• Personal Essay - Reading And Writing
  Personal Essay - Reading and Writing Doug Lee Lacking experience in writing and reading, English is my most feared subject.

Not that I read a lot before that, I don't remember reading any books in my middle school years neith...

• Song Of Myself: Individuality And Free Verse
  Song of Myself: Individuality and Free Verse Shroomlife Forged in the fire of revolution and defined by manifest destiny, America has always been the land of the individual. Although the American dream has not always been consistent, (married with 2.5 kids, 2 cars, a dog and a satisfying job), the spirit of innovation, individuality and progress remains unchanged. The father of free verse, and perhaps the American perspective of poetry, Walt Whitman embodies these values in his life and work. ...

• The Swirls Of Emotions
  The Swirls of Emotions Robin Emotions can be classified, according to your personal experience, into three different categories: happiness, sadness, and anger. First of all, there is happiness.

• My Alarming Dream
  My Alarming Dream Corey Capps My little old copper alarm clock rests on my desk tick tocking away each inevitable second of the day, only to shake, rattle, and ring me to wake every morning.

The smell of fresh coffee creeps under my door my sister's radio blares the newest teen sensation and drowns out the morning news light...

• What America Means To Me
  What America Means to Me Squid America is a wonderful place to live, because we are free. Freedom is important, and many people in other countries do not have much freedom.
