Number of Words: 561 / Number of Pages: 3
... luckily I brought some herbal tea to
help soothe my stomach. Anyway, I began to search the ground around the body
hoping to find some clues. I noticed a gold bracelet on the ground near the
body, and it read Montrsor. I decided to do a little more research on this man.
I went to the station and asked the secretary to show me the file on any person
missing for more than 20 years. The list only had about five people on it with
a brief description. There was a man by the name of Fortunato on it who has

The Inauguration
Number of Words: 289 / Number of Pages: 2
... conflict is turning against us, threatening to destroy all that we
have accomplished. It is time for us as nations and as individuals to set
aside our long-standing feuds and unite.
The tides of an unwinnable war are upon us and we must seek refuge upon
higher ground lest we be swept away by the flood. The confederacy is no
more. Whatever semblance of unity and protection it once provided is a
phantom - a memory. With our enemies left unchecked, whom will you turn to
for protection?
The devastation brought by the alien invaders is self-evident. We have seen
our homes and communities destro ...

Personal Writing: Devon
Number of Words: 576 / Number of Pages: 3
... shop
about 3 times a week and tries to meet someone new every time he goes. He
is really nice and it's not hard for him to make friends. Almost everyone
in the shop know who he is. If he sees someone he doesn't know he'll go up
and talk to them.
Devon told me why he dressed the way he does, "I do it to show
people that everyone is different and to like them for who they are."
Devon does not take a look at anybody and judge them for that one look.
When he meets someone he automatically likes them, once he gets to know
them he makes his decision not to like them if that's the case. As Devon
lit up a ...

... because he will
talk about anyone and not care. Talking about their mortgage helps them to stay
together by agreeing with one another. Whenever the topic comes up, their moods
totally change and even though they might not know it; they act as if paying
their mortgage is their favorite thing to discuss.
"WILLY: `Well, that's a great thing. To weather a twenty-five year
mortgage is ------ .'
LINDA: `It's and accomplishment.' (73). When they are almost done paying
they are very happy and even Willy makes a comment; but he stops himself from
expressing his true feelings. Why? Why does Wil ...

Personal Writing: College
Number of Words: 502 / Number of Pages: 2
... Well, now a decision really had to be made; it
was time for me to make a choice.
My parents told me to think about other colleges and to think about
other things to do instead of college, but I knew that < > was right for me.
They often suggested that I go to community college for a semester or two and
make sure that I was doing something that I wanted to do. I had attended the
community college in my area during my last year in high school to take some
extra courses, and I truly detested the place. I really did not want to go
anywhere but < >.
So I petitioned for readmission to a new dep ...

A Lesson From Oliver
Number of Words: 13164 / Number of Pages: 48
... from those "early-birds" of epigram fame.
And then would come the most striking sensation of all: the smell of fresh
dew on the grass - I think the terms "exhilarating" and "intoxicating" were
coined by someone who'd just taken their first breath of northern morning
air (though they likely did so between 6 and 7 a.m. when one is better

a.m.).
All these sensations I can fully appreciate only now, in retrospect
(since at this moment I assure you it is n ...

... was also a friend of mine. Of the three
gentlemen that approached us, two were hispanic males that appeared to be over
21 and the other was a caucasian male that appeared over 21, although I couldn't
be sure. Although I didn't want to make any judgements about them, they looked
as if they were poorly dressed and over 21. So I deduced that they were in a
gang or they were drug dealers, high school dropouts, etc.;.

my African-American fr ...

Personal Writing: Fragment - Changes In Life
Number of Words: 1149 / Number of Pages: 5
... these can change you both physically and mentally for the rest of your
life depending on the severity of the situation.
In early August of `96 my life at home became a living nightmare. I
don't really know what it was that started this thing between me and my
parents but I do remember that they were always doing anything they could
to just annoy me. I doubt this was intentional but at the time it seemed
that it was. They would find any excuse to yell or blame me for things
that didn't even involve me and they wouldn't listen to anything I had to
say at all. They were right and I was wrong, that's ...
