by phonies. Every one of them, the bros gulping down foamy beers as if it would somehow prove their masculinity, the crashers getting stoned in some dark corner, the girls clustering together because they can’t stand alone, even for a moment—every single one is so typically high-school, so full of shit. Where am I? I’m sitting on a couch with two couples who have clearly disregarded my presence, so, trapped in between and unsure of where to look or what to do, I stare into the depths of my red cup

Imagine you are in World War II. You are facing the enemy on the battlefield. The last time a squad was in this type of situation, they all died. Every last one. But this time, something is different. You have the B.E.A.R (Battlefield Extraction-Assist Robot). This robot could save all of your lives. And it does. You happened to faint and would have been shot down had the B.E.A.R not saved you. You now owe your life to a robot. Aren’t you glad that the robot replaced a human at your side. Robots

Moreover, a lot of people think about changing other people instead of thinking about how can they make some changes in their lives or make changes about themselves to be better in some

Follow Me It was the life most boys from my area were forced into; living in this region of Pakistan we are susceptible to these kinds of pressures. We did not have much choice in how we live our lives; either follow the leader or die. My mom and I moved here after my father was killed. He was a suicide bomber. Because he died for the cause and he was an obedient follower we were taken care of. Since I was the youngest of six boys the rest were already recruited and I haven’t seen them in years

“Just leave him alone”, Zebul angrily reacted. “No”, Steve reacted, “he’s right, I know what my father expects of me. I just don’t know if I can do it.” Before any of them could respond to him suddenly Mr. Jaclac appeared, the dragon training instructor. “Today we are going to do something a little different, today we are going to actually hunt for a dragon.” This was a pleasant surprise for all of them but Steve was a little perplexed on as to how they were going to find the dragon. “I want

Foreclosure In America As for myself I was shocked to find how many uniformed people took out mortgages which were almost certain to doom them to failure and also the lenders who took this long road with them. It has devastated this country and has given all of us an opportunity to learn some very important values that somehow has gotten lost along the way.

Throughout my life I have been told that my bedroom is the spot where I can define who I am. When I was younger I had bright orange walls with teen rock band posters plastered everywhere. I used to think that these decorations defined the person that I was, but they only defined the person who I wanted to be or to become.
