"Adina, you are only asking me to come with you out of sympathy", but in that moment I realized my true motivations, and she was wrong. It was my freshman year and I had all the worries and uncertainties of most new students in a new school: doing well in my classes, making friends, finding my place in my grade and in my school. There happen to be many restaurants right down the street, and after spring break freshmen are allowed to leave the building to get lunch. Everyone, including myself,…

Querlinks Through the eyes of shella These are the journal entries of a 10 year old girl named shella. These entries portray the feelings of this young girl and act as the sole account of what happened to this town. Children play in the streets and dogs bark in the distance as parents leave for work. All is calm and well even though world war three has been going on for five years and the U.S.A is in it. But all is not as it appears. There has been strange happenings. Disappearances. They say…

Demons by Imagine Dragons (Catcher Scene) Verse/ Hook/ Chorus Analysis When the days are cold And the cards all fold And the saints we see Are all made of gold When your dreams all fail And the ones we hail Are the worst of all And the blood's run stale Holden, as this first verse suggests, was dealt a bad hand. He has undergone traumatic events that no child or person should have to endure; he has been molested, has watched someone commit suicide, is addicted to drugs, and watched his little…

“We’re going to have to go through the back, because if a nigga sees you, they’re going to attack you.” I was quiet, my hands were beginning to sweat, and I think I was in need of the bathroom to shit. Once we got to the strip club, my eyes went wild seeing the lights flicker crazy through the floor. Weed and alcohol slaps my nose as they enter my nose making me cringe. Sky seen this. “Don’t worry you’ll get use to the smell after a while.” She grabs my hand interlocking with mine and pulls me…

8:05 A.M., Chris is sprinting his down the hall to English, only to find everyone sitting down, staring at the entrance of the room, and the teacher marking everyone but him present. This would not have happened if Chris’s locker had not jammed when he attempted to open it to put his bag inside. East Jordan Middle High School has an issue with the amount of tardies and absences of students. The way to fix EJMHS’s issue is to rewind it’s ban on bags in classrooms, which would also help with other…

Despite being exhausted from the day’s events, I didn’t sleep much at Char’s. Not only did I not have my sleeping pills, but my mind was whirling with possibilities of what Aiden and Mason meant by “tomorrow.” Which is today. Meaning something is happening today. And I still don’t know what it is. But I do know that I’d rather have nothing happen. Of course deep down, I really wish I could tear Kaitlyn and Ryan a new one for messing with me, but I can’t. I had all night at Char’s to think…

This was able to bring out a different side of Lee that the audience hadn’t seen before.

Working hard is the definition of paystation. It is not an easy job, and that’s why I love it. I especially love the challenge of running the register and cleaning the dining room, but making sure everyone who comes in is helped quickly and has to wait as little as possible. I never thought working at Hy-Vee would make a difference in my life, though. Throughout my time working at Hy-Vee, I have learned a lot about working hard and being efficient, and applying that to my life outside of Hy-Vee…

“No”, that was my response as soon as he asked me. Did he know what he was getting into? He wants to join one of the most dangerous gangs in our neighborhood and he wants me to join too? And for what? For some power, that isn’t even power? He is my best friend, but I don’t think I can follow him on this. “Come on Blake, stop being such a wuss, it isn’t that big of a deal we aren’t going to kill anybody or that sorta thing we just gonna have a reputation if we join and no one gonna mess with…

The Goldfish- Prosopopeia I see my entire world in my line of vision. I cannot move beyond my borders of glass. A gigantic shadow approaches my bowl. The end most be coming soon for me. My world goes completely dark and I am removed from existence for a matter of moments. Food pellets rain down from the sky and I realize this shadow has just fed me.
