    Catch 22 Research Paper

    • 729 Words
    • 3 Pages

    could continue to get cash assistance was if I go to a program called strive from 8am until 5pm or go back to work. This meant placing my children in daycare. Strive was this program that you go to where so called professionals teach you how to be job ready, but also talk to you like you aren’t shit. I decided that I would just seek full-time employment. I didn’t want to place my children in child care though. I’ve never been too trusting of others with my children because of my abuse as a child, and also because of the fact that when I was a little girl in preschool, I remember being made to literally wash my mouth out with soap by a European teacher, for telling a European girl to shut up. The European girl had actually told me to shut up first, and I responded back to her by telling her to shut up. My teacher only heard me though supposedly, and I was the one who was reprimanded. I’ve always felt that no one would care for my children like me. I didn’t want to place my children in daycare, but now I was being given an ultimatum so, I figured for all the time I would spend at strive having to have my children in child care for the little bit of money I was making from public assistance, I might as well, go to work full time and put my children in childcare and make way more money. I felt like I was in a catch 22 with the whole working or strive arrangements and having to send my babies to child care; but, going to work…

    He could act a little, did it in High School. That was how he met his wife. And it made lying that much easier. “Shut up and don't talk.” The voice was not feminine. It was masculine in every sense of the word. Rough and deep with a biting edge that made him flinch. “You have less than 5 minutes to confess what you did. I have a high caliber rifle with its crosshairs hovering right over your head. And I never miss.” “Confess what?” The man's voice went from exhausted to terrified at the sound…

    Ignorance Is Ignorance

    holes in others ignorant arguments. Now to say that ignorance being my biggest pet peeves not at all to say that I do not understand that people are still learning. We are all still learning, It simply suggests that my tolerance for those who are judgmental, arrogant, prideful, and those who would rather pretend a problem does not exist than face it, is very limited. Rather than playing to this idea that “ignorance is bliss” why not adopt the rule that if you don 't have anything smart to say…

    I laughed at some of the sketchy acting and the often times hilarious low-budget look of the film. I was a naive, stupid boy back then and nowadays I can appreciate a film better. Instead of laughing at the acting, I accept it as a product of its time. The low-budget look of the film no longer seems terrible, but impressive given the actual budget. This time around, I feel in love with the film, much in thanks to Arrow Video's amazing work on the fixing up the transfer, which I will get to in a…

    ~☾~ I woke up on the floor, a pillow beneath my head and a blanket below my body. I squinted around, trying to figure out exactly where I was. I didn’t recognize the room, but then again, it could be one of the dozens of rooms I had yet to explore in the pack house. I got up and let the things how I had found them, entering the dimly lit hallway. The hallway looked familiar enough so I kept following it until I got to a door I recognized. Beau’s. I opened the door and the second I did arms…

    Jon Forrester never left his room. Which was common for a writer. The only times were for a smoke, or too lie up on the roof and watch the planes fly by. The planes were headed somewhere important. Off too burn a couple of traitors, no doubt.Anybody with two functioning eyeballs could see the bombs hanging off the belly of the machines. End of the world shit. Anybody with a brain knew that the taste of sulfur and gas in the air, wasn’t natural. Nor was the way the skyline would light up like…

    Holocaust Story “Get up!” the fat officer shouts, “All of you, get up! Now!” We start to get up. We’ve been sitting here for what feels like an eternity; no one has a watch any more so I don’t know how long it’s actually been. All I know is that we have been here since last night and that it’s cold. When they marched into the ghetto last night, we had been asleep and as comfortable as anyone could get here.
