Also, make sure you are drinking plenty of fluids, especially water, not lots of soda. This prevents you from overheating yourselves. Last but not least, while we are all here to have fun, when you are in the canoes, whatever you do… Do not fall into Canoe Lake! 8th grade boy “Okay, okay, we will be careful!” 8th grade girl “Okay, okay we will be careful!” Narrator Boy and girl run and grab their canoes.

The silence is wide as the sky". (P59) Rayona feels gleeful and peaceful on this raft, but the calmness is shattered by Father Tom's arrival. After jumping into the water, he developed a cramp and Rayona saves him, she pulls him onto the raft, and they lay close. "We are the same size, from toe to head. He presses, presses, presses and the air leaves my lungs.
The images he uses connect to almost all of our senses, making the readers feel like they are experiencing the ride for themselves. Solway uses both visual and kinesthetic images in his first stanza when describing the windsurfing board and hot it moves across the water. We get the images from the very beginning of the poem when he says, “It rides upon the wrinkled hide/ of water, like the upturned hull/ of a small canoe or kayak” (1-3). Just
I remember the best barrel I ever got and the words I used to express my happiness afterwards. It was wintertime and I was surfing a spot with just a couple of buddies. This little nugget, small but solid wave, was rolling through towards me. I whipped around paddled and dropped in. I saw the wave was lining up good so I
Obituary for Peter Griffin Hello, today we are gathered here to share grief for our beloved Peter Griffin, who was also known as that fat guy from Family Guy who is an immature, obese, care-free, outspoken, dim-witted and a heavy drinker. Peter griffin was eaten by a Quahog this past Saturday because he was trying to stop the quahog from being shellfish by eating all the food and not sharing it with him, so the Quahog decided to tear him like a pea and eat him. I remember he had a crooked nose and mouth but he could always keep a straight face. Peter was a big-sized hero in the world of animation. Peter spent most of his life in the city of Quahog, Rhode Island.
I discovered The Best Turkey Sandwich Ever by accident one night while living in New York City. For you see, I was unemployed at the time and didn't have too much money to throw around on food. As fate would have it, on that night, much like on a myriad of countless other nights that had preceded it (and subsequently on many nights thereafter), I happened to be very hungry. In a sad, strung-out, state of desperation, I languidly scavenged my apartment for something to hold me over until breakfast. I found some deli meat, cheese and half a loaf of unwanted challah bread that my sister gave to me last time I bothered to go uptown to visit her.
When I was only 8 years old, I was down at the beach for the weekend and I wanted to buy a fishing pole so that I could fish off of our dock. Instead of waiting around for my mom or dad to ask them for the $50 dollars or so I needed to buy the fishing pole, I went inside to our refrigerator and grabbed all of the boxes of carrots dippers. I laid out a beach towel on the sidewalk and neatly put the carrot dippers on the towel with a sign that said, “I need a fishing pole-Carrots $5”, perhaps it was a little over priced but who can resist an 8 year old boy who just wants to go fishing. After a couple hours of constant foot traffic I had sold all my carrots. When my mom got home I was sitting on the beach with my brand new fishing pole in my hands.

[Background] Gilles : I grew up in Laos, Morocco and New York. Phatcharapol : Were you happy there? Gilles :In Laos I was too young to remember, In New York I had a lot of fun and in Morocco was the best time in my life because the weather there was very gorgeous.
But, no. We had to unpack our gear, prepare the ground, put up the tent, and then think about food. That wasn’t going to be a quick trip to the frig for ice cream and soda. We needed a camp fire, a place to put our staples so bears wouldn’t get into them, and the meal itself—trout. That meant we had to get our fishing gear ready and wade out to the depth so cold streams and running leeches!
We begin packing for our beach trip shortly after school is out for summer. The kids’ beach toys are crammed in the back of the car, and we are stuffed like sardines into the car with the week's groceries packed in any possible spot they will fit. My dad always insists that we take everything with us; it would be a sin to spend good beach time at the grocery store. The trip down is miserable, and we make our traditional one and only stop somewhere for supper. I was taught early on that there are limited drinks on travel day because bathroom breaks are unheard of.
