movies but also wanting to work to be successful. As described in the story, “He kissed her then and, for an instant, holding her close, smelling the perfume she had used, he was tempted to go with her; it was not actually true that he had to work tonight, though he very much wanted to” (112). He chooses work but encounters an external conflict when his paper, which has all he needs for work, flies out the window. Tom observes: Turning, he saw a sheet of white paper drifting to the floor in…

Dear diary: The Hunger Games are coming really soon and I'm afraid that Katniss,will get chosen as a female tribute this year. As I'm writing this she's out with Gale hunting for today's meals, I hope they are able to catch a good supper for tonight. I might get milk from Lady and make some cheese and afterwards when Gale and Katniss comes back, I will give them the milk and cheese to trade at the Hob. I don't like the fact that the Capitol put each district into poverty. Why can't they use…

Startled, I looked up to see Rose staring at me intently. Of course she sees my nervousness. She comes closer puts her hands on my knees and says, “You will look amazing if you do this, but, you don’t have to, I support you either way.” Her famous line, “I support you.” This explains the depth of our friend, not only can she sense my nervousness but she truly lends her support to me no matter the decision. I give her smile and say, “I did promise you.” The barber starts measuring my hair.…

places had been set. At each seat laid a perfectly sharpened #2 pencil, an extra eraser and a set of colourful multi sided polyhedra from his own personal collection. The room was ready to provide a hero’s welcome and that’s what would be happening tonight. Everything was exactly as it was meant to be, exactly as planned. A year ago, Evan would have been proud of such a sight, of everything he worked for coming together like magic. Much like the results of a successful skill…

tankard. “Why are you glaring at the king? What’s wrong?” Gwaine’s head swiveled around to look at Percival. “I am not glaring at the king. And besides, you’re the last person who should pass judgment.” Obviously, Gwaine was going to be a mean drunk tonight. It did not happen often, but when it did, the results were usually awful and Gwaine ended up fist fighting with someone. Percival had no intention of coming to blows with his friend, but still, Gwaine’s words irritated him. “What’s that…

Today marked the last meeting before its wheels up for Nashville. We all convened at a West Contra Costa Unified School District Board meeting to thank the Board members for their support of the ILC and let them know just how excited we are. The meeting also gave us an opportunity to stand up before our community and represent not only ourselves but the Ivy League Connection as a whole. In the weeks leading up to the meeting, Don let us know that one representative from each cohort would be…

CHAPTER THREE Ambush OOOOOOOOOO KC’s ship, The High Plains Drifter, was large, but Aramis' ship was larger. Next to it, "The High Plains Drifter" was a rowboat. Its name, transcended from Sand Dragon, was Air Castle or Cloud Castle or something, and it was exactly that: a giant castle, floating in space. Watching over the deserted ship was Jackson, an old spacer. Too old to travel anymore, he still liked to go aboard a real ship when he had the chance. Whenever Aramis came to Mud Hill…

discovered that during elections, Fox News allots more air-time for the Republican candidate, while it is estimated that only about 3-6% of the Democratic candidate’s little coverage is positive. (Pew Research Center, Jesse Holcomb). A Buzzfeed study found that 38% of news from Republican affiliated sources is partially or totally false, while 19% of news from Democratic affiliated sources is partially or totally false (13:47, Last Week Tonight, President Elect-Donald Trump). Both of these…

little by little. John patiently waiting for the drug to take affect. 15 minutes later his mother spaced out like she has no awareness. This is the moment he's been waiting for. His cock is starting to get hard, knowing his mother gonna get pregnant tonight. "Mom, are you alright?" Joan turn her head slowly and replied in a low monotone. "I'm alright John, just feel very strange. I'm having a hard time thinking straight." The drug works flawlessly. John called Dan over, he arrived 30 minutes…

let go. Even though I did not mind, I was still shivering so much from the cold and cringing of the thought of getting caught. “Lee, I really don’t think that we should do this.” I erupted. “Why not? I thought you wanted to do something different tonight?” Lee responds. “Yeah, I know I said that earlier, but I don’t think this is how we should do it.” “Don’t freak out about it, we’ll be fine. The others will have our backs and besides no one will even notice that we’re there.” Her reassurance…
