Although those experiences happened long before my story, none of them as clearly taught me the necessity of having a phone near me at all times. I purchased my first home when I was twenty-one. It was a cute little three bedroom house with hedges in the front and windows all along…

There is an element…

emotional appeal. In this commercial there's a teenage girl named Katie in her bedroom. While her boyfriend (name not mentioned) is outside her bedroom window trying to get her attention. Instead of throwing the cliche small stones through the window, he throws Skittles, which is a brand of little colorful pieces of candy. Much like M&Ms but fruit flavored instead of chocolate. Instead of coming to the window for a Romeo and…

fantasies in which he has complete control of her.

Jada entered her bedroom, flicking on the light and unwrapping the wet towel from around to her body. As she walked by the mirror on the left, her profile revealed the burgeoning form of a young woman, someone who looked much older than the 14 year old girl reflected. The purple bikini clinged to her flesh and goosebumps spread over her arms and stomach as the air conditioning blew down from the vent above on her cold hair.
