life, like my first time riding a roller coaster. It was the summer of 2009, my family and I were in California for our vacation. It was a very hot and sunny day; It was so hot, that it felt like my flesh was being burned. We were on our way to Knott’s Berry Farm(theme park). From what I heard Knott’s Berry Farm is one of the best theme parks in California. So I was pretty excited, but at the same time I was scared because I had never ridden a roller coaster before. When we arrived at the
line to the roller coaster slowly shorten to only a few people. After standing in the long line, I got on the roller coaster. But I still remember how scared I was by the end of the ride. As I got off, I thought to myself, “How could I not have known that the roller coaster I had just ridden could simply turn into the scariest moment of my life?” After the roller coaster stopped, and the passengers before us got off the ride, the gates opened, allowing us to get on the roller coaster. I sit on
Roller coasters have always been the go to rides in carnivals. The physics of a roller coaster is quite simple yet complex. The complex part is the acceleration. Acceleration may not seem like such a big deal because people love fast rides. It actually takes many calculations to get the acceleration just right. If the ride is too slow, people loose interest in the ride but if it is too fast, people can die. Crazy right? The reason behind this is because since the acceleration is so fast, gravity
remember i've always had a fear of Roller Coasters. I think it was because i had always felt as if one day it can break down also the height of them feared me.

impression on people and often lacked confidence, until I went to Universal Studios. I had always held a deep fear of thrill rides, because they were unknown to me. The imminent threat of roller coasters stirred a feeling of uneasiness within me. However, a part of me was determined to ride at least one roller coaster. I ventured forth and selected one of the most terrifying rides I could find. With sweating hands and shaking legs, I boarded the ride and within moments it was over. In those fleeting
really blurry. When the ride stopped and we got off I felt like throwing up. "Blah" as I threw up. It was really disgusting and really gross. I felt really proud of myself to go on the Superman roller coaster. It took a lot of my cousins, my families encorging to make me go on the Superman roller coaster. I woke 5:30 and I smelled pancakes and waffles. “They were really delicious”. I saw my mom packing food for the adventure of Six Flags. My dad screamed “hurry up, we are going to be late”. As
“Which ride do you want to try first,” asks our mom. “Could we go on the water rides,” I ask “It’s getting a bit too cold for those now, don’t you think,” answers my mom. “Lets try this one,” says my brother as he points to a roller coaster on the map. “That looks like a great idea,” says my mom. I thought about how it doesn’t seem like a good idea to me, but not a single word leaves my mouth. We start to walk in the direction of the ride. We near three or four rides one of them being the one we

Carried.” O’Brien is not afraid to “break the rules” of a classic novel, he is simply determined to leave an impact on his readers. Although O’Brien chooses to conform to the typical convention of characterization, he mainly strays from the norms of narrative structure, chronological order, and point of view to make his novel, “The Things They Carried,” an authentic war story.

spiritual warrior, the penance seeking assassin, the brave lawman, and the rogue patriot; all leading men on a quest riddled with dangerous obstacles. For each man, however, therein lie many unique challenges. These hurdles are shaped by specific narratives and themes, which work to shape the framework for the classic American action film as well as the Hong Kong action film. These two categories of action adventure are not only divided by a vast sea but by the motivation of each leading man and the
