When Danny, Tom, Robin and Anny reached the door of Mr. Onion’s classroom, a big explosion was heard. The door flew open and out flew Mr. Onion. His glasses dangled from his right ear and his hair looked like a rainbow. Quark screw curls of all colors shut out from his head in every direction. “You look like a demented sheep!” said Danny between giggles. Tom laughed so hard that a loud fart, sounding like a trombone ripped out of his butt! “Another experiment gone wrong,” sighed Mr. Onion, motioning for the children to come into the classroom. He walked to the other side of the room, where a frightened little sheep looked at him with wide eyes. “Whoa!” exclaimed Robin, noticing the sheep. “What happened to her?” He asked, wondering why the …show more content…
Onion explained, trying to pick up Betsy. Betsy bleat loudly and jumped onto a table, knocking a round beeping device off. “Duck!” warned Mr. Onion, hiding under a lab table and covering his ears. “Duck, where?” asked Tom, looking all around. Another loud explosion sounded. Everyone took cover, except Tom, who stood in the middle of the room, blinking confused and with hair of all colors, much like Mr. Onion. Betsy bleat again, from the other side of the room as she knocked out different bile’s. “Catch that sheep!” yelled Mr. Onion, not wanting anything worse to happen. A hissing sound came from across the room and the smell of rotten eggs and gym sucks took over the classroom. “Oh, nasty!” shouted Anny, covering her nose and making a face. Danny gagged and coughed. Pulling his shirt over his mouth and nose, he carefully walked forwards, calling out softly to Betsy. “Got you!” announced Tom, diving down from a table towards Betsy with a trash bag in hand. Betsy’s eyes grew wide. She jumped and her head bumped Danny’s stomach, sending him stumbling backwards and sliding on the liquid covered floor. “Look out!” Danny warned, heading straight for

“The Onion Field” directed by Harold Becker is a true story, set in the 1960’s, about two men named Greg Powell (James Woods) and Jimmy Smith (Franklyn Seales) who meet through a mutual friend. The two men become close and soon become business partners. They go around together robbing places such as stores to get money. On one excursion to gain some money, they are stopped by two Los Angeles Department police officers named Karl Hettinger (John Savage) and Ian Campbell (Ted Danson). When Campbell asks Powell to step out of the car, he grabs him and puts a gun to his back, pushing him around to the other side of the car. Powell forces the other officer, Hettinger, to hand over his gun to Smith. Without a choice he does so. Powell and Smith take the officers prisoner and drive them out to a middle of nowhere onion field in Bakersfield, California. Powell ends up shooting Campbell once in the mouth, but not before mentioning the Lindbergh Law. He later shoots him four more times while Smith shoots at Hettinger who has escaped. After Smith escapes with the car, Powell is arrested and blames the shooting on Smith. Over several years an investigation and trial goes on to find out the true events of that night. Both men are sentenced to the gas chamber and wait for their time in prison. In the meantime, Hettinger is suffering from severe post-traumatic stress disorder, as well as depression and keeps having nightmares about what occurred that night. He loses his jobs and begins stealing as a coping mechanism. After some time, Powell and Smith get a re-trial and are sentenced to life. After the trial, Hettinger is offered a job in Bakersfield, near the onion field. He and his family move out there. Eventually he learns to deal with the...
Daisy’s face was filled with fear as she slowly stood up and walked around the room. “She was…she was killed?” Daisy questioned in a trembling voice.
Later approaching the tragedy of of the book, Tom displays another act of sub-human behavior, nonchalantly brushing off his affairs, “And what’s more I love Daisy too. Once in a while I go off on a spree and make a fool of myself, but I always come back, and in my heart I love her all the time.”(201). Tom in a sense...

... the dorms at around 2 in the morning after the party was shut down by the unlucky owners of the house. The students are completely belligerent and destructive. The hallways are strewn with food and missing articles of clothing. The bathrooms are covered in a mixture of bodily fluids and dirt that was tracked in from outside. The students are loud and disorderly until they catch word of the resident advisors doing rounds. Then they disappear into dorm rooms, but continue being loud and destructive.
Tom is shown, throughout the story, as a typical boy of his time. He has a loving, happy home, with his devoted Aunt Polly to care for him. He is restricted by his home routine of prayers, meals, chores, bedtime, ETCTERA, but when his routine life gets TOO dull, he has the nearby river and woods, where he can go to escape. Though Tom is not " the model boy" of the village. He plays boyish pranks on Aunt Polly, Sid, his friends, and everyone in town. He steals, lies, plays hooky, fights, and goes swimming secretly, but he is a normal boy, what normal boys do at his age.
Another male teacher and I made sure all of our “students” had evacuated the Madison Room, and we brought up the rear of the second batch of sixty kids. Suddenly, a male chaperone from a Catholic high school class that had also been staying at the Tyson’s Corner motel came running over to us, screaming the larynx out of his throat.
On the kitchen floor he set her down, held her in his arms, and kissed her. “Thanks.”
“Wait!” I yelled as Jason ran from the fire spreading on the floor. Jason went back to class, but Celia went and hid in a Janitor’s closet in the wall. Beep! Beep! Beep! I started to smell thick smoke as the ear-piercing alarm screamed across the whole school. Revenge is what I had an idea for(14). But I had to do it quickly, as my surroundings became very warm and dark(13). I went to the closet Celia was in and flipped the lock.
When I first got to the classroom the students were doing a listening exercise and had to answer same question the teacher wrote on the board. At a certain time they all were allowed to go to the bathroom. Each student was given a responsibility in the classroom.
