Number of Words: 1064 / Number of Pages: 4
... not even to keep the often fragile peace at these reunions. I was just as guilty as the others. At least our dinner table talk was never boring! It certainly would not be tonight.

A rude gull squawked near my ear, rousing me from my reverie and I turned and walked purposefully back to the house, determined to find the courage and the words to make him understand.

... a REAL fish not the
guppy in my bucket. As he talked and talked the fish got closer and closer and

it was a carp not a catfish. I gave a little laugh and continued and he tried
to explain...."well you see boy, a carp is a hell of alot harder to hook than a
catfish. Carp don't just eat everything they see, they're very selective. So if
I were you I wouldn't laugh to hard just yet". I wasn't to sure if the
information was legit but i really doubted it so I just went on with my fishing.
It was getting close to weigh-on t ...

Personal Writing: Going To College And Studying Social Service
Number of Words: 629 / Number of Pages: 3
... was the worst part of my job, and I know the other receptionists I worked with felt as I did. Most of the patients were quite rude about having to pay this before they even saw the doctor, but if you didn't collect this co-pay the patient would never stop to pay it on their way out of the office. They would make us feel as if we were actually pocketing this money and going to luch with it. It was so humiliating at times the ruckus they would make, because it would make the other patients that were in the waiting area stare to see what all the noise was all about. The last two years I was a medical ...

Personal Writing: My Trip To Washington D.C And Arlington National Cemetery
Number of Words: 210 / Number of Pages: 1
... this huge burial sight, I thought about the squad rants of
soldiers who inevitably lost their lives. What questions did they have
about the war in which they were fighting? Was their country worth dying
for? These questions will forever remain unanswered; however, their tombs
will permanently remain to remind generation after generation that some
things are worth fighting for.
Upon arriving home from my trip to Washington D. C, I realized how
lucky I am to have the opportunity to live and study freely in the United
States. If it had not been for the many soldiers who fought to keep the
United S ...

... the air and said, "I wish I
never pulled this wretched monkeys paw out of the fire". But nothing
happened, all was silent. "We can't make it go away" said Mrs. White. They
both fell to the floor with tortured hearts. "I cant live with a son like
that, we must find a way to put an end to this," said Mr. White. Herbert
began his way down the stairs. As he neared the end of the steps Mr. White
picked up a gun and shot Herbert in the chest. Herbert fell down the
stairway like a bloody rag doll. Mr. White then took the gun to his head
when all of the sudden - "Wake up, Dad! Wake up" said Herbert. Mr. White ...

Number of Words: 884 / Number of Pages: 4
... Seems one of the plutonium pieces is…," he paused with a gulp,
"changing."
"Changing?!?!"
"You better believe it because it took me an hour to comprehend what is
going on."
"What exactly IS going on?"
Jarvis explained in his own special slightly whiny voice that he chose
to break out only in large meetings but decided to give Pete the thrill of
hearing now. One of the experimental pieces of plutonium had become so unstable
that it had actually began changing form. It had undergone it's daily blast of
gamma radiation when something went wrong. Like the incredible hulk, it was
growing larger at ...

He climbed on top of the glass rack and leaped on Kramer who was already on the ground from being hit by Cliff's mailbag. All of the sudden peace broke out.

... down,
his half naked self-mutilated body glowing red under my lights. His arm is
reaching out at me, trying to pull me into his twisted Willy Wonka world.
I close my eyes and concentrate, leaving my ears, my nose, and my mind to
do all the work for themselves. Realizing the stench in my room has gotten
quite bad, I light some insense. It's almost 11:30, and I don't seem to be
getting much writing done, so I'll sucumb to the greater power known as

didn't want to take the risk of going on a blind date dressed badly if in
the off chance her date looked like Brad Pitt. Her hunch had been right
this time. Johnothan R. Frakes was a real catch for a girl. Tall, big
shoulders, blond hair and deep blue eyes and most importantly thought
