Elevator

How would you feel if you woke up in a hot creaky metal elevator in the darkness all by yourself, or you arrive in a strange place full of strange boys and aligned with a maze? That is exactly what happened to Thomas in The Maze Runner. After a long ride in a freaky and dark elevator all by himself to a place called the Glade, Thomas found himself surrounded by people he does not know in a place he has never been to. When he got there he realized that he doesn’t know anything about himself or…

I slouched at the table in the boring, gray counselor's room, headphones squeezing my ears, as I did my first hearing and vision screening. The counselor played a series of beeps, and I gave a thumbs up for every time I heard something. Before I knew it, the test was over, and I walked out without giving any further thought to the screening. I had no reason to, as my mom had explained to me earlier that this was simply a mandatory, routine check-up, nothing to worry about. Soon, I was back in my…

Although I've done a lot of fun things in my life, one that really stood out was when I went to the Buck-O-Rama with three of my friends, and we had so much fun! I was so excited to get to sleep the night before, because when I woke up I could meet my friends at the total and start our way to the Buck-O-Rama. When we got there we checked into our hotel, me, Kyra, Abigail, and Perri got to have a room all by our selves. We put the stuff in our room, and headed back to the car so we could go…

is getting stressed out and nervous before giving a presentation. For example, I was so worried that I wasn’t going to give a good presentation that I had a migraine for two days. I also realized that I am good at giving an elevator speech. When I think about giving an elevator speech, it’s like rushing to give my babysitter instructions as I am walking out the door to get to…

Are women frail and complex creatures? ‘Frailty, the name is women!’. Historically, women are stereotyped by this community as the weaker sex. This is because people believe that God had assigned strength and authority to males, underlining that womankind are weak and frail in character. Besides, the emergence of the feminist who claims to stand for women’s empowerment and gender equality clearly denoted that women are weaker creatures. Notwithstanding, based on the story “Lamb to the Slaughter”…

The title of my book is the Maze Runner. It is written by James Dashner. My book is 374 pages long. The genre of my book is science fiction because it has an unrealistic setting that could not be possible with today's technology. It is also not based off of a true story, so it is fiction. I would give this book five stars. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I even finished it in the first week of me reading it because I liked it so much. I liked the aspect of how the characters are stuck in the…

A black armored Mercedes stopped at the driveway in front of the ambassadors’ main entrance. The security guard sitting next to the chauffeur jumped out and opened the back door as Yusuf Alfalaki got out of the car. The security guard entered the narrow revolving door first and Yusuf walked behind him. An old black woman raised her head while sitting at a small desk facing the main entrance as she was reading The Sun newspaper and looked at the two men in total silence. The security guard said,…

desperately tried to pull her out, before she was sucked in to the abyss by the escalator machinery. Despite a four hour rescue operation, Xiang was declared dead when firefighters cut open the escalator and found her body inside, killed by the grinding elevator gears. It was later found that the footplate that collapsed was held together only by screws, a shortcut taken to save money…

mental health. The use of movements that occurred in this film portrayed what was going on in the character’s mind without much talking from them. The movements showed the tolls that guilt had on them. For example, when Lady Macbeth went down the elevator and into the room where a psychiatrist was, she started to move with precaution. Then she seemed to be stumbling around. Her voice demonstrating sadness and anger. This shows how she still keeps thinking of the deed she did and is afraid that…
