Hatchet Head Before I realized what I’d done, “boom”, it plummeted down and hit me on the head. Minutes previous to the accident, I had been on a scavenger hunt searching for the golden hatchet, looking everywhere, up and down, left, right, but still had not found it. I heard my teammate Grace scream, “Check the Fort” I ran inside the open gate and down the long fence. Once I reached the old ladder I didn’t think twice, I sprinted up it. After quickly reaching the first floor of the fort the…

They say her husband died in a small crane when they ground around him just caved in and buried him alive. An every day we would look up at the top of the hill and look and wonder what was inside the barn because we see the old lady keep going in and out of the barn all day. There were about five or six of us kids that were really close friends. The ages ranged from seven to ten and we were about four and a half foot tall to around five foot. We were all at the same lake place.…

sooner, most people could never figure it out themselves, but I can’t help thinking about how irrational it all seems now. How could I actually think that as businessmen rush to work, coffee in tow, they’d have the time to point out my ratted mousey hair, or that mothers struggling to manage the babies propped on their hips even noticed how my stomach protrudes over my jeans. I shake the thoughts out of my head and rub my temples softly as I walk out of the door into the sterile halls. I…

going to him with this conch in my hands. I’m going to hold it out. Look, I’m going’ to say, you’re stronger than I am and you haven’t got asthma. You can see, I’m going’ to say, and with both eyes. But I don’t ask for my glasses back, not as a favor. I don’t ask you to be a sport, I’ll say, not because you’re strong, but because what’s right’s right. Give me my glasses, I’m going to say you got to!” (242) From this a fight breaks out and Piggy is killed in the incident. He didn’t get to speak…

life on their own can be extremely challenging. The term “aging out” is often used to define individuals that are exiting the foster care system. Legally speaking, aging out describes “youth ages 18 years and older who are no longer eligible to remain in foster care and who receive related state services or have chosen to leave the system” (Paul-Ward and Lambdin-Pattavina 2). However, just because an individual is old enough to age out of the foster care system, it does not mean that they are…

care system, some of them struggles to care for themselves because they cannot trust that someone else will care for them as much. Their only self-motivation is the hardship that some of them deals with, making them challenge themselves to make a way out of the system or make the completely lose hope. While some are fortunate to be placed in foster homes that are suitable for them, others struggle to go from one foster care to…

the movement has changed since he came out, and how the states he has lived in are more open or hostile towards the community. Before, discussing the interview answers, the background of the LGBTQ movement must be discussed first. The Homophile…

to help Tom figure out what his feelings towards his teammate mean is ask him a series of questions. I would ask him about his history with these feelings. I would then ask him about what his feelings towards the opposite sex are. Knowing this is important because sometimes sexuality is not black and white. If Tom says that he also feels attraction towards the opposite sex, it is imperative to consider that he might also be bisexual. The next goal I had for Tom was to figure out how he wanted to…

spreading across the canvas like the sun, rising in the early morning. Then, there was arts and crafts. I remember the snip snip of scissors, the popping of marker and glue caps, the opening and closing of drawers. “Look, I made a butterfly!”, or “”Check out my airplane”. I smell the cookies, I taste the apple juice- the sweet treats of childhood. The excitement you have for snack time. The feeling of getting up and standing in a straight line, with a leader and caboose- completing a long…
