Running
Jaymes Studabaker
Running, running, running down a dark alley don’t know where to go and then you come face first into a brick building you get knocked unconscious and you wake up not knowing where you are. Have you ever had that happen to you? Well that’s happened to me. I was a good kid, popular, and as the girls would put it hot. Well now I can’t talk to girls or let’s just say any one for that fact. My parent named me Phillip, but now I go by James. The person that made me run into that wall 400 years ago made me vow that I could not talk to girls for the rest on my existence. He died nearly 130 years ago and I’m still afraid to break the promise. You see I can’t go swimming if I do I will die. Nobody knows this not even my enemy Dexter. You see what he made me was a monster or what he would call it the new breed of humans’ Hydro sapiens witch is bender of water. I have had to defend this city many times and it is always because of Dexter. He can be so mean at times and be so nice at the same time I think he might have bipolar disease. He is the same thing as me but still we can’t get along. I’m going to tell you a story of how I defeated Dexter once.
It was a dark starry night and I met Dexter to talk out our differences. When we first met I thought we were all alone until I smelled trouble and he pulled out a gun and fifty men jumped at me and I had to pull a protective shield of water around me it only worker for a while until he started to at shoot at me and my bubble of water started to leak and I don’t have that many powers yet with water so I did the best I could of what I could do with the powers I had. I shoot a beam of water at Dexter and he cried out in pain as he started to bleed. I was doing this all while defending myself from the other fifty men. “God!” this is hard I thought as I was doing this I put up a big thick sheet of water around only me and Dexter and he was already healed coming at me again this time I had put a ball of water

    The story of “Elephant Run” begins with the 14-year-old Nick Freestone in the midst of World War II, a teenager that had been sent from London to Burma to be with his father on account of the dangers of the Blitz during 1941. It is in Burma Nick’s father, Jackson Freestone, owns an old estate and plantation that had been passed down from generation to generation in the Freestone family. After Nick is flown into Burma he encounters his native guide to the plantation, Nang, an elephant rider or mahout as they are known, accompanied by his two children Indaw and Mya. Once Nick arrives at the plantation estate, Hawk’s Nest, he awaits his father and has his first confrontation with the unpredictably dangerous elephant Hannibal. By the time Jackson Freestone arrives to greet his son, Nick is informed that Burma is equally as unsafe as London, having been invaded by the Japanese and that he is to be moved to safer land, namely Australia. Unfortunately, while Nick, his father, and his companions were out the Japanese vanguard captures them and seizes control of the plantation and its people. The Japanese leader, Captain Moto, imprisons the teenager in his room and is closely guarded by a Burmese traitor known as Bukong. Luckily, one of Nick’s father’s allies, a very old mahout called Hilltop helps break both his great-granddaughter Mya and Nick out of Hawk’s Nest using secret tunnels in the walls of the house. Disguising themselves as novice monks, Nick and Mya are able to escape Japanese detection to venture into the Burmese jungle to locate Nick’s father. With the help of the wild elephant Hannibal and the guidance of the wise Hilltop the trio locate Jackson and Mya’s brother Indaw at a prison camp. It is at this camp that they spot Jackson Freestone being buried as a part of Hilltop and Jackson’s earlier plot to fake his death to escape the camp. However, as the group is escaping they are spotted by Captain Moto, Bukong and several other Japanese troops.…

    Always Running

    In 1993, Luis Rodriguez wrote an autobiographical book Always Running. Within months the Book Banning made Always Running their number one target calling it ungodly, antifamily, radical, and harmful. Rockford school district member, Ed Sharp, went to the extent of stating, “I challenge anyone who knows how the mind works, after reading this book, not to be more likely to assume the lifestyle of a gang person and not to be more likely to have sex in the back of a car” (Sharp). Had Sharp truly read Always Running and understood the passion, he would understand Rodriguez is only speaking of true life and real events. On the other hand, Armando Solana, a high school student commented on the novel, “Reading this book is like living thorough it…what I learned from this book is to never give up no matter what” (Always Running preface).…

    According to C. Wright Mills, what occurs in any one individual's life is interrelated with society as a whole. To possess sociological imagination as defined by Mills “To be aware of social stucture and to use it with sensibility IS to be capable of tracing such LINKAGES among great variety of milieux.” The sociological imagination helps give us the ability to understand the correlation of one's own biography, history, and traditions along with the knowledge of the social and historical influence society may have on that person or groups of people. Mills notion makes us want to investigate into an individual's biography and lifestyles, and place their findings within the surrounding circumstances in which events occur in order to see the whole picture of the society in which the individual lives.…

    My insides hurt. I follow the man walking along in the cold. I do not want to go, but he makes me follow him. I wish he could feel what I feel; even my fur hurts. He is going to where the other food and fire providers are, and I really want to make it there soon, for I am very hungry and cold. He makes me run ahead of him and I fall into the water.

    Everyday people are stuck facing new things, whether it’s asked of them or forced upon. Throughout someone’s early life, he or she is surrounded by the people closest to them: parents, friends, co-workers, that they are taught or influenced by every day. After one makes a decision there is always either a good or a bad outcome. After one makes a choice it is most likely followed by another. Not everybody has control over the reaction after their choices are made. Sometimes you don’t always get to see the outcome of doing something good, or you might not like the reaction you get of making a bad choice. Either way it’s up to the person to make the decision. Let it be good or bad, determine their outcome in the end, and how they handle the situation.…

    I blankly looked up at the cold sky. The best part of this moment was that snow began to fall, which acted as an ice pack for my head-wound. Everything feeling as it was glazed over, I saw my brother get up, rage filling his face along with disputation. I cocked my head in an uncomfortable position to see him walk over to the smirking guard. Tears filling my eyes I witnessed as my brother punched the guard right in the nose. The he jumped on him and wrestled him on the slick and icy ground. The guard, twice his size and stature threw him off stood up and fired one loud shot. My brother crumpled up on the ground. I brought my hand up to my head in pure shock, longing for this to be my imagination, when I felt a warm smooth and sticky liquid coming out my head. I brought my hand down to in front of my eyes to see that the color of scarlet red on my hand matched the color of the blood on my big…

    My life flashes before my eyes, as I approach the alligator infested waters. I begin to panic in the thought of the flesh eating monsters tearing me to shreds. I close my eyes, and pray to God hoping He answers me in that very same moment. "Lord, please take hold of my hand, and guide me to safety. I know I haven't been the best person lately, and I don't deserve Your mercy. I really don't want to die. Please Lord, help me!" As I opened my eyes, I could see the creatures inching their way towards the area I was destined to land within the next minute or so. I closed my eyes once more, and frantically cried out to the heavens. "I'm begging you Lord, please!"…
