Best Spring Break Vacation Spots
Spring Break, a time for relaxing and getting away from the stress of school. It's also a time to just have some fun! Traveling is a perfect way to get esacpe from it all but still have a blast in the process. A excellent destination to voyage to is London. From hopping on for a ride atop the London eye to view the never ending streets of cobble-stone, or visting the local fish and chip shop for some authentic cusine. If a hip night life is what you are after, it's as simple as stepping on the "tube" and heading to a fancy night club or bar. Another credible location i recconmend is Italy, the most senic place you can go. The weather is similar to her in Canada so you'll know exactly what to pack. This country is know for it's fashion, Gucci, Prada, and D&G to name a few. Fashionista's beware, this is your were your money will be spent fast! Last, but certainly not least is Paris. The history is so overwellming, everything it seems has a story. It's also were the famous Mona Lisa is kept, in the lourve. Traveling on spring break should become a law when there are so many fanciating places to visit.

The Perils of Indifference
1) "The Harm of not Caring" would be another suitible title for "The Perils of Indifference"
2) Relating "The Lottery" to other situation similar is the Rwanda Genocide. This horrible event connects to the story because while death and war were taking place, many people, including countries stood and watched. The Rwandan Genocide civil was between two tribes, the Tutis and the Hutos. One tribe being more " European" looking then the other, fought and slaughtered the other tribe. While all of these atrocities took place, other countries just stood and watched. Other then Canada, the USA and other superpower countries choose not to intervene, when knowing fully what was happening.
3. Elie Wiesel's speech relates directly to "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson. In the story "The Lottery" one character, Tessie, gets stoned for no real reason. Although getting stoned doesn't happen much in our community, in other society this is a form of punishment used often. In the speech Elie tells of the Holocaust and people doing horrible crimes to people for no real reasons. The killing of Tessie was in fact a public assassination and relates to the death of J.F Kennedy. Moreover the crowd watching Tessie being stoned showed indifference for the poor lady as Eli describes in his speech.

blog?
A good topic to blog about would be fears, what scares you or people. Everyone is afraid of something. No one can say without lying that they are afraid of nothing. From being frightened of spiders to fearing death. Perhaps blogging about what would be a scary situation or a experience that may have been terrifing. It would also be fitting for Halloween coming up!

Top 3 Ice Ceam Flavours
Since working in an ice-cream store for 3 years i have experienced all of the flavors of Nestle, Dairy Land and Island Farms has to offer. Through my taste testing trails i have made a list. This list consists of the best ice cream flavors of all time. To pass the test the ice creams had to excel in the categories of: popularity and demand, over taste, and appearance.
The first flavor on the list is Peanut Butter Binge. This consists of a chocolate base with a swirl of thick peanut butter. This is the most popular flavor and everyone from children to seniors enjoys the rich taste of chocolate with the incorporation of peanut butter. When an in store vote took place in the ice cream parlor, Peanut butter binge won by a landslide. The one word to describe the taste is delicious. The combo of rich chocolate and peanut butter swirl is a beautiful appearance and more of a work of modern art then anything else.
Flavor two on the ice cream scale is Cranberry-Raspberry yogurt sherbet combo. If you’re going for the fat-free route for ice cream is a good flavor to get. Cran-Raspberry has also a high demand, and when the store runs out of the flavor we receive some very angry customers. The taste is quite spectacular again with the combo of two flavors that compliment each other. The tart flavor of cranberry and the subtle taste of raspberry really prove opposites attract. The bright pink color is defiantly a treat for the eye as well.
Last but not least is Raspberry Cheesecake. This honestly tastes as though you are eating a cheese cake. I again always get positive feedback on the spectacular taste of this ice cream. I would recommend this flavor to any cheese cake specialist. The raspberry swirl is very rich and made of real raspberries. This flavor is defiantly one of a kind.
Ice cream is always a treat, and now knowing the correct ones to choose, it will be a cinch to pick the best ones.

Now you see me. Now you don't.
If I had the choice of any superpower in the world, I would pick,without a doubt, invisibility. This superpower trumps all other superpowers because you could get away with anything. From escaping an enemy to getting into a free movie, the benefits are endless with invisibility. Another positive thing one could do with the power of invisibility is traveling. The only thing you'd have to do is show up at the airport and walk on a plane to the destination you choose. Once your at your desiresed location, just take off your power and let the fun begin! Invisibility is not only fun and games, it can save your life too. Ever been in a situation were someone is following you or your just in a uncomfortable position, using your superpower would help you get away. The invisibility superpower has unlimited possibilities; none of which would be negitive.
