Jim Henson’s career began early, when he was only sixteen years of age. Henson began to put his mind to the limit in 1952, when he auditioned for a spot on the local television. He got a spot and began using some home-made puppets—his most famous of the time being Longhorn, Shorthorn, and Pierre The French Rat. Even though he used puppets it wasn't until much later that he began to use his voice on television. In this first appearance of Henson’s puppets, it was just the puppets “mouthing” the words to popular songs at the time, wether it be La Vie En Rose by Edith Piaf or Tenderly by Rosemary Clooney.

It is important to choose the right friends, good friends can take you wherever you want to go in life, and the wrong friends can be a disastrous decision. A quote from The Pact sums this up nicely, “Friendship can lift you up, strengthen and empower you, or break you down, weaken and defeat you.” (32) This is why it is so important to surround yourself with positive people, and

What is broken, works three jobs, and gets in fights? If you answered Ponyboy's household, you are corrected. I believe that Pony boy should go to foster care for many reasons but here my main reasons why. Dally and Sodapop are atrocious caregivers. Ponyboy would minor chance to get in a fight or get hurt. Ponyboy would go to an outshining family.

friends are like shadows. They appear at bright moments and are nowhere to be found

Jim Henson once said, “Follow your enthusiasm. It’s something I’ve always believed in. Find those parts of your life you enjoy the most. Do what you enjoy doing” (qtd. in Fionaurora). Jim did just that. He loved puppetry and made many others love it too. The creator and a performer of the Muppets, Henson is known worldwide for his creations, which include shows like Sesame Street and The Muppet Show, and characters such as Grover, Elmo, Big Bird, the Swedish Chef, Bert and Ernie, and Miss Piggy to name a few. Jim’s most famous character was Kermit the Frog. Kermit remains the Muppet with which Henson is most closely associated. Through television and feature films, Henson developed the art of puppetry to new heights

Like many people I went through high school with the same group of friends from middle school. We were all extremely close and acted like family. Upon graduating, we all realized that we wouldn’t see each other as much, especially the people that went to LSU, ULL and Emory and even LA Tech. We had lost those close-knits relationships we formed for over 7 years. Many people would be upset over this but it showed me who my real friends were and they are my new-found sisters in the sorority I joined and my best friend from sixth grade.

I'll never forget the first time I survived going to Six Flags. The wind blowing every time you pass a roller coaster coming your way, the screams of the children, the fear and anxiety before going into the cart, and the delicious smell of all the food! When I was little I HATED roller coasters I hated the feeling in my stomach I get when I go down, but as you know you grow out of fears sometimes and start liking new things as you get older. For me one of them was starting to like roller coasters.

Today, we can see the use of literary devices everywhere, from books, to even magazines. Literary devices help the reader, imagine and think critically while they’re reading the book. An important literary device is imagery, which helps the reader picture what's going on in the passage that they read. Many writers rely on imagery, which helps the reader imagine what’s happening in the reading. There are many examples of this literary device being used throughout history.

Although popping was created in the 1970s it is still used today. As mentioned, it was initially influenced by locking. However, through the years many techniques and styles were combined with popping to enable the performer to give a more varied show. Some of these techniques and styles include boogaloo/electric boogaloo (a fluid leg-orientated style including rolls of the hips, knees and head), slow motion (moving very slowly as if the dancer is being viewed in slow motion), puppeting (a style where the dancer imitates a puppet tied to strings), robot/botting (a style that imitates a robot that’s dancing) and waving (a series of fluid movements that appears as if waves are travelling through the dancer’s body).

In response to the insanity of the modern American university, Congress is in talks of instituting special protections for free speech on college campuses. Representative Phil Roe M.D. (R., Tenn.) of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce recently introduced a resolution to combat this insanity. His aim is to affirm Congress’ dedication to the upholding of free speech and free expression on American campuses.

Over four years, I have made, as well as, lost friends. We all need to grow and mature and sometimes others just do not want to follow that path with you and you end up growing apart.

I had changed friends but I believe it was too late then, I wanted to take everything back from those school ages. At the time, all the way up until graduation I had the same friends. 7 years later I have not one friend from school anymore. It seems that everyone went their separate ways, and I felt at this time a lot of the things I did were stupid and un thought of.

When you were still in the kindergarten, friends were the people who romped about with you, played mischievous tricks upon everyone. When you were getting bigger, perhaps at primary school, friends were the people who helped you in your homework, who sung with you at the school choir. Had you forgotten them? Had you betrayed them? Are you a good friend to your friends? A true friend would always tell you the truth, be you best partner when you need him, most of all, support you.

You can have many friend throughout your life, but true friends do not come that oftentimes. But once you find them, they will always be there for
