"Sixteen" is a story of unrequited young love and the flirtation that led the female character to think it was love. The story takes place at a skating rink in Wisconsin, a Thursday night of 1938. The unnamed characters of the story are a teenage girl and boy who meet while skating and finding instantly attracted to each other begin to flirt, laugh, and get personal. She allows him to put his hand around her waist (he actually does this without even asking for permission) and after skating is over he walks her home. He takes her phone number and promises to call, but never does. When she accepts he will never call she begins to reason on the futility of their encounter and moves on.

If I could fly I would....
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

Wings are really the amazing part for the birds. I feel that birds are very lucky to have wings. Because thay fly high whereever they want.

we have also heard of the angels in fairy tales. The angels are also depicted with beautiful wings. Angels are also luckiest to have wings.

If i have wings i feel i'm the most luckiest on this earth. I will fly from place to place and explore things. I will fly upon the water levels and enjoy. Fly across mountains, waterfalls and i will sleep across the nature's lap in the top of hills.

Sky is the limit for me if i have wings. I will aim to reach for the sky and fly higher and higher competiting with all birds.

i can transport from one place to another with free of cost :-) No petrol and no diesel... In this way i will do a small favour to the nature by not polluting it.

Explanation:

really hope this helps you and you get a good score
