We all gave out a collective groan as we came out of the portal. As I stood a wave of nausea hit me. I bent over and vomited in a metal bucket that came through with the barn. I could see others doing the same thing off to the side. The barn transported us to the area shown in The Folder. A beautiful blue stream snaked through the lush‚ vibrant green forest. We stood on a small dirt path that sliced through the woods. The trail seemed well traveled and the thousands of feet compacted it. In the trees

One way that Eric Walters was able to confirm relationships are important to a person’s life was through the interaction between Jed and the injured eagle he found. Earlier in the story‚ Jed explains to the reader how much eagle’s mean to him and to his Tsimshian culture. “ An eagle is more than a bird‚ it’s part of our heritage and history” (Walters 47). So‚ naturally‚ when Jed noticed a bullet hole through its body‚ he felt the obligation to nurse it back to full health. During this time‚ Jed became

Antigone believes her actions to be just‚ so it is nothing short of a requirement for her to support them‚ no matter the unpopularity it may bring." He responded one must obey the law‚ with no special permission or treatment granted to anyone regardless of status (497-99‚ 539-40). "The law must be observed‚" I agreed

Inside the camper van‚ there was no room to swing a cat‚ or even a dog. Not that Clog wanted swinging‚ no‚ thank you‚ very much‚ since he was perfectly content snuggled in Clemmie’s arms. And as for Clemmie‚ she felt cosy and dry. As snug as a bug‚ in a rug‚ with a pug who wanted a hug. Inside the van‚ it was a tight fit‚ yet all five of them managed to squeeze onto the padded benches in the back. At the end of the bench sat Mosaic‚ because Doctor Pax had put him in charge of opening the trunk.

From the coldest winter nights where she would sit outside until three in the morning on the phone with me to the time you wrote me poems to cheer me up‚ you were always there for me. Our friendship last one year‚ nine months‚ and seventeen days‚ and through all that time‚ I had never cared for someone as much as I did for you. Even today‚ you are beautiful.

I think it must have been being poor that has made me love philosophy because I can more easily see how all of our lives are so short that it becomes absurd to care about many material things.

He’d never felt so alive. The dance studio that he’d spent most of his time in as a wide eyed five year old in his first pair of tap shoes was akin to his home. In fact‚ it felt more like home than his actual home‚ where his dad often teased him about his ’prancing around the stage like a bloody pony’ but he knew that his dad preferred him doing this - his passion - than on the streets at ten o’clock at night smoking glue or sniffing weed. He’d never try those. For one‚ his mother would probably

The opportunity was an open door to human trafficking and a closed one to any reality she had before entering this world. Angela’s story may be as tragic as it gets‚ but it’s more than that. Her constitutional right was ripped away from her hands when she was forced to work for a family that neglected her basic needs for living. Many people couldn’t imagine a world that does not implement
