Footstep

the shadows. The boys could clearly see the rotting arm of the human-like creature. Joe then picked up a key and banged it against the lock, the rusty metal must’ve weakened, the lock flew off, and the pair hurried through the door. The sound of footsteps echoed through the room as the pair looked away. The creature banged on the door. There was no lock on the door now, if the being could operate a latch, it would be free to roam the facility now. However, the banging on the door gave the pair…

“You’ll never leave” is carved faintly into the brick wall of the small jail cell, probably from its last guest. Every day, I started to believe the phrase more and more. I lay on the uncomfortable cot, pretending to be asleep. I’m lonely, but I’m not alone. I can hear him breathing and slowly flipping the pages of the newspaper; I assume it’s Mr. Heck Tate. He’s always sulking around his office and rarely goes home. Everything is calm in and outside the jail, as the town of Maycomb has retired…

When I was fifteen I was a mime for three months. I lived in Taiwan, I was alone, I couldn’t speak more than a few sentences of Chinese, so I had to be a mime. A semipermanent game of charades was the only way to communicate with the people around me. Eventually, as the year progressed, I became fluent in Mandarin, so my mime skills were no longer necessary. However, I did realize that when one loses the ability to speak, they gain more of an understanding of the world around them. Living in a…

government was attractive to other colonists as an autonomous alternative to their traditional government. Because the Puritans had the purest form of democracy known in America and ruled by God’s law, other New England colonies followed in their footsteps. Although each New England colony was slightly different, they all liked the idea of not being ruled by a…

Evil Dead is a reboot of the original 1981 movie under the same name. We follow a group of friends supporting a friend of theirs in his attempt to help his drug addict sister detox. To detox the sister the friends journey to a cabin in the middle of the forrest. Things go as far as expected as you possibly can imagine and we sit on the edge of our seats waiting to see how the story unfolds. One thing worth noting is that the movie used no CGI at all everything was practical effects. Between…

One of the great directing techniques in the film was how the colors green and red were used. The film used complementary colors to make objects and characters stand out or just to make a whole certain shot stand out. For example, when Amelie was in the carnival and in the background all the women were dressed with red and all the men were dressed with green. Because of that, Amelie and the people in the background made the shot look more serene and put together. Another example would be when…

Knight." The crewman's brisk footsteps lead him to the sliding door, as to where Grayson's eyes casually followed the man. Grayson looked so distant for a moment as he bit his bottom lip and just continued to ponder over things within his busy mind. Then came the echoing thump downstairs…

players. Players look up to staff members and respect them because they set a good example and are staff. Thus, staff members must uphold this and do their best to be professional and mature so players and other staff members alike can follow in their footsteps. I love being a leader and setting a good example for players and other staff members because I like the feeling of doing good and this is just one of the things I’m naturally good…

centimeters away from being hit by a red, little car. The ladies that were sitting on the side of Colfax began yelling, and we weren’t greeted with any positive messages. The hundreds of people that were once so united and seemed so strong at the footsteps of the capital were now nothing, we were targets and being harassed by almost all bystanders we passed. What was I doing and what did I get myself into? I was at the March…

My teacher called me a liar when I said my great-great-great-great-grandfather was a Spanish pirate. On top of that, I also said I was related to Johnny Appleseed. Of course, I protested that I wasn't lying because my mother said it was true but to no avail. Don't get me wrong; this teacher wasn't cruel. In fact, she was one of my favorite teachers. She just wasn't buying what I was selling that particular day. But the Legend of the Spanish Pirate never left my mind. Twenty-five year later, I…
