Visiting Egypt

There are many places to visit in the world that are not in your country. It could be a country that you have not heard anything about, or it could be a country that you have heard a lot about. Most people visit countries that they have heard a lot about because then it makes them appealing. Other times the person would visit the country on business, not because it is appealing. But for the ones that are for pleasure, it is because of its appeal. I would like to visit a foreign country because of its appeal and that country is Egypt.

I would like to visit Egypt because once upon a time the pharaohs ruled Egypt. They had their hidden tombs and their hieroglyphics in the desert. The Nile River is close by to it and they have the famous and beautiful pyramids. They even have the Great Sphinx statues and statues of pharaohs with their noses blown off to try to hide the fact that they had big noses. All of these things make Egypt appealing and it makes me want to visit it. I would want to walk through the desert, visit the pyramids and tombs, and brings souvenirs home. I would be able to talk to some of the natives there and even try to make a long-distant relationship with a friend.

In conclusion, the foreign country I would like to visit is Egypt. It is appealing because of its tombs, pyramids, statues, hieroglyphics, and its close proximity to the Nile River. I would visit there also to associate with the natives.

Semester Persuasive Essay#5

24. Some people prefer to live in the quiet of the country, others prefer the hustle and bustle of the city. Which do you think is the better choice? State your position and support it with specific reasons and examples.

Have you ever been to the city where there is a whole lot of noise and there are a whole lot of people that surround you? Or have you been to the country where there almost total quietness every time you are there and there are not as many people there? Most people would prefer the hustle and bustle of the city. Although the country allows you to see the night sky perfectly and is quiet, I believe that the city is better to live in because you would be sort of safe, more prepared for the world, and you would have more things to do for fun.

The city would be a lot safer than the country because even though crime is higher in the cities, you would be able to reach help faster. Let us just say that you were wandering in the country, you were all alone, you do not own a cell phone and you are nowhere near your house or your neighbor’s house. You fell and deeply cut your thigh when you tried to jump out of the tree. There would not be any help nearby close enough to help you, since the houses are so spread apart. On the other hand, if you in a city like New York, you would be able to find help immediately because there is always someone there to help you not to bleed to death.

You would be more prepared for the world when you live in the city because you are surrounded by many and different people. When you finally go into the work force, there are going to be people who are different who you are going to have to deal with. If you are going to have a job in finances, you are going to require working in an office of some type. In the city, you have those opportunities to work at those kinds of places since they would be closer to your home. If you lived in the city, there would not be any opportunities that you would be able to take to learn how to coup in the corporate world.

The city also has more fun things than the country. In the city you could go to your malls, your fairs, your water and theme parks, your ice skating rinks, roller skating rinks, your movie theaters, and your museums. Even though the country may have a few of these things, they do not have all of them. You cannot possibly have a much fun in the country than in the city. It is also more fun because the city has more people in it, so that means that there could have more people having fun at the same time instead of just three or four people.

In conclusion, the city is better to live in than the country. The city has more safety regarding your health, a better view of the corporate world, and more fun. If a city has all of this and the country does not have all of it, I know I would rather stay in the city where I already am. You should live in the city, it is for the best!

Figures of Speech Poems

1.     Fear lives in the corner of your house,

Wearing the color of its own shadow,

Waiting to emerge and conquer the empty places of your mind.

Bravery presents itself to me in a box,

It is brown and needs to be opened up,

Then it would show on my face with many colors.

2.     Love blossoms like a rose in a garden,

The color of red on its petals,

Growing day after day until it stops.

As love leaves the garden the rose wilts,

It becoming dull and very grey,

Dead to the world with a broken heart.

3.     Happiness glows from a smile in the sun

Wearing the brightness of the brightest white

Filling your body with its warmness

Sadness brings tears in dark corners

Falling in clear wet streaks down the walls of your inside

Melancholy surrounds your vicinity

Attending College In Another State

College is a very big step that many high school graduates take when they get out of high school. They could go to a community college a four year university, a junior college, a private college, or even a college that is about nine hours away from your home. Either way it is a big step. But while others decide to stay inside their home state, others go to another state to attend college. Those who chose to go to another state have to make another additional step before they could attend that college.

