Erin said before they could reach the door, "Ready to go trick or treating?" "You bet!" said Katie, who was a ghost. "Well, what are we waiting for?" Jenny asked, she was a witch.

... reply. I run to my father's room, crying, and telling that someone is in my room and I doesn't know why he was there. After my father solved the problem for me. We were all laughing about it. My father said, "In the Philippines, eating with hands are their culture, you will never see this in Taiwan." In Taiwan, everybody use chopsticks to eat. Nobody will use spoon and folk to eat, because that's a kind of hard. Just like my first time used the spoon and folk. I doesn't know either to use my left hand to hold spoon or use my right hand. People have longer weekend than Taiwan. Both Sunday and Saturday are their weekend. In Taiwan, we can only have Sunday and half ...

... God helps me to be a better person because it teaches me such things as loyalty, understanding, honesty, patients, values, and morals. These things assist me in leading a more fulfilling lifestyle, as well as making other people's lives better. I also believe in Christianity because I feel that everyone continues their existence beyond this worldly life. I believe that there is a Heaven and a Hell, and everyone will go to one of the two when they die. I believe that if you choose to accept God as your savior then you will live a life of eternal happiness in Heaven. But if you choose to live a life of worldly sin and corruption, then you will spend eternity i ...

... up run tells me he probably arrived short time ago. He makes his way up the back wall and his wheels go silent. The other one puts his foot on his tail and effortlessly rolls his truck over the coping. I watch him quickly drop away and coast to the hip. He glides past it, and I start to notice the entire view before me as he blends into a larger picture. I see grey. Every shade of grey, in all its variety blends and curves from the lightest near whites, to a deepness rivaling black. The darkness overhead drones with the sound of a thousand automobile tires humming on the top of the bridge. Though designed for another purpose, it serves well as protection fr ...

... boat that pulls into the bay and counting the number of fish on board and having to write fines to the sailors that had too many fish. This sure wasn't a popular job in the bay area. I was smart enough to figure I could be on the other side of the law and rob and steal vessels so I became an oyster pirate. I had a real passion for the sea and so in 1893 I took a job as a common sailor aboard a sealing vessel that ventured as far as Japan. This lasted about a year. When I returned back to the bay area I drifted from job to job. I told you I liked to wander. I left the bay and headed for New York City. I went on the road and lived as a tramp. With ...

... than opportunity, although that was plenty to entice explorers, range rovers and wide-eyed gamblers looking for a chance to strike it rich in real estate. The westward movement began, and it didn’t take long for people to find the area that would become Cincinnati. Because of its rich soil and abundance of rivers, which were vital to the transportation and livelihood of the day, settlers started arriving by 1788. Most of the city’s early settlers arrived by putting several weeks worth of food and their life’s possessions on flatboats, which were really nothing more than a small log cabin sitting on a modified Huck Finn-style raft, and drifting down the river. The ...

... seems absurd to me; it is just a front used to cover cowardice. Conchies don't object to war, they are just scared that they might get hurt. They should see this war for what it is: a chance to help and serve their country, and earn some glory, both for themselves, and for Britain. The Boche needs to be taught a lesson; they cannot expect to just march around the globe, invading countries for no reason, other than selfishness. If we do not step in and act decisively soon, who knows where they will stop? How can the army act decisively if many of the men who should be soldiers decide to stay at home because they are scared? Those who claim that their reli ...

... refused to stop for food until noon. It was 11:30, yet 30 minutes seemed like an awful long time and my stomach had been craving something, anything, for at least an hour. The hunger was uncontrollable, an almost eerie feeling, one you get before riding a roller coaster, came to me. No one else seemed to complain, so I attempted to ignore the issue by putting myself to sleep. Over 45 minutes had past before I was awaken so abruptly by the grasp of my dad large hand on my shoulder. "Time for lunch!" quaintly said with a jolly cheer hidden deep in his voice. One after another we trickled from the car, emptying quite quickly. I took a large deep breath of wh ...

... to us, and we are free to reserve judgment about matters of opinions. Sometimes, in our quest for knowledge, there becomes a conflict between our beliefs we are accustomed to and the material presented to us. When there is a difference, we should not ignore the idea or block it out. We should feel free to learn and question new ideas. Just because we learn something doesn't mean we have to accept it. We should leave ourselves open to new ideas. When we do this we become very well rounded individuals. An example of this is the issue involving the debate between evolution and creationism. As Christians, we naturally believe in creationism, but we shoul ...

... box tickets and a parking pass, for that nights Ranger game. I couldn't have been more excited, much less believe my luck. After I got off work , and picked up the tickets, I raced home to get my wife and son ready to go. Over the next half hour, I almost regretted having to bring my son, what with the hassle of getting the diaper bag packed , the traffic, and fighting the crowds while pushing a stroller. It was hectic, but I survived. Finally we were situated and ready for the game. The singing of the national anthem was finished and we were waiting for the first pitch. All of a sudden it hit me, for some reason I couldn't have been prouder. There I was ...
