CHAPTER THREE Chris felt his stomach drop and his head spin. He tried to scream but the fall stole any sound. He knew no one could survive this fall. He saw Rose down below him. He clamped his eyes shut. The fall continued. Suddenly he felt himself slow down. His skin tickled and burned. His lips went dry and his hands numb. The heat increased as they went farther down. Their descent slowed and the tickling stopped. Finally‚ Chris felt his feet touch ground and heaved

My eyes widened as incoherent words spilled out of my mouth‚ begging‚ "please‚ don’t shoot! It ain’t loaded!" but to no avail. I saw Dally go down‚ a crumpled heap; desperate‚ violent‚ and suffering‚ the way every hoodlum went out‚ just the way I had always hoped that Dallas could avoid. I could hear Two-Bit’s voice next to me‚ wild and panicked‚ but I couldn’t make out the words. I felt like I couldn’t move. Suddenly‚ I saw Ponyboy swaying unsteadily on his feet before he hit the ground with a

(Y/N) let out a sob that was more out of relief and a little bit out of grief for her dead sister to be honest. "So‚ we’re safe? We’re- we’re okay? Sweet Jesus‚ I-" John stuttered feeling his knees shaking. Betrayed by his own legs‚ he stumbled backwards and rested his whole body on the wall beside Victoria’s painting‚ taking a good look at the

"No‚" Aiden cries to himself. Hugging his knees to his chest‚ sea salt continued rolling out his tear glands. He hurls the book into the air— Vance’s diary he received the day before yesterday — he left it on the floor and put his attention elsewhere. Scanning the white walls that proceeded to drive him crazy‚ the sweat-drenched sheets‚ and the canopy which represented his sadness were his eyes. Barraging in his mind like a stampede were images; memories. Buzzing in his ears were words and regrets

Ami built the evening fire to a roaring inferno‚ and as the bright orange flames filled the summit‚ licking with vigour at the darkening sky‚ the shadows danced like nymphs on the stone walls in a frenetic display. Soon‚ the fires would recede‚ leaving behind a bed of molten-red embers. Their invitingly warm glow would safeguard against the savage chill of the Arthe night. Her father and Umonakalisi had not strayed from the summit since their earlier discussion‚ and it seemed they would not be returning

In "Happy Endings"‚ Margaret Atwood uses satire to mock the idea that happy endings actually exist. Atwood is trying to prove the point that the ending will always be the same‚ therefore it is not important. What is important is the quest to reach the end.

PART 1 Treating the Pain by Ending a Life is very persuasive in my eyes. The thing that helped to make the essays more creditable is that each essay in chapter 51 started with the background and credentials of the author. One reason I felt that this particular essay persuaded me is because it was told from the point of view of someone who has personally had to make the decision to carry out this act on another human life. The fact and the story that were portrayed in this essay were creditable
