People will look at me differently, perhaps I would receive tattoos during my stay without thinking of how this would affect my life later on as I lose hope for the future that I could possibly have. All this is only the tip of the iceberg considering the damage of not only I could inflict on myself but others if I commit a serious crime. The lawsuits, guilt, remorse etc. all for the thrill of living life to what I selfishly wanted and at the same time not thinking that decisions…

open their mouths. From the beginning of their meeting it is obvious that the women were hiding something by their vague responses to their boss’s questions. It added another layer to their already enigmatic lives. Yet, that was only the tip of the iceberg. In the middle of their meeting the boss calls for a tampon collection, where…

Into the Dark Water by Lauren Tarshis has many quotes from a boy named Jack Thayer, who at the time was 17, and sailing on the Titanic. The exact quotes from Jack really made the story more believable and made me feel like I was really there.
