1. The basketball star shoots and, as if knowing he would, wears an arrogant look on his face when he scores.

2. I lied about who I was just to be with him, and now I can see the displeasure in his eyes as he turned and walked away.

3. I got startled when the little dalmatian ran into me, licking my calves, and I realized the lonely stray was benign, just looking for reassurance and a home.

4. She is the nicest girl ever; she accepts people no matter how they are and doesn't judge them. But she is intolerant of people who swear.

1. For a guy like Hitler, even if he is alive and caught, chances are that he will not rehabilitate himself.

2. I know he made a huge mistake, but he cried and begged for my forgiveness, and how mean would I be if I didn't give him clemency.

3. I strained my arms and legs to climb the tree, scrapes and bruises on my knees, but the butterfly was just too elusive.

4. The fight is over, and I just lost a friend, it is terribly a huge depressing anguish.

Simon Bae. His curly, brownish blond hair lay just below his ears. His crystal, blue eyes imitated the clear Atlantic Ocean, shimmering whenever light bounces onto the surface. His hard-rock shoulders complimented his stream-lined body. When he smiles, his teeth were so white they make pearls look dirty. His shirt was translucent, showing parts of his body, and when he walks, confidence seeps through him like a two-thousand dollar Calvin Klein cologne.

Hi Daddy,

     You have to come back to Vietnam soon. I know you are busy with your Japanese cooking with all the onion volcanoes and utensil tricks. But Vietnam’s a cool place too, and if you can start a new business over here, think of how much money you’ll be making! No one does that kind of cooking over here, and you’ll be starting a new trend. Everyone will want to do it, and you’re going to be one of a kind. Since you were born in Vietnam, you will find it easier to interact with the people over here. They will be interested in what you’re doing; where as people in America won’t be as much into it because most of them have that job in where you live.


     Having an unbelievable cooking talent like yours is a factor that every Japanese restaurant must have. And although America has the most resources and is more creative in ways of doing things, Vietnam is lacking that. So what you could do for OUR people is spread a unique way of making foods that we don’t eat here. Plus, we can be with each other more often. I miss you!

Your Princess,
ViVi ♥

4. Lacking knowledge, he went around inquiring people of the science academy.

1. The sleepover is going to take up the whole night, and to kill time, my friend and I amiably paint each other's toenails.

2. It was presumptuous when he said he could win the Spelling Bee without even studying.

3. Credulity was a weakness that she couldn't overcome when the stranger took her into the dark alley.

4. The group home promised hospitality to the supernaturals.

5. As the rabbit grew old, its fur was gnarled and hard to comb.

1. The stage light shone on me unexpectedly, with sweat running down the apples of my cheeks, I made an impromptu speech to stall time.

2. Mr. Patrick was going on and on about how aliens look so different from us, and what they eat and do, so I was only tentatively listening to what he had to say.

3. I could feel the pupils in my eyes widen and my stomach fluttered with butterflies. I snapped out of looking at the guy intently when my friend slapped my arm.

4. Tears running down my face, ruining my make-up. So I went probing my bag for the compact mirror.

5. A thunder sounded. A lightning bolt struck. I looked up to see an ominous bank of clouds as precipitation falls.
