Fighting in a war with the love of your life isn't one’s idea of living. Landon and Queen Amara have been together since age 8. Where Queen Amera has had very few consequences for her actions. She has been and continues to be with many men, even though she is supposed to be loyal to Landon. Landon has known of her actions yet he has never been angry towards her, he waits for her, and continues to love because he knows the meaning of being able to truly love someone, and truly loving someone is being able to deal with whoever they are, but still having patience and kindness towards one.
“Amara, you look beautiful.” Landon said this as he saw the beauty that his fiancé holds.
“Landon, I have some, how do I say this? Business, you could say,

As Amara journeys back to her castle, she realizes she has to find a way to get rid of Landon. “What can I do? I can't hurt him and say I've betrayed him for a king. Maybe he'll understand. No he won't. I must kill him, for this will be the true way to be rid of him” Amara spoke to herself and finally finds a reason to execute him, she decides that she'll say he forced himself upon her. She believes that he'll understand and not fight against her. The huge sea roared in anger. The sky was foggy and it was dewey out. It smelled like burnt logs, showing that it was going to rain. It was misty out and when Amara was walking on the deck, she felt the mist hitting her face. It took an extra day for Amara to finally get home, …show more content…
Amara had returned home very late in the night. She walked to her room and saw the breakfast laying on her bed. It had smelled of bacon and a sweet sappy smell. She walked over and layed on her silk comforter that felt cold on her skin. She felt sad because of what she thought she needed to do. She picked up the food which was still warm and took a bite of her strawberries, for that was the cause of the sweet, sappy smell. Her mouth watered, so she took a drink of the wine that was also on the tray of food. The cup was very soft, as if it had just been made. Amara layed her head on her pillow and closed her eyes. “You know you're my sunshine in the rain.” Amara said this to Landon as a smile had spread across his face. He was now in her room waiting for her to tell him how his trip went.
“And you're like a castle. Beautiful and a heart very huge as for it holds my heart.” As Landon said this, he saw Amara wince. “What's wrong my love?”
“Landon I don't want to do this, but I have to. Guards!
I, Ponyboy Curtis, will appear in court to state that Johnny Cade is not guilty.
3.?Against the dark background of the kitchen she stood up tall and angular, one hand drawing a quilted counterpane to her flat breast, while the other held a lamp. The light on a level with her chin, drew out of the darkness her puckered throat and the projecting wrist of the hand that clutched the quilt, and deepened fantastically the hollows and prominences of her high-boned face under its rings of crimping-pins. To Ethan, s...
This book is telling a story about two African American boys (Wes A and Wes P) who have the same name and grew up at same community, but they have a very different life. The author, Wes A, begins his life in a tough Baltimore neighborhood and end up as a Rhodes Scholar, Wall Streeter, and a white house fellow; The other Wes Moore begins at the same place in Baltimore , but ends up in prison for the rest of his life.

It was a sunny day with a sweet aroma of blooming tulips. The sunlight glittered on their faces as the breeze rattled the chestnut tree above. There was an occasional giggle as they talked, but there was also a hint of discomfort and awkwardness between them as they peeked at each other’s face and recoiled when the other looked up. When the bell rang twice, I saw them say goodbye and walk away from each other. In the darkness of the crowd, a glimmer flashed into my eyes from Hannah’s cheeks.

His beliefs on this matter did not all come from morals, Ronald Reagan’s perception of freedom came from his lifestyle of/in Christianity.

The first comic frame I drew was the first time John Griffin looked in the mirror as a black man. Griffin walked into the bathroom and got the first look at his transformation. He couldn't recognize himself and this caused him a lot of “distress” (which is why I drew his facial expression like that). He felt lost, like a whole new person was looking back at him in the mirror. This scene was important in the book because it showed that though Griffin understood that skin color is “something which one has no control”(Griffin 7), he hadn't fully acknowledged the lesson that a person’s skin color doesn't define who he or she is. Rather it's the person’s condition that makes he or she behave the way he or she does--He learned that
“Nobody in the world, nobody in history, has ever gotten their freedom by appealing to the morals of the people or individual oppressing them”, is the idea of Abraham Lincoln’s presidential policy. Abraham Lincoln, a Republican, pushed America towards its present ideals. Lincoln’s leadership was practical and hopeful; yet he did not press for the reality of the phrase “All Men Were Created Equal”. I would give him a grade of a B average. He had good intentions, and progressive ideas, but he did not know how to handle them or order them to be passed majority of the time. However, he led the United States through one of the bloodiest, Constitutional wars that America has been in. He proved his worthiness of President among issues such as the
Andrew jackson is a very humble man because of the way he had the perspective of the normal everyday man. That is why he was considered brave, mentally tough and successful.. By him growing up simply harsh he had the perspective of a natural man because he had been there before and understood. “Jackson was a classic example of the self-made man who rose from a log cabin to the White House, and he came to represent the aspirations of the ordinary citizen struggling to achieve wealth and status”.Basically he started at the bottom and had to climb the ladder to success. Jackson was brave, mentally tough, and successful with everything he did.
