission standing and fighting off their enemies. The Guarani’s did not give up while being attacked by the Portuguese. Their ambition kept them going until the end of the fight. Although it ended with the missions being destroyed, they put up a good fight for what they believed was the best for their people. The Jesuits people forgave Captain Rodrigo Mendoza for his sin for killing his brother. Another sign of forgiveness was shown when Captain Rodrigo Mendoza arrived at the top of the mountain; the indigenous

“At this time in my life I lived in a very old town house, where I often heard unexplainable noises in the attic. One night, when I was about 11, my parents went out to a party, leaving me all alone. The night was stormy, with crashes of lightening and thunder outside. Having nothing to do, I fell asleep after eating too much ice cream. All of a sudden, my alarm clock goes off in the middle of the night, reading 3 o’clock. I’m wondering why ...
I woke up to the sound of an extremely annoying BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP, and I felt like a hibernating bear. It was like the darn alarm wanted me to get a knew one. But reluctantly, I pulled the switch on the back of the thing and pushed myself out of bed. I climbed down the ladder to my loft bed and went to pull my shoes on and get breakfast. I heard my mom yelling from her bedroom, ”Hurry up honey, or you’re going to be late for school!”
The date was October 31, 2002. The time was two in the afternoon. The little children across the street walked outside their house to carve a massive pumpkin. The pumpkin had a thick brown stem and a bright orange color, which glimmered in the afternoon sun. Something was really strange about the pumpkin, but I could not put my finger on exactly what was different. The children, who were abundantly excited to go trick-or-treating in a few hours, started carving the round pumpkin.
I was in my basement with my younger brother and my dad. My brother and I were bored so we started to pass a basketball back and forth. All of a sudden the ball hit my brother in the mouth. He flinched and had a look of pain on his face. I saw a tooth come out of his mouth and fly under a shelf. My dad gasped and looked at my and my brother. I was afraid my brother was going to be really mad at me. Luckily my brother doesn’t get hurt easily and he was fine, and actually happy I knocked out his tooth. I was relieved to know I didn’t hurt my brother. The only problem now was to find his tooth. My dad got a flashlight and shined it under the shelf searching for the tooth. Thankfully we found his, although it was very dusty.
The first two steps (dividing the paper into three parts and finding different ways to get the weight of each pumpkin that was given) was what was happening as I was getting deeper into the problem and finding more and more solutions to it.
Today when I woke, I was expecting my son to be asleep. That wasn't the case. Today was his first race. Now here we were, at the track, race about to start, everyone was lined up ready to run. *bang* The starting gun went off. Like a bolt of lightning, everything came flashing back to me.
During the season of autumn, there is an influx of bright yellows and red which children fill children with wonder and awe. As the weather cools, it's an ideal time to venture outside to learn and play with nature. Nature provides a variety of materials that can be utilized by parents for exciting activities which challenge a child's growing intellect.
My fingers were struggling to dial 9-1-1, all I could think about was the intense crying of my mom going on in the background. What was going to happen? After the few ringing tones, an operator answered. I quickly explained that I needed an ambulance immediately. The operator said paramedics would be there in a matter of minutes. Those minutes were the longest minutes of my life. After the phone call my mom asked me to help her get my grandmother out of bed. When I went into my grandma’s room I grabbed one of her arms while my mom grabbed the other, and we pulled with all of our strengths. I was shouting my grandma's name to get a reaction out of her, she just muttered a word and looked up with her soulless eyes. As we struggled to keep her standing the paramedics came through the door. They loaded her up on a stretcher and took her to the Emergency Room. That night I couldn’t sleep thinking of what was happening in the hospital.
The alarm on my cell phone went off. I woke up feeling very sluggish. I decided to stay in bed comfortably. There was no rush to get on the road and besides, I knew the young folks stayed up late talking with each other. I stayed in bed until three-fifteen in the morning.
Pest or potential problems- The pumpkins plant has lots of pests that will be problematic towards the pumpkins growth. Certain insects such as vine borers , aphids, squash bugs and snails will hurt the pumpkin plant. Aphids are notorious small insects that will eat a broad range of vegetables. They are harmful towards the pumpkin because they eat the insides of the pumpkin leaves. To get rid of these small pests, the usage of ladybugs will do the trick.Squash bugs along with vine borers prey upon the pumpkin’s leaves and vines. Squash bugs aren’t bugs that travel alone and aren’t easy to get rid of. Vine borers can be taken out of the pumpkins vines, while getting rid of squash bugs can be more difficult.
I pulled into the driveway of my house and parked my car. I grabbed my coat and bag and opened the door. When I got out I instantly began to smell the sweet aroma of the long rose bushes making their way out of our fence and into the world of our driveway. I was so captivated by the fall breeze, and the beautiful smell of fall in the air that I didn't even know that I was to the door. As I snapped back into reality, I looked up and I was standing at my doorway.
