Night of Terror
The night was dark. The sky was only lit by a full moon and a few faint stars. I was sitting quietly in my basement with my sister and two of our friends, Danny and Heather. We were all feeling rather bored. I came up with the idea to go get my Ouija board from my room. I told everyone, "I'll be back in a minute." I ran upstairs to my room, grabbed the Ouija board from under my bed, and quickly ran back down to the basement. I set the board up and got the oracle out. Everyone had this odd look on their face. They seemed a little hesitant about taking part in playing with the Ouija with me. I talked everyone into it and explained how to do everything.
I turned off all the lights and the television. Then, I lit a few candles around us. My Ouija board was glow-in-the-dark anyway though so everything was easy to see in the dark. All four of us put the tip of our hands on the oracle and moved it in three circles. I, then, asked "is there anyone with us?" The oracle quickly moved to "yes." This scared and surprised us. I continued to ask questions. I asked "what is your name?" The oracle slowly started to move. First, it moved to the "V". Then, it continued to move to other letters. It ended up spelling out "Vincent."
This seemed interesting to all of us. I kept asking more questions. Next, I asked, "do you want something?" The oracle started moving. It moved more quickly this time. It spelled out "help." This kind of scared me so I asked, "How do I help you?" The oracle spelled out "he's coming." We all sat there and looked at one another for a minute because we were scared. Then, we heard a really big bang come from this tiny coal room in my basement. We started freaking out. I told everyone to calm down. I asked "who is he?" The oracle started moving. We waited. It spelled out "run." This scared us, but we kept going. The oracle quickly moved to "goodbye." We got worried.
I asked again, "Is there anyone here with us?" The oracle moved even more quickly this

    Reign of Terror is the period of the French revolution since September 5, 1793, to July 27 1794. It was a civil and a foreign war, where the government decided to terrify the people of France, and to take harsh consequences against those who were against the revolution, like the nobles and priests. The government forced terror in the hearts of the French. Approximately 40,000 people die during the Terror. About 15% were the nobles and clergy. Another 15% were the middle class. The rest were peasants. The brain of the terror is the Guillotine. It was blade, which dropped fast, and the victim would not feel pain. Dr. Joseph Guillotine created the Guillotine, and it quickly became a symbol of horror in the Reign of Terror. Another method used in the period of Terror was The Breaking Wheel. The Breaking wheel was the famous execution before the Guillotine. The Breaking Wheel was a torture device where they attach a person to the wheel and rotate the wheel were his bones break and the person gets dehydrated.

    In Joseph Conrad’s novel Heart of Darkness, the geographical surrounding shape the psychological and moral traits in Kurtz, one of the characters of the novel. Especially because it shows the savagery, and lawless environment of the uncivilized lands, which allows Kurtz to almost forget all the European ways, and it also illuminates the work as a whole by bringing the question of what would happen to us if we were to be taken from a civilized world to an uncivilized world.…

    Heart of Darkness

    • 1062 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Some critics believe that in Heart of Darkness Conrad illustrates how ‘’the darkness of the landscape can lead to the darkness of the social corruption.” This statement means that if the environment is dark, then the people in that environment will match the surrounding feeling, which is dark and depressing. For example, if it is a gloomy rainy day, most people feel tired and not as happy. If it is a bright sunny day, the most people feel motivated to get things done and joyful. Yes, this statement is believable because I have noticed that the weather, my surroundings, and even other people’s behaviors around me affect my mood. Today, for instance, it rained all day and the sky was dark, as a result I slept throughout the whole day. So my environment changed my mood negatively. – “It made you feel very small, very lost, and yet it was not altogether depressing, that feeling.” When riding along the river.…

    Reign of Terror

    The Reign of Terror started in 1789 and was a time when supporters of the French Revolution ran wild and started killing non-supporters or counterrevolutionaries. The French held a ceremony if you will, in Paris for the execution of King Louis XVI on January 21, 1793. This was because Louis was having financial, and harvest issues. In June of 1789 King Louis called the Estates Meeting to discuss taxes and money problems. Then some men disliked what Louis was talking about so they stormed out and filed into a tennis court, and vowed not to leave until they created a new constitution. On August 26 “The Declaration of Rights of Man and Citizen” was signed and put into action. Not everyone was in favor of this new constitution though. Neighboring countries and the catholic church disliked it because they feared a spread of a revolution and they lost power/property. To deal with their opposition of the “Declaration of Rights of Man and Citizen” they wanted to become more “radical”. They were led by chief-prosecutor Robespierre, who found King Louis XVI guilty of crimes against state/treason, and was executed (Doc A), therefore connecting all of these events. Although it helped the government by getting rid of Louis XVI, The Reign of Terror was unjustified because it took away freedom of speech, religion, and killed thousands of people.…

    A mere twenty minutes later, I was exhausted. The sun had burst through the clouds and was basking the mountainside in violent light. I was roasting in the safety of my outer shell. As my once confident steps became desperate shuffles, I began to understand that my end was near. But I had a goal to achieve, and so I fought to deny what I knew to be true. Soon, I fell back and separated from the group. It was then that the guide made his move. He swooped down on me, looked me in the eye, and told me it was…

    Just past midnight, everyone in the house is in their slumber. “Billono, Michellono, and Okrama, we shall start our journey now.” I whispered. Through the underground tunnel we crawled; and right in front of the Gold house we landed. There standing keeping guard of the house was a hypnotized guard. Stepping forward, Okrama begins to pour out the respect he holds for the country and its “great” leader, Grump. Knowing Okrama means well, we were let free into the Gold House. It was Billono and I who were now depended on to find where the monster was in the arms of Morpheus. Over to the room keeper we went, scavengering for information. “ I am Billono, the god of intelligence. Only one question you can ask, I will provide an answer and recieve the key to Grumps room. Fair?” Billono firmly spoke to the keeper, in hopes of recieving the key. “Are Oranges named Oranges because Oranges are Orange? Or is Orange called Orange because Oranges are Orange?” Uttered the confused room keeper. Too smart for that my husband was, “ Place the key in my palm, only one question was allowed.” To the room they…

    Startled, you get woken up by the police officers barging into your room, you notice the door has been kicked down and you are being yanked by the limbs.

    Opening the door slightly, I was greeted with a thick wall of darkness. Peering out into the inky blackness of the passageway, I tried to clam myself down to go down to the kitchen to grab some candles to light up the house. I finally felt ready to go down , as if I was fighting a war with the darkness. As I opened the door, the door seemed to come alive, making a creak sound, warning me not to go out of this room. Biting my lip, I groped around the black darkness. I quickly made my way towards the staircase. Just moments ago, I was still waving goodbye towards my parents when they went to their friends wedding party.…
