    The king is Avon and as D’Angelo says “The king stays the king”. No matter how much you do, no matter how many of the Kings enemies you kill or how much money you make for the organization you will never be king. The king does not do any work, he uses his pawns or soldiers and even the queen to do his dirty work. As you see in The Wire, Avon rarely ventures into the pit, gets involved in fights or deals drugs personally. One of the other positions in chess that is highly rated is the queen. The queen in chess can move anywhere it wants, is actively involved in strategies and the plot or game. In The Wire Stringer Bell most accurately represents the queen in chess. Stringer is the man that does all the dirty work for Avon (the king). Whenever there is a problem or confrontation Stringer is the one that takes care of it. The Queen is a position that you can work to get there, but only if the king allows it and the old queen is dead or no longer favored by the king. These two pieces are the most well-known in the game of chess but although they are significant they are not the only important aspects in the game. As Lester Freamon said, “And all the pieces…

    uncomfortableness around your peers with a sigh. They are not amused and have decided you are blacklisted from their social group. These are the elite, and only few can gain entry to this group during your first years of high school. The bell rings and you hastily move to history down the hall, ducking and dodging the herds of sheep who have nothing better to do than walk as a barricade in the hall, a single annoying organism. As you arrive you see a select few with the same interests as you.…

    For half of my kindergarten year I would hear that bell. Not the one the teacher would rattle to get her students attention, but the one that indicated that the time for recess had come. I would halfheartedly get out of my seat and walk out onto the play yard. Ready to go on a lonely adventure that my imagination had been dying to show to me. I felt like each second ticked on like hours as I ran out of new adventures to go on, and after a while I would just end up waiting for the bell to ring…

"Hey, Piper, did Gabe give you a solid reason why he broke up with you?" The question should have been asked earlier, but my evil mind had gotten way ahead of me. "Nothing in particular. He said we were getting too serious. Thus, we were done," Piper answered. I nodded and replied, "Well, he will be regretting it soon. I need to go to my locker. I'll meet…

    “Pepper!!” The voice echoed up the stairs. “Pepper!! Get out of bed this minute!!” Pepper’s Mom shouted over the screaming of the baby in the background. “If you’re late to school again, you’re grounded for a month!” Pepper rolled over and pulled the covers up to her chin. “Just five more minutes,” she whispered to herself. Pepper thought about how the day would unfold. She’d show up to school and the math teacher, Mr. Blotson, would give her a disappointed look because she hadn’t simplified the…

    “Let’s put her in the closet before teacher comes back!” Let me go! I shrieked as they threw me in the cramped closet. Thump! Slam! Let me out I screeched as I pounded on the door. “Hahahaha!” The children chuckled as they left me sobbing on the lumpy floor. I cried out for the teacher but my mournful words were muffled by the towering wooden door. It was total silence and I was determined to see the sun. Just before they locked me in the closet, I saw a light bulb at the top of the…
