Hazmat suit

1984 by George Orwell is a play that follows the life of Winston Smith, a low ranking member of the party in London. Orwell has designed the story as dystopia and uses dark themes to emphasis power and the dangers of a totalitarian government. Orwell drew inspiration from governments in Spain and Russia to create 1984 and transported the totalitarian regime to futuristic London under the control of Big Brother and his Inner Party. The motifs of darkness and restriction created an atmosphere of…

“Jess wake up.” I didn’t feel like waking up or doing anything at all. So I lay there, unmoving, for the longest time. Then I could see. I opened my eyes and looked around. I was lying on a bed in the middle of a mint green room. Two men dressed in hazmat suits surrounded me. “What happened?” I asked, rubbing my eyes. “You mean, you don’t remember?” one of the men asked, obviously nervous. “I don’t think so,” I responded. “Where am I?” “In Capita,” replied the man. He took something from a…

What goes on in your daily news feed? The media shares stories from all across the world from financial problems to gun shootings. It can cause many problems but can also be helpful. It may be frustrating at times, but it also brings people together in times of pain and need. Unfortunately, the media causes their audience to stereotype certain groups of people, which makes some new stories to cause things to get out of hand. The news media shapes our society by reporting on gun control, racism,…

ONCE FIREFIGHTERS had jimmied the door that July afternoon, the police squeezed into a beaten apartment groaning with possessions, a grotesque parody of the “lived-in” condition. Clearly, its occupant had been a hoarder. The officers from the 115th Precinct called the medical examiner’s office, which involves itself in suspicious deaths and unidentified bodies, and a medical legal investigator arrived. His task was to rule out foul play and look for evidence that could help locate the next of…

There was something different with the Ghost Zone. He didn't know if it was just him, or if was affecting the entire dimension, but whatever it was, Danny didn't like it. Every just felt... vacant, well, more so than usual. Even though his ghost form appeared crippled and mimicked his human appearance rather than his normal ghostly persona, he was still able to retain all his powers perfectly. So with no, preamble, Danny soared through the Ghost Zone, trying to remember the way to Clockwork's…

New Protocol She slid her dress over her head, wiggling as she pulled it down straightening, then and sat back on the bed, slipping on her new black, slingback pumps. In the bathroom she leaned close to the mirror, meticulously putting on her makeup before stepping back from the mirror, admiring her new dress. As a final touch, she applied rose red lipstick that went perfectly with her new spring dress. Not bothering to close the hotel door, she walked out, leaving a few clothing tags and…

What is chemical warfare and why should we care about it? Chemical warfare is the use of toxins as a devastating weapon. So devastating that it falls under the WMD’s or weapon(s) of mass destruction. Although chemical weapons aren 't as prolific as during the WW1, they still pose a real threat. The most recent case and point is in Syria when they used chemical weapons on their own civilians after they were told by the OPCW to destroy them (http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-34212324).

Margaret Thatcher once said, “Crime is crime is crime it’s not political it’s crime.” In 1981, the IRA prisoners started the second hunger strike in the Maze prison because the prisoners wanted to be recognized as prisoners of war. In Northern Ireland, the British government planned to isolate, criminalize, and demoralize the IRA. Some Mother’s Son appeals to the personal side of the argument by showing how one person can affect their whole family and then some. Hunger depicts the personal side…

My hands are empty. I look for something. Anything. I'm trapped like a feral creature. All I see around me is darkness, swallowing me up like I’m in a small room. They are slowly coming for me. The blood-thirsty, cold body, dead ones with milky eyes and cuts everywhere with blood oozing out. I have nowhere to go. I wake up with a loud yawn and struggled to get out of my small bed, my face was wrapped in smiles, I knew that, that day was going to be one of my best. For the first time I slept…
