the arts, I wasn't exactly sure what I was being asked. I turned around to look at the painting on my grandparents' wall and saw the writing "Claude Monet 1903" in the bottom right-hand corner. I politely answered my aunt's question, "Yes, I believe so." After we both looked at the painting for a few moments, she commented on its beauty and praised Claude Monet as a "great artist."

I was petrified, all I did was stand in the dark and helplessly stare at my grandmother's body. The rain poured even harder, hitting me in the face, blinding me from the reality. I didn't feel pain; neither did I feel loss, all I had in my head was fear. Suddenly I saw a light and when the bus stopped, my mother came off and grabbed me tight

five very interesting days rain became more of an attraction; it was almost something to be proud of. Having not expected much to come from my stay there, I was overjoyed when suddenly I knew that just because I didn’t like fast rides, I could still have fun with my friends and it was even better when I found my lost home. All in all my stay in Blackpool was relaxing and unexpected and then it rained. It got better but then it rained. So despites the inevitable rain, I had an amazing time. My chances
My favorite season of the year is summer because of the warm weather, the school vacation, and the endless fun. I really enjoy the warm weather because it’s the perfect atmosphere to do outdoor activities. My favorite part about summer has to be the fact that school is closed for two months.

Summer time is a great time to relax with friends and family by soaking up the sun at a beach or simply
sound of rain for the first time. I’ve never noticed how euphoric the drop-drop-drop of the rain can be as it trickles from the canopy to the forest floor. We danced around in glee as we drank from the gifts of the clouds, but we could not celebrate for long. We still needed to find food or we were going to die. *** “Tom, is that you?” Paul enquires as I cross the fallen tree. “He’s right here, you idiot,” Max yells.

After walking around in the rain all day, trying to make it to classes on time, we end up sick and have to miss school. I know of many students with similar complaints. If it is raining, snowing, sleeting
raining heavily. All the streets of the city was flooded. I could not go to the university. It was difficult even to walk on the main road from where I could get the rickshaw. I was sitting on a chair in the balcony, watching the gushing water of the rain flowing with rapid and alarming speed as it would inundate the city. It had rained the all night and still after passing many hours of the day, it had not stopped. I started the radio which was always like a good companion for me. But in that stormy
A week’s worth of rain and still going strong. It’s smacking the library window like hundreds of little bullets. The intensity gives me a sense of urgency, speeding my search. I stumble my way through the shelf, letting books hit the floor and stuffing others back slapdash. “Goodness!” cries a women, “What on earth are you doing?” “Sorry, Ms. Haas,” I say, leaning back and panting slightly. I’ve searched almost every inch of the library and I’m growing desperate. If mankind evolved at the
over us. It was amazing to have the colors of the sunset mixed with the clouds forming across the sky. Eventually, the storm reached us. We could see the rain starting to come down, soon reaching the edge of the lake. As it worked its way across the water, it looked as if a wall was coming at you finally just soaking you with the full force of the rain storm. There was another storm that occurred on the same trip, but this one came out of no where. We were outside in an open area playing badminton in
