The Hills Have Eyes

As I woke up from a night of excellent sleep, I turned over in my bed to see a stunning commercial on the television. Colors were flashing red, blue, and about every other color so I knew it must be something important. I rubbed my eyes so I could see the television more clearly and I read off the screen “wanted: 5 people between the ages of 14 and 18 to participate in a once in a lifetime opportunity… A round trip to Mars is being given away to 3 lucky winners, visit www.trip2mars.com.

In this week, I read a book about Greek myths for children. When I was a child, I ever watch a custom about Greek myths. That is very interesting like Chinese myths. Now I read the Greek myths later, I deeply love the book. In the book, the first story tells Prometheus for us. This story tells a story about a god named Prometheus, created the human satisfaction and happiness. He is also very willing to help people. Because of this, Prometheus defended human actively between human and gods, and…

a purpose. I am forever grateful for the opportunity I was given. I now understand the power my voice has on others and on myself. Writing out my thoughts and opinions onto paper helps to give me insight onto the feelings that I may not even know I have. Writing can be as small as a meaningless text to sitting in front of a room full of strangers giving your testimony. Writing helped give me a voice that I was not even aware I had to a room full of people that desperately needed to hear that…

And daring. And I have proof to show each reason is correct. The first reason why I like the protagonist is that Percy is a smart kid. Yeah, he might get in trouble Yeah, he may blow some stuff up And he might get expelled from school And needs to change from school every single school year but that doesn't mean he is feeble minded. He just needs to fight against some monster to whichever school he goes to or in the streets And ends up destroying something. Sure, he might have ADHD But he…

perspective rather than a white person’s. Usually one would be looking through a white person’s eyes because everyone seems to think that white people’s opinions are the only one’s in America that matter. Throughout these texts the reader gets to know what it’s like to see what America is like not through a rich and healthy white person’s eyes but through someone who actually has ethnic minority struggles they have to deal with on a daily basis. Through these texts the main characters develop…

I was sitting in the elementary school near my Blue Hill street apartment. It was period 8 and 9 language arts class, one of my favorite studies. Mr.Morrissey, my teacher was teaching us how to compose introductions. I was no longer sitting by the Other June, and I was gratified for that. And I was gratified for a surplus of things, but little did I know I was about to feel gratified for something much more imperative, my mother. With the events that took place, I thought my mother was going to…

Sonia Sotomayor, and even Jennifer Lawrence all have a common traits; they are all leaders known by many people worldwide. Not all were favorites in the eyes of the public, but all had a common goal to make the world or their country a better place, according to their own perspective. Everyone has their own definition of what they believe a leader is; some might say that a leader just need to be able to control a crowd, while other say that they have to assert dominance and people must almost…

peace. Even though the Native Americans kept falling into similar situations, they kept fighting for their homeland. Describing the situation of the Black Hills, Tatanka Yotanka’s quote perfectly captures all Native American’s response and reaction to the United States’ government’s acts of horror. “We want no white men here. The Black Hills belong to me. If the whites try to take them, I will fight.” (273). This idea perfectly represents all of the Native Americans response to the pioneers…
