Water Arrow Journal Entry
Chapter One

I was running through a forest with the sounds of our country's foreign enemies at my tail. It was especially dangerous for me because I skipped the armor in battle preparation due to my purpose in combat. I was know as a frate razboinic hydro sagittarius, or a girl warrior water archer, but when a lieutenant needed me they would say “Water Arrow”. My outfit was an olive drab button-up tank top with tan colored shorts. There was a belt with a pouch that was made of strong leather. In the pouch, there were arrows that had feathers hanging off the ends, and tips that looked like obsidian, but they were green. On the belt, there was also a pouch that held a knife made of the green obsidian. Along with the arrows and knife, I

    3 people fell into a ditch as we were running and were slaughtered by the bear. Everyone was panicking and running, and many fell over and were attacked by the bear. My group got away by doing sharp turns and running around trees, but was badly injured. I was horrified and grabbed some leaves to help my group, but only myself, Froog, Googa, Berg, and the dogs lived, and a majority of our group was dead. We walked out of the woods, and buried the bodies.…

    “AAHHHH!” Aelius screamed as he charged at the opposing army. His heavy bronze chest plate banged against his stomach, knocking the wind out Aelius. The too-large helmet crashed the side of his head, leaving a bruise under his thick dark-brown hair. Aelius’s knees gave out, he buckled at the weight of his heavy armour and gear. Everything went black.…

    The next day woke me by the sound of gun fires and our men yelling waking us up. We grabbed our gear and hid behind the rough hills as a shield. It started, as frightened as I already was my friend had just got killed by the blazing bomb. I didn’t know how to feel about it in this rush of survival, so I ran as the next bomb was coming my way. But what could I do about it? I have to protect myself as well. I didn’t put my life at stake I was forced like all the other soldiers. My life is at risk and if I survive I will go home with proud survival guilt. As I had just lost focus of what was happening because I was so shocked thinking this is what war really is; a gun manages to pass through my arm as if I’m not weak already. I fall down to the ground with the scent of dirt southing (soft rustling) through my nose. A blurred vision of my troops fighting was the only other sense apart from the sound of air raid sirens and drones. I can’t believe no one has noticed me, they probably have but don’t…

    The short story “A secret lost in the water“written by Roch Carrier, holds a deeper meaning to it, than one can skim through and see. After carefully reading the story, I believe the theme of this short story is the significance of the water. As the story progresses, we find the talent that the narrator states that only his father mastered, focused on finding water, by using a mere alder branch. When the father passes this talent or gift to his disengaged son, as the son grows old the son forgets his father’s talent. The symbol, Water has several unique meanings to it: one being, not all fathers’s gifts can be passed down to his child, the other being water is crucial to mankind, and finally the gift of the father is lost in the water.…

    It was 115 degrees; the platoon was walking through the middle of the desert each of them with 40 pounds of gear on and an M16A2 rifle. It was summer time in the country of Afghanistan and the temperature was rising. At this point I asked myself what the hell I am doing here and why did I join the United States Army? Right when I was thinking that I felt a tug on my leg and there stood a young boy about 7 years old with only one arm, “Candy,Candy” he asked. Upon speaking with the local villagers we found out that his arm was taken from an improvised explosive device (IED) planted there by the rebeles that wanted to “rid their country of the weak”. That is when it occurred to me that I was here to protect my country from those that think that we are weak.…

    First came the pride, an overwhelming sense of achievement, an accomplishment due to great ambition, but slowly and enduringly surged a world of guilt and confusion, the conscience which I once thought diminished, began to grow, soon defeating the title and its rewards. Slowly the unforgotten memories from that merciless night overcame me and I succumbed to the incessant and horrific images, the bloody dagger, a lifeless corpse. I wash, I scrub, I tear at the flesh on my hands, trying desperately to cleanse myself of the blood. But the filthy witness remains, stained, never to be removed.…
