The feeling of when I was in 7th grade, and i had to write an essay, and didn't even know what the word essay meant, i just summarized about the story, and got a horrible grade.Since that day, I have been able to write essays that aren't just summaries, but actually make connections with outside sources. also since that day, i have become strong in writing creative pieces.

Narrative From Rosey's Postition

I wish I would've followed Gretchen to her house, I really don't want to go home, but if I don't, my sister will be alone with my dad for the entire night. Maybe I should tell someone about this at school, I can't handle it much longer… the abuse is getting more severe, and when the abuse stops my dad leaves us home for hours and hours, sometimes even a few days, and when he comes home he is drunk, and starts abusing us even more.

Commercials

Most come without warning

They will wait, they will wait until you are vulnerable

Just sitting on the couch watching, and then it pounces

Completely unexpected, interrupting your enjoyment

Hatred and disbelief have risen

You try to calm down by turning the channel

But they keep invading your screen

Quick, merciless, and pure evil

The Wrath of the Commercials is inevitable.

Perfection Isn't Perfect

Picture a perfect world, now imagine everyone in that world exactly the same. You're probably asking yourself "how could everyone be exactly the same? ", well, in a short story called "Harrison Bergeron" by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. everyone is handicapped making everyone equal, meaning they cannot think because they have sensors in their ears, and weights on their arms and legs so they're not too strong. The main lesson in Kurt Vonnegut's story is that perfection isn't perfect.

How would you feel if every 20 seconds you heard blaring sounds that make you unable to think, not only would it be annoying to you, but to others who don’t have it they would be getting mad because you don’t know what they’re talking about. Already the flaws are showing, in this oh-so perfect plan. You know how there are those people who are huge and muscular on the football teams and are always scoring touchdowns, well in this ‘perfect’ world there are no all-stars, because that would be unjust.

You're probably thinking "Wow this future is messed up, and there is almost no hope for everyone." Well there is hope, and it comes in the form of a 14 year old boy named Harrison Bergeron. When Harrison makes his first entrance, everyone is so shocked because they are always surrounded by 'normal' people, so they over exaggerate how 'handicapped' he is. "The rest of Harrison's appearance was Halloween and hardware. Nobody had ever born heavier handicaps. He had outgrown hindrances faster than the H-G men could think them up. Instead of a little ear radio for a mental handicap, he wore a tremendous pair of earphones, and spectacles with thick wavy lenses. The spectacles were intended to make him not only half blind, but to give him whanging headaches besides.", said someone who was obviously over exaggerating at the sight of Bergeron.

Perfection isn't perfect, so as humans, making efforts to making everyone equal and perfect, isn't such a good idea, because our future might just end up like Harrison Bergeron's. 

Proverbs from Proverbs

18:21     Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

2:20-22     Thus you may walk in the way of good men, and keep to the paths of the just. For the upright will dwell in the land, the honest will remain in it; But the wicked will be cut off from the land, the faitless will be rooted out of it.

3:13     Happy the man who finds wisdom, the man who gains understanding!

4:14-15     The path of the wicked enter not, walk not on the way of evil men; Shun it, cross it not, turn aside from it and pass on.

9:12     If you are wise, it is to your own advantage; and if you are arrogant, you alone shall bear it.

One step at a time

Everyone is scared of something, maybe it's snakes, spiders, birds, or even the dark.

It Started of as any other weekend coming home from school, eating, playing Playstation 3 with my brother until late at night. It happened around 11 P.M., my stomach growled and barked for food. No big deal, if you're hungry go get some food right? Well, not for me, I had to go into the darkest part of my house to get some food.. The Kitchen.

The kitchen isn't the problem, it's the complete darkness that scares me. Demons and monsters could be lurking around my living room, stairs, and even my kitchen. The only thing that could stop the beast was the pure light that came from the early rising sun, or simply turning on all the lights down stairs.

"H-h-hey Michael want to get something to eat downstairs?"

"No"

Great now I have to go down there by myself. Just sprint down there and turn the lights on.  Alright, I'm gonna' go now, I have to. But it's so freakin' dark! I can do this!  God please protect me…..please protect me…please protect me.

In the end I made it down stairs, and ran back up in a total of 5 seconds while holding my breath. Next time I'll have to conquer the basement, one step at a time.( That's supposed to be funny…. Get it basement …stairs….)

