"National Free Shopping Day" (one free item per person)

My name is Tiffany and i would like to propose a new holiday called "National Free Shopping Day". This new holiday will help many people that would like to get an item that they can not afford or do not want to spend money on. The purpose of national free shopping day is to have everyone to have something that they always wanted for free. Having one day or getting free items will make people more likely to begin shopping at the store after and also make everyone aware of the new holiday. The date of holiday will be at 12:01 am to 8am on January 1st. I choose those times because many people is out celebrating the new years and also welcoming the New Year with one day of free shopping. Everyone will have a fresh start. People who would be in charge on what would be sold will be the managers.They will choice what they want to be sold for free to the customers so the store would not lose valuable merchandise and leave the store empty.

Helpers can be workers that was hired from the store and also volunteers. Volunteers can be from the same community and have many helping hands so National free shopping day will not be chaos like Black Friday. To be invited in the national free shopping day you will have to be a member of the store (similar to Bj's). Basically anyone can be invited as long as you sign up to become a member of the store. The national free shopping day will be located at selected stores. Some activities will involved games for children to get free items.


"He tied his boat off and started to climb the cliffs.He knew that no one had lived to tell what was behind the cloud, but still he climbed."
Its going to be a dangerous mission. One mistake, one slip can have him tumbling back down to the earth floor. Its been 5 days on the boat traveling to get to the mystery island. Elders say.. "Whom who gone to the island and went up the mountain, never came back".
Michael. The courageous young man. Michael have heard all the tales of the mystery mountain when her was a child. Always dreamed, one day going up there and coming back to the city and telling everyone his experience.
"Michael you must have lost your mind". Michael's girlfriend Christina shouted out to him. "Its always been my dream, i have to go and no one is going to stop me". Michael replied calmly. This conversation continuously appearing in his mind while leaving his home in North Alaska. Very cold but also very motivated, Michael keeps on climbing, not stopping until he reaches the top.

This photo represents a women named Terri Gurrola and she is reunited with her daughter after serving in Iraq for 7 months. This photo expresses a lot of feelings. I can imagine how Terri felt when she finally see her daughter and held her in her arms. I see a very relieved mother to finally get to see her daughter. Terri is hugging her daughter tight and crying. I know this was the happiest moment in Terri’s life when she have laid eyes on her daughter. 7 months is a very long time. Especially when you have a child back home, wondering how she’s doing, how fast she’s growing up and your child never leaving your mind. While Terri was fighting in the war, I know her daughter was the only person on her mind. Many people that serve in the military have a friends and family back home they stay on their mind. Its very hard for them because there lives are in danger and not sure if they will make it home safely. I know being away from some one you care about so much hurts a lot. The feelings is the worse that anyone can experience because no one knows if they will ever see their loved ones again. I think while this picture was being taken I believe that Terri and her daughter did cried when they see each other. Terri felt like the happiest women alive to finally see her daughter. Also the mother and daughter had a lot of catching up to do after being apart for 7 months. Terri has missed a lot from being away for so long. Relationships between mothers and daughters can be special and close, but they can also be thorny and problematic. Some mothers and daughters are best friends. Others talk once a week. Some see each other weekly; others live in different states or countries. Some spar regularly. Some avoid conflict, but this little girl was separated by her mom from war. I know every day Terri Gurrola daughter would think about her mother every day and every night. Vice Versa with Terri Gurrola. She was fighting for her country. Also she was fighting to return home to her daughter and family. This is a very touching scene depicted here reveals her deep emotional commitment to her family, and to her country, as she hugs her young daughter, having been in Iraq. We need to bring our troops home. So many other can experience the happiness and joy of finally reuniting with there family and friends after being gone for long. This picture of Terri Gurrola and her daughter brought tears to my eyes. The photo is very inspiring. For all the troops in war right now have a lot of courage and bravely to go out and fight for our country and many of our troops do not never return. Imagine your loved one when off to war and they have never return. Being a small child and not having one of your parents there watch you grow up in to a independent adult. But instead you have to struggle and deal with the fact that your mother or father is gone forever because of the horrible wars that be taken place in this world. This photo will inspire Terri Gurrola to push further in life and also stand tall and stay strong for her daughter and family. Terri Gurrola is a very strong person she was not ashamed of breaking down in tears after finally seeing her daughter. Every second will seem like forever being away from the one you loved. I strongly believe that Terri Gurrola had many thoughts and prayers going threw her mind when she was finally leaving Iraq and coming back to America. The only thought she had in her mind was her beautiful daughter. The first site the first hug the first sound. Of her daughter would have made Terri cried. If I was in her shoes I would have done the same actions. I would not believe in a my own flesh and blood and leaving to go to war in another country. Praying everything, hoping I will come back. If I was Terri Gurrola I would break down in tears every day. I would be scared of death, I would be scared of fighting for our country. I like to help out other people but I do not want to have the possible chance of losing my own life. Terri Gurrola is really a lucky women. She have God on her shoulders watching over her and her family. You would have to be a very strong and confident person to become a troop and fight in these wars. All they have is faith and God to protect them but the horrible people out here in this world.  Many lose their lives to protect the ones that they love and give all it takes to protect the innocent and there country. Imagine the pain? Imagine the suffering? Imagine the troopers mind. War tears people apart but also bring many closer together. Imagine being the little girl in this image. I know she would pray every night to finally see her mother and praying that she made it through the day safely and unharmed. Terri Gurrola and her daughter inspired thousands of people with this photo. This photo touched many hearts. Brought many tears and joy to thousands of people. Many of people in this world also feel her pain and relief. God bless Terri Gurrola and her family and also many of the other troops in war right now, fighting to come home and be reunited with their loved ones similar to Terri and her daughter. A lot of people in this world could not imagine the feeling the pain troopers feel while being out of the country. God stays with them and tries his best to save as much lives as possible.

