There was no chance that she was going to escape. The sea of people behaved like a tide forcing her to go back and forth amongst the waves of people coming in and out of the trains. He had followed her and was now being drawn into the current. However unlike the girl, he did not get caught amongst the tide. Just as Moses parted the oceans with his staff, the gun instilled fear within the people creating a clear path. However it did not help the situation for the young lady. She was running with no certain direction when she tripped. That split second had seemed like an eternity. They noticed her falling trajectory and moved out of the way, it was though the whole world didn’t seem care. She hit the cement. Despite a scrapped knee, she somehow scrambled up to her feet and kept running, turning back only to see what she didn’t want to see. Her eyes filled up with fear at the nearing sight of her captors whilst running for the inevitable. The open green shirt unveiled his muscular physique. She knew she had nowhere to go, so she dropped onto her knees loosening the embroidery on h...

  • Analysis Of The Great American Orphan Abduction

    726 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Great American Orphan Abduction is a compelling story that exploits economic, religious, racial, and gender issues in the early 20th century. It follows the story of forty Irish-Catholic orphans from New York being adopted by Mexicans in a small Arizona mining town. These children were considered ulcers to society in the city and were mostly children whose parents were too poor to care for them. The Foundling had visions of a better future for the children out in Arizona. Orphan trains transported the children West and were facilitated by their Catholic nun caretakers. Both racial and gender factors led to posses kidnapping the children from their new homes. The Anglo townspeople did not like the idea of white children being placed in non-white homes. The Arizona Territorial Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Anglos in the trial that followed. Their reasoning was that allowing white children to be adopted by Mexicans was equal to child abuse. Gordon’s analysis shows that women were not as passive in public affairs as some would assume. Mexican women adopted the children, and Anglo women had a hand in the kidnapping and mob activity. Gordon spotlights lessons showing that women had a role in separating racial boundaries. The tragedy of the

    Stephanie Hepburn states that, "The US is one of the top 10 destinations for human trafficking—with tens of thousands of people trafficked into the country each year." Many people believe that since the United States is the land of opportunities, events like human trafficking do not exist; little do they know it happens everywhere. Human trafficking is a worldwide problem that plagues the United States; many people are oblivious to the issue and action needs to be taken to protect the innocent people who are involved.

  • Human Trafficking

    It's hard for me to conceive that there are bad people who abuse others for their own good. I think that the purest things that human beings possess are: his body, his soul, and the liberty to do his will. When an individual corrupts someone else soul, this one, becomes purest. When an individual corrupts someone else’s body, this one, becomes marked. When we hear about human trafficking what first comes to our mind is a girl from a different country who is been slaved against her will. We think that this phenomenon is something that does not happen here in the United States. Prostitution is not associated with human trafficking because we believe that prostitution is a choice that those girls make to make a living and we forget that they are been controlled by pimps and in some cases they are abused by those pimps. Just because they have a different name does not mean that they are not equally wrong.

    Imagine a quiet night with nothing but the sound of your friends’ laughter and the soft crackle of a campfire. All around you is darkness lit only by the moon and stars. Now imagine a bright light beaming down on you from above. The next thing you remember is waking up from a daze next to your friend, unable to explain what just happened. This is just one of many examples of what many people call alien abduction experiences. Despite the hundreds and thousands of people who have claimed similar abductions, scientists and skeptics still attempt to answer this mystery with more earthly explanations. Even though many people claim very similar alien abductions, researchers can reasonably explain this phenomenon.
