Knocked Out

Any family excursion requires a prep/mobilization period of at least half an hour. Even if there were a fire in our house, I'm adamant that we would not be able to evacuate the house before it burns to the ground. How can you expect our family to get out of the house in less than five minutes when it takes us forty minutes just to go on a late-night run to Sonics for…

because she saw the sun and remembers what is lookes likes. The kids are growing up on venus where there are storms all the time. Once every 7 years it stops raining and the sun comes out for only 2 hours. Margot moved to venus from earth when she was 4 so she has seen the sun. The other kids were only 2 when the sun came out so they don't remember what the sun looks like,so the kids are jealous that she remembers what the sun looks like. Some people may disagree and say the theme of the story…

school because I was afraid to be out; my mental health suffered, my physical health suffered, and my relationships suffered. I started distancing myself from my family and friends and spending a lot of time alone. Every day at school I would have to pretend to be someone that I wasn't and put on this fake smile so no one would know something was wrong. I would walk around every day so mad at the world when I was really just fighting with myself. Since coming out and being more open with other…

The day started of fairly normal. My friend had just got her license and she offered to take me to Washington, Missouri to go shopping and just have a fun day out. I was really excited to finally go out without a parent and to hang out with a friend. Even though I had a nagging feeling like I should’ve just stayed home and help my mom out around the house, I just ignored it and decided to go anyway. Now, when…

Well, why are you going outside? Roy. I’m just doing something to surprise Suzy. Don’t say anything to anybody. [He runs out the door to get the ladder he had set out earlier. With only five minutes left until they get here he rushed to the back of the house and sets up the ladder. He climbs up and gets ready.] Norma (talking out loud to herself). Oh my they are going to be here any second and I don’t have any of the main dishes ready. Mimsey (walking in the door). We’re…

because since she is locked in her room, it represents how she felt trapped in her marriage with Brently and she could not positively express herself. When Josephine goes to check on Louise, she tells her to go away. While Josephine begs her to come out, Louise remembers that “it was only yesterday she had thought with a shudder that life might be long” (Chopin 2). With this thought, it shows how while being alone upstairs, she feels so close close to freedom, she can almost reach it. It also…

Portland, Oregon. I started the interview with asking her, “What new technology came out during your childhood?”, she replied, “... we had cellphones, but they were like the size of a tv remote, but bigger”. She laughed and asked my aunt if she remembers what the cell phone looked like. My grandmother adds, “The cell phones that are out now are so much smaller compared to what was in my generation. Also the pager came out, where people paged people”. I asked her how did the device impact her…

gained the element fire, Echo gained water; Luna gained wind. We only had the three elements, there is another one. The elements were just an amazing bonus. Echo also has the ability to become invisible. Luna can control the weather, if it is not too out of control. I can have visions of future events. "Fire is the fuel that powers your energy, that gives you drive, courage and ambition. We need air to breathe and without it we would not exist. It is the element that influences your mind and…

spell. I shake off the snow, figuring that one of my friends played a trick on me by casting a blizzard into my room. I look out the window to see who did it, but instead I see the large city of Camelot covered with ice as blue as the sky usually is, and the sky covered in massive black clouds with snow billowing out of them faster than you can say... “Yikes!” I jump out of the way as a few more feet of snow pile onto my desk in the corner.I look at the mirror to see that my brown hair is a…

¨Oouch! That's tight!¨ Rocco ignored it and continued to hook her up to the cords. Rocco held a small blue container that said biohazard in an electric orange and charcoal black, then continued to take out the 5-inch needle that was about to be injected into Imani´s arm. When it happened, Imani was out cold. Looked…