Short Story is in First-person narrative !



Move To Los Angeles.


We really do love The Big Apple. We are packing today and moving by tommorow. I don't want to leave, I was born here. It's sad to leave this place. Me and my mother have huge plans for me in Los Angeles.  Before we get ready for the long 45 hour drive across the country, i take one last adventure around the city. I want to become a photographer when i get older. Photography is my passion. Im only 15 years old and i already have a career goal. While walking down 42nd street, i take numerous photos of the people and buildings around me to reminisce the city and how much i loved being here in New York.
"Novemeber 3, 2010"-
"Alex!" My mother called out me, "Its time to load the truck". It was moving day. My mother always said it was time to move on and find a better life.. but not in the city of New York. I was apathetic i never wanted to move to California. We had no choice to move my mom have lost her job. I looked over the boxes a final time and sighed heavily. My heart ached to leave the city. Getting in the car driving farther and farther away saying goodbye to the only place i thought was home. I had many problems on my mind that i know i would have to face once i get to California. Its hard for a introvert kid to make new friends in school. The drive was astonishing many sites to see and i made a album of all the states me and my mother stopped in. The different towns the farms the people. It was a whole new view.
"November 10, 2010"-
Finally arrived in California. Our new house was much bigger than where we use to live in New York and nice and peaceful. Completely opposite than being in a busy city. We have moved with my aunt Carole. For the past couple days i have stayed in my room and look threw all my photo albums. "Alex would you like to see photographers in action" my mother walked in the room. "Of course!" Immediately i jumped up and grabbed my jacket. My mother have took me down town to a school of photography. I really thought this was the best day of my life. All around me was cameras and lights, I was overwhelmed. My mother have let me stayed with the camera crew for a couple hours while she went out job hunting. Learning hands on was providential for me i did not know a lot about photography expect of what i have seen on the internet. I felt very fortunate i had the time of my life. After this day i knew Los Angeles was the place for me to learn and be the best at photographer i can be...

