... 100 cannons to be close to the British but still be under protection. Soldiers were moved to the area and issued shovels and picks. It was truly a patriotic moment to see General Washington break the first ground at the Siege of Yorktown. We had sent a small band of men to the western side of us to fire on the British. Our plan worked and all the British inside were soon firing on them while we dug our trenches. When dawn came around they saw their mistake and started firing on us but no harm was done. It took nine days to dig all of the trenches. Finally on October 15th we were prepared to start the siege. As the American Flag rose ten cannons fired s ...

... him both loved and perhaps a little feared. Some students commented on his reputation as a tough teacher and they tried to avoid his classes. Most who had him as a teacher said he pushed hard but treated them with respect. Not only was he held in high esteem by his students, but with some of his colleagues as well. In his spare time—he coached kids’ swimming and the debate team. He was a favorite man because his life was intertwined with so many others. He was like your best friend and your father, all in one. He spent his time away from work with family and friends. Mr. Wang died of a heart attack in his classroom. Everyone was shocked. W ...

... all agreed that we should eat at a nice restaurant and then go to the zoo where we could eat some more and see the animals then probably eat some more. Daddy was a bit tense and growly, his usual demeanor when traffic was thick as it was on that Friday morning. "Everyone and their Grandma is on this one road to Denver," he grumbled. My Daddy is claustrophobic. He hates traffic which is the main reason I think we moved long ago to Wyoming, the land of wide-open spaces. "You can drive more than a hundred miles on a Wyoming highway without seeing another car," Daddy would often brag. That was not the case, however, in Colorado. The cars were lined up one after a ...

... up, not like this!" "Misty, The Rocket Empire is killing people as we speak! You can't..." Ash was cut off. "I don't care I'm going up to fight!" Misty said. Her mind was obviously made up, she went storming up the tunnel and disappeared. Ash sat there a couple of minutes then decided to follow her. "Misty wait up!" he yelled. Ash wasn't prepared for what awaited him, Misty's home town of Cerulean City was practically destroyed. The Gym was on fire and Rocket Troops were already setting up a garrison. Ash could here Misty commanding her Pokemon not far away, he followed the voice and found Misty battling a Rocket Troop. The Troop was a big muscular man with ...

... I was 18 months old which left me very sick. When I was two years old my parents got a divorce. This began a long series of moves for me. Mom and I moved to Knoxville to live with my maternal grandmother, and I often stayed with my aunts while Mom and Grandmother worked. When I was four, Mom got remarried, and we moved to Jacksonville, North Carolina. We lived in a duplex for six months, just long enough for the three of us to find a house.

In October of that same year Mom gave birth to my sister Kira. In 199 ...

... but as dark fell he came across a cave. He walked in and saw light coming from the back of the cave. He walked on and on until he came to it. There, in the light was the old man with the book. "I wandered you not to come here boy," said the older man. "You don't understand what power this book has over people. I can not stop you from taking this book, but I can warn you.

... deal more involved than what you may have bargained for. Around September in 1995, my wife was watching Bob on television. He was installing a new set of kitchen cabinets in an old house. Well, she decided that I needed to do the same thing because it was a very simple and non time consuming project. She said that Bob did it in thirty minutes and so could I. She took me to "Home Depot" in Orange Park and picked out her new kitchen cabinets. I was a little unsure about this kitchen cabinet thing, but the salesman assured us that the entire project would be a "turn key" installation. The salesman asked me if I wanted them to deliver the materials. ...

... The knob rolled down the steps and kept on rolling down the driveway, and stopped by the fence. That didn't make John feel any better at all. He looked like he had seen a ghost. I took a deep breath, and pushed the door. It wouldn't budge an inch. « Help me out», I said, but John kept chewing his nails. God knows why, there was nothing to be scared of. Or was it? I took a step backwards, and then kicked the door. It slowly slid open, and I went inside. «Wow! What a huge mansion we've got here!» John took a peek into the house, but didn't dare go inside. There was a huge hall in the middle of the house, with staircases to my left and right. I went right ahead, tow ...
