My friend name is Tola and she is a very wonderful girl. She lives in Africa and shex married to a wonderful husband and they have 3 wonderful kids.A beautiful woman blessed with advantages marries a handsome man for love, but the love eventually runs dry. Feeling as if her three children—a boy and two girls—“had been thrust upon her,” the narrator says, she resents them in her heart. Outwardly, however, she behaves as if she loves them dearly, and people say she is wonderful mother. She does not fool the children, however. They know she does not love them, nor anyone else. They see it in her eyes.The parents try various schemes to increase their income, but financial success eludes them.
.......And so the house comes to be haunted by the unspoken phrase: There must be more money!
.......At Christmas, even the rocking horse, the teddy bear, the big doll in its pram, and the puppy hear the phrase.
.......One day, Paul asks his mother, Hester, why the family always borrows the car of her brother, Oscar Creswell, instead of getting one of its own. She explains that they lack the money to buy one. When her husband tries to make more money, he has no luck. If you're lucky, she tells Paul, you have money. That is why it is better to be born lucky than rich. When asserts that he himself is lucky, his mother does not seem to believe him. Peeved at her lack of faith in him but wanting to prove himself to her, he goes off by himself wondering how to generate luck. In the following days, he rides his rocking horse in the nursery in a wild charge to nowhere while his sisters play with their dolls. Getting off, he commands the horse “to take me where there is luck,” then remounts it and rides on, whipping the horse on the neck with a lash Uncle Oscar bought for him. Paul's nurse, Miss Wilmot, cautions him that his rough riding will break the toy, and his sister Joan says, “I wish he’d leave off!”
.......When Uncle Oscar visits him one day with his mother, the boy is riding hard as usual.
.......“Riding a winner?” the uncle says.
.......His mother tells the boy that he is getting too big to be riding a rocking horse. But Paul does not respond until he completes his ride. When he dismounts, he says, “Well, I got there.” His mother asks where, and he says, “Where I wanted to go.” When Uncle Oscar asks what he named the horse, Paul says he has different names. In the previous week, his name was Sansovino, after the name of a horse that won the race at Ascot. His sister explains that the family’s gardener, Bassett, keeps Paul up to date on racing news. Basset, who served as Creswell's batman (military officer's assistant) in the war (the First World War, known in author Lawrence's time as the Great
From as long as I can remember my brother has always been my best friend, we have always been adjoined at the hip, despite our seven-year age gap. Our relationship has aged equivalently to a fine scotch, becoming more robust and smoother with time. Though disjoined by hundreds of miles our bond remains unyielding as if we still live in the same house. As I prepared to leave for college, I had time to reflect on some of the moments spent with my brother. Although all some of the times spent together…
it’s magic. This is what I call true friendship. Meet Hannah, my best friend for almost four years. It doesn’t matter the length of how long you’ve known them it’s really about who walked into your life, said “I’m here for you” and proved it. I could merely tell Hannah everything and could always count on her. Knowing this generation, I was lucky and fortunate enough to have such a great friend. I know I could call her my best friend because I could tell her everything and she wouldn’t judge me but…
It is human nature to form faction which people will form groups whose ideas are alike and share the same interest. This give the opportunity for the wants of the majority to oversee the rights of the minority. In the interest of men ambition must be made to counteract ambition; the checks and balance among the branches of government are impacted by this. Each branch hold individual powers for the governed but the other branches hold power to overrule decision made by one of the other branches if…
I lived in a really cold place. Me and my brothers and sisters all had one bunk bed that we all slept in. there were like 30 of us stacked up. I have lots of brothers and sisters. We lived in a neighborhood called the freezer. One day the sky opened up and this big thing lifted us in the another region where it is really hot. My parents had told me about this before right before they got moved to a fancy neighborhood called the oven. Maybe that’s where we’re going!!! I was being put on this big…
only things on my mind were the thoughts of school ending, and having a great time. I probably knew a little too much for someone my age, but that didn’t matter. I did not have many friends through elementary school, I never had a sleepover at a friends’ house or even went to one’s house for that matter. This did not bother me, because my closest friend was my step-father Landy. He was a perfect role model, a father figure, and an amazing friend to have. He was the father of my two younger siblings;…

Different Types of Friends: When I went to school there were three types of friends. The first type of friend is acquaintances. They are friends that you know their name but don’t know a whole lot about them, like where they live, if they have a brother or a sister, or what activities they like to do outside of school. If you are out in public and see them you might not recognize them, even if they are in your class on a regular basis. In some cases acquaintances can scare you if you just judge…
The concept of friendship is widely varied on a person’s personal experience and interactions with various people in their life time. Friendships vary from minor friends, or best friends to lovers and life partners. The way a person determines a friendship is often the same in the various people I have interviewed and is often positive aspects in nature. Many of the people I interviewed looked for characteristics such as: honesty, trustworthiness, dependability, and reliability. People seek out…
one of a kind relationship I have with my dog is a true example of the statement “mans best friend.” Whether, it’s the excitement of waking up every morning to that cute face, the extreme amounts of fun we have together at that park, or going the extra step to make a safe Sunday dinner so she feels part of the family. What ever it may be I always know she will be right by my side. Having the pleasure of waking up every morning to the wet and slimy tongue of my dog is better then any alarm clock imaginable…
