Recommended: Essay on child kidnapping

The gun was pressed hard against my forehead. I was tied up and couldn’t move. In the corner there was a woman dressed in all black whistling while emptying my belongings looking for something valuable. Too bad she won’t find anything here. It seemed like hours until after the gun was removed, but sadly, the ropes that kept me bound weren’t. Both the man and the woman searched everywhere in my small, cozy one-story home but what they were searching for wasn’t found. Somehow, these two criminals had kidnapped me while I was on my way back from work. Honestly though, I’m not very surprised this has happened to me. I’ve done my fair share of horrible deeds. What is a surprise is that after all these years, my past is finally catching up to me.

  • Personal Narrative: Trap Shootings

    968 Words  | 2 Pages

    Trap shooting is a major part of my life. Ever since I started shooting last summer, I have spent much of my time practicing. It can be both incredibly fun and incredibly frustrating. While it has only been two years, I have improved a ton. Mostly thanks to my two coaches, who devote much of their time and resources to helping my teammates and I. As far as coaches go, I couldn’t ask for better. Over the years they have created many great shooters, including two of the best shooters in the United States, whom we regularly see out at the range. This is even more impressive knowing that it is not a very easy sport to coach.

  • Still Missing Chevy Stevens

    897 Words  | 2 Pages

    Throughout the novel, Still Missing written by Chevy Stevens, the protagonist, is taken on a frightening journey of being drugged, kidnapped, sexually abused, and eventually left to fend for herself. Because of the author's unique writing style and use of first person, a sense of understanding is created for the reader's feelings and reactions. At the beginning of the novel, Annie O’Sullivan was extremely oblivious to her surrounding and would never imagine something like this ever happening. As the chapters continued, and she began to reveal what happened to her the first few days, she was unsure of what to do other than to be in complete shock, unable to react and grasp the entire situation. As the reader, I was intrigued by the ‘journey’

Her secret weapons. Her uncanny ability to find my weakest spots. But in the brief instant that I had peered over the barriers I could finally see what was really there: an old woman, a wok for her armor, a knitting needle for her sword, getting a little crabby as she waited patiently for her daughter to invite her in.

  • Gun Control: The Sociological Issue Of Gun Control

    736 Words  | 2 Pages

    Each person has a different view on the world. If a person is asked about their view on a certain subject, they will likely show support or disdain for the subject. For example, some people believe abortion is morally wrong. Others view abortion as the mother’s choice since she is carrying the child. On the issue of gun control, people are usually either for or against stricter gun laws. Why do people view the world in the way they do? How do people decide what stance to take on an issue? To answer these questions, sociologists look at the sociological perspective which “stresses the social contexts in which people live” and “examines how these contexts influence people’s lives” (Henslin, 2013, p. 4). Furthermore, the sociological perspective

  • The Complex Issue of Gun Control

    2723 Words  | 6 Pages

    Taking into account of the recent shooting sprees, the gun control debate has started again. However, people have contemplated: “Why does America need gun laws” and “Why are so many states disagreeing about the restrictions that need to be put in place for civilians looking to purchase firearms.” The reasoning for such contemplation is that the fluxuating strictness of gun laws have led to several incidences within states that have strict gun laws due to the fact that the perpetrators of these incidences have purchased their firearms either from black markets, or states where the severity of gun control is at minimal levels.

  • Examining the Ineffectiveness of Gun Control

    It seems to be all over the news these days. The next big mass shooting has occurred and the politicians are clambering for stronger regulations. Meanwhile, the American public goes into panic mode and flocks to the nearest gun store to buy anything and everything that soon might be ripped from the market. Time and time again, this same series of events occurs. Questions about how to fix this likely weigh heavily on people 's minds but, there seems to be no solution. Some argue that registration of firearms, bans of certain firearms, and background checks can curb the violence. However, none of these things seem to fix the issue. That is simply because these “solutions” don’t work.

  • Informative Essay: The Debate over Gun Control

    2111 Words  | 5 Pages

    Crime and guns. The two seem to go hand in hand with one another. But are the two really associated? Do guns necessarily lead to crime? And if so do laws placing restrictions on firearm ownership and use stop the crime or protect the citizens? These are the questions many citizens and lawmakers are asking themselves when setting about to create gun control laws. The debate over gun control, however, is nothing new. In 1924, Presidential Candidate, Robert La Follete said, “our choice is not merely to support or oppose gun control but to decide who can own which guns under what conditions.” Clearly this debate still goes on today and is the very reason for the formation of gun control laws.

  • Essay On Gun Control

    1182 Words  | 3 Pages

    One topic constantly blares on the news when the TV is turned on: gun control. Gun control is the regulation of selling, owning, and using guns. Although our right to bear firearms is protected by our Second Amendment, gun control has come under fire recently due to mass shootings at places such as Sandy Hook Elementary and Umpqua Community College. People argue that guns should be illegal since they are easy to obtain, which leads to countless shootings and deaths, while others argue that guns should be legal since the Second Amendment gives the right for protection. The best way to deal with this dilemma would be a median of both sides; make guns legal, but have very tight restrictions to obtain them. Strict gun control laws will lead to

    What is the need for gun control? The necessity of gun control is one of the most debatable topics today, and one of the reason for gun control is to get the guns out of the wrong hands. 33 million Americans own firearms for hunting, but hunting is not the sole reason for which many citizens of America purchase firearms.

According to the FBI report for the year 2013 the amount of murders (not counting robberies or any other violent crimes that involved firearms) in that year alone added up to 8,454, and for the year 2014 the amount rose to 9,275.

    Suddenly I felt a knife cut through the thin skin in my throat, to stick itself into my breathing pipe, I couldn’t breathe anymore, and all my air was escaping. A spasm took my body then all went black, the last thing I ever herd was the sound of the guards cheering and laughing. I felt my soul trying to leave my body tugging, tugging as my flesh died, but then just before the last of my strength was about to leave my body, I felt as if my throat was burning. Then I realized that the laughs had stopped, I can hear, I can see, I can breathe, I’m…. I’m alive “I’M ALIVE,” I yelled, “DO YOU HEAR ME I’M ALIVE”, and I ran towards the car that was stil...