The steps that that person would take are actually quite simple. First they would have to figure out if they would stay in the dorms or with a relative or friend, if they had any in that state. Second, they would have to figure out how they would pay for the out of state admissions tax because they are from another state. Third, they would have to actually go to the other state and find transportation, like maybe an airplane or a train. And finally, they would need to figure out if they were going to spend time with their family often because if so, they would need to arrange for future transportation. Other than that there is nothing more that the person needs to do.

In conclusion, you have to do some things before you attend college in another state. Some of these things may include finding a way to pay for the out of state tax and finding a place to stay when you are there. So, are you planning on attending college in another state? If so, I hope I helped you out.

Birthday Celebration

Have you ever wanted to have the best birthday party for your best friend? Well, I know that I have wanted that for a pretty long time and since their birthday is coming up fast, I want to throw them a party. I want this party to be so great that they would reminisce about it every time they had the chance to hang out with me. It would show how great of a friend that I am and would make me feel so much better that they think that about me. So, I have to make a plan.

The plan would go very well because I would be planning it. It would be a surprise birthday party because they have never had one before. I would get a cake specially made by the finest bakery in town. All of the decorations would be from designers. I would invite all of their closest friends. It would be in the hotel room at Disney Land, since my best friend has always wanted to go there. I would tell my best friend that I was just going there to pick something up from my Uncle so my best friend would not suspect a thing. Once the party was over, I would take my best friend to Disney Land and ride all of the rides. After the day was over I would ask my best friend what she thought about the day.

So, that is what I would do for my best friend’s birthday party. It would be very surprising to my best friend and it would be the birthday my best friend would remember. What would you do for your best friend’s birthday?

Living In Another Decade

There are many time periods that people wish they could live in. I know for a fact that many people would might want to live during the time where the women wore corsets and did not expose their skin like they do today. Or maybe they would want to live during the decade where break dancing was all hip and cool. Or maybe they would even want to live in a futuristic decade where you would not know what to expect. As you may have noticed people could have different decades that they would choose to live in. I know this because I would want to be different and live during the 1900’s.

During the 1900’s, the Wright Brothers had decided to learn how to fly with their airplane models. I would want to live during this decade because it would give me the chance to see all of the fascinating inventions from the Wright Brothers and I would be able to see all of the airplanes and how they would be different than modern day airplanes. The only thing that would be disturbing would the fact that I would have to become White. I would not think it would be safe for me to remain Black while going back to the time where Black people were not welcome in the White community.

In conclusion, if I were to live in any decade I would choose the 1900’s. I would choose this decade because I would be able to see the first airplanes. The only bad thing about living in that decade would be the fact that I am Black and we were not really welcomed back in the day.

Appreciating Your Parents

Can you imagine a world without parent? I know that most people would think it would be great if there were no parents around to nag them about cleaning the room or to invade the privacy of your own room. But I would think that it would not go very good. My younger siblings would probably burn our house down and eat all the food in one day if we had no parents. I would not want that to happen. That is one of the reasons why we should appreciate our parents.

There are many different reasons why you should appreciate your parents. If they were not there, who would feed you or clothe you? Who would make sure you got good grades in school or made sure you had a place to rest your head? If you do not appreciate your parents you would reap what you sowed. Since you did not appreciate your parents, your children did not appreciate you. Would you like for that to happen? I know I would not want for that to happen because I rather feel appreciated than not appreciated. You should also appreciate your parents because they are the ones who looked after you when you could not even talk or walk properly.

In conclusion, there are many reasons to appreciate your parents. Your parents are the ones that took care of you, gave you food to eat, and brought you into this world. It would be nice to appreciate your parents. Can you think of more reasons to appreciate your parents?

