What About Me

The Westcliff Wraith Hayden Andrews and her parents pulled up to their new house in Westcliff, California. “Well, this is it!” Hayden’s parents announced to her excitedly. What did they expect when they showed her this? “It looks like it’s 1,000 years old.” Hayden said, unenthusiastically. Hayden always seemed to have this sixth sense on getting good or bad vibes from people or places, and this place gave off major bad vibes. It was kind of weird, but Hayden decided to give it a shot. Her…

parents and how careless they were. Other times I felt bad for the kids and the circumstance they were in. Some of this kids didn’t know any different they just thought things were supposed to be like this. My heart hurt while reading this story. It made me realize that the normal person on the outside can be battling some type of demons even if no one else can see them. Before reading this book I thought I wanted to work in children’s division. After reading this book I think it’s better if I…

Imagine a child, one who is exuberant, amiable, and full of humor. A few years ago, that child would have resembled me. I was a kid who loved to be around friends, and make everyone laugh; however, there was an event that drastically changed that: I got into a four-wheeling accident after sneaking out with my friends. Before I got into the accident, I was an audacious and social kid; afterwards, I became much more cautious and introverted. Prior to the accident, I was a fairly gregarious child,…

This week’s reading is basically about the ordinary affects, the term that we may hear before but not really pay attention to. The reading is very interesting that is composed by different vignettes. Many vignettes are the ordinary everyday life and very familiar for me but I have never thought differently. Author Kathleen Stewart is trying to use different vignettes to show how we can think deeply of ordinary everyday life and shift our practical knowledges of intimate experiences. Stewart…

been to more than my fair share of schools, getting bullied at everyone of them for my “gift”. Yes I do realise I 'm “different” some may call me a freak. But little did I know all of that was about to change. This is my story, the story of an average 14 year old girl. Basically it all started about five years ago in a strange town called Vail. I was about nine, I had been dabbling in an art called Wicca. I was such a foolish child, I didn’t know when to stop. I was talking to my mother Summer…

Mr. Campbell I wanted give you an apology because I was getting started writing my rough draft and I was reading it to myself, and I started to get thirsty, then got up to get a drink. I left the door cracked because it would only take me about 6 minutes. I grab my drink, and while I'm sipping on it, I heard my door open. Next thing you know I hear tearing and ruling; I sit my drink down and run to my room. Once I get there and look down at the floor, my paper is ripped to shreds by my dog. I…

past semester. I have always used the future to drive me through past adversities that I was facing. By focusing on what I still need to do rather than on what happened. In the long term I don’t think this is good for me because I still struggle with a lot of things that have happened – even those that are in the distant past. I think this is because I chose to not talk about things but instead just ignore them and move on. This has helped me learn how to repress some memories, and I can…

up and walked toward the door. As he opened the door, he looked back and said, “George, Don’t forget about me when you leave.” “Of course Slim, I’ll never forget what you’ve done for us.” Slim stepped out of the bunkhouse and left George and Candy by themselves. They looked at each other for a moment then George went back to work on the letter. As he was writing away, he began to think about what Slim said. He realized he was right, Curley was going to cause trouble if he found out. George and…
