Days like this when my body craved the shore. The waves lapped against the shoreline creating an intricate pattern along the smooth‚ off white sand. The sun shone off the rippling water‚ its golden light warped and distorted in the azure‚ glassy waves. Big‚ soft‚ puffy clouds floated over the blue skies making irregular shapes. The sight of the sky gave me a warm feeling inside. My troubles‚ my worries and my concerns‚ everything was momentarily forgotten as I looked out into the swaying great Australia

Here I was‚ the roar of the waves so loud and powerful that it could block out one’s thoughts. Faces all around me‚ a sternness visible like none other seen before. The waves crashed over the top of our landing craft‚ by now the cloth of every man was soaked through‚ but there was a bigger problem… The gunfire started‚ the cracking of gunfire that has become so normal in these times‚ the ambience that man had become used to.

The sun was glistening on the ocean as I glided in. Thinking to myself that this was the best vacation a fourth grader could have‚ I observed the ripples as I inhaled the sweet scent of the refreshing water.

Noticing the splashes of the waves more than anything‚ I never became fully aware about how far

As I pull up the old degraded driveway‚ the old‚ abandoned asylum stands in front of me. I stop my car and take a deep breath before getting out. I slide out of the car‚ and walk up to the large wooden pine door. I take another deep breath‚ looking for fresh air‚ but the musty odor of the decaying asylum suffocates me. My heart is pounding in my chest as I place my hands on the door‚ waiting to push it open. The old door feels rough under my soft hands. As I tough the door‚ I imagine all of the

Dr. Wagner May 6‚ 2008 Religion 101 The Devil’s Playground Review This was sincerely the biggest eye opening independent film that I have ever seen. I know absolutely nothing about the Amish faith or people as I have never been exposed to them. Their strict way of life is backed by a very close knit family and strong religious beliefs.
