My Sisters Keeper

Kon’nichi wa, Ruby 1. Opening This Book Pretend that you’ve opened this book (although you probably have opened this book), just to find a huge onion right in the middle crease of the book.

So you’re like, “Wow, this book comes with an onion!” (Even if you don’t particularly like onions, I’m sure you can appreciate the logistics of shipping any sort of produce discreetly inside of an alleged programming manual.)

beside the plant, next to the offices. And it's in my space. Who else would do that except Bill Peach? Never mind that the whole lot is practically empty at that hour.

committed Germany to democracy and freedom and progress, and to come here in the company of my fellow American, General Clay, who has been in this city during its great moments of crisis and will come again if ever needed. Two thousand years ago, the proudest boast was "civis romanus sum." Today, in the world of freedom, the proudest boast is "Ich bin ein Berliner."I appreciate my interpreter translating my German! There are many people in the world who really don't understand, or say they don't,

The end of the nineteenth century brought drastic developments that forced

them. If the Indians had never taught the Pilgrims to farm, they would have all starved to death. They were willing to go out of their way to help others. In today’s society we have a barbed wire fence and millions of dollars a year spent to try and keep people out. Most of the immigrants today come for the same reasons as the Pilgrims namely freedom, peace and a better life.
