Gone with the Wind

The young woman's arm lay out of her car's window, the wind helped by the speed she was driving at, carried her arm back, the rush of the fresh air made the hairs on her arm stand up. But this was a feeling she was loving. The feeling of freedom on an empty and open road. Her eyes were fixed on the empty stretch of road in front of her, fully knowing that anything could happen ahead without warning, despite empty road conditions. This road led to her old home but at this moment, none of that…

Mill Long, long time, ago there was a little girl named Lucy. Lucy was a short little girl with brown curly hair. She had to do her morning chores before they went to church. While she was doing that her purple polka dotted dress caught a gust of wind and blew up and got stuck on the nail that was sticking out of the wall. She was just dangling there because she couldn’t do anything to save herself. Well what would you do if you got caught on a nail? There was only one thing she could do, start…

Exploration to Destruction Since man has been put on the Earth there has always been a curiosity for the unknown, especially for what lies beyond the Earth. We have gone from only being able to see the moon and stars with our naked eyes to studying Pluto and landing on the Moon. There are many different ways that we discover planets and many different components that we study. Some examples of what we use to find planets are the Doppler Effect, Astrometry, Transit Photometry, and Direct Imaging…

Everything was silent. The only noise you could hear was the wind whistling and the sound of raindrops crashing down on the window. The night sky was black as ink, there was not a single star to be seen and there he was standing in the dark all alone watching the atmosphere change ferociously. The howling of the wind grew louder every minute. The raindrops grew larger. It was wet, dark, humid and scary. Mo saw the destruction of the Earth occur right beneath his eyes. Then all of a suddenthe…

the ghetto. The major conflicts are between the soldiers and the partisan but can also be between the narrator and his understanding of the partisans. The day began as usual, we made sure no guards were near and all our supplies were filled. The wind whistled as the sun broke through the sky and the cold soon scattered away. I searched for Ben all over the small little area of the forest were the guards weren’t currently roaming. I tried to look for a young strong man with long blonde hair and…

It was a hot blazing afternoon without a single mist of wind in sight. Droplets of sweat started to run down my face heading towards my mouth. I could taste the saltiness and dedication of hard work for my beloved sport which was baseball. Baseball is not just any sport to me, it is my source of happiness. I play it for the love and joy that overwhelms me whenever I walk onto the baseball field. The crowd cheering you and your team on making you feel the rush through your body wanting to play…

in. I needed this hit. If I strike out, I will cost my team the game. I put thought to the back of head and focused on this moment. I got in my ready stance raising my bat and waiting anxiously for the pitcher to throw the ball. As she started her wind up, I loaded up using my legs and arms to be prepared for what was to come. Once she real eased the ball, a flood of confidence rushed through me like a water rapid. The pitch was perfect. Right down the middle; every batter's dream pitch. As…

“In war films of the buddy type the deadliness of war is not glossed over. But it is portrayed not in the death of the enemy who are often faceless or even unseen, but in the death of the comrades and buddies” (Tribunella). Mark Simpson says that often times in war films, seeing one’s comrade in the state of death is hard for a person live through, and therefore loses his boyish innocence. In the same way Gene is overcome by sadness when he gazes upon the dead body that once housed the life of…
