The dampened ground slowly sunk his feet through the thick, soggy mud as he scoured through the densely packed forest in hope for finding Trent. The tangling vines obstructed Arnold’s path as they clung of the lengthy branches like maggots on a desiccated piece of meat. The thick, misty air occupied his presence in a truly terrifying way that Arnold couldn’t make out anything apart from a glimpse of light that reflected of his jacket’s zip. The only obvious illumination he could make out was the moon as it glared down on him while accompanied with the trillions of dazzling white specs that roamed the night sky.
“Where was he?” he thought to himself. *****
His wavy brunette hair swished back and forth curling across each other as the wind danced slowly against him. His bright green eyes gave an illuminating effect over his pale skin making him look like a glowing firefly. His fair skin glowed in the dim atmosphere like an electric jelly fish gliding through the deep ocean floor. He bravely strolled side to side as he cautiously avoided the thorns that erected out the branches. His long croissant-shaped nose hooked continually over almost touching his top lip, slightly blocking his view. The

The thick fog terrorised Arnold’s vision making it impossible for him to describe its features. He approached it ever so slowly just in case that I wasn’t a wild animal sleeping. Bush by bush he crawled behind its waving leaves, peeping through the tiny holes that had been distorted by the wind. The leaves rustled aggressively against his skeletal body giving him a fright. He embedded himself in silence as he sneaked behind the tree bark that stood in the corner. The crunching leaves cracked open as Arnold kneeled down and took cover behind the elongated
I could hear the car engines roaring to life, horns honk above me. Tiny footsteps echo throughout the tunnel as I leant up against a brick wall. The tunnel seemed to carry on forever like there was no ending. Yellow dimmed lights lead through the path of the tunnel. I tried to control my breathing which got heavier by the second.
He wades further away from the “disconsolate” screams of the girl until suddenly he encounters a corpse. The corpse shocks him and he, “(stumbles) back in horror and revulsion, (his) mind yanked in six different directions.” (129). It is a wake up call for the narrator, and for the first time, he stops to think about how “(he) struck down one greasy character” (129), and how he might have killed that man. Terrified, he runs out of the Greasy Lake and falls into muck. As the narrator lies still in the mud, he reaches an epiphany. He realizes that he does not want to be bad. He is scared of being bad. The sky starts turning blue and “the trees (begin) to separate themselves from the shadows,”(130). He pushes himself out of the mud and steps into the open. Like mankind’s earliest ancestors, he evolves, from a simple-minded creature to a complex and intelligent being, from a wild animal rolling around in filth to a upright walking human. He smells the air, “raw and sweet at the same time… of sun firing buds and opening blossoms”(130). He repeats again, “this is nature” (130). The arrival of dawn at Greasy Lake, a time at which he has never seen the place before, shows him that although nature has its primal and savage side, it also is growth and goodness. The light represents the return of civilization and humanity, and also allows the narrator to be self-aware. However this time, the light allows him to see himself more clearly than ever, without the façade of yearning to be bad, because he realises that he is good, and that is good, because that is
The lights came and went. The music drowned words, but her imagination was vivid. His eyes were hypnotic onyx gems, his body strong without being intimidatingly muscular. By all accounts, he seemed like the perfect man. He headed her way and struck up a conversation, which flowed as smoothly as his silky black hair.
Located in the popular Yosemite National Park, Yosemite Falls is the tallest waterfall in California. Every year, mother nature’s breathtaking beauty attracts millions of people from around the world. People hike for three long and fatiguing hours in anticipation of witnessing forceful water rushing down the steep mountain from 2,425 feet above. Last summer, my family and I backpacked through the Yosemite Falls Trail and I came to learn what a truly exhausting experience it is.
