Leather

With an expressive hiss the door slid open. The cold, moist weather sprinted in the door painting goose bumps over every inch of our bodies. To stay warm, we had to keep any unprotected skin tucked away from the harsh October weather. The Sartell Varsity Soccer Team and I slowly inched our way off the bus in an attempt to stay as long as possible in the warmth. Taking my first step onto the wet cement sidewalk, I was battered with frigid snow and strong winds. I had only just stepped foot on the…

It's 9:00p.m. in Boston, Massachusetts. Jenny is a 14 year old girl who just finished getting ready for bed. That's when she notices that her little 6 year old brother’s light was still on. That's odd she thought Ben should have gone to bed hours ago. Jenny slowly opens his door and sees that Ben is pretending to be Spiderman again. Ben freezes wondering if his mom just caught him saving Spiderman but, he sees that it is just Jenny he relaxes just a little bit. “Get back to bed, you should…

walls. All had a peachy tint. The doors were made of a beautiful oak wood it had a nice gloss. He walked into and smelled the smell of sweat and the stomping of fellow students, the hall with fear in his dark amber eyes and he saw Dusty with his dark leather…

was my first time going skating. After, I got dressed my dad and I headed over to the car. I carefully climb into the back seat. “OUCH!” I yell as my thighs touch the burning hot leather seats. “Are you okay,” my dad asks. “Yes,” I reply, laughing at how scared my dad got. I buckle up being very careful of the leather and we drive off to the skating rink.…

They must be bigger than double overhead!" I yank myself out the warm leather chair to see endless sets of enormous rolling waves, crashing on the rocky shore, as my jaw drops, feeling as if it just dropped to the ground. I instantly look over at Tristan with a grin on face and said: " Bro, this is going to be insane!". Within…

at a Waco hospital. Sergeant Swanton said “the injured were taken to hospitals with multiple gunshot and stab wounds”.(Amanda Art) In Waco, police declined to name all the motorcycle gangs involved, though several detained bikers were seen wearing leather jackets with the words “Scimitars” and “Cossacks” written on the back. (Matt Pearce, Molly Hennessy-Fiske) Police intervened when “They turned on our officers. Our officers returned gunfire,…

Black Men would be proven innocent but they would still imprison them or worse, sentenced them to death. A witness said at court that he says Johnson holding a leather strap, Johnson said that he doesn't have one. Johnson had many witnesses in court that prove him innocent but Johnson was put in a court with no African Americans as his juries therefore he was killed(Grimsley). Johnson was proven innocent, but the white juries still had the nerve to kill him even if he didn't rape the girl; it…

a local citizen’s house who had gained some type of odd nickname and reputation. For instance, ‘Dona Abarca’s’ house had once been the local home of the only cobbler in the region. So, the locals had named her Dona Abarca, after the type of shoe leather once used. In spite of the fact, her last name was actually Alamilla. And her house became a reference point to any home in the community, sort of the way…

Crane’s description of the bar where Pete works subtly highlights the deceptiveness of this bar’s appearance. The words “imitation leather” depict the fake or misleading qualities of the bar. The “massiveness” of the “shining bar” is another deception of appearance as the “mirrors set in the face of the sideboard” make it look larger than actuality. The mirror also “multiplied” the number of “shimmering glasses” giving the feeling of elegance and high quality. However, the glasses were never…

second thing that caught his attention was the sword’s razor sharp pommel; it was a giant tear-shaped ruby that was fixed in place with platinum prongs extending out from the grip. The grip was also made of platinum and was partially wrapped in white leather. But what really caught his eye was the elegant cursive engraving that was located directly above the crossguard, parallel to the blade. It read: Iravayne. There was another, smaller, cursive engraving just below that one, but he did not get…
