Shoot

could come out dead. Running from the cops you will see and all you can say “I don't know, sorry” or a click and bang will end up being at night at the front of your door. Every saturday night you will hear shoot outs and the next day will be either cars, houses, and even people. Growing up with shoot outs and violence is not that easy staying up all night to make sure they don't come back or even break into your house. I won't say my neighborhood will be the best place is just the people who…

freshman year, I was at my FFA district trap shoot. This shoot was a 100-bird shoot, meaning we would go up to the line four times, shoot twenty-five shells spread out upon five stations, to shoot one hundred shells total. It was the third time to the line and I was on station three and my vision was gradually getting worse, causing me to miss more birds. But I continued to go up to the line and shoot. The fourth and final time we went up, it was my turn to shoot. I said pull and one bird came…

“First place for the free throw hoop shoot for ages 8-9 is...Amaya Hamilton!” Hearing the president of the Elks hoop shoot call my name for first place in the regionals was very surprising. This means that I am going to state for the free throw shooting competition in Midland, Michigan. Before making it to the regionals, I got first place at districts. What made the experience even better is that my brother, Elijah, made it to state along with me for his age group. After a long car ride to…

The film Shoot the Piano Player (1960), starts with scene of a moving piano that develops a happy mood for the film. The piano plays a significant part for the film, since it’s the first thing that viewers are going to remember about the film. Then there is a shift in sound from the music to the sound of a person running that creates a dramatic effect, because the scene is completely dark with only the headlights from the car to guide the viewers through the setting of the scene. In the opening…

George Orwell’s essay “How to Shoot an Elephant” can be seen as a commentary and critique about imperialism in which the elephant is a metaphor for the colonized people and the British police officer is the colonizer in colonial Burma. Orwell’s essay helped readers to see that imperialism and empires are not clear cut and black and white as it seems to be, there are shades of grey, muddled, and a middleman between the two sides of the colonized and the colonizer. Orwell critiques about empire…

Robin. These are pictures of her when she was even a preteen. The pastor was worshiping her? What kind of sick obsession am I seeing here? I turned my flashlight off, as the candle lights were strong enough to light the room in the back. From there, I could see the center of the pastor’s obsession with my former classmate. There were pictures of Robin, from the ceiling to the floor, flowers and lingerie. The was the biggest shrine I’ve seen since the high school. What got my attention…

video games are more violent than kids who don’t. In the article “High-Jinks: Shoot-Out” Guy Martin says that there is a $20 entry fee that goes into the winner’s pot. This indicates that when you enter the game and don’t win you waste $20. This demonstrates that kids throw away money just to do something that they might not even be in for long. Other…

whenever he wanted. It was kept locked up in his apartment and only used when he was working. A few times she went along on the shoots and behind the camera she felt protected. She thought of Ryan—how he told her to feel honored. Except the real honor, she discovered, was being a curator. Looking. Judging. Choosing. Once, Terrance even asked her opinion during a shoot. Do you think Cynthia should stand on the left or the right side of Brandon? Cynthia’s body looked like a child’s accept her…

Boudoir Shoot The common saying I almost always apply towards myself is, “You are your own biggest critique.” I am getting married in December, so I decided I should do something to bless my future husband. I was completely uncomfortable with this idea and wasn’t going to do it, but this assignment encouraged me to venture out of my comfort zone. I wanted to give boudoir photos to him before the wedding day as my wedding gift. But, I did not want to have someone take pictures of my half naked…
