Karl English 10H One Day Down‚ One Thousand to Go I gazed up into the bleak morning sky and viewed the wafts of smoke‚ anything to take my mind off what was to come. The sound of the landing craft’s engines revved up indicating we were on our final approach. I gripped my Thompson and carefully glanced over it. The functionality of this gun could mean life or death for me and so it received my dearest attention. Suddenly

feel worth it to lose so many troops in a poorly organized attack. However‚ I went along with it because I knew the commanding officer would do his best to win the war. So many deaths occurred during that offensive attack. I could not believe it. The days of the war continued to get darker. I did not want to continue; I had no choice but to keep fighting. The Troop Morale suffered greatly from this battle. We lost a lot of confidence in each other and the higher ups. The morale was only regained during

In those minutes‚ I knew dancing was an enjoyment for me. It was a day in December‚ my friends and I were walking up to the auditorium where Salt Creek Ballet was having their annual Nutcracker performance. We arrived in the crowded and chaotic dressing room where the fumes of hair spray and fluffy‚ shiny‚ laced‚ and glittered

The walls were the color of dead sunflowers and the carpet looked as if it hadn’t been cleaned since it’s first day in the school. If you got close enough you could see the soda stains and the smell of rotting fish. Only three other students were in the classroom. Swerving in and out of the metal desks I walked towards my own in the far left corner of the room. One

A day at the dock The memories of years long since passed came to me as the sun rose over the mountains and came across my empty house. I sat on the small wooden dock at the edge of the lake which happens to be in the middle of a grove of trees in a small valley with two giant mountains looming on both sides and a third off in the distance. An old rusty fishing pole lying next to me gently rising and falling as the waves flowed under the dock‚ as I stick another small slimy worm on the end of my

A heavy cloud of gray has been hanging over the harbor city of Layset for days now. The darkness and constant cold make the city a less than desirable for pretty much anything. With any luck though the storm will pass soon and bring brighter skies. But the weather did carry some positive

1/21/14 Bumps and Bruises I’m tired and restless after a mentally draining day at school. There are blurred lights and angry drivers all around me as the tires of my car grind against the cold concrete. My dad pulls into the back parking lot and signals for me to get out of the car. I groan‚ knowing that I am in for a long practice‚ and slowly drag myself out of the front seat. I lug my hockey bags out of the trunk‚ and they become another nagging reminder of the grueling workout I’m

Once it reached the top of the hill it watched curiously as a familiar woman unlocked the door of the cafe‚ preparing for her long day of customers bustling in and out of her small shop. Suddenly the squirrel heard a child’s squeal and it hurried away. Two excited children ran out of the squeaky playground gate and down the other side of the hill. The lady they were following trudged

My bare feet chafe against the rough plastic of my bike pedals. I pedal as fast as I can‚ but it’s still not fast enough. A colossal headwind slows me down‚ making me work twice as hard to go half as fast. I need to get to the beach before dark‚ and I can already see the sun setting through the careening trees. To my relief‚ the sharp smell of salt and decomposing seaweed soon fills my nostrils. Despite everything‚ I manage to smile at the thought of all the euphoric memories I associate with the
