Sarah the Sunflower Seed 1 “Who’s that looking up at me? The farmer’s daughter is who I see.” 2 Far below Sarah Sunflower Seed, a little girl looks up smiling. She had planted the bed of sunflowers months ago with seeds her grandmother had given her. She had watered and weeded them all summer long and was delighted that she now had a row of very tall flowers to be proud of. 3 “What is flying by my face? A purple finch that glides with grace" 4 Sarah Sunflower Seed was one of hundreds
lungs begin to dry, each breath was like breathing in fire, choking me as I wheeze to catch my next one. Echos of screaming and explosions reverberate through the air, bouncing up and down the beach and in my head. Men are mown down like grass, forcing us to cover behind a hill of corpses. I provide cover fire from behind as men towards the tower like ants scrambling out an ant hill after being stepped on. Explosives were placed as we cleared the seawall, “fire in the hole!” is screamed as a loud thump

Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Ngozi Adiche exemplifies adversity throughout the main character. Purple Hibiscus is about a young girl named Kambili who faces beatings, deaths, freedom, and love. An example of adversity
Reporters, flocking around me, all my eyes could see were the staggering number of camera flashes and the reporters repeatedly asking the same question, “Hicham, how did you manage to smash the last world record by nearly 20 seconds?” Still being out of breath from the race my lungs could not manage to gather the air needed to answer the question that required a long explanation. Soon after, one of my coaches grabbed me what seemed like my 10th water, my brain descended from the notorious
you can only swing it from one side to the other. Your whole body is limp and your throat is sore. Breathing is slow and painful. You open your eyes and see your body covered with wires, tubes, and straps. Nausea swirls around your stomach, irritating you to frustration. Your eyes slam shut as the left side of your head begins to palpitate with excruciating pain. Panic fills your body and your breathing accelerates. Loud inhales and exhales seem to fill your lungs with anything but air. You try to call
Quiet. That was the only sound that filled the apartment. Kuroo felt stuck, his knees felt weak, but his heart still beat. And why? How could it? He had lost everything. His lover, his life, it was all gone. A loud thump sounded throughout the apartment as Kuroo fell to his knees, his hands shaking violently as he bit his bottom lip, his hazel eyes staring at nothing but the floor as he shakily brought the letter close to his chest, holding it as if it was the only thing keeping him alive. And
The. Last. One. Oxygen. That's all I need. Right now. In this moment. My body spazzes upward as blood flows to my head, like warm water soaking my face. The only thing I can think of, the only thing I remember how to do is breathe. I inhale and exhale, finding sanity in the only thing around me that I can control. My mind should be racing, heart pounding, thoughts flowing, but all I feel is stillness. All I feel is an empty space, and a lonely heart. All I know is nothing. Nothing is all I know,
space and things in our material world and the term Akasha also descends from one of the elements which are earth, air, fire, and water. To me Akasha means a few different things there is a movie called Queen of the Damned which stars Aaliyah she played a vampire queen named Akasha and the term also means to me things regarding the earth like the clouds in the sky along with water, fire and the air that we breath and also it can mean spirit to me. Akasha can be used in the way that we practice by means
around the corner. Hassan was standing at the blind end of the alley in a defensive stance towards...Assef. My heart dropped, I turned back and put my back against the material the building was made of. For the longest time, silence, just breathing, my breathing, my heartbeat, everything that made me human was
Please don’t refer to it as “noss.” Just …don’t. Call it “laughing gas,” “spray,” “squeeze,” “juice” or “nitrous." Call it “T-Stoff” or “A-Stoff” if you are feeling historical and ironic; “N2O “ is also acceptable in a written discussion. Nitrous doesn’t warp time and space; it doesn’t blow up in green flame, and it won’t make your diamond-plate floorboards decline. What it does is to make anything it’s pumped into more fast than it should be, and everyone knows how to apply for it, force to be enumerated

Great Fire of 1910 The largest forest fire in American History was on August 20th and 21st of 1910. It took lives, destroyed towns, and created torches out of trees. The fire adopted the name of The Big Blowup, or sometimes called the Big Burn. One man described it as “A terrific hurricane had broke over the mountain”. The Great Fire of 1910 was very destructive in its nature. A drought and dry spring made the ground exhausted with dehydration. In Sherry Devlin’s article she states “Wallace

Drought fell upon Mason Row during the summer solstice, the small farming community greeted the sunshine with dreaded welcome; cattle and crop usually thrived beneath its brilliant rays, but this year. . . this year brought danger.

a firefighter than most people would think. In December of 2010 my house caught on fire, my family made it out safely and today we have rebuild in the same house just bigger and better.
