A Little Faster

a specific liking to me. I had no family, no processions and no way out. I could only guess that I was around eight at time I was sold to the Eden plantation. Words could not describe how cruel Mr. Ernest was. He and his petty little wife were the rulers of their own little kingdom and we were the prisoners trapped in a life we couldn’t escape. I had no desire to see the rich color of my skin or the uneven slope of my features but I was reminded quite frequently that my place in the world was…

with a few drops of dew after a rainy day, with rolling hills that go on farther than the eye can see and an infinite clear baby blue sky above it all, there was a little red barn. It was old and rustic, completely different from the other cheery and bright cottages in the tiny town of Wicksdale. It’s paint peeled off the walls a little bit more every day. It creaked and groaned with the gusting winds that accompanied the hill it sat on. Nobody ever approached the Johnson barn. Everyone in town…

The Manhattan Project was the U.S. government’s research project that produced the first Atomic bomb. (Encyclopædia Britannica Inc.) This project lasted from 1942 through 1945. (Encyclopædia Britannica Inc.) It was prompted by the discovery that German radiochemists Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann discover the process of fission in uranium in December of 1938. (Energy.gov) (Atomic Archive) Albert Einstein decided it was necessary to write President Franklin D. Roosevelt warning him that Germany…

people say that it was a meteorite or an asteroid, why wasn’t there a crater where it hit? There is so much to still be investigated on the Tunguska Explosion, but I think a powerful bomb made the explosion. I think maybe someone wanted to start a little war, but it never happened. “It is like a one-hundred year old murder mystery” (Kelley). Even though it was over a century people are still conducting research to figure out what really caused the explosion. There have been some big ideas about…

Shyanne Padgett As Amber intered room she felt a coldness enter into her slender body causing shivers to run up her spine like the feeling of thousands of baby spiders running across your flesh. The room was dark and creepily colder than all the other rooms in the house. Immediately, a thought entered into her mind, “His name is Skotádi.” She looked around the chilling dark room and could feel the evilness seeping into her. She then saw what seemed to be a dark figure in the coroner. He…

The book begins in a slow pace. It is first introduced by John, the boy who is the main character. He describes how he feels about school, and gives a little bit of background information about himself. He is not the smart one comparison of him and Lorraine, the girl who is the second main character. Lorraine makes really good grades, and John just does not care. They both hang out together, and do normal childish things for example, prank calls, with their friends Dennis, and Norton who acted…

to become a general manager himself. Although his time at the hotel would not be long the changes he implemented were carried on for many years after he left. Japes and Capes worked well together as they shared similar values basically giving Japes little direction and letting him do his thing. Capes, more than anything, would turn out to be a model family man. This is beyond rare for the nomad world of most servers, and drew the two together with a similar perspective on time. Although he…

were able to create their the world's first controlled chain reaction. This gave the U.S the ambition to allocate resources to the Manhattan project. Albert Einstein himself was not informed in details about the project. Which meant he could do little to intervene in the matters. The project created thousands of jobs and cost the U.S billions to fund. Initial Einstein did not believe the atomic bomb could be achieved he described the possibility of it happening was like having a “boy in a dark…

“The air-raid siren went off -- a minute long blast that warned of approaching planes, but indicated to the people of Hiroshima only a slight degree of danger,” Hiroshima was a city of anxiety as more and more cities in Japan had got destroyed. These air-raid sirens come on at the same time everyday and the people of Hiroshima had no idea what was coming for them. The atomic bomb was used on innocent people who, didn’t know what kind of bomb was coming, they didn’t know when or where the bomb…

I still get emotional thinking about it. I mean being a tiny child in a football stadium not know where your parents are is a little frightening. How could my parents have felt if someone else stopped me and took me. I mean hopefully I wasn’t that stupid to get drawn in by the cheesy “I have a puppy in my van, do you want to pet him?” attraction, yet still I could have gotten kidnapped…
