.... has to face so far in this mixed up society. His troubles get greater and greater until finally he does something about it. All through his life, Equality thinks he is not capable of accomplishing anything. Through time though, he discovers that he is capable of doing many things by himself and more importantly that he is an individual. When he is in the tunnel, he discovers a light. This provides him with the confidence that he is able to do things. Other experiences, such as falling in love with Liberty and seeing his reflection in the pond also help him to believe in himself as a strong individual. Equality later realizes that he has commited sins as he was growing up. ....

.... it over, and it will not be come back again. Is there anyway which can make the year of 1998 come back again? Not really, but there is a book what we called high school yearbook. The yearbook can remind the memories all the special events throughout the year. For example, inside the yearbook of 1998, there were pictures of Homecoming, Winter Formal, Prom, and sport events. Furthermore, the yearbook must have picture of each student individually, teachers, staff, etc. I found it on the bookshelf in my room and withdrew it from the shelf. I placed it on my study desk and looked at the book cover of the yearbook. The color of the cover page was combined with many colors su ....

.... turned around, bent down for the ball, and after the third try successfully grabbed it and stood back up and prepared to throw. Well the first thing that came to mind was just to fling it up in the air and hope it makes it to somebody around the base runner. Considering my previous luck, I just threw it to the first basemen. The throw was not any better then the catch. It landed 5 feet short and by the time the first basemen recovered the runner had rounded third base and was at least halfway home. The runner did score on a close play at the plate. The run gave the other team a two run advantage going into the sixth inning, which was the last in midget league. I knew a ....

.... could offer. Trampoline springs sprouted out of the cold ground as if they were gasping for one eternal breath before succumbing to burial. As I traveled further through this jungle, my eyes gazed upon the tree. The tree, our tree, had been a goalie for soccer, a hiding place for man- hunt, and a shelter for all sorrows. The tree seemed to guard the tomb where we had buried her that cold July morning. She had died peacefully and painlessly. At least those thoughts are what I clung to after waking up drenched in cold sweat and tears. With the whisper of a breeze, I was flung back into the watercolors of my memory, and one nightmare mural of my childhood protruded. The heat la ....

.... countertop are an off-white color underneath a pattern of random gray lines that looks like shattered glass. The seats for the tables are dark wooden benches, many of them are dented and scratched from their years of use. In one corner there is an ancient cigarette machine (the kind with levers you have to pull to get your cigarettes) and an old fashioned penny gumball machine. The walls of the room are divided horizontally by molding. The bottom four feet of the walls consist of wood paneling that matches the benches. The top half is covered with an ugly brown wallpaper that reminds me of the wallpaper in my grandmother's house. The wallpaper usually goes unnoticed b ....

.... to see if I could get one more trombone, two trumpets, and another alto sax for the band. Anyone interested?" Without thinking, my hand shot up like a bullet, and before I could realize what I had done, Mr. Yeazell called on me. " Mr. Coleman, thanks for volunteering. Since I know your playing ability, I will tell Willie that there is no need for a tryout. Besides, I think he is becoming desperate if you ask me. You will also need to go to U.D. on Saturday for practice. Do you need a ride?" "O.K." and “Yes,” was all I was able to say. What had I done? I was not qualified to play in the honors band I stink. I had trouble playing the music in the high ....

.... The car was born in the eighties and made a number of noises as it backed out of Alan's driveway. Dan flew off on the wet pavement, as usual driving faster than necessary despite how dark it was outside. The two had no plans for the evening. They drove back and forth, each suggesting who might be having a party tonight or what girls might be home. They were hardly lucky enough to find a girl from school home on a Saturday night. They were even less lucky when it came to the matter of getting a girl to ride with them. Mostly because when she would ask: what are we doing to do, they would reply: drive around for awhile. This was not something a high school girl wanted to ....

.... Many of my relatives were forced to work in the rice field own by the Khmer Rouge and many of them did not received anything to eat until they died. When my parents had their lives threaten, they decided to go to America, the land of opportunity. We escaped from Cambodia twice, the first time we got caught and were sent to jail for one day. The second time, we escaped into Thailand and stayed there for about one year. My aunt living in the United States decided to bring my family to the United State, so we made the long and tuff struggle to America. We went to the Philippine Island for six months so that were medically prepared to go to the United States. After six month ....
