is also among the historical features in Hingham Mass. Wompatuck State Park draws many naturalists and outdoor junkies with its 7 square miles of forest once used as an ammunition depot during WW II. These landmarks bring a unique group of tourists to the South Shore. The South Shore is also full of endless natural beauty. The surrounding secluded beaches and harbors only compliment the gorgeous lakes, rivers, cranberry bogs and acres of forest. The colors that appear in Hingham during autumn are exemplary
the course of the semester, we read several hybrid genre books and some with hybrid themes. For the topic of my personal narrative, I settled on a subject near to my heart, the prospect of summer. To establish my theme of a blissful summer surrounded by nature, I implemented several elements from parts I and II of Jean Toomer’s Cane, Maggie Nelson’s Bluets, and Anne Carson’s Autobiography of Red. The title of my narrative establishes the setting; it takes place in the summertime. I chose the adjective
the endless shorelines to the thrilling theme parks and finally to the exotic rainforest. Method of organization: Spatial Introduction I. Have you ever dreamed of being on an endless stretch of beach and sand? Well I have and there’s a place like you haven’t seen before. Endless shores, breathtaking waves along a strip of skyscrapers, a rainforest that is not too far from the amazing coastline and practically everything a tourist could ever wish for in a city that rarely misses the sun.

A Separate Peace: Physical and Mental Parallels to a Never Ending War World War II is one of the most famous historical events and it also contributes to the theme of war in the novel A Separate Peace by John Knowles which focuses on that period in time. To emphasise this major theme, Knowles uses techniques such as physical and mental parallel situations and foil characters. For example, readers learn that many of the physical activities the boys at Devon school used to play carry references of
bunkhouses workers lived in were filthy, and sometimes contained lice, termites, and rodents. This period of time showed a perfect example of how badly the American economy can be flawed. This ranch problem was finally cleared up when World War II was active, as it called for soldiers in war against Germany and their allies. Modern day ranching typically happens in the American West, because of the sunny days and coastal breeze from the ocean. Ranch life involves dealing with horses, cows

The perk that gives digital cameras so much potential is that there are only so many chemicals and chemical mediums that can be used in photography, but with digital, the potential in endless. Other reasons digital is so highly favored it because they can be super small, or super large to zoom in to super faraway
Pablo Picasso was born into a poor family in southern Spain in 1881. He started as a child prodigy and ended as the greatest painter of his time. Picasso received early training with his father, a small-town drawing teacher. Picasso showed that he had natural talent and had taken his father’s teaching to a new level. After some time in and out of sessions at art school in Madrid and Barcelona, Picasso spent the rest of his adolescence associating with a group of Catalan modernists who met and worked
” For centuries, books have transformed readers into someone else and transported them to different worlds. In my fourteen years, I have fought dragons, saved the world, and survived World War II. I have become others who were anywhere from a toddler to an adult. I have gone to wizarding school and a summer camp for demigods all because of books. Something magical happens when I open bound pages of words and begin to read. Books inspire me because they each open up a new world of experiences and feelings

a remarkable work, for it captures in 34 short lines the anger, frustration, and cruelty of the life of Mexican migrant workers in Texas. The searing heat, the backbreaking and painful work of picking cotton—all of it is here in vivid detail. II Diction “Diction” refers to the choice of words an author uses that distinguishes his “voice” from everyone else’s. That is, if you pick up a book by Charles Dickens, you don’t have to read very far before you know without looking who the author
“Why I Disagree” – Isabella Jackson-Saitz From a very early age, perhaps the age of six or seven, I realized that I enjoyed disputing things. As I grew older, I attempted to curb this tendency, since I thought it might negatively impact people’s views of me, but I never intended to stamp it out, as it was too integral to my nature. I was the oldest child of two by three and a half years which led to a sense of my knowing best– as well as my sister’s habit of thinking she did. Like most elder siblings
and that’s when he knew he had to enlist himself in the army. John returned home on leave the summer of 2000. He loved to surf waves and for him this was a relaxing hobby. One day he was relaxing on the pier, when a ladies purse was knocked into the ocean and he jumped off to retrieve it for her. When returning the purse, he soon fell in love with Savannah Lynn Curtis. This was the start of their endless love story. The book and the movie both portray this love story as Setting: Dear John had the
once prominent Danny Taylor, people reject those who do not comply with society's standards for wealth. Fearing that he too will be tossed aside, Ethan mutters the rhetoric of Shakespeare; that "now is the winter of our discontent, made glorious summer by this son of York" (Steinbeck 157). The phrase “winter of our discontent” is a metaphor used to describe sadness. Ethan speaks about a winter of discontent because he feels the jaws of a dishonest society attempting to eat away at his core values

My generation has grown up with his films and no matter what age a person may be, there is a Steven Spielberg movie out there for them to watch and love. Bibliography: References Taylor
Japan: The Only Victim of The Atomic Bomb Japan will never forgotten the day of August 6 and 9 in 1945; we became the only victim by the atomic bombs in the world. When the atomic was dropped at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, there was World War II. The decision of dropping the atomic bombs was affected by different backgrounds such as the Manhattan Project, and the Pacific War. At Hiroshima City, the population of Hiroshima was 350,000 when the atomic bomb dropped. Also, the population of Nagasaki was
the 1% as “nice” people, though. “They were careless people— Tom and Daisy— they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money…” (Fitzgerald, 29). Unfortunately, that characterization of the 1% is accurate. The seemingly endless pockets of the upper class made a consumer society that much more attainable for them. In the end, Jay Gatsby ends up face first, dead, in a pool. That fate is both an example of literary dramatic irony as well as a metaphor for how Fitzgerald imagined
2. Explain how you showed leadership during a challenging situation. A good example of a time I showed leadership during a challenging situation would be when my employers hired a new employee. The new employee was only sixteen years old and it was her first job of any kind. While she had the best intentions, she found it hard to find things to keep her busy, and she would often forget certain things she should do. My employers were becoming increasingly frustrated with her, and while I understood
