Ferris Wheel


As the day goes by many people visit me.
There are many young and many old.
Some are newcomers and some are the regulars.
Many adore me and many are scared.
Most of them, left me, but some of them stay.
But that did no good.
Because now they have closed me down.
My wheel has been rusted and my gears have been busted.
My popularity is gone as the new ones come in.
Some are fast and some are slow.
Some are even a nasty freak show.
But this is the worst.
The one that took me away.
The rollercoaster put me into a lot of pain.

Friends

In a person's life, they find a friend; a friend to rely on. In my experiences, my friends and I  would  find hiding spots, play games, and most importantly, getting through life knowing some one's "got  your back."

Tom's romantic life reflects on many people, and most of those people needed some time to get  away from ordinary life, but for Tom, his life was what we consider a romanticism. He went  through everyday life having a friend to support him and make his decisions in life. One of those  friends was Huck Finn. Huck went on many adventures with him. They went pirating, treasure  hunting, observed a murder, and just had fun. Tom and Huck had some great times and some  difficult times, but in the end they come out to be great friends.

Mark Twain had a certain theme in his book. Not only was it escapism, but it was the friendship  between three young boys. Tom's life is just like yours or mine. We all need someone, whether it's  a parent, friends, relatives, or even a little furry dog. Even though we are from different times, we  all rely on each other.
