Gladiators 2000

No matter what, every single day somebody is being judged and labeled. Whether or not a person is overweight, underweight, mentally challenged, we are all being judged. Furthermore, growing up in a conservative, white, Christian family, has taught me many things about how I am expected to act, as well as which actions are acceptable or unacceptable. My culture and religious views molded me into believing that it was acceptable to judge others and be intolerant of different groups of people. In…

She didn 't even look... upset. She walked into court as if it was the easiest thing for her. Boss? So what do you think? Should we make our move? I don 't care what you do. Do anything you want. Go. I want to be alone. I don 't want to speak out of turn, but seeing you like this... It 's like that time when you couldn 't walk. You were ready to give up. I can 't let you go back there. Tell me what to do. Cosmo, do you want to help? Find the bastard who ripped my family apart, so I…

In my effort of finding an advertisement for my critique, I have discovered that the advertisement of the past have been more controversially filled then those of present time. The ad that I chose was one of eye rising, controversy, and outrageously extreme. The advisement of a product such as chocolate would have one thinking of pleasure, delight, pampering one’s self or a significant other, or merely a sweet memory of one’s childhood receiving an intriguing treat such as eating chocolate for…

CHAPTER SIX The Enchanted Amulet Morning brought heavy clouds of chocolate-colored dust and whipping winds, gloomy weather that made it hard to remain hopeful. “Off on another adventure, eh?” Cotton coughed, as he vaulted over a dust devil. “This is exciting. Just you and me on a quest to track down the golden key.” “I just hope we can find it soon. This stuff is awful,” I choked. “I even have grit between my teeth.” “What’d you say?” he shouted. “You’re a pit beneath my wreath. What does that…

Hyundai 's first offerings in the United States were a failure, due to their reliability problems. The Excel and Scoupe sedans often fell apart with low mileage, and had numerous mechanical issues involving transmissions, electrical components, and the engine itself. After not being able to land a substantial chunk of the American marketplace, this South Korean automaker decided to double its efforts, in releasing new vehicles that would offer years of service at a reasonable price.

Illegitimi Non Carborundum I love myself. I love myself. I love myself. I love myself. I’ve been trapped in this jail cell for 472 days. I haven’t seen a single soul for longer than I can remember. I can’t help but sit by this window waiting to catch a glimpse of a bird taking flight. The white bird that I used to see so often. Have you left me here to fend for myself, bird? Have you found paradise beyond these discolored clouds? I close my journal and wrap my arms around my long legs. It…

Freshman year was almost the death of me; physically and mentally. That year was not all fun and games, and from this I had severe depression from the constant stress. The AP and Honors homework had taken a toll on me. Late sleepless nights, and with my parents on my back I was too stressed for a fourteen year old. Enough was enough I went to my parents and confronted them on the issue. Throughout my ninth grade year my parents were overbearing on me to do my school work, and during one of my…

“Mom said she would take care of selling the house on her own. I think I’m only going to stay a few more days. I understand if you need to go back sooner.” Bennett was snuggled into Cole’s side on the couch. Jase had fallen asleep in Bennett’s old bedroom looking at her childhood pictures. After playing with most of her old toys, he didn’t seem to want to leave her room or her side. “I think we’ll stay. You will need help moving everything and I have a truck to haul the furniture to Goodwill.…
