‘Let’s go back in,’ Constable Lumina said. ‘Sure.’ Sarah butted out her cigarette and picked up her bag. Constable Peters came back, followed by Sarah and Constable Lumina. The two women were carrying half empty mugs. They smelt of nicotine and mint. Constable Peters set up the recorder and turned it on. ‘So,’ he said, ‘tell me what you and Ashleigh did once you left the house.’ His voice was softer now, it reminded Jo of Grandpa Tom, of sitting on the back veranda with him when she was little, of him saying, ‘Tell me what’s wrong.’ Grandpa Tom hadn’t betrayed her, hadn’t told their secrets, not even to Mandy. With him, she’d been safe. But this was not a safe place. Constable Peters was recording their conversation. Constable Lumina was making notes. They would take her words and use them against her. But what could they do to her? What would be worse than the accident? Than Ash’s death? All her life she worried about other people, about other people liking her, not liking her, about the future, but if there was no future, what did any of it matter. If she knew what they actually wanted from her, what they wanted her to say, she could say it and then it would be over. Would it ever be over? ‘We drove to Kelly’s place to pick up Kelly and Laura and then to Willi. We parked the car and then we walked to the party.’ ‘Whose party was it?’ Constable Peters asked. ‘A school friend.’ ‘What’s her name?’ ‘Rosie Pearce.’ ‘Where was the party?’ ‘At a restaurant on the beach.…

should be out by the garage,” Rob told Jack as he opened the car door. He left it open as he slid out of his seat, sprinted through the grass, ducked around to the driveway, and halted as the flashlight beam fell upon the gasoline can. Jack picked it up, squeezing the handle tight enough that if he’d shined the beam upon his own hand, his knuckles would’ve been white. He carried it the way one carries a fallen tissue, delicate but disgusted, and darted back to the vehicle. The time on the clock…

A swarm of bees took flight in my stomach. Although the roar of the crowd was audible from backstage, I moved around attempting to hear the fulfilling clank of the beads that attached to my cornrow braids. I felt skeptical about everything around me as this was more than ever I dreamed of in the twenty-five years of my life. I mustered the courage to peer behind the curtains only to find multitudinous copies of my book being held by people whom I’d never met before. The same words of “The fear…

Company Purpose: Under Armour was founded in 1996 by Kevin Plank from the basement of his grandmother’s house in Washington, D.C. In 1995, Plank, a college football player, had noticed that the T-shirts that he and his teammates wore underneath their pads were always drenched with sweat after games and practices. Plank thought “there has to be something better,” and started designing a new athletic T-shirt that would stay light during exercise, even at the hottest temperatures. After some…

Under Armour is located in Baltimore, Maryland, but that was not its original location. In 1996, Kevin Plank was only 23 years old when he had an idea to deal with his soaking wet t-shirts from playing football that would eventually change the way athletes and non-athletes deal with this problem. Kevin was a former University of Maryland special team captain, and needed a solution so he set out to develop a solution to his growing problem so he started a company called Under Armour that was…

refugee applications, and the situation of those granted ‘protection’. This essay will also argue how both the major political parties in Australia have failed, as well as the mainstream media on the issue of refugees and immigration policies. To comprehend the political nature and influences of the term “boat people”, we must first establish an understanding of the background and recent Australian history of refugee and asylum seeker policy which contributed to the volatile political landscape…

for power. In life, truth build trust and the absence of it breeds the opposite. Now a days, people know straight off the bat not to be fooled and fully trust politicians, it has become an instinct (Saner, 2012). The big question is, how long can this institution that is only trusted by a third of our population and is dominated by an organisational structure, which is trusted by half as many people can endure? And how can politicians ask the public to trust them when they cannot even trust each…

On 13 February 2008, the Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, delivered his apology to the Stolen Generations on behalf of the parliament. This is considered as an important point in current Australian history as it revise the past which would influence the relations between Australian groups in present and future. (Nobles, 2008).In order to understand how he tried to create an imagined community in his speech, I will analyse the apology on two faces: rhetoric and content. Firstly, I will point…
