When Doves Cry

When I heard the words “ He has no mother. He has no skates “ I felt like shattering glass as I realized that Jerry lied to me. As I snapped out of it I told the lady what way did you see him go last. She replied “ I don't know “ I ran outside yelling his name like a crazy psychopath. As I thought of the many places he would go to I remembered he liked the pink and white bloomed laurel. As I rushed to the laurel a cool icy stroke of breeze hit me. Then I saw the yellow bright sun…

Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes were a rock band formed in New Jersey. Musicians such as these inspired Bon Jovi to pursue a career in music. After he was finished with high school at St. Joseph High School, New Jersey, he worked as a janitor. When he was 16, Jon Bongiovi, started playing in clubs. He had some success, but he still wanted to be like his idols. With this in mind, Bon Jovi formed a band. The band’s name was “Atlantic City”. Bon Jovi was also in other bands such as: “The…

Some of these achievements include continuing his journey of bettering the lives of his people despite his own family being murdered when he was only twenty-nine (27). Geronimo fully embodies the hard-working and no excuses attitude that many Americans strive for. Geronimo in many ways possesses the same moral code and ideas that we value and admire today. Consider when Geronimo leads his group of warriors against United States troops despite running out of supplies, and being forced to fight…

8th and 9th day of February 2011 my life was shattered, never to be built up in the same form again. This story is not to gain your sympathy or pity. This is simply a story about what made me who I am today. I went to sleep that night never realizing when I woke up my life would forever be missing something. I woke up to the noise of men talking. I was scared that someone was in the house. I went to see what was going on. I saw my nana and mom crying. I saw medics come in the door. Chaos. I was…

saying we should go to the doctor bright and early in the morning because there were white, clammy spots deep in the back of my throat that should not be there. The worst was yet to come. The next morning came around and my mom took me to the hospital. When we got there, we off course had to check in at the front desk. After that we sat in the clinic waiting room watching kids play with monster trucks and blocks…

going in the kitchen to get coffee. I heard a silent groan and I got scared. I went and checked what it was and I saw a man who looked like he got burnt. So I slowly went back in my room and woke up my husband Junior. When I woke him up he was confused on why I was so scared. That’s when he sat up and asked me what happened. I froze in a dead because I was too scared. Then I started stuttering because I was trying to explain it. “I I I saw a guy in our backyard and he he looked like he got…

homework and not trying to get ahead on anything, but I just convinced myself against this theory because I just wanted to play my game. I played until about midnight and forced myself to bed. When I woke I was a mess,…

I heard my stomach growl. Grrrrrr… I really need to get something to eat. I started wandering towards a cafeteria. When I got there, there wasn’t anything edible.. At this point, my stomach started eating itself. After a few moments on the floor starving, I heard a rattle behind me. I looked up and I saw some nachos on the table under the light. “Huh, that’s not a trap…

It hurt trying to get up from my groggy sleep. When I felt a sharp pain at my throat I suddenly remembered why I was there. I panicked, trying to get at my throat to protect it as I opened my eyes. I wasn’t able to see well but I could see enough of the man standing over me with bloody hands and a knife. “The anesthesia is wearing off! Inject 12 more cc into her IV.” the man yelled. I fought against my restraints on my wrists. I made one last feeble animal noise before I was unconscious again.…

I lied face down on the bed, waiting for the next memory that awaits me. The Giver put his hands on my back. Before I could take breath, I was transported into another memory. I suddenly felt warmer. I was not wearing a shirt, and my pants only touched my knees. I was bare. I wasn’t naked, but it still felt like it was against the rules to be wearing these ridiculous shorts. I look down at my bare feet to see a warm, cool feeling of something on them. The brown, grainy ground stretched for…
