Peace Breaks Out

As I walked out of the cafeteria and outside for recess I saw him… standing there in the freezing cold air, watching me as the snowflakes fell on my head. We locked eyes and It was like my heart was pounding out of my chest beat, after beat, after beat, going a hundred miles and hour. Then he turned away. my heart rate went down and my blood was running normally again. It was the 2nd week of the 3rd grade school year, and I already had someone on my back, Justin Heart. He was in 5th grade, 9…

The Lord of the Flies had many small parts and different themes throughout the book. The author, William Golding, did an outstanding job to make one theme be the main part of the novel. Through every chapter he made "The Beast" stand out and be the centre of everything the boys did. He wanted the boys to all have different opinions and thoughts about what "The Beast" was. The little'uns thought of the beast in many ways. In the beginning, a young boy said he saw a snake like creature in the…

Vampires don't sparkle, they aren’t real at all. We took turns dispatching the vampire which was named Edward. When class ended, I went back to my dorm room or dorm 325 and flopped onto the, white, clean bed, with red pillows. I look out the windows watching teachers and students rushing around from class to class. Frustrated from the day I hit my head on the white wood wall of my bunk. I noticed a hard object underneath me.I rolled on my bed and ran my hand over a small, red, coin…

fathers. After getting out of the cart they had to go from cart to cart to try and find them. Eventually they came to the cart that had Kostas in it.

He wanted them to be safe but he also wanted to find his father. As soon as the two kids were going to get onto the cart the NKVD saw them. He had them come out from underneath…

would probably cause lots of commotion. Friday, one more day until the weekend and my birthday. After first period’s geometry test, I can relax and just patiently wait for Mr. Keem to post the grades tonight. My classmates and I all frantically pulled out our notes and began reviewing with each other. People screamed across the room and scrambled around to ask questions.

It was dark. Just dark and cold. Nothing but the frozen breath of a small, dark-skinned boy in the city. She was as quiet as the empty city; the rusty buildings sometimes creaking along with his shaky, unsteady breath. His sweaty hands nervously gripped the gun lying beside him and as he did, he remembered his father. He was always there for him; talking and laughing, then going camping and fishing, and he even taught him how to shoot a gun and-shoot. A shot... a shot which broke him, split him,…

Norris shrugged, his own lips having curled up into a tight smile. "Yes, Juvenile, though it's to be expected." Pausing, as he led her towards the vehicle, his eyes found hers. "Considering your lack of experience with men." As to whether she'd turned him on, the killer left that question unanswered, for if he'd denied it, that could have conflicted against the erection that tented his jeans.

No, Orual was not necessarily jealous of her sister’s palace that she could not even see, but she did become envious over the idea that there was someone or thing out there that was getting more love and attention than Orual.…

Fortunately, her parents weren’t too bothered after Lizzie’s brother talked them down from their initial reaction, and their only second thought was to pull Lizzie from the school to avoid harassment.
