“Uff!” I yelled when I slammed my bruised head on my short, green bunk bed. I had another amazing dream about living in the Amazon. It started two weeks after graduating high school, when I was still 18. I finally decided it was time to live my dream. I ordered my plane ticket online about two weeks ago.

“Lucy, why so soon?”
“Mom, I need to escape your wrath once in awhile…”

My navy blue luggage made a, “Zzzrrrrp” as I shoved everything into the compartments. “I'll be back before you know it!” I exclaimed. In a rush, I swept the door behind me.

My heart was pounding when I got to the cloudy, humid airport in Mexico. I could picture in my head what this place used to be like, with crippled tumbleweed blowing across …show more content…

It was a private plane-not in very good shape mind you- and I was the only passenger on with the pilot (who was a man) and the flight attendant (who was a woman). About an hour had passed, and I was just getting comfortable. I looked to my right, and my eyes widened to the size of Texas. The engine was smoking and making, “CLINK...CLINK...CLINK” sounds. My eyes were darting everywhere, and my mind was taking control. All of a sudden I could hear every sound the Earth made, for it could be the last I ever hear. “Chink..

“WE’RE GOING DOWN!!!” gave the piercing cry of the flight attendant. I threw myself onto a chair like a lion on their prey. My hands were shaking so hard they felt like they were vibrating. I buckled the hard, leathery seatbelt watching out the window as we were diving down into the green abyss. My chocolate brown hair was flying everywhere in its long braid. Tears were rolling down my face as the pilot was yanking on the controls. I was squeezing my eyes shut and holding my breath, thinking it was my last. Waiting, waiting…

“I’M GONNA DIE!!” screeched the flight attendant once more, when we were only a couple thousand feet from our deaths. Now everything seemed in slow-motion, the screaming, the plane, even my body. The old rugged plane slowly pulled up from our unfortunate deaths, and I shut my eyes again, in hopes to make it all disappear. I opened my eyes when everything fell as silent as a dark night.

“SORRY for the INCONVENIENCE ladies!” yelled the pilot as he was looking back at us, still wrestling the beeping control

Heavy metal crashed next to his face, and with it an unearthly screech made itself known, almost blowing out his eardrums. He turned away, in a futile attempt to save himself. The janitor could feel a wave of heat gush over his back, and a couple shards of debris rained down around him. The rollercoaster fell...off the tracks.

"Alec Ramsay and Black Minx are out in front, five lengths ahead, AND THEY ARE UNDER THE WIRE!" the radio in the barn blared. I had just finished jumping my palomino "Above the Clouds" but I call him Cloud for short. Blackwater Ranch was owned by the Leigh's but they were at a horse show, so I was watching the ranch for them. I took my hunt seat saddle off Cloud's back then removed the saddle pad and set it out to dry.

Walking into the airplane I instantly knew I was in for a treat. Never had I been on an airplane before; nevertheless, that would explain the plane jitters even before sitting in my seat. Instantaneously I noticed the low ceilings, seeing that I hit my head on the ceiling as I was walking into the plane: but did not show the signs of anxiety setting in. “Passengers, we now are preparing for take off”, is the last thing I heard before squeezing my eyes shut, ever so tightly.

Although there are a lot of differences between these novels, the characters Jane Fairfax and Jane Eyre have a lot in common. First of all, both are orphans trying to manage their lives on their own. As orphans, they are more independent than others, as Adrienne Rich puts it: “mothers are dependent and powerless themselves and can only teach their daughters how to survive by the same means: marriage to a financially secure male.” (Thaden 63) Motherless children, on the other hand, had to find a way on their own to survive in this world.

After building up every bit of my courage, I made the decision to leap from the beet red helicopter. Slowly, the droning sound of the helicopter left my ears. I yanked the yellow and white braided rope with every muscle in my body.
