Cindy barreled down the straightaway braked on the curve and punched the gas on entering the backstretch. Stealing chickens trespassing hunting on private property and tying cats' tails together were charges brought against Holly. In the back of my mind I remember having traveled this stretch of Maine before. Marandi wanted to go on a hayride with me but she was allergic to hay.

Trista and Dejah invited Michele and Dustin to the Lucky Horseshoe Casino and then didn't show up. If I had a dime for every time Cindy had an excuse for making a mistake on her e-mail I could retire early and live like a king. Holly thought about attending Bowdoin College and even sent in an application but at the last minute she decided to attend Pomona College instead. Murray who was born in a seedy Brooklyn New York hookah lounge is now the savior of his world. When I returned to my house I found Cathy Gessler an old high school "friend" waiting for me outside. Marandi wanted to sit in a floor seat at the Tim McGraw concert but since all floor seat tickets are sold she'll settle for a balcony seat which costs only $75.

Murray is, by his own admission, “a solitary crank who marrons himself with a TV set and dozens of stacks of dust-jacketed comic books” (DeLillo 52). He shares a house across the street from an insane asylum with boarders who seem like they ought to be confined there too. Not that he minds, though. He’s “totally captivated and intrigued … totally enamored of … the small town setting” (DeLillo 10).

To me, the drive felt like forever even though it was only 35 miles from Petoskey to Mackinaw City. As 10-year-old me sat in the back seat of my mom’s car, I remember repeatedly asking the question most parents dread to hear, “are we almost there?” Every time I asked she would shake her head in bemused frustration and respond, “you’ll know when we get there”. At the time, I was not sure what I was most excited for: the ride on the ferry, the big horses, the historical fort, the inevitable delicious ice cream; it all sounded whimsically amazing and I could not be more excited to arrive on Mackinac Island.
They both spoke with me about what they thought was the best route with college, sacrifices they made, and how they managed time in college. Dennis advised that going to a community college the first couple years was best and then transferring in order to save as much money as possible. Rebecca told me that she had to move from Pennsylvania all the way to Washington in order to suit her budget and best education. The both of them giving me these helpful advice influenced my decision to stay and attend Rogue Community College and relieves my worries about being forced to go to the very pricey Pacific University in Oregon because it’s not my only
In the movie A Beautiful Mind, the description of schizophrenia is shown in many accurate ways. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) states that the symptoms of this disease are delusions, hallucinations, disorganized speech, or unorganized or catatonic behavior. People with schizophrenia are also socially withdrawn and awkward when in contact with other people. These traits of the sickness are shown in detail throughout the movie by way of the character John Nash’s struggle with the disease. Nash is a very intelligent professor but believes he is working with the government to foil a Soviet attack plot. Nash eventually goes onto win a Nobel Prize for one of his theories. The movie shows the effects of schizophrenia on not only one man, but also on the friends and family of the ill individual. Treatment is discussed but not to any great length due to him ignoring the doctor’s orders on medication. Overall the movie shows some very prevalent traits of the disease in great detail during certain parts of the film.

Growing up is a natural part of life. Everyone grows up. The loss of childish innocence and blind faith in what is said is one chief mark of growing up. Loss of innocence, however, presents itself in many forms, even to adults, and with it brings a greater understanding of the world at large. In literature, authors use the process to explore society and humanity. Through the characters’ loss of innocence, the authors of both To Kill A Mockingbird and Of Mice & Men discuss ideas of prejudice, family, and courage.

Portuguese and English differ in several aspects of capitalization and punctuation. Here are basic Portuguese rules on capitalization and punctuation:
An 11 years old kid lying on the ground in a dark room crying, shaking, and trembling with intense pain in both of his ears. The pain was similar to as if someone was hitting with some sharp object inside his ears and every time he would feel the shock of pain, he would pull both of his ears while enduring the pain. The pain would raise every couple of second and with each shock of pain, the kid would lose part of the hope that he had of surviving. He would experience so intense pain that he had never anticipated and all he could think of that “he is about to die.” This was the experience that I felt when I had a severe ear infection in both of my ears.
Many literary critics are partial to essay titles with colons. They employ a catchy initial title followed by a more informative subtitle.
