Field Island

mirror, I saw Roberto. A blank expression. I was hoping to seek comfort from, but instead all little hope I had left just evaporated. Trying to keep my eyes from leaking, not letting the immigration officer see me cry I face toward the window. Fields and fields full of illegal people doing hard labor. I will never see Papa, Mama, Torito, Trampita, Ruben and Rorra again. Hours have passed or that's at least what it felt like. Already we have passed dozens of rest signs, but the immigration…

It was a slightly breezy day and her hair blew back in the wind as she walked. She was on her way to get groceries from the market to make dinner for her husband and son. As she walked along she was humming a happy tune, although she was nervous about the Indians she may encounter along the way.

Her hands began to tremble as she thought about the encounter she may have, which could surely lead to rape or abuse if…

The Paintball Life "Go! Go! Rush through it! He's the only one left! Go! Go! Goooo!" Purple smoke is only thing between me and the enemy player. Heart is racing, shoots are still being fired from both sides of the field. Deep breath, gun up and go. If you've played paintball before, you know exactly what I'm talking about. A full bore rush of adrenaline, a learning experience, an adventure to the unknown and of course there's nothing better than wearing war paint while talking with the team…

Which brings up the next point where many people find fields they fall into, some stick to those fields simply because it’s a means to pay the bills, which can lead a person not to be happy for flourish in that field. I am more of a person that likes to change fields, I am someone that is all over the place, and I worked in a machine shop running a CNC laser machine that would cut products out for various companies…

In the story, “The Man Who Was Almost a Man” the gun and the mule are two apparent symbols that contribute to the meaning of the story. They both relate through the character Dave, a teenager who desires power, respect, and independence. The gun represents Dave’s idea of manhood, specifically Dave’s desire to be a man. The mule, most importantly, the death of the mule, symbolizes Dave, his growth into a man, and the passing of childish ways. Impulsively, Dave buys a gun thinking that it will…

the island of Tristan da Cunha, so the only way to get there is by boat, across some of the roughest waters on the planet. Boats from South Africa only travel to the island eight or nine times per year. The nearest airport is a seven day trip by boat to Ascension Island, so if you are visiting Tristan da Cunha, be prepared to stay there for awhile. The closest civilization to Tristan da Cunha is located 1,243 miles away, on the island of Saint Helena, which is also an extremely remote island.…

sisters. Once she had aged and became a young woman, it was no different. As hard as her parents tried, they could not contain Ponithea. When she was sixteen, her parents had finally had enough. Her father, the ruling monarch, banished her to the island of Erimos. She was given a fortnight to pack her things, say goodbye to her family, and leave. “I shall never forget you, my child.” “Neither will I, mother.” “Here, take this, hopefully this will help you until I can save you.” Ponithea’s mother…
