We started writing contracts in my house so if you sign it you have to honor your word, but if it was just a verbal agreement then it wasn’t nothing the “mediator” (which is usually my dad) could do. That’s why if you have an agreement with somebody, it’s best to have it in writing. The 7 unwritten rules of life that I chose to use was: Speak when entering…

Forest Grove,Or. Where I did not meet my goals and decided to give up. It all started in August when everyone started telling me I was getting fat or that I was fat.

Whitman utilizes words such “I”, “myself” and his inner soul to generate a feel of being and depiction in specific sects of the poem. Whilst it…

“Sir Percival, Sir Percival, I’m here, I’m here! I have my own sword and everything!” On a stifling summer morning in Camelot, Sir Percival turned and saw a little boy, about age five or six, bounding toward him. The young boy’s shaggy brown hair bounced as he raced forward, and his cheeks were flushed bright pink due to exertion.

Just FYI locking me in a room to keep me from doing something is not a good way to gain my trust you mother fucking ass-wipe!" I yell at the closed door than lean my forehead against it exasperated. "I hate you" I say to myself. Shortly after the words leave my lips the door is yanked open and I start falling face first toward the hard floor. I stick out my arms and brace for the impact that never comes. I open my eyes that I had tightly squeezed shut and see Kaden 's worried expression. "Are…
