sisters, who will stop at nothing to satisfy their
endless list of needs. After eleven years of being
an only child, I wasnt exactly thrilled about
having twin sisters appear in my life. Between the

out-of-control tantrums that babies have, I wasnt

World War Ii Harley Davidson
1,307 words
For the last century, motorcycles have been a
major influence to international culture. Back in
1885 Gottlieb Daimler created the first
gas-powered motorcycle, with the mindset of
function over form. It was nothing but a wooden
bicycle frame, with a simple four stroke engine
attached (Solomn R. Guggenheim Museum). At that
point motorcycles were very experimental. While in
the beginning they werent much to look at, they
truly proved their usefulness in both World Wars.
For instance, Harley Davids...

Plants And Animals Time Of Year

There is a place that is very special to me. A
place where life is created and ended as time
stands still. This is a place where someone can
relax and can also have fun here. One might wonder
how such a magical place could exist. This place
is not my room, or on some over populated beach,
my special place would have to be in the forest.
Forests are a great place to ride dirt bikes, they
are full of spectacular beauty, and forests are
peacefully secluded away from the world. As one

Ku Klux Klan Civil War

The Ku Klux Klan's long history of violence grew
out of the resentment and hatred many white
Southerners felt in the aftermath of the Civil
War. How did the Ku Klux Klan - one of the
nation's first terrorist groups - so instantly
seize the South in the aftermath of the Civil War?
Vigilante justice became the motivation for many
who later rode with the Ku Klux Klan. The Klan
grew out of white Southern anger over the Civil
War defeat and the Reconstruction that followed.
The time was ripe for the ...

Physical Activity Perfect Day Friends
417 words
The Perfect Day The good thing about my vision of
perfect day is that it is easily attainable, for
as long as weather cooperates. I would get up at
about 9 am and have a good breakfast. Then, I
would call some of my friends and tell them that
their squads suck and that I challenge them to
contest. This would result in all of us getting
together in the gravel pit, where we would ride
our ATVs, until we get bored of it or until some
of us break neck. After this, I would marinate
some steaks for an...

Theme Parks Ice Cream

The black pirate hat danced around in the air,
weaving and bobbing to some Disneyland music.
Attached to it was my head and the rest of me,
being dragged along on this wild ride. The only
sounds I heard were ones of trumpets soaring
higher and higher, trying to hit an absurdly high
note. The pirate hat and the warm Florida night
had taken control, and my self-consciousness went
right out the window. I danced, not greatly or
with any skill whatsoever, but I danced. For that
one night, at the end ...

Life And Death Side Of The Road

I think the subject of this story is about making

Roller Coaster Di Yanni
1,119 words
Essay on Keats When I have fears In his poem When
I have fears (Di Yanni 714), John Keats attempts
to put into words the human emotions felt when
dealing with death. I believe that Keats wrote
this poem to describe the natural order of
emotions he went through while thinking of his own
fate. The tone of the sonnet takes a roller
coaster course throughout the poem from one
quatrain to the next. With careful examination one
can see that Keats used the first quatrain to
describe a state of utter co...