The Fatal Flaw

    

 

 In life flaws are inevitable;  each and every person has one major flaw. In the story "To Build A Fire", a young man has a major flaw; ignorance, which proves to be fatal.

     Ignorance is when you lack education or knowledge, meaning your not very smart, or you don't think things all the way through. In "To Build A Fire" a man sets of on a journey with nothing but his dog and his lunch, this man is oblivious of the fact that it is below -75°F, and before he left an elderly man said not to travel outside in this weather, and if he did to bring someone with him. However, this man did neither of the things, and this is just the first appearance of this man's ignorance. Next the man faces several obstacles which include small layers of ice, which he falls in, and it probably isn’t a good thing to have a soaking wet foot while it's freezing outside and your in the middle of no where, after this the man starts to notice it's kind of a bad thing to have a wet foot so he builds a fire. " It was his own fault, or rather his mistake. He should not have built the fire under the spruce tree. He should have built in in the open. But it had bee easier to pull the twigs from the brush and drop them directly over the fire….. It grew like an avalanche, and it descended without warning upon the man and the fire, and the fire was blotted out!". This quote from "To Build A Fire" on page 138 was meant to show the man's ignorance again; going back to the definition,  the man didn't think all the way through and to built a fire, but forgot about the tree, due to that, this man met his end.

     The man's tragic flaw was ignorance, many others are ignorant just like him, however not many have died because of it, unlike this man .No matter what you do, you will always have a flaw, it's like death, inevitable.

Oranges

Do you know where oranges come from? Of course you do, Florida! HAHA! Just kidding oranges are grown from Orange Mills in North Dakota, where they are brutally tortured, mentally abused, and  constantly harassed. Orange Mills are basically mass producing  orange company's who want lots of money. The main Orange Mill is called Mr. Orange Inc. where they hold around 15 to 20 oranges in a 2x2 cage and aren't fed or given water for several weeks, that is until they make babies. Oranges are very similar to humans, they need water, and they are omnivores meaning they eat meat and other foods, however their mating process is different and most oranges are viscous cannibals. The oranges mating process  starts with one of the oranges splitting it's self in half and waiting for a human/mill employee to dump a pile of wax worms on top of them. Once this process has begun, the worms grow up and explode leaving a white skin around the weak insides, about 6 weeks later the orange yet again splits itself in half and produces a baby orange better known as a Tangerine. About 3-7 weeks later, the tangerine opens its eyes and learns survival instincts from it parents, like how to find food, how to defend itself from its one and only predator, the Predator shown in the movies Predator, Predator 2, and Predators, the last thing the orange needs to learn is that apples and bananas are ruthless orange killers .

2076 (Work in progress)

This piece was inspired by The Persistent of Memory.

December 31, 2076. We thought Winter would finally bring cold nice whether. We thought Wrong.

Michael told us that there were things called 'Seasons'. There was summer; the hottest one, spring; where there was something called 'Rain', fall; when it starts to get cold and 'leaves' would fall of trees, and the last one, winter; the absolute coldest 'season', and it produced something from the sky called… 'snow'

Michael, was the oldest member in the clan, he had to be at least 75 years old. He would tell us wonderful things about the past, such as 'seasons', cold air dispensers called 'air conditioners', and things falling from the sky to quench your thirst.

"Elder Michael, when is this winter coming?" my brother John asked.

"I have waited 65 years for a single drop of rain, or a cool breeze." Michael replied. "This year neither happened, I don't think so. We should still keep our heads up though."

John's face showed no emotion but disappointment. I grabbed him by the shoulder and said "Do not worry little brother, there is still hope."

I woke up the next morning from several rambunctious noises. I don't even think about putting my parka on. When I got outside, there didn't seem to be anything to be so joyful about. "Hey!!! You there!What's going on!!!"

"The temperature!!"

"What about the temperature?"

"Its-It's 85°"

I stood there with my mouth wide open "….eigh-eighty de-degrees"

"This reminds me of the 'old times'" said Michael.

"I Knew you were wrong old man!" shouted John in glee. Me and Elder Michael stood staring at my brother.

Next week I was doing the usual hunting route, when I saw a small pond, and small patches of green grass around it, so I rushed back to the village and shouted "WATER!" and everybody went crazy.

