Have you ever experience true fear? I have the day I went on my first roller coaster. The date was February twenty-fifth 2010 it was my second trip two Magic Mountain and I was going with my closest friends, Chris and Ritchard. I had told them that I had been on dozens of intense roller coasters that will literately take your breath away but the truth was I had never been on a roller coaster a day in my life. The first time I been to Magic Mountain I was only a toddler, I was too small to even get on a roller coaster and I hardly remember going. And about a week before the trip I had heard news reports about how certain rides would break down while people were still on them and how they were trapped on the ride about two stories high, and had to wait until the fire department came and rescued them. But after hearing reports like that I would think of the worst thing that could happen to me while I was on one of the rides. For example I would think about a roller coaster running off the track and dying a horrible bloody gruesome death or I would think about the seat I would be sitting in breaking down and while we were going under a loop I would be the only one falling out of my seat to my death and eradicate my spine from hitting one of the pillars made to support the ride and then as I fall with complete agony I somehow get impaled from the spikes of a random fence clenching on to life as I watch my insides slowly fall out of my body. My thoughts of dying on a roller coaster got so intense I would end up having night terrors about it. The night terrors were so intense that when I woke up I would pray and thank God that it was just a dream. The day had finally came and I knew that day that I would be forced to face my fears. The whole ride to the theme park my friends kept on talking about getting on the highest fastest and most terrifying rides first then try everything else. I soon joined in on their conversations they had so I looked

    Everyone thinks that Disney World is fun but when I was 4 I thought it was scary. All of those princess’ and scary statues scared me. But the rides were even worse.

    Many Americans have fears of all kinds. One fear is roller coasters. Individuals who have this type of fear may also have the fear of heights and how high the drop is on a loop or how fast the coaster goes. They have the feeling as if they are going to fall if up too high or how queasy their stomach may feel with the thought of approaching the big loop. This type of behavior can come from something as little as tripping off a curb or falling off a bike which triggers them to be afraid or fearful of anything that is high up. When it comes to individuals with the fear of roller coaster there is something in the mind telling them that they are too high up which…

    The Fury, the fastest, longest, and tallest rollercoaster on the East Coast. With a top speed of 95 mph and a height of 325 feet makes it the biggest rollercoaster I had ever gotten on, beating the Intimidator 305 by 25 feet. I remember seeing on television and wanting to ride it really badly. It just looked so amazing and since I love rollercoasters and love riding rollercoasters, I knew it was something I had to do. I had ridden lots of rollercoasters before this one such as the Intimidator 305 and the Top Thrill Dragster, which I had enjoyed riding very much, and I figured that the Fury would be just as good. So I asked my parents of we could go to the Carrowinds to ride the Fury. They said yes and we went with my aunt to the Carrowinds.…

    Although I nearly died, I carry an enduring memory from the trip: the Leap of Faith water slide. At the time, silky-white slides that towered at such angles appalled me. When my turn to ride the harrowing slide arrived, I completely ignored the frivolous rules by sitting straight up on the way down. As I exited the bottom of the slide, my mother and sister sprinted towards me, expressions of fear across their bleached faces. Never did it cross my mind that I put my life in jeopardy, until they reprimanded me for not reading the safety guidelines. “I could have lost you,” my mother exclaimed despite the tears welling up in her…

    A deadly civil war has been raging for two years in Syria between the government and the rebels. Consequently, on 21st August, Damascus was struck by rockets containing chemical materials. Within hours thousands of innocent people were left profoundly distressed at the barbaric aftermath caused by these sudden attacks. 1,429 people were killed including 426 children and the manner of their deaths was unspeakably grim. The Syrian government were accused of conducting these attacks but denied allegations even though evidence clearly shows they were complicit in this deeply inhumane massacre of their own people. Should we just stand passively and allow more chemical callous carnage or should we take military action with the strong possibility that if we do so this could lead to more deaths than we imagined despite the honourable motive involved.’…

