Claire was an eighteen year old freshman at UCLA. Her scholarship that she had applied for and been awarded was denied a week before she was supposed to take her first classes. What would she do now?
Claire's father died from cancer about a year ago and he had let his life insurance policy lapse due to the family's financial struggles. Her mother had to work two jobs to support the family.
Claire had worked as a waitress at a local Italian restaurant and made decent money in tips; however, it was not near enough to pay her tuition, books, room and board, and food at UCLA.
Now she receives a letter stating that Bold Scholarship had made a computer glitch and she should not have been chosen for this scholarship. What options does she have?
Claire had a best friend who was a mathematical and computer genius. He had written an algorithm to hack into the ATM and transfer money from one person's account into another without leaving any digital traces. He knew Claire's situation and was willing to do anything to help her. He went to his computer and boom! A transfer of $1,000,000 went into Claire's account.

The Memory Weaver
In the sleepy town of Ravenswood, nestled in the heart of the Whispering Woods, a young woman named Lyra Flynn possessed a gift both wondrous and cursed. She could weave memories into fabric, conjuring vivid tapestries that echoed the deepest desires and darkest fears of those who wore them. Her creations were said to hold the power to awaken forgotten moments, to soothe the troubled mind, and to unravel the tangled threads of the past.

Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller
Perhaps one of the best known modern plays in all of 20th century theatre, ‘Death of a Salesman’ is a 1949 play written by Arthur Miller. Set in Brooklyn, it takes place over two acts and portrays the tragedy of the Loman household - specifically that of protagonist Willy Loman. It deals with the crushing of the American Dream and forces the audience to confront the harsh truth about what America has become. It ended up winning the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award for Best Play and as it is revived many times we in literature and drama hope it can continue its influence for years to come.