During Hurricane Sandy when it started raining, the weather was not bad at all it was windy. After the first day of Sandy the weather became harsh. Trees began falling down, water began to rise and start floods. I lost my power during the storm for a week. Many people have lost there homes and lost relatives but i did not experience damages to my home and my family was safe.
After Sandy I have had no power and every store and gas station was shut down. It was very cold and no food, me and my family went to Delaware where there was power and was not affected by the storm as much. Me and my family did okay after the storm have occur. My mother still had to go to work in New York.A couple days after the hurricane my mother have called me from the city and she have said "I have ran out of gas looking for gas". Many of the gas stations was close and the ones that will be open will have a line that will go on for hours. My mom did not have enough time to find a shorter line at the gas station. My mother was stuck in New York. But have also have a house in NY and my mother was safe and had a place to stay for a couple days.
Hurricane Sandy taught us how to be there for each other, give out a helping hand and also learn how to deal with a tragedy. Many people have donated money and purchase food and water for the people that was affected from the storm and that have no way to survive and make it on there own. Long days with out help from the destruction and long cold dark nights. I could imagine how people can feel that will have to try and keep there families warms and with food on there plate without power. Hurricane Sandy was a major problem, but it have also brought us together and to help other when there in need of help.

The Poem of Adventure

Deep inside the mountain
the adventures hide themselves.
They are of all forms and shapes.
They all have an excellent ending,
because those that life their lives in adventure
see the world in an extra ordinary special way.

To attract the adventures into the patterns of habit
you only need to close your eyes
and ask them to embrace you.
You can also imagine that you are transparent
and feel the wind stream through you
instead of going against you.
Or imagine there are tiny little wings on your back
and every time you take a new step you bounce a bit.

Maybe life it self is one big adventure
if only you have the correct shades on.


This poem means to think about adventure differently, not a wild place but some where to  live life and enjoy the free land. A lot of people like Chris McCandless enjoy the thrill of adventure, and like to feel free and let the wind carry him. Chris McCandless have experience many things in his life, throughout his adventure around the country Chris have been through many different states. McCandless enjoyed the first couple months in Alaska, as the poem states " 
because those that life their lives in adventure see the world in an extra ordinary special way ". That sentence describes Chris to the full extent. Chris have thought of the world as an amazing place to be and wanted to discover new things in life and want to be part of the wild.

Wild And Free! 

Heart pounding in my chest,
snow flying up from my paws,
ears laid flat against my head,
tongue flapping from my mouth,
my frosty breath steaming the air,
cold, hard ground beneath me,
a round white moon rising behind me,
mountains looming all about me,
the shimmering aurora dancing above me,
starlight shining down on me,
freezing winds blowing about me,
howls sounding from deep inside me,
loyal pack-mates running beside me,
the whole of the North before me,
everything to do and all to see,
just us wolves being wild and free! 


This poem is mainly a wolves point of view. It explain how it can make a person feel when there wild and free. It will make them feel like a wolf. Wondering around, go where it wants and be free. No rules. No worries. No responsibilities. Chris always wanted that feeling, not to care about nothing of where he will end up. Chris did not want to follow rules and mainly have no responsibilities and do not want to think about anyone or vise versa. When Chris was out in the wild he did not care about where he was going. His only plan was to make it to Alaska and feel whats its like to be free.

Imagine that you are an investigative reporter for the local paper.  Using the evidence that you gathered in your planner, plan and compose a brief narrative to be published about whether or not Pipin was involved in Audrey’s death.  Your narratives should have a strong topic for your audience and rely heavily on evidence from your reading.  Articles should have a title and be at least two paragraphs in length.  Pictures are a plus!

Pipin was not involved in Audreys' death. Audrey wanted to go 561 fee, 36 less than him that is the deepest a human have ever gone. The terrible weather had a big effect on there dive. Pinin realise she was going down too slow. Pascal was trying him self to get her above the water.

Audrey 538 feet deep and the valve was not inflating. Due to the lack of help Pipin and the other safetly men was there to do. Pipin tried to help her get air but it was already to late. They tried as fast as they can to bring her back so she can get air, but they have failed. Pipin would have not wanted anything dangerous to happen to his wife.

Chris's adventure would have been different with access to today's technology!

Chris's adventure would have changed a whole long is he had access to today's technology. While being out in the wild Chris would have GPS and he would never get lost. Is Chris also had a cell phone i do not think he would have ever died on his journey. Technology helps a lot, Chris would have gone to Alaska quicker and easier and just one straight road with out any problems.
