Why I Took Summer School Some very important point were taken into consideration when I made the decision to take summer school this year. English 12 seemed like the perfect, foolproof course to choose because it would mean less work next year, a second chance if I get a terrible mark, and my undivided attention to a subject I don't excel in. Firstly, because English 12 is the only course with a provincial exam in grade 12, I'd love to get it over with. My grade 12 year is filled with difficult
During this essay, I will discuss the usage of symbolism that is all throughout Alice Walker's story, the Flowers. Backing up to the very end of the story, Walker's statement, "Myop lays down her flowers, and the summer was over",(54) is attached to the common representation of "summer" as the time of "youth", and this reveals that Myop's child hood youth was has come to an end. Coupled with that, another example of symbolism is how the flowers are represented in the story. they symbolize the happiness
& Girls Club ran several different sports programs so I was always there. One year a month or so before summer I was about fifteen (15). The Director made an announcement that they will be hiring a teen to run the lunch program for the summer. At that time the opportunity seemed perfect, but the only problem was that I wasn’t the only person interested. ---What should I do---- Later on day all I could think about was how could I get that job. I probably spent the whole rest of the afternoon

that is written upon the pedestal. The statue is described very clearly and shows to the reader the face of the statue and the words written on the pedestal. Sonnet 18, in comparison, focuses on a description of summer and emphasizes a person’s beauty as being more beautiful than a summer’s day. The styles of these poems differ in how they use comparison of landscapes with the quality of certain people or events in the poems. The statue’s serious, cold expression and the commanding words of the
fragrant flowers and green lawns while the townspeople await the arrival of Mr. Summers and the black wooden box from which everyone is to draw a folded slip of paper. Adults chat while children play a game in which they gather stones. Whoever draws the slip of paper with the black dot on it will receive all of the lottery proceeds. The first of many hints that all is not what it appears to be is when Mr. Summers ask for help with holding the black box steady and everyone is reluctant to help
Throughout Shakespeare’s hundreds of works, his sonnets provide a certain deeper aspect to them; each one with it’s own clues and surprise ending. Specifically noted, his 73rd sonnet and 18th sonnet (better known as “shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?”) have their own special interpretations, similarities, and differences when put side-by-side in anyone’s eye. To the untrained eye, these pieces of work may not bare many likenesses, but they actually are quite similar. For starters, both use strong
setting of "Sandcastles" by Jesus Hardwell takes place in the summer of a remote crescent shaped beach. Three best friends ran, played, and explored, as they had nowhere else to be. When one thinks of a beach setting like this one, it brings about happy thoughts of relaxation, children laughing, playing in the surf and sand. When the boys run into a strange woman on a remote stretch of the beach, who has a darker plan for herself that day, the woman deceives the boys into helping her to ultimately

Furthermore rain washes the air after dusty days, keeps the water level in rivers and artificial lakes or natural lakes. Rainy days in winter are kind of the most hatred days for some people, while other people love rainy days. It is an essential thing to keep life going for everybody on this planet; humans, animals and plants. No one can live without water, and lack of water would

But, like nature, the woman’s beauty can be dangerous, “Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines”, which alludes that her beauty and love can also be overwhelming, identifying
more time in the classroom.” Some opponents of this system say that our summer vacation is the perfect time to have a full time-off and that you won’t lose much of what you learned the previous school year.
