Just Say No

Moments later, the doors slam open. Footsteps sound in our direction, but Alfonso and I haven't broken eye contact. I wish he'd just make his decision to kill me or not. When a hand is placed on my back and an arm drapes over my chest, Alfonso and I both look at stranger. I blink several times this time. I find a very similar face to Alfonso's. Same red hair and green eyes, just the opposite sex. Jenny has come for me. She gives me a brief smile before she uses her arms to hug my head and I…

effecting our real friendships? So many kids are making social media friends then real world friends. Technology is just an easier way of making friends. I’m not saying that making real friends is hard or impossible, but technology helps us with that. Technology is just the reason we are keeping in touch. How does technology help us keep in touch? You can text and get to know the person. Say your best friend moved away, but you can call them, FaceTime them, and text. You could get detailed…

differently. Many people say that Chris was an arrogant rich kid and that he had no business being out in the Alaska wild. People also say that Chris was insane or crazy. None of that truly describes Chris McCandless. Shaun Callarman states that Chris died because he was “just plain crazy”. Chris was just like any other 24 year old man. All he wanted to do was go on an adventure. Chris just happened to have bad luck. He had survived 113 day in the wild on his own. Not many people could say that…

happened. You have just experienced a concussion, and it’s just getting started. Many people suffer from concussions, and it has a very big impact on individuals. For example, former hockey player sued the NHL (National Hockey League) because of concussions they say happened during their games. Also, it has affected students who say after concussions, they have had a hard time in school. First, former hockey player sued the NHL (National Hockey League) because of concussions they say happened…

don’t do anything to you, the ones who are just nice. There are examples of “mockingbirds” in the book that don’t actually mean someone being a “mockingbird”. Another central idea is also racism. Harper Lee doesn’t really say that you should hurt black people. Instead, Atticus says “Shoot all the blue jays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird." What Atticus is saying is that black people don’t hurt anyone, they just go along with their life. That is why it…

Ive just came through the door, tired from a long day of classes and work. As i'm entering i see you on the couch playing dark souls, and watching you curse at the screen makes me forget about any stress I had as i have to hold back my laughter. You didn't hear me come in, you were too focused fighting a boss. I notice that you didnt see me come in so I decide to try and scare you. I come up behind you and grab you while simultaneously yelling "SUP FUCKER". You are extremely startled you threw…

Sometimes the ending of the book is made because of the mistakes of the characters. I think the ending of the a book could change if the characters would have changed their thoughts or actions. Like in the beginning of The Great Gatsby when Nick says “No- Gatsby turned out alright at the end; it is what preyed on Gatsby, what foul dust floated in the wake of his dreams that temporarily closed out my interest in the abortive sorrows and short-winded elations of men.(pg 7)” Like if Tom was never…

of allowing teachers with a license to carry a concealed handgun is that it is the least expensive option for a district to choose. Hiring security guards for even just the high school and middle school is millions of dollars per year. Just because guns are permitted on school campus does not make it mandatory for the district, it just gives them an option to take proper precautions on protecting the district if necessary (Wogan). It gives the option of a self defence method, so the districts…

I believe that justice system has not been biased to African Americans people. As it says in the last paragraph of the Heather Mac Donald article says “black prison rates result from crime not racism.”. The other side says that the justice system is biased to African Americans, they say “black Americans are more likely to serve longer sentences than white Americans for the same crime. Black American are also more likely to have their cars searched I believe that the Justice system does not…

All Christians must believe that drinking any alcohol is a sin because the Bible says so! All Christians must believe that the Earth was created in a literal six-day period because the Bible says so! All Christians must believe that shouldn’t get tattoos because the Bible says so! The problem is that many Christians do believe the opposite of these statements, but how? The reason for this is all on interpretation. There are many issues that Christians are split on because they are interpreting…