Final Days

 After today there will only be 5 more days, we are in the final week. Times are tough, no food, countries going to war just for a drop of water, and sickness all over, these are the troubles we must go through everyday. There is little hope of anyone surviving the final day, because almost all of us will have already died in the few days before it. Some of the survivors say there is a place north of Springfield that is completely untouched by these fatal disasters. Tomorrow me and my family will embark on the great journey up north. 

Five Days Left

So far the results are very displeasing. Everywhere we go it's the same thing. "Nashville, Tennessee Population-13. Welcome to Columbus Ohio Population-7". My wife is starting to tell me there is no hope, but when she tells me things like that I just say "There is always light in the darkest of places." Even after I tell my wife this I still doubt that there is a place completely untouched.

Four Days Left

We've made it past Springfield, things are looking a bit better, because we are starting to see little patches of yellow grass. In the old world, it means nothing, but unfortunately things changed, things got worse, and everything died. It all started when the Russians took over all of Asia, Russia then decided to not only take over Asia, but the world.

Three Days Left

We're almost there, there is a major problem in this plan of ours, my daughter is getting sick and all of the cities out here are either abandoned or have no medical supplies. If this place is still untouched, there still might be hope that we can survive the final day.

48 Hours Left

It's all a lie. Everything people have told us, are all lies, this place is….. a nightmare. On the outside it looks perfect, but once you see what is done inside, you can't escape. The government is trying to discover a 'cure' for the Second Hydrogen Bomb. This 'Second Hydrogen Bomb' consist of hydrogen sulfide, which is actually made from the human body, but can only be 'detoxified' in small amounts, so the Russians train of thought was to figure out a faster way to 'detoxify' this poison in large quantities, then release the poison to all of the other countries.

39 Hours Left

Escape is not an option. They've taken us in and won't let us out. They already ran several test on my wife, and took my daughter and son away. It's just me alone in this small pure white room, no windows, no doors, I've waited hours, or days, or minutes, I don't know, I can't keep track of time in this place.

36 Hours Left

Time is running out, I can just tell, these "professors" are sweating like crazy, they know just as well as I do, the end is inevitable.

12 Hours Left

I'm the only one left, my wife and kids are dead. No Family. No Friends. No Hope. This is truly the end. Like many predicted, mankind literally destroyed itself. Russians say they have found the cure for the poison, but of course our government is too stubborn to negotiate with our enemies.

5 Minutes Left

If you are reading this, please tell everyone you know about it, tell them, do not make the same mistakes as we have done. If you are reading this, please build a peaceful world, not a ruthless world, do not let there be any wars, although man kind is a destructive being, prevent war as much as you can. In the final hours I have figured out the answer to life, it is-

76 Years Later

"Mommy! Look What I found!"

"What is it Jason?"

"A story!"

"Oh that's just a piece of garbage Jason, throw it away!"

"But maybe-"

"You heard me!"

"O.k. Mom"

Ghost

Your sitting on the couch home alone, and suddenly there is a loud Bang!, what do you do? Mysterious noises, floating orbs, or objects being thrown, and possibly unexplainable shapes or objects, these could all very well be signs of the supernatural. Throughout history there have been millions of ghost stories and encounters. I used to think this was all fake, until I started to experience some of these things.  Hopefully my experience will convince you to open your eyes to see both sides of these “poltergeist” happenings.

            Many people believe that noises are caused by poltergeist, "polter" is German for knock and "Geist" means spirit, meaning this spirit tries to manifest itself by making noises, throwing objects, and even harming animals or humans (Poltergeist). The only experience I thought I had with a poltergeist was just recently, when I was home alone, and I had to go to the bathroom, while I was in the bathroom, it sounded as if someone with long nails was scratching the door, so I tried to think what it could be and I thought, Well maybe my coat just fell off the couch. Turns out, nothing was by the door; my coat was still on the couch.

Of course, there is another side and these people think that these mysterious noises are being caused by electro-magnetic fields in the air or by air drafts, (Poltergeist). Most people believe in this theory only because they haven’t encountered things that others like me have seen, and unfortunately sometimes people automatically assume it’s a poltergeist, or it’s an air draft and it’s not. I can believe this theory as much as the poltergeist theory, because if something falls over, you have to take in a whole bunch of different options like if it was close to the edge, is the air conditioning on, do you have any appliances on near it, and was something leaning on it.

            Although both sides have very interesting facts, I’m sticking with my opinion, I think poltergeist are real, and you can believe what you want to believe, and hopefully this has given you facts about both sides.
