Where I'm Calling From

only have limited time to figure out where I am, or else something bad is going to happen, I just know it. ‘How did I end up here?’ I think to myself. I cannot remember anything. The room is pitch black. I warily feel my surroundings, cautious of what is around me. ‘How did I end up here?’ I reiterate. Suddenly the room lights up and a scrawny man with a dour disposition appears. His gaping eyes stare blankly at me. “What’s your problem?” I ask. No response from the man. “Can you at least tell…

primarily by, my parents. As far back as I can remember I have been taught what 's right and what’s wrong and those memories are from my parents. Growing up in my house could be considered rather old fashioned, as we got spankings when we did something wrong. As I’ve matured and been exposed to more difficult moral questions, I’ve seen more and more of my parents in me. From politics, to friends, sometimes when I make judgements I notice just how much of an influence my parents have had on me.…

like that, it is easy for us to say, “if I where in his/her shoes, I would not put with their behavior,” meanwhile we feel this way and are often completely ignorant of the circumstances. Maybe that “dysfunctional” person has a crippling addiction or mental illness, often both go hand in hand. Fortunately for me, I was spared from that environment. However, I have…

catichized mom. “Can I be a robot ?” replied Anthony. Anthony was so excited to trick-or-treat this year. Anthony had been sick for two years because he had Scabies. Scabies are a disease passed on by humans.Fortuitous, the Johnsons got a call from a scientist, Mr. Johnson, Mrs. Johnson’s ex-husband. He was a successful scientist, so the Johnsons didn’t worry about anything. He said there was a cure just for him. This year, he was delighted. Anthony lived on Elmago Street,…

reasons its not my top choice. The good thing about this car is that it has the lowest miles of the 3 cars, which could be why it costs more, but it has 85,886 miles. This car also seems to have the least amount of features, which is a problem because I’m looking for a car that has a decent abundance of the features that are on my list. Auto trader has the city mileage listed as 23 and highway at 31, so I would say this car gets good mileage on both the highway and city for what I would need it…

If people understand this idea, then they can work to prevent it from happening as much. Not as many people would find the need to use the weaknesses and mistakes of others for personal benefit. This idea can appear as bullying, but it’s more than that. Today, people take advantage of mistakes made by other people. Journalists…

“You can’t take care of others if you can’t take care of yourself”? In The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger, Holden Caulfield would benefit from applying this expression to his life. Holden wants to be a “catcher” that prevents children from falling off the cliff of innocence and into adulthood. However, Holden has many issues of his own that thwart him from living a normal, happy life. Although Holden expresses how much he wants to care for others, he should take care of himself first…

“Partisan” Hello, I'm Justin, and I have a story to tell you. It's 1939, German Jews like me had suffered through Kristallnacht or Night of the Broken Glass. My street glistens and shimmers with sharp shards of fractured windows; charred buildings reduced to ashes due to the red, rolling flames that engulfed them last night. Orphaned children were forced out on the street after the Nazis took their parents. Houses looked bleak with bullet holes and abandoned, like as if people had left…

I had never been so sick in all my 28 years, and yet the whole time I was happy, still scared, excited and nervous but more than anything happy. I remember worrying a lot and calling Dr. Nelson to ask questions about baby development. He was always so nonchalant, like he had babies every day. He always was able to get me in if I need a little reassuring that things were going as they should. I don’t know how it’s possible but…
