I was allowed to make my observations in various parts of the building such as the lobby, lunchroom, and activities room.

stars. They burn fast and bright, then for no real reason, or for reasons we can’t understand, fade forever. They say space might be infinite but that means infinite stars, too, if you think about it. Some have to collide. Some have to burn out to make room for the next. It’s freshman year and my mom helps me move cross-state from Colorado to Nebraska, unload my stuff in giant rolling laundry carts into McGloin Hall, my home for the next nine months. McGloin is supposed to be just for…

The blues are in essence the story of a musician’s life. All the pain they have felt in their lifetime goes into the beautiful music that they enchantingly produce. James Baldwin’s short story, “Sonny’s Blues”, is written to tell the pain of Harlem in its lifetime, and the escape route those who live there take. “Sonny’s blues” has a broad focus on grace, escaping, and the black community. “Sonny’s Blues” indirectly focuses on grace. In the short story Grace is the name of the narrator’s…

People would already stare at me because I was new, but also because I was in a wheelchair and I had a bright pink, smelly, double leg cast. I wore a ugly blue and gray stripped shirt that had black sparkly peace signs. I also wore black pants that snapped up along the sides because that was the only thing that would fit over my cast. When I came into the class, people mumbled to their friends. My…

According to the news guy, the river should crest below the top of the dike,” said Jed, “but I’m worried” “So come sit,” said the old man, “There’s only one thing left to do, and that’s what the Blues are for. I’ve been with the river all my life. It comes, it goes, and the Blues flows right along with it. When the rivers gone, I’ll be gone, so lets help the river along.

Emma pulled up to the small ranch that she had grown up in. Although she hadn't visited in years, it was exactly as she had remembered. The powder blue house with white shutters and a white door. The lush bushes circled the house. But now there was a for sale sign on the lawn, one that would be taken down tomorrow after the papers were signed.

She's in a Japanese sitting style on the polished wooden floor of her bedroom, dipping her light silver and blue handled sword into a bucket full of water.
