It Happened One Night

Navajo Nation: Night Chant The Navajos are people that live in the Southwest of the United States, some of the most well-known Native Americans. The Navajo land—or the “Dine Bikeyah”— in the Southwest is quite large, larger than one-fifth of all the states in the United States and has its own government, and still, to this day, maintains a few of the same traditions and myths that their ancestors did. As in most tribes, for the Medicine Men—who are similar to healers—there is a ritual that is…

a CPAP machine which helps me rest at night, but does not help me get up. But once I’m is up, I go non-stop the rest of the day! I teaches three and four year olds at an Arkansas Better Chance school. I am certified through eighth grade but have always loved teaching little kids. I look forward to seeing them every morning and hearing about the things that happened at their house the night before if I do not already know.

studying in middle school, I usually played a lot of games and refused to do any homework. For example, I would play on Saturday and Sunday and did all of my homework on Sunday night, which was a really unwise decision. However, I have changed after one time when I had to give up my sleeping time and did homework. It was a painful night, which I would never forget.

temperatures, stomachs growling begging for food, marching in the cold without any shoes, taking a quick nap in the snow and not waking up.

Before the Holocaust began, Eliezer and his family lived in Sighet, Transylvania. There Eliezer’s parents ran a store; in which his…

anymore, and I never wanted to make any mistake like this for the rest of my life. Because of somethings in my life have been hard, I have changed from careless to caring. My freshman year of highschool, was wild and also nervous about being the younger ones in high school. I didn’t care about anything, beside my grades in school. I was a great student in school, I made excellent grades, and I got along with everyone. The first semester of my freshman year, I was playing volleyball. I had games…

mythology. The man believes that the mishaps that happened to him was probably due to the superstitious belief of having a black cat. One night, the man came home drunk. The man tried to capture the cat because it was avoiding him, but the cat bit him causing a wound on his hand. The man narrates, “the fury of demon instantly possessed me. I knew myself no longer. My original soul seemed, at once, to take its flight from my body, and a…

whispered in my ear threats and statements such as “no one will believe you if you tell”, “this is your fault”, and many others. I believed him since I was only seven and unable to use reason to believe otherwise. When it was finally over, I felt empty, as if he had plucked an essential piece of my being out of me. This torture became…

Emmett Till, A Teenage Civil Rights Symbol Civil rights has been a controversial topic for 60 years and running, unfortunately, thanks to one of the pioneers in civil acts, fourteen year old Emmett Till. Age, and gender are no excuse to show mercy when it comes to the discrimination that African Americans had to face. Even since it was involuntary, Till became a major symbol for what African Americans needed to end in their society. The things that a white family afflicted on this boy, do not…
