The Outsiders Sequel When I turned in my essay, my English teacher looked at my work in surprise. He flipped through my 7 pages of writing, and then set it on his desk.

Another day was so much like the one before, and the many before that. He walked the house and grounds, slowly, letting time pass as it must. Alone, present but not present, for can one truly be there if no one knows of it? Like the saying he’d heard more than once over the unmeasured time of his existence: If a tree falls in the forest but no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound? He ambled through the back yard, pausing under the tree from which he’d been hanged, cursing his tormentors, vowing to haunt them for all time.
He arrived at this somewhat hidden beach where big rocks blocked part of the sandy shore to the residents living above, and then flapped his towel down upon the, egg shell colored, sand. With no one around, he quickly took his pants and underwear off right there on that shoreline! He then grabbed his blue board shorts and slipped into them. Many men in Southern California can be pretty bold when they believe no one is watching. They’ll change into or out of swim wear pretty much in the open.
As a five year-old, I was convinced first grade would be the end of me. Growing up, I never enjoyed school and I figured that it would be best if I did not attend. That first morning, I was determined I would not be sent to school, or at least not go down without a fight. As I kicked and fought, I fancied myself a fearless warrior, though of course, even the best knight will be defeated and as expected, I lost the battle.
The Counsel’s Elders poured into the feeble balcony of the Great Hall; each straggled shuffle contributed to an apathetic rainstorm of footsteps, only to be muffled by a thunderous roar as they sat down. Lazy floodlights panned over the row of grey-hooded figures. Below the Elders, a young man knelt within a painted circle, tears streaming across his face. A guttural chant began to cut into the stale air like a sickle: “Born by the Sins of Gemini, we await the humble sacrifice . . .” * * * * *

Journal School Started this week. I have been asking myself if I made the right decision coming back to VC. My first quarter attending VC, I felt like I had stepped back into high school. I witnessed the disrespect the students showed toward some of the teachers.
It was about to be midnight and Bilbo was cold and wet from the river. Bilbo found a fire in a nearby village and sat down next to it to get warm and dry. The village looked like any normal village.

“The girl was running. Running for her life, in the hope of finding a safe haven for her and her family. She never looks back, the only indication her father was still behind her was his ragged breathing above her head, forming puffs of air in this cold morning. She suddenly stumbles on a root, but her mother secures her fall with a small wisp of air. They lock hands, all three of them, and continue pushing themselves, desperately trying to find the others they lost on the way.
