We Gotta Get out of This Place

a risky peek out of the stall, hoping that he wouldn’t see me. It was the civilian. I went back down and he walked near me and probably went to the stall beside me. He probably didn’t know I was here. I can safely knock him out. But how? I didn’t have any weapons. Except, for my fists. I didn’t hear him lock the stall, a push to open the stall and a hard knock on the head should knock him out. I pushed open the door. “Hey what the-” I put all my force into my fist, he was knocked out. I have a…

(Steinbeck 34-35)’”. During this era, migrant workers usually traveled alone, because being a migrant worker was a lonesome job to have. When the other ranchers met George and Lennie, a noticeable difference between them was the fact that they traveled together, and no one else did. It is inferred that the men must have some reason to confide in each other as travel partners, and that would be harder for others to understand. John Steinbeck wrote, “‘O.K. Someday- we’re gonna get the jack…

the longing to leave behind a town that holds few opportunities and take on the unknown in search of a more fulfilling future. In analyzing this song, three major themes can be identified. These can be simply summarized as escapism, love and internal turmoil. While all of these elements overlap and come together under the broad idea of young people wanting to get away from the unpleasant aspects of life, each individual component also speaks to Springsteen’s personal…

Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Ooh, black and yellow! Let's shake it up a little. Barry! Breakfast is ready! Ooming! with power washers and M-80s! One-eighth a stick of dynamite! She saved my life! And she understands me. This is over! Eat this. This is not over! What…

Yuzu Takahashi walked into her new dorm, which was empty save a couple beds, two desks, and several unopened boxes. "Guess my new roommate hasn't made it yet," she mumbled. "I think this is the right place anyway." Yuzu double checked the number on the door and, satisfied it was the right room, threw her bag on the desk and fell onto the bed. An hour or so later Yuzu woke up to someone tugging on her arm. "Hey, we're gonna be late for the opening ceremony! Come on, please wake up I don't…

Cake I do not own Grey's Anatomy. I just couldn't get this out of my head so I had to write it out. Just a heads up, I'm not sure of Lexie's exact birthday, so I've made it November 24th mainly because it works with the pregnancy storyline. And since she was born in 1984 that would make her thirty-three in this story. Also, Ethan is five and Paisley is two. Okay, enough of that, enjoy. Rated T Lexie opens her eyes, feeling around for Mark's body as she wakes. The house is impossibly cold and…

Tabori, oh my gosh, you gotta give this man so much credit. He is brilliant. 'Cause again, he is not like, "Well, this is what's on the page, so I gotta get it in the can." There was a lot of stuff changing before our eyes all the time. Even all of my scenes, I would come to set and be like, "What? Wait a minute. This is all different now. Okay." But Kristoffer Tabori gets so much of the credit for really making this move flow and be real, and there's nothing staged like, "This is where they sit…

basics of grappling. We have some grappling hooks for all of you and we will begin to take turns scaling this large wall one at a time.” Goodfellow showed us how the hooks worked. They were made from heavy iron and braided fiber rope. We had to twirl them through the air to launch them up to the top of the wall. Then we had to place our feet against it and start climbing up. It took a few practices, but I began to pick up on it pretty quickly. "No rush guys, take your time to get used to how…