Welcome to America

If I were to be asked to write an article about a person coming into my country from another country there would be many things that I would need to include in the article. They must be really famous if I was to write an article about this person, since ordinary people who have not done anything spectacular are not in articles.  Since this person is famous or a hero the article that I would have to write would be quite different from any other article that would mention something about oil.

There are many things that you would need to know about a person who has come to your country and they are foreign. First off, you would have to have information about the person’s personal account. Things like their name, where they are from, and if they have a family would be included. Second off, you would need to include information on why that person has decided to come to your country, whether it is for a better lifestyle of for some business. And finally, you could add some information like odd facts about the person depending on who it was. If it is a celebrity, then this would be okay to write this last part in the article.

You would need to put in who is coming and why and those are the two most important things that you need. Other things like random facts could also go in this article.

Family History

Preserving a family’s history is a very important thing that many people do and do not do. It really helps a person know their roots and their ancestors so there would not be many questions asked about who they really are. Some people already have others in their family that already gathers information about the family, so by the time you look at it, it is already done. I am one of the people who have already known my history because someone in my family has done that. But, it is still important to know things about your family by asking your older relatives directly.

When you preserve your history, you need to ask certain questions to your older relative. Some of these questions may include: Where are our ancestors from, who married into the family, who had the most children, was there anyone famous in our family, how far back can you remember your history, and how big is our family? These are just some of the few questions that you should ask your older relatives in order to know and preserve your history. Once you have done that, you would be able to be more confident to who you are and you would be able to pass done they information you have obtained when you grow old enough for your younger relatives to ask you questions about their family history.

In conclusion, you should ask questions to older relatives in order to preserve your family history. One of the questions could be where are our ancestors from? When you get to ask these questions you would be able to carry on your family history. Now, are you going to start asking questions because if so, that would be great?

How to Choose the Right College

When you are about to graduate from your senior year, if you are deciding to go to college right after high school, you are probably still deciding what college you want to go to. You have probably already had a list of choices of schools that you were accepted into and the ones that you have considered going to. It may seem difficult to find the right college that you would think would best fit you, but that should not discourage you from giving up on deciding. In order to choose the right college you would have to think about your expectations, how far you want to be away from your parents, and how much money do you want to spend.

When you are looking for the right college, you would have to listen to what your gut tells you. If it tells you that the college needs to be near your parent, follow your gut. If it tells you that you need to stay at a college that is not overly expensive, follow your gut. If it tells you to go that college that has very nice dorms and a nice big and open library where the students are friendly, then follow your gut. The point of this is, if you do not follow what your gut tells you, then you would not know which college would suit you the most.

In conclusion, if you follow what you gut tells you, you would be able to pick out the right college. No one is stopping you other than yourself, so it only matters what you think. If you think the cheaper college is for you, then that is the right college choice for you.

Making the Community Better

Have you ever imagined what it would be like if you were able to look at your community and be completely amazed at how successful it regarding the living aspect? I know I have thought of this many times and I believe that t here are some ways that I could make my community a better place to live in and a place that would make everyone feel appreciated. Even though these ideas may seem impossible to achieve, I believe that we should raise money to fix up all broken down houses and clean up our community.

I believe that if we follow these two things living conditions would be way better than what there are now. Just imagine going into an entire neighborhood and noticing that not one street was filled with trash and all of the houses were all fixed up. Would you just stand there in awe with how a community could be something so clean? Once again, I know for a fact that I would be that person. The thing is we should not be shocked that a community would look like that. In fact, we should not even think in shock that a community could look presentable. If we could fix up every community by fixing up all of the broken houses and cleaning up all of the trash, we would see that we should not be shocked, but pleased at what we could do to our community.

In conclusion, we should raise money to fix broken down houses and clean up trash in our community. It would make the community a better living environment. It would also bring us pride to say that is our community.

A Typical Day

Life is everything. Everything lives and breathes that is living. I am a living thing; therefore I am a human creature. Every day that I live I usually go through a routine that I really do not like at the moment. This routine could also be classified as a typical day in my life. Since I am so generous I am going to tell you about a typical day of my life.

