    sometimes. The one thing we don't know though is what they do when we are not around to see. They have the ability to go anywhere and do anything since they have no responsibilities. The one thing no one has ever realized is that they seem homeless but they are keeping up this show to hide their deep and dark secrets they all have hidden from the world. They were all over! The car was leaking gas everywhere! They were coming straight for us. I can't get unbuckled! Why is this not working? Is…

    soldiers as they get hit in different locations around me. I try to aim my gun towards a Vietnamese, closing my eyes before I shoot. I don't look back to that area. I don't want to see whether or not I hit him. My heart pounds in my ears, but it's not loud enough to drown out the moans of pain that sicken me to the core. All I can think of is that this is Hell. Complete and literal Hell. If there wasn't so much adrenaline pumping to keep me going, I think I would have been sick. "Get it…

    The clearing was quiet, it seemed lifeless. The Salinas River still flowed merrily near the hillside, the water was still warm from the afternoon sun, and still reflected a green hue. On one side of the river, the smooth foothill slopes still curved up to the strong and rocky Gabilan Mountains, and the other side was still lined with trees.

It shows you how the Nazis were very vulgar to the Jews. I strongly feel that we need to keep this book in the 7th grade curriculum. It shows kids apart of our history. Also, it shows them how the Jews were treated poorly from the Nazis. The kids need to understand that the stuff that was happening then could affect us some time in…

I sort of closed one eye, like I was taking aim at it. “This is a people shooting hat,” I said. “I shoot people in this hat.” (pg 22) Both of these quotes, recommend the themes of protecting childhood innocence, and alienation.

    I am sure we all have been through this, before i continue i would like to say i am not denying that this happens to Gay men or anyone in the LGBTQ crowd i am just speaking from my perspective, you would tell a male that you are gay and it is never an end. Even females share in speculation when a female says she is a lesbian. I always thought it was unfair. Some of my experiences have been that if a male tells he is gay; no question about it! when a female comes out. males always think that i…
