The Hidden

In the book, Among the Hidden by Margaret Haddix Peterson, the protagonist was a young boy named Luke Garner, who was a third child forced into hiding by the Population Law. It was created to prevent starvation during the time where there wasn’t enough food for everyone because of famines.

Another barrier is the social workers have no training with dementia patients or no knowledge at all of what they should do.

The Outliers So soft was the night, the silent patter of rain drips down the side of the house. It was a strange house, but not important enough to mention, no it was the property it was on that was the mystery. The secrets hidden on this ground, the battles fought, and the people who lived there didn't know a thing. This area seemed blessed by nature, it would seem. All plants grew here, all fruits, and a smell, of a mixture of cinnamon and fruit, tinging the air. The hidden stories…

The stage was small and the audience was close around the stage which added to the enjoyment of the performance. The props and costumes seemed to be from the 1940’s and well placed around the stage. The hidden doors that actually swung open and closed were fabulous and was used perfectly with the story. Elsa Von Grossenknueten played by Carolin Hansa did a great job at leading your imagination to believe there were actually hidden tunnels behind them. Leaving your mind to wonder what lurks in…

So I go for a ride on Splash Mountain. The seat is a model of a log and is designed to hold five people. Advancing to the seat, I feel my pants absorb the water from the previous ride; the handles are cold and slippery. The log begins forward and adrenaline is pumping through my body and my heart is racing. Vibrant colors all over the area, not knowing what is best to look at. The seat is going uphill, making me anxious. All of a sudden, the seat plummets and my body rises from the seat with a…
