Symbolism Post

In a little town called Fane, a girl named Katherine has the perfect life. She has great grades, many friends, and she loves the town she lives in. She likes to follow the rules and does everything her parents tell her to. Katherine's best friend, Taylor, is very different from Kathrine. She is very adventurous, takes risks, and doesn't follow the rules. Most of all Taylor cannot stand Fane. She thinks the town is too small and hates the fact that everyone knows each other.

Katherine and Taylor are both seniors and can't wait for college. They were doing homework together when Katherine says, "So are you excited for FSU?", Taylor looks up slowly and responds humorously, "I'm not going to FSU". Taylor then explained that she can't wait to get out of this town and as far away from everyone as she could. Katherine felt as though her best friend betrayed her and couldn't even look at her. Kathrine explained, "I already know everyone here and it is time to have some change, It isn't because of you, I just think I could do so much better somewhere else." Taylor got so upset and ran off so fast Kathrine didn't have enough time to respond. 

It was getting late and Taylor had left quietly. Kathrine was thinking about what she had said, when she noticed that Taylor left her glasses. She tried them on and instantly could see better. She realized she has been needing glasses for so long. That night she was so tired and fell asleep with the glasses. 

That morning she felt different. That whole day she wore Taylor's glasses and looked at the town a whole new way. She realized if she stayed in her hometown she would be missing out on so many different things. When she got home he tore up her applications and started to look at other colleges. 

That one day changed Kathrine's life forever. She now travels the world interviewing all types of people. If she had never opened her eyes she might have hated her job. 

The glasses symbolized taking chances and to open your eyes to look at the big picture. When Kathrine opened her eyes she had a better life and happier life.

Thanksgiving is definitely not my favorite holiday. I know that sounds bad, but let me explain. All of my mom's family comes to Baton Rouge and they all stay at my house. All of my cousins are near my age and they are nice, but they must have an obsession with messing up my room, because every time I walk in there, everything is moved around and then I have to go rearrange it. So many people in one house is very stressful enough. I really love the food because my mom lets me help her cook the small foods. It's the most fun part because my mom's mom and her sister and my cousins all like to help in the kitchen. What is annoying is that one of my aunts is obsessed with taking pictures so she makes us all stop what we are doing and smile like we love taking pictures... If I could change anything about Thanksgiving, I would do it with just my family and my friends' families and we would all stay at the beach.

F.B.I. Raids Office of Trump’s Longtime Lawyer Michael Cohen

F.B.I. Raids Office of Trump’s Longtime Lawyer Michael Cohen; Trump Calls It ‘Disgraceful’   by Matt Apuzzo. This article written  about Michael Cohen, who works for Donald Trump. He was raided Monday Morning. The F.B.I. had a warrant going to his house and office taking emails, documents, records and many other documents concerning Donald Trump. The author's opinion doesn't seem very opinionated , just factual. I would guess that the author is not in favor of Donald Trump since the writer works for the New York Times, but it's very hard to tell.  The raid definitely  means that there will be something to find connecting the affair of Trump and Stormy Daniels. What confuses me is why Trump calls it 'breaking in' if they had the right to raid because of a warrant. I think that Trump is trying to make it sound like the FBI are the ones who are in trouble. I chose this article because I heard about what happened this morning and I love the New York Times and how i...

Tarpon Gallore

           The Virgin Islands was such a cool place and absolutely breathtaking. I never thought it could be so cool at night as well. When we would turn on the underwater lights on the boat 75 pound Tarpon would swarm the boat like bees to the honey. The Tarpon seemed so interested in the light and they would never leave the back of our boat.             We immediately got our swimsuits on and our snorkel gear on, and we jumped on them! It felt like you were in a shark tank. I got so close to them and they didn’t even swim away. It was really striking when I dove down to the bottom and looked up to see all the fish. That was one of the coolest experiences I have yet!
