How could Jayden convey the depth of his worries upon hearing such terrible news? Like it or not, the new utopian government, which had taken over everything would soon require an act called “mandatory commemoration” of each of its citizens the day after his or her 16th birthday. Forcible commemoration? What was that and why would none of those so commemorated ever return to normal life, nor be heard from again? How dreadful! Twelve or not, Jayden began to ponder and plan his apparent remaining years with an explosive youthful daring. First, Jayden was shivering and crying from fear.

We will be safe and Batman will be able to relax.” Said Jayden. The three friends if you include Batman ran off to the Dog Park.

They opened the suitcase and pulled out a lot of documents. But one spotted Jayden’s eye. It read “Our definition for commemoration is the death of 16 year olds by gun.” “Wow that is a horrible thing! We have to stop it but how?” Exclaimed Jayce. “I know! We could tazer the mayor and video tape it showing the world what commemoration is! Then the people would revolt and boom! No more commemoration and no more utopian government.” Yelled Jayden and they started their

    My first stop on the hunt for government offices and or buildings in Snyder is the Scurry County Courthouse. I had no problem finding this building due to how it's located in the center of town and all the main roads lead to the "square" where the Courthouse is located.

The Courthouse is surrounded by various boutiques and a business that serves ice cream and coffee.…

    In their wartime experience, dying became a central preoccupation; for the soldier it “assumed clear preeminence over killing” in his “emotional and moral universe. ”6 The soldier needed to be both ready and willing to die; turning to culture, codes of masculinity, patriotism, and religion to fortify himself for that possibility of death.7 War challenged rites and practices that were not to be quickly undertaken, and as many soldiers were killed suddenly in the intense action of battle, their comrades made pains to write condolence letters to the deceased’s loved ones. Seeking to make absent loved ones “virtual witnesses to the dying moments they had been denied,” these soldiers attempted to “mend the fissures war had introduced into the fabric of the Good Death” for the families of the slain.8 Condolence letters usually addressed the deceased’s professions of religion; sudden death robbed many soldiers the opportunity to have “life-defining” deathbed experiences, in which they would otherwise reveal the status of their souls in their last earthly utterances.9 To reassure theses families on the home front that their loved ones would indeed live on in spirit, comrades…
