The Hurt Locker

After the scandal broke out the New Orleans Saints organization had a real mess to deal with. The Saints name had been tarnished and will always be remembered as the organization that put bounties on opposing teams. As an organization these aren’t the types of things that you want to be remembered by. That’s why ethics plays a huge role in the world of business. With companies and organizations people’s opinions are everything. Individuals aren’t going to affiliate themselves or buy something…

door of the school, I grasp the cold metal handle, open it, and slam a piece of wood underneath to keep it ajar. After we become accustom to the cold shock, Mrs. Cimenski, our director, orders us to haul the heavy wooden tables and a set of four lockers toward our designated backstage area. We obtain many scratches and bruises as we struggle through multiple doors and cotton curtains. Our banged bodies collect the makeup and costumes and begin a brisk walk to our assigned classroom. As soon as…

The definition for teen suicide used today is “The tragedy of a young person dying because of overwhelming hopelessness or frustration.” Teen Suicide is a very dangerous and common form of death for teens. Teenagers who are going thru a hard time in their lives feel as if there is no escape or end to their problems. Peer pressure is one of the biggest things that are attacking teens around the world today. This is a very serious problem and should not be used as a joke or laughing matter. Teen…

Another reason I think James Howe wrote The Misfits is because it shows how bullying shouldn’t be happening in the first place, and how bad it can and will hurt. Skeezie, Bobby, and Joe are great characters to show this and you really make a connection to them after you see the dumb reasons why they’re bullied and how they overcame it to become successful people.

Courage for standing up for something you believe in is the most important type of courage. The scene in the locker room shows courage from Jeremiah. “Though his eyes looked terribly melancholy, whacking Finch and Basca…

put little gifts in her locker every day. People would always bully me for my lazy eye of how it would move all of the sudden and say how ugly it was and how ugly I am. One day at lunch Derek came up to Lila and gave her 12 roses but she yelled at him and didn’t take them.…

Vietnamese man guided Lt. Jimmy Cross and his soldiers through an area riddled with minefields. In The Things They Carried, the od man expertly guided the soldiers through the dangerous area so that “in those five days on the Batangan Peninsula nobody got hurt” (32). In the story “Minefield” the same thing transpired, but it was an American soldier who guided a Cambodian boy out of a minefield. He slowly walked in, retrieved him, and “Somehow made it back and I delivered the little boy into his…

Reality versus Perceptibility Growing up I remember watching so many books, shows, and movies about high school. A few of them taught lessons. A few of them portrayed high school to be the greatest time or the worst time of your life. Some even went above and beyond to show you what high school was about, while staying true but being overly dramatic. By growing up in the age of technology watching the tv was basically and everyday thing. Even tho sometimes it was turned into a privilege.…

you tried on a watch and accidentally walked out of the store with it, you didn’t purposely do it, but your action produced a negative outcome. I violated a silver rule. I wouldn’t want one of my teammates to fumble, therefore I should not fumble and hurt my teammates as well. Although my actions were negative, I embrace the mistakes I made.
