and this burning would, on the instant, reverse itself.” This quote shows how small actions can cause much larger consequences. What the author is doing is trying to caution the reader to be aware of how a small action on their part can affect their future. The story progresses until it reaches the point where Eckels, the protagonist, sees the monstrous Tyrannosaurus that he paid to kill.

leave and enter a world in which he was promised never to be abandoned. The idea of a teenager, feeling abandoned and unhappy, escaping into what appears to be a better place, is not very shocking or original and does not bode well in catching my attention. In my life experience so far, I have come to know the feelings of insecurity and humiliation; however I have not genuinely felt as though I needed to find comfort in the form of technology and deceit. More often than not, I find the ordinary…
UNSPOKEN WORDS: Unspoken words by Paul Callus, is a poem that can be interpreted in many ways depending on who's reading it. In my case, I took the poem as having to do with lost opportunities and things that I never got the chance to say. In the past I've bottled up my feelings, and now all I’m left with is regret on things that I hadn’t done. I have a feeling that the guy in the poem, if he doesn't take a chance to say how he feels, he’ll be in the same boat as me, with a million questions but…
Time travel tunnel, I'm driving through it at the edge of the world, or at least what I perceive to be the edge of the world... I'll cut to the chase.

It's more accepted by the general public. Anyway, so I came out the other side into a pine forest, but the…

Janet McNaughton’s dystopian novel The Secret Under My Skin is an excellent exposure of how teenagers can have a significant impact on the future.…
showed a young boy’s struggle with isolation and loneliness, his frivolous attempts to fill the void, and finally a seemingly resolved state in which he looks forward to the future. I would say that many teenager’s feel this way, and that unless they are intervened and given therapy it can have huge consequences on their future. These feelings are dangerous, and they can’t be rationalized. They are exacerbated by over-thinking, and many people are guilty of this unhealthy habit. At any rate, the…