    So we went to Six Flags for a graduation trip for middle school and it is just a park full of roller coasters and intense rides. So we were there around 8:00 am and we were hyped and excited and most of the lines were super short. So the scariest ride was basically empty and friend that would be the best ride to go on first so we did. No matter how scared we were and wanted to get off because the ride was an actual drop. You go up and up and at the peak, you all of a sudden drop and your legs are hanging below you swinging around. This was really scary for me because this was first ride so I had no adrenaline pumping, and I had never been to this amusement park before and I was freaking…

    Do you like roller coasters? I do, if haven't ridden one you should at least try it because they are really fun. The first time I rode one I was kind of scared because I didn't know what it was like. My family went on a vacation To Disney World in Florida for the first time. When I told my dad I wanted to ride it he said "you know you don't have to ride it" but I said I really wanted to. When we got there, there was a giant electric guitar and it was as tall as the sky in front of the building. The name of the ride was the Rock'n Roller Coaster, based on the band Arrow Smith. It seemed like a really fun ride. It was inside a building and when I was strapped in it was very comfortable. The ride had two speakers in the headrest playing the band's…

    My lengthy and troubled past with roller coasters stems from my acrophobia and my preference to keep my two feet solidly on the ground. I could never comprehend how some actually enjoyed being tossed around like rag dolls and having their heart leap into their throat. During the entire duration of my first time on a drop tower ride, I had my eyes shut tight and my mouth clamped shut. Surely…

    Another experience I had was when I was 9. I was tall enough to ride almost all the rides at Cedar Point and I was so excited to ride them. We had ridden all the rides we were allowed to ride until we reached the last one. I was so scared to do it because it was so tall. My parents forced me to go on it and I tried everything to convince them that I didn’t want to go. They made me go anyway. We got up and I screamed the whole way down. My fear was very stupid and now I love that roller coaster!…

    We waited anyways. An hour went by and it’s almost our turn to go on the ride. Then right before we were about to get on the ride some girl came by us and was telling us about the drop. She said, “everybody agrees that it’s the best ride here.” She then described the ride to us and we thought it sounded like a fun ride. The girl then left and went with her friends to the other line she was in. We got onto the ride, felt wind blowing in our hair, hands were flying up we were having so much fun. The ride then stopped and we got off of it. The same girl that was telling us about the ride was standing there waiting for us. She decided to go on the ride with us as a group. We walked over to the Drop and the line was empty. We gave the man our tickets and we got on. The man then said “get onto the ride at your own risk.” I began to look around nervously, I was scared but I wasn’t going to back out. I thought to myself “how bad could it actually be brehia?” I knew he was just trying to scare us but was also wondering why the line was empty when there were a few hundred people there. We got on to the ride and we started going up slowly, felt like we were never going to reach the top. We got 100 ft in the air and all of the sudden I felt it shake and rattle, we tilted to the right side. The ride was holding on by a few strings. I was so scared panicking, screaming for help, praying to god that we were all going to be safe. I knew I wasn’t going to live I just knew it. Wishing I could tell my family I love them, hoping for the worst. Knew there was nothing I could do, it was over…

    “Ballot or the bullet” was a speech delivered by Malcolm X, an African American to the American public in 1964 (Jake Wisser, 2012). The speech aimed to motivate African Americans to stay united and joined the Civil Rights Movement in order to strive for their rights and vote and stop disfranchisement. In my opinion, it is a good and persuasive speech, in terms of the use of rhetorical devices and the construction of audience awareness.…

    Everything I seen reminded me of those alligators coming to get me. To be honest I really think that ride should be for adults and adults only. I was so mad at myself for being so terrified but I almost got ate by a fake mechanical alligator so it scared in my head. I had nightmares for about 2 months after that roller coaster. I’ve never rode on a roller coaster since. All my friends still make fun of me to this day but alligators are fierce and frightening I won’t ever forget that roller coaster ride. Maybe the star wars convention wouldn’t had been a bad place to go after…

    If you haven't found out the thing I am talking about, the thing I am stressing about is a rollercoaster. But not just any rollercoaster, a seven-looping, twisting turning roller coaster. It is called Bizarro. I had been on just about all the other roller coasters at the park, but not bizarro! It scared me too much!…
