to see if there has anything in there and after that I went up to a security officer at a desk with a purple light. As I gave her my ticket, she wrote on it and scanned it making sure it was real. Then, the lady said I was good and let me go to my gate. There was still some time before I…

Clouds of something that appeared to be smoke reached the line of soldiers waiting to fight. Immediately, the soldiers began to cough, gag and choke. Their eyes started stinging and watering, and they fell backwards into the trenches. The soldiers tried to duck and avoid the smoke in their dugouts, but it soon followed. Those who did not fall ran trying to abandon the clouds of smoke, but this was no regular smoke (Kennedy 53). It was chlorine gas that German forces used to initiate large-scale…

was blinding, penetrating the small holes in the roof of her low shelter. Stepping out with her still-bloody robes, Rey shielded her eyes from the blinding sun. Looking over the edge of the high dune that her camp is situated on, she remarks, “No clouds in sight, it’s gonna get hot today!” With her goggles toning down the bright sun, Rey hobbles down the dune and heads west towards Traders Den. Following the indent from an ancient crash, the scavenger tries her best to keep out of the sun.…

welcoming, hospitable country who welcome immigrants of any kind with a raised beacon. Thomas Aldrich’s Unguarded Gates evokes a love of how America is, and a deep concern for how immigrants might negatively affect.

All eyes were fastened on me as I quickly mounted again. I snatched my radio off my belt and cheerily called to my…

walk around my neighborhood and its nearby surroundings. I live in Kissimmee and extremely close to Saint Cloud so I decided to start off by looking around the Lakefront Park area. At first I did not think that I would be able to find many things that I would be able to relate to art, but I think that is because I had never actually tried to pay attention to small details.
