Running Water Looked Back
1,333 words
Wiping the sweat from my brow I called a halt to
the crew. Phil and I dumped our packs and found a
comfy boulder to rest on. I looked back to where
the last guys were coming from back down the
trail. They had stopped talking a while back and
marched slowly along the dirt trail. Phil produced
an energy-bar hed saved from breakfast and began
to munch on it as I drained another water bottle.
After the refreshing drink I laid back against the
rock and stared up at the pine trees. But a moment
later,...

Dont Care One Thing
1,773 words
The warm sensation rushed from my body as my cover
was ripped away from my skin. The flourish of the
music pouring from the radio combined with the
chants fleeing from my mothers mouth swelled in my
ears, sending that aggravating signal to the brain
that it was time to wake up. My body managed to
turn despite the complete lack of motion. I
reached for the place that my cover had resided,
finding nothing but my left leg. Screams of my
name swept through my head, consuming the islands
of sleep wit...

Made Me Realize Ethnic Background

CHINK! ! ! ! Yeah... that's right look at us with
those china eyes! Go back to where you belong!"
Those words will forever ring in my ears. I was
standing in line for lunch while talking to a
friend while a couple of boys, fourth and fifth
graders, were making fun of the only Asian girl in
the school, me, a lonely kindergarten. I will
never forget that moment when I realized that I
was different. Growing up in a predominantly white
community, I had never thought of the issue of
race as a child. ...

You could call me a shop-a-hold, as most of my
friends do, but I call myself a lover of fashion.
Sitting in my room, I look in my closet at all my
belongings and wonder what else I want to buy.
Abercrombie, Guess, J Crew, Armani Exchange, Ralph
Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, and Banana Republic are
just a few of the name-brand items that clutter my
room. And I want more. I've never stopped to
question whether I'm getting what I'm paying for,
though I've always been a "smart" shopper, a sale
shopper. Bu...

Holding Her Hand Mom And John Remember

I remember the day she died as if it had happened
yesterday. She died when I was thirteen. That was
seven... no eight years ago. It was summer and hot
outside. She used to go out on days like that. She
used to take her car, go to the public pool and
swim her twenty lines. She was fast. I never had a
chance to keep up with her even though I wasn't
bad either. She loved swimming. But that day she
was lying in a hospital-bed in my sister's
bedroom. My sister had to move to the basement
because of h...

Problems Of Medieval Europe

The setting: Medieval Europe. The problem: the
pope is living in Avignon, under strict control

standard of living is very low, and much of this
is blamed on religion. Many people would like to

Opening Chapter Hot Air
1,376 words
A dictionary defines the word addictive as being:
wholly devoted to something, a slave to another
and in a state of wanting more. Ian McEwan claimed
that he wanted to write an opening chapter that
had the same effect as a highly addictive drug. In
my opinion he has achieved in doing this. At the
end of chapter one the reader is left needing more
information about the characters introduced and
what tragedy actually occurred. McEwan took the
definition, addictive, and wrote the opening
chapter, ne...

Igneous Rocks Earths Surface

Out of the three different types of rocks, igneous
rocks are by far the most abundant rock on the
earths surface. From the oceans to the mountains,
you will find igneous rocks everywhere and it is
easy to see why. Igneous rocks are a result of
solidified magma. Magma is found underneath the
earths surface all over. Mountains are usually
volcanoes; either extinct, dormant or active.

Tinkerbell Perfume Mothers Lap Father

My Closet I sat quietly on the couch next to my
father. His short muscular arm extended over my
head as if to protect his little girl. His fingers
got lost in my strands of hair, as I yanked my
head forward as if to signal I did not want him to
play with my hair. My new baby doll with big
blonde ringlets and skin that smelled like a babys
skin after it has just been powdered, rested in my

human beings, he loves his lovers more than nature

over nature. Already from the titles of the poems,
