The rain fell down in frigid sheets. Ira Whelan stood alone on the gelid deck that was once the Petersburg train station. Now all that remained of the once bustling establishment was the foundation of a prodigious building, and the sooty frozen planks that lay under him. It was winter in West Virginia, and it was the first one after the war’s end. If Ira would’ve had shoes, perhaps the cold weather wouldn’t have bothered him so considerably.
A ran through the white cold streets and stopped a meter away from the two. He slowly turned to meet my eyes. He seemed like any other man you’ll see in the streets gifted with a charming face, but I felt an unknown terror all over my body. His eyes were cold blooded as if he had bare handed killed millions at one point. I soon noticed that the pure alabaster snow turned red, directing my attentions towards the woman.
“Lets finish getting our revenge.” They walked out of the door and into the dark snowy night. The beam of light from their flashlights sliced through the shadowy forest. They followed the trail of blood, continuing on through the wintry night. Suddenly they heard the crunch of walking in snow, coming from ahead.
It felt like a knife was stabbing me right in the leg. I noticed a considerable amount of other campers staring at me as I was laying on the ground in pain. “Ouch! Oh my gosh!” I held my leg as I yelled loudly.
It was a cold breezy morning when I walked outside. Goosebumps cover my body because of excitement and nervousness. It was finally here, opening day for the gun hunt.. Grabbing my blaze orange and unzipping the jacket, I put it on. I grabbed my hat and put it on my head. My dad unhinged the gun case and took my gun out.
The moon sat perched in the sky, looking over the broken road as though with a lamp in hand. A bluish light washed the slums in an eerie cast, and the cracked cobbles of the road ran with a ghostly stream. The hem of a black trench coat flapped softly in the wintry breeze, and two columns of buttons ran the length of its torso, flashing like round obsidian mirrors. The man beneath the coat kept his hands burrowed in his pockets, hiding them from the cold air of the lifeless night.
The 1950’s According to “History.com,” the 1950’s was a very successful time period. During this time, the economy was booming, new cars, houses, and other goods were becoming accessible to larger amounts of people. Aside from the great things occurring during the fifties, it was also a time of “great conflict,” “History. com” stated.
The snow tumbled down, putting out his fire (London 85). The main character, again, was not circumspect of his surroundings. Lastly, the main character was thrown into panic, creating him to make wrong decisions. He planned to run to camp. This plan had one flaw; he lacked endurance (London 90).
The narrator describes the Yukon Territory as 75-degrees below freezing and being a highly treacherous for anyone to travel alone (2). By introducing this hostile environment, London creates tension in the reader as they begin to question the man’s safety in the freezing cold temperatures, After the man falls into the river and starts to freeze to death, he builds a fire in order to survive. As the fire grows and the warmth spreads, the snow on a tree falls, knocking out his fire. Through struggles such as this one, suspense is created due to the severity of the danger the man faces and the risks involved in the
Slender Man told me to do it. Two 12 year old girls from Wisconsin stabbed her friend 19 times in the woods then left there, she crawled to the road and someone called the police when they saw her. When the police asked them why they did it, they just said Slender Man told me to. Those girls are now in jail and even though their story seemed ridiculous, they still stick with it today.
In the United States today, there is a democracy in place with two main political parties presiding over the nation. These two parties are the Democratic (liberal) and Republican (conservative) platforms. Many Americans are registered to vote for one of these two parties. Voting today is standard for all affiliations, where there is a primary, general and then presidential election. The final presidential election has historically consisted of a representative from each of the two main parties, with the 2016 presidential election posing Hillary Clinton (Dem.) against Donald Trump (Rep.).
Setting “Don’t worry Devin.” said my mother. It was draft day and me and my mother were walking underneath the hot sun in Brooklyn, New York. She’s been trying to reassure me that i’ll be drafted as a lottery pick for the past hour and a half. I left Kentucky in my freshman year in hopes of becoming an NBA player. Although, being a “one and done” is frowned upon, sometimes it’s the only option you have to take care of your family.
I have to be circumspect as I began to come across houses and colonists. When I found a log hidden in the darkness and partly lighted by the moon, I sat down to catch my breathe. As I look up I see a town lit up in the night. I run to the light, my toes feeling completely frozen. As I breathe I can see my breath flow through the air.
I made my first touchdown after like five minutes of attempting to figure out how to play this. I don 't know how boys appreciate this game, to me it 's too difficult to understand and it 's simply not girl material. Presently I know why I was so irritated with Luke 's football games, I don 't understand what the heck is going on. That touchdown that I recently made, that was just lucky and it probably won 't happen
December 1986 as families prepared for the holidays of gift giving and traveling to see love ones I embarked upon a journey in my life that I never saw coming nor could have ever imagined. I along with my family were in preparations for the holidays and on a Friday evening as we started out for the mall to finish up last-minute shopping. First there was one stop we needed to make and that was at the barbershop. My older brother had gotten a job there running errands, answering phones, cleaning up, and keeping track of customers in order as they came in. Upon learning that the family was going shopping he immediately quit his job on the spot.
