While the court room feeling stuffy with pressure on his shoulders, Parris was brought back to the night where he walks in the misty forest to find a group of girls dancing around a fire. With every BANG of the gavel he tried to find a way to understand what he had seen.

The papers looked like a journal torn apart, with a cover and a back side. It was crumpled. The papers looked like they were written by someone who had just experienced a death of a family member. He was smart, so he checked with the UV light to see if anything else was written on the paper. He saw things he couldn’t understand, strange figures and drawings.

The two men took a short walk across the perfectly manicured lawn and stopped beneath a large white oak, the thick overhanging canopy of leaves shielding them from the afternoon sun. Perspiration stood out on Booker’s forehead, the damp patches under his arms staining his navy-blue shirt. But his discomfort was more a testament of his pent-up tension rather than a reaction to the mild spring weather. He’d taken the burden of worry to new dizzying heights, his concern for his friend physically churning his stomach. Tom was unpredictable, calm one moment, anxiety-ridden the next, and he’d had no idea how he would react during the burial service.

Clouds filled the sky as we watched the dark casket go into Our Lady of Peace. My brother Danny and I tried not to shed any tears, but the task was too much of a challenge for us, being four and five years old. We trudged into the room with our heads held low, and the service was ready to start. At the time, I could not understand how the priest could talk about Grandma Ruthie so positively during such terrible times. I soon lost interest in the service and made it my own
Certain images and stories that I have encountered have influenced my viewpoint on education in lower developed countries. My original view was basically nonexistent, for I had little information on the hardships that those people go through on a daily basis. I used to think that everyone in the world has had the same privileges and opportunities that I have had. A most recent example of an image and a story that have moved me is Ashley Washburn’s story.

I had never ending waves filling my eyes. I was as forlorn as a new widow and and felt bruised and sorrowful as the black stone under the blue sea. Nothing made sense. My life was over. Sometimes I wondered if she had 'gone on ' to some place and just did not want to come back.
