The Final Test I passed the final test, but they didn’t. It all started with my class, called the “9ers”. We were the first class to ever have their whole grade graduate on the same day. We were the smartest of them all, is what the counselor told us. All we had to do was pass the final test to figure out who were leaving to go to the new community. Every year our counselor picked a small section of our Country and gives each person who passed the final test a new and improved home.…

“His tempo is off,” Sara mutters quietly to herself. It is minutes away until Sara herself will be in the same position as the boy with the off tempo. Sara is worried. She is afraid that with all her nerves of performing in front of the massive crowd, her shakes and trembles will hinder her performance, or even worse, destroy her performance. “I will be alright,” Sara says softly, “I am simply here once more to share the world my music.” Sara pauses for a moment. “My emotions.” As Sara looks…

In the novel Brave New World written by Aldous Huxley, he warns readers about the scientific advances and how they can be a threat to the society. This is evident in biology, technology, and psychology.

as tears fell gently down his face, thinking he’ll be in huge trouble. Mr. Stuarts demanded Grant to take a walk around the school and leave the room. Grant followed the demand and approached back to the lunchroom. At the end of the day, the loudspeaker blasted throughout the hallways and classrooms, telling Grant to go to the principal’s office once more. Grant’s mouth quivered, his eyes were wide open, and his hands up to his cheeks. He walked inside the room, shivering. “Grant, we would…

he Shawshank Redemption” is one of those movies that I wished I’d seen on the big screen. Thanks to videos, however, all was not lost. Whether intentional or not, this film is about grace and hope, as well as the redemption that can occur even in the most dark and degrading corners of our world. Conceived and produced by the secular film community, this engrossing film stands as one of the most entertaining, thought-provoking dramas of this century. But, it’s a film for mature audiences.

It was the most horrid, rancid smell I have ever experienced. It was so bad that I can’t even begin to explain what it was comparable…

It had taken hours. By the end of the day, my fingers and feet had ached. I was covered in dirt, sweat, and water that was suppose to end up on my horse. Riley’s mane and tail were braided, ready for the show tomorrow. His coat gleamed and all excess hair had been trimmed off. I could practically see my reflection when I looked at my saddle. Riley is one of the largest horses I have ever been on. He stands above 16 hands, but he is a gentle giant. He’s covered with chestnut hair, with only his…
