    Screams of excruciating pain interrupted my slumber. Springing up from my sleeping bag, I looked in the direction where I heard the continued sounds of agony, broken bones, and ripping flesh. Quickly scanning the gym with my eyes, I saw that five of Kristine’s survivors became runners. In the bleachers, three of runners dugged their teeths into the survivor’s necks, faces, shoulders, who were lying peacefully and unexpected in their sleeping bags. In the middle of the gym’s basketball court, two more runners’ yanked meat and muscles from survivor’s faces, as the survivors attempted to fight back, however their attempts were useless, the runner’s strength over powered theirs. As one runner, in the middle of the gym, swallowed a survivor’s nose,…

    Having an education for the Black man of the 1940’s was a blessing and a curse. It was very rare to hear of a Black person with an education because Black people were enslaved for so long that they never had a chance to learn how to read and write. These privileges were taken away from them for so long and now that slavery was now over, they were still being treated unfairly by the white man. Those Black men who learned how to read and write took full advantage of it and got their education and may have opened a few doors so that they could provide for their families…

    I have been waiting here for two whole dull years. It is dreadfully space less in this ridiculous lamp. Why did I believe that dirty street rat Aladdin to use my third wish to turn into a genie? I should have used it to be with Jasmine forever. I love her so much. My name is Jafar and I am (or was) the most powerful sorcerer in the world, until I turned into a genie, and I am a lover of Princess Jasmine of Agrabah. You see, I just wanted to be Jasmine’s love. I could not do that if there was another man involved! I had to get rid of him once and for all. It all started when I really knew that I had to be with her. I made a plan. I was following Jasmine in the market to make sure she was not acting as she was “on the market”, when I caught her run away with a dirty little peasant! He isn’t even a prince, being with him is strictly prohibited! I was so heartbroken, so I sent the palace guards to go find that boy, and capture him, saying it was for stealing, so that I could give him a little talk. They got him, so my plan was headed in the right direction. When Jasmine came back to the palace, she was mad at me for arresting this fool who she recalls is named “Aladdin”. What an ugly name! Mrs. Jafar tops Mrs. Aladdin by a long shot. I did not understand why she got upset about it, I was trying to make sure she was getting the best for her, (and I am the best). That night I went down to the cellar to talk to this “Aladdin”. I made sure I was in disguise so he couldn’t recognize me; I mean, who doesn’t know me? The wonderful-handsome-rich Jafar, Grand Vizier of Agrabah. I think he bought it, because he did not seem to be star-stricken. I made him trust me then I turned it all around when I set him into a trap! Legend has it, only a “Diamond in the Rough” can retrieve a magic lamp, currently in the Cave of Wonders. There was a genie with 3 wishes inside the lamp. I would use them all to call Jasmine my princess! I told him I could get him out…

    Salva had the skills to adapt, and I believe that adaptability was a prominent reason for his survival. The ability to adapt was a great trait for Salve to have. This is because he had surroundings that were constantly changing. For example, his uncle was shot in front of him, yet he was still able to adapt to that change, and move on from it.

    The character I have chosen from Alice Walker's novel, 'Everyday Use,' is Mama. Mama is a single parent raising two daughters. Mama describes herself as a “large, big-boned woman with rough, man-working hands. She proudly tells of her ability to kill and clean hogs as “mercilessly” as any man. I believe these skills were acquired out of sheer survival and necessity. Mama starts the story recalling the dreams she often has in which she and Dee reunite on a television talk show. In this dream she has described herself almost as if it is the woman that she wished she was for example she states she is “a hundred pounds lighter, her skin like an uncooked barley pancake.” Although she says the way she looks in the dream is the way her daughter would want her to be, I think she longs for that as well.…

    Many people are not necessarily able to make the connection between survivors and refugees. Luckily, I had the chance to work with refugees before this class and even though I cannot really say I understand their battle from a personal point of view, because I don’t. But I can say I have a newfound respect and understanding of why refugees come to America, or to anywhere really. The conditions many of them had come from, make poverty in…
