“Proserpina, my name is Pluto, I went to school with you,” he said with a twinkle in his eyes, and just for a moment he remember what happiness was. “I think I will taste your mother’s favorite,” Pluto said to the little girl. For a moment he forgot about the consequence of eating cooking he was blinded by Proserpina beauty. “Oh my ” he said” as it melted in his mouth, a taste like none that he had ever experience, :It’s so yummy, so gooey, so chewy, double pecan chocolate chunk , this is the best thing that he had ever eaten. Just then he realized
Connor Dolan 4/12/12 1:35pm The Rise and Fall of the Prohibition Era Over the past hundred years or so, America has definitely seen its fair share of failures, but very few compare to the massive failure that was the 18th amendment, also known as the National Prohibition Act. The now infamous act that prohibited the selling and purchasing of alcohol in the United States, has a very interesting background. The movement began in the mid-19th century and took more than half a decade to come to fruition, only to eventually meet it’s demise in a fraction of the time. The Prohibition Act of 1920 was one of the most unforgettable movements in the United States over the past hundred years. It succeeded in getting passed primarily due to the propaganda used by prohibitionists and ultimately failed due to the intense criminal activity that occurred as a repercussion of its passing as well as the economic turmoil of the Great Depression.
This doesn’t make me happy because I don’t agree with the British kind of behavior but I do understand that at the time their form of life was what America needed and because of that it helped create the New World. Therefore I believe that if it wasn’t for the British and having the supreme power of the Western world with their
This war destroyed 626 villages ; and more than 200,000 people were killed! Did you know that this war is still continuing today ? While doing the research for this project, I found it very shocking that a huge Genocide had started all due to a dispute for better land. This whole Genocide started when Guatemalan government refused to get the farmers better land. Guatemala's government was the main reason why this genocide took place, they were to selfish to share their land.
FINAL DRAFT Making my taste buds choose between the sweetness of a good sugary snack and rich savory dishes is a challenge. The best thing about sugar is that it is, simply put, delicious and easy to get. Chocolate being my favorite candy, I can eat it all the time. But sadly, that is not a good idea in the slightest. Because sugar sends me on a high then a few minutes later I feel fatigued and ready to lay down.
The images that were broadcasted all over America did not please the public and before long riots and protests were being held in the streets to end the war. This was because hundreds of American soldiers had died in a war they thought was coming to an end. The Tet Offensive proved otherwise and caused a major disagreement between the public and the American government. Many people believe that this almost forced the government to end the war because without the moral support from their own country there would be no chance in another. On the other hand, the Americans actually won the fight and in doing so managed to kill thousands of Vietcong’s, unmasked Vietcong’s, which they had not been able to do very well until this point.

We ended up eating macaroni and cheese with cream cheese and the burnt tempura, while we watched our favorite 80’s film, Teen Witch. That night was filled with many mistakes and laughter, but I would consider it one of the best imperfect moments of our
Private Peaceful shows that while young men go to war to ‘prove themselves’, all they really prove is the futility of war. Do you agree? The novel ‘Private Peaceful’ by Michael Morpurgo shows that, even though young men go to war to prove themselves, all they prove is that war is completely futile. The novel shows this when it talks about the thousands of dead soldiers, the pointless attacks, and the post-script section of the novel. This incredible war story shows us that, even though they display great bravery and valour in battle, the only thing young men who fight in wars accomplish is an early death.
For many, this was considered to be the final straw before the first revolution of 1905. They felt as though the Tsar, often considered to be their “little father”, and protector, had abandoned his people and been indifferent towards the losses of their lives. The peasants had only been marching, in peace, when the order came to gun them down, something that was obviously considered an unnaturally harsh attack. However, there were many other things that contributed towards the fire that sparked the 1905 revolution. There were still a lot of long term effects that were causing ill feeling towards the Tsar before Bloody Sunday even took place.
