During the breakfast, Smith received a telegram from his childhood estate in Boston. The telegram was from his mother’s staff saying she had fallen critically ill and requesting his immediate return. Smith quickly went to the lobby and asked when the next train to Boston was. Hearing that it wasn’t until 6 am the next morning, Smith began feeling helpless and decided to retire to his third story room. While in the elevator, he lit a cigarette to calm his nerves, not knowing that the pinewood walls had been recently polished. Smith feeling very anxious about his mother’s condition fumbled with his cigarette, and caught it against the wall of the elevator. The freshly polished wood went up in flames at nearly 11 am. Smith and the elevator attendant put forth their best effort to put out the fire but to no avail. Neither survived. The flames soon spread from the elevator shaft to the rest of the Hotel. Only the dining room was left…
On that horrid day in March a fire was born in a rag bin. It is said that the manager attempted to extinguish the fire with a hose, but the hose was rusted and dry rotted. During the panic, all the workers tried to leave by the elevator, but it could only hold twelve people. Some jumped from the windows, and then others fled down the stairwell, only to find that the door was locked. The fire was over within eighteen…
(Laughing in an insane manner, HAPPY is heading towards the edge of a stage. The sound of train is very loud, yet the laughter still resounds. The only thing left on the stage is the bouquet, lying carelessly on the ground. As the train is heard to be leaving, the lights…
The passengers sat silent. Some may have been thinking they could have prevented this tragedy if only they interfered and not worried about embarrassment. The gentleman ultimately feels guilty because if he had not pulled the cord, maybe Samuel would still be alive. The mother's who sent their four sons off on a train without supervision may feel responsible also.…
“I, with a number of other girls, was in the dressing room on the eighth floor of the Asch Building, in Washington Place, at 4.40 o’clock on the afternoon of Saturday, March 25, when I heard somebody cry ‘Fire!’” Unlike those on the ninth and tenth floors (the other two floors that our factory, the Triangle Waist Company, occupied), I did not climb out of exterior windows in desperation; I was kindly shown to a window in a crash door that I could fit through in order to climb downstairs. Instead of passing through the flames as many of my coworkers had to endure, I had the unique opportunity to run from the flames and to outrun the flames. Whereas many of my coworkers were jumping down from eighty and ninety feet in desperate need of a miracle,…

Rainsford jumped up from the sand and ran to the water. “A ship!”, he cried. All off the men were frantically waving the ship down. It was a relief when the ship started towards the shore of the tiny island to rescue them. The ship had floated up to the island, and the angels who saved them got off and walked over to the group. As soon as the two men got off the ship Rainsford recognized his saviors as none other than Whitney and the captain. “Rainsford, is that you?” Whitney yelled over the loud waves. Rainsford and the crew ran towards the ship and Whitney gratefully. “Whitney,” Rainsford started, “I promise I’ll tell you everything, but for now I would just like to go home.” With those words the men piled onto the small boat and…

His chest sunk down, and for a moment the man resigned his fate into the hands of what seemed like a boulder on his back. However, an instinct reared him back up, discarding the burden off of him into the cold, hard ground which he moved upon. The man turned to face his assailant, and saw a small boy, whose eyes widened. The man rose to his knees with what little strength he possessed and began to yell at the kid, only it came out sounding like a low, horrible groan. As the man shook his fist, the boy, terrified, ran…
Ever since school was created it had always been important to dress nicely and appropriately for and better learning environment. Most schools require uniforms to help this issue. But schools that don’t have uniforms usually have dress codes instead. Schools usually bans tank tops or shorts because they are seen as inappropriate. But there are dress codes in many school that can be seen as sexist and shames mostly girls for it.…
Are they too tight, or are they too short? Some parents and students have these concerns about dress codes at local schools. School dress codes appear to be hinderers of self-expression. Other may believe they are also necessary for school environments. I believe that it would be beneficial for our schools to adopt dress codes. Although others may argue that this action would restrict the student’s freedom of self-expression, I do not agree. The dress codes prepare students for their futures, lower bullying, and don't cause distractions in the school environment.…
My brothers and I were holding each other tight, trying our best not to think of the events of just hours before. We focused on everything around us—the little warmth in our bodies, the sound of the train running over the hard tracks of the railroad, the rough floor of the train. We were quiet, making no noise. By some kind of miracle, my youngest brother, Adam, was sound asleep in my arms. The brother closest to my age, Levi, was just sitting there, staring straight ahead. We stayed like this, inaudible, until the train screeched to a halt.…
The phrase above is the school’s ethos and was inspired following collaboration with the children, staff and governors of the school; with all believing and accepting they have an equal part to play in ensuring all children have a right to quality first teaching.