Since I mostly only go out on week days, I am going to tell you what I do on a typical Monday. I usually get up at 5:30 to the sound of my mother waking me up trying to get me to get up. I usually end up going back to sleep and waking up thirty minutes later. I go to the bathroom and do my business and get dressed. I then go eat some breakfast and it would be around 6:40. I then leave the house because I have an early class and I have to walk to the bus stop to catch the bus for school. I arrive at my school at 7:10 and I wait for my teacher to come. I then go to my other three classes for the day. I then catch the bus straight home after school, if I do not have to walk home with my brother. I then do my homework, chores, and read until it is time to go to shower. Then I go to bed about 1:00 a.m.

As you can see, I have a very boring life. I do not do anything, but chores, homework, and read. I just go to school and do nothing else. Even though I did not mention this on Wednesday, I usually go to my explorer meetings. Other than that, my typical day in my life is bland

Cabbage

There are many foods that people end up not liking in their lifetime. It could be a certain type of meat, a type of vegetable, or maybe even a certain type of dessert. There is even a food that I truly dislike and I will always dislike it. That certain food is a type of vegetable. I usually like most vegetables, but there are a few that I dislike and they are peas, lima beans, and brussels sprouts. But, the vegetable that I really truly dislike is cabbage.

 No matter what anyone might think or might tell me, I will never like cabbage. I think that it is truly disgusting and makes me want to gag. The smell also is very horrifying. It just makes me want to just run out of my house when my mom cooks it. I remember one time, my mother made some cabbage and she would not let me leave the table until I ate all of my serving of cabbage. The thing is, I ended up eating a very very small piece of the cabbage and nothing more. I eventually got away from the table without eating any more of the cabbage.

So, I guess you can tell that I do not like cabbage at all. I rather roll in the mud with a thousand pigs getting myself dirty than to eat cabbage. I hope that I will never have to deal with cabbage again, that way I would never actually have to roll in the mud with the pigs.

Spring

My favorite season is spring. I was born in the late spring, so that means I should have a natural like for spring. I would not choose any other season because summer is too hot, autumn is very boring, and winter brings coldness. My recent summer was spent in an adult school for something I did not want to do making me despise it. The autumn and winter bring memories of the police academy. Unlike any of the other seasons, spring brings life, some rain, and no strong boring or scary memories. It brings flowers to bloom and we have longer daylight days.

During the spring I could do a lot of things because it can be a little cool, warm, or a little hot. That way if I feel like it I could go swimming. I might stay outside and ride my bicycle. I might go and plant a garden, so they would be ready to harvest in the fall. I seem to get less sick during the spring. I also just like to go and read a good book that I find from the library or around my house.

Even though the spring seems a bit boring right now from reading what I wrote, I still like it better than the other seasons. Until I change my mind again, my favorite season is spring. I might change my mind about spring because of my indecisiveness. Who knows? Maybe next time I might say my favorite season is summer because of an exciting event occurred.

My Siblings and I Don't Get Along

Brothers and sisters have never got along in my eyes. It does not matter if it was only one disagreement that you have had with one of your siblings because the thing is that you still did not get along with them at that certain time. I know for sure that, in my house, my brother, sisters, and I do not get along with each other at many times during the day. There is never a day in my house where there is not an argument because there is always a problem.

There may problems in my house could be the result from anything. It could be because someone took someone else’s stuff. It could be because they are in a bad mood. It could be because someone did not keep their promise and swindled them out of the deal. It could also be because someone touched them and they did not want to be bothered with. There are so many other reasons to what cause why my brother, sisters, and I do not get along that I could not possibly put them all down. We could try to work these problems out by not doing anything that might get the other angry, but I cannot say this would help. For all I know, it could make things much worse.

In conclusion, my brother, sisters and I do not get along. We do not get along because of the things we might do that annoy them. We could try not doing the things that annoy them to solve the problem. The thing is, we do not know if that would really help us to get along.
