Speak is a novel about Melinda Sordino,…

Let’s Talk About Israel On an episode of “The Daily Show” this summer, Jon Stewart spoke about Israel. In this specific segment, Stewart informed his viewers how America was re-supplying Israel with ammunition to defend itself against Hamas. In response to this, he said, “We cannot be Israel’s rehab sponsor and it’s drug dealer. It’s not going to work.” Well, I am sure you can imagine the backlash Stewart received. To many, this was unjustified criticism of Israel. To others, it was spot on…

I slowly stared at thee proof of my crime as the guilt was slowly eating me alive. I stared at the piece of paper that would determine the possibility my life and death.

It was a Thursday afternoon 2:43 pm. At school it felt like The Jonathan Wakeman School had prisoned 23 people in a four walled room filled with…

If someone were to ask, “what are the kind of words are you NOT allowed to say called?”, how would you respond? Cursing? Swearing? Cussing? Having a foul mouth? There are many different variations of this peculiar part of the English language, but one thing is clear about them: you may get in trouble for saying them. Along with having many different names, this part of the language that will be called profanity originates from many different subjects of what is considered taboo. But just who…

Everyone panicked when they read the daily paper. Immediately, the residents of the town were filled with fear and confusion of what happened. The town was supposed to be the safest place in the world, with steel walls surrounding it, cameras everywhere and retinal and fingerprint scans required to open every door. Even with all of those securities, Mr. Jenkins woke up to a stolen wallet. When he reported this to the local police, they were skeptical. “What do you mean you can’t find your wallet…

I heard a story recently about Paul Larson. He was a contestant on the television game show called “Press Your Luck”, in the mid 1980’s.
