Emil the Sly Medic Another chilly December afternoon, my family was still absorbing the festivities of Christmas, preparing for New Year’s. I arrive at Uncle Mickey and Aunty Dot’s house, also known as Emil and Dorothy Hugo. Ever since they had retired, they have always been very supportive with my family, attending our sports activities as much as possible. We sat down and he offered me a can of guava juice as usual. His raspy, Pigeon accent and carefree mood comforts me as we settle down to watch the College Bowl Games.
The pilot to the show Pushing Daisies humorously titled “Pie-lette” can be described using a very visualist narrative vocabulary. This is because of the incredibly strong visual elements used to instill certain emotions into its audience and give the text more meaning. The story revolves around a man named Ned who has a special gift to both give and take life with a simple touch. It begins with him portrayed as a boy before he first learns of his power, living in his almost surreal, bright, friendly suburban neighborhood with his loving home-maker of a mother.

Our neighbor Beverly Hamilton remembered Toby spontaneously coming up to visit and play cards with her. He also frequently visited our other adult neighbors Alan and Clancy – taking an interest in these adults in a way that most kids just didn’t do.

Later, the company started selling over a wider geographic area by distributing its orders through mail. Due to its wide spread success the company started advertising extensively and added a free magazine about general lawn care to all its orders and established early on a well-recognized brand name for its products. The company continued growing and started selling lawn fertilizer, a wide range of chemical weed and garden pest control and distributing its products through small retail stores and garden centers.

For example, Bridget remembers the great joy of the day when Ilia bought the Folio Edition of the plays of Beaumont and Fletcher and presented it to her after many days of eying the book displayed in the stall and after many thoughts about how the money spent on the book could be managed by curtailing some of the provisions of their life. Bridget remembers the pleasure that being poor brought them at that precise moment. When Lamb calls an old China cup ‘Speciosa Miraculta’ we get a taste of his Latinism (Lamb 520). His fondness for alliteration is evident in his reference to a meadow painted

Once Buddy's father accepts who he is he becomes happier and as a whole Buddy's entire family becomes much more happy. I feel as though Buddy can represent how hard it is for other people to adjust to the culture here in the U.S. At one point you see Buddy eating all of the ABC gum on a rail as though they were chocolate covered marshmallows.

Back in Pakistan, whenever you went down to the corner store and bought something you would have to put a notch in a piece of wood.
She truly enjoys pleasing the boys. I will never forget the day that my family got her a spa package, and returned it because she wanted to spend the money on buying her son new football cleats. In addition, there are numerous nights that I have seen Dede give up her night’s sleep just to stay up to check on Tristan since he is fully dependent on her. Being dependable means to be trustworthy and reliable. This is yet again another great characteristic that describes Dede perfectly.