The Creature That Opened My Eyes Sympathy, anger, hate, and empathy, these are just a few of the emotions that came over me while getting to know and trying to understand the creature created by victor frankenstein in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. For the first time I became completely enthralled in a novel and learned to appreciate literature not only for the great stories they tell but also for the affect it could have on someones life as cliché as that might sound, if that weren’t enough it also gave me a greater appreciation and understanding of the idiom “never judge a book by its cover.” As a pimply faced, insecure, loner, and at most times self absorbed sophomore in high school I was never one to put anytime or focus when it came time
Based on my generation from age eight to ten I loved playing at Lawrence Park in Tucson, AZ. Every time my parents would ask, “where do you want to go” I would literally yell, “the park!” Being bored inside all I wanted to do was play tag, run, and climb the monkey bars all day. Lawrence was the one destination where I could be free: no one telling me to stop running, be quiet, or keep my hands to myself. I can remember having the time of my life as a kid enjoying myself at Lawrence Park. Hopefully I could say the same for an older generation and future generation compared to my experience of play.
A long, distinct scar trailed from the stranger's forehead, down beneath his left eye, which was casted over by white, apparently blinded by whatever inflicted the scar.
He saw the enemies approaching emerging out as small black figures rapidly getting bigger and clearer riding on what almost seemed to be a tidal wave composed of earth. It took extreme amounts of effort and concentration to control one of such as scale which was apparent only by the sweat on their faces. These enemies seemed to be experienced. Ben began to feel anxious.
“I hope so.” His frost-covered brows moved as he spoke. “You need to let go so I can dismount.” In theory, she agreed, but he still had to pry her fingers loose from his coat.
Cliffs can be found in every direction sought on The Lake of the Woods. Everyone amazed by the beauty of the jagged rock and the reflection on the gigantic lake from tens of feet above. The sound of silence can be heard from all around. Thinking of the jump into the refreshing water gives me such a rush, bringing me back to a happier place, a better place. Everyone is antsy to voyage across the lake to the huge cliff.
As I saunter onto the school field, I survey the premises to behold people in coats, shielding themselves from winter's blues. The sun isn't out yet, but the place bursting with life and exuberance, with people gliding across the ice covered floor almost cat-like. The field is effervescent and despite the dire conditions, the field seems to have taken on a life of its own. The weather is bad and the ice seems to burn the skin if touched, yet the mood is still euphoric. The bare shrubs and plants about the place look like they've been whipped by Winter himself. The air is frosty and at every breath the sight of steam seems to be present. A cold, cruel northerly wind blows across the playground and creates unrest amongst some. Crack! The crisp sound of leaves is heard, as if of ice splitting and hissing. Squirrels are seen trying to find a point of safety, scurrying about the bare trees that lie around the playground. Mystery and enigma clouds the playing field, providing a sense of anticipation about the place. Who is going to be the person to spoil the moment? To kill the conversation?
Disney Land "Father, why can't we go to Willywitz Park, I weally want to go on da merry-go-round," My five year old daughter Sophia whined while I was working very hard trying to come up with more ideas for a Mickey Mouse short. " Sweetie, not right now, I'm trying to work, plus Willywitz is an park where you have to stay overnight in hotels, I just don't have the time for that," I stated back to her as I saw she was looking confused. "
I woke up on a wooden park bench clad only in my Spiderman pajamas, my body shivering uncontrollably from the dampness in the chilled October air. A white carpet of mist hung lazily a few inches off the ground, making the park appear as if it were floating on a cloud. It was the middle of the night and the only lamp in the park stands silently beside the park bench, a lone soldier on guard for the things that lurk in the dark. The lamp didn’t shine its protective light. Rocks and broken glass lay scattered on the ground around the pitted cement base of the lamp pole and the safety and warmth of the rising sun was still hours away.
When we look at scriptures in the Bible, we need to keep in mind what the readers would have originally have understood. We have to look at the scriptures through their eyes and knowledge, and only then can we apply them to our own lives. Taking scripture out of its original context can be something that is dangerous because throughout time words and phrases change meanings. This train of thought will help to keep the Bible in context because the Bible was not written in a cultural vacuum, but rather a contextual time. Every writer within the Bible had their own perspectives and experiences they were struggling with and writing through.
Unlike Jarryd, Riley had a rather pleasant evening when she got home. She was greeted with nothing but silent of the dark house she called home. Her mother wasn't around, which meant she was off being passed around by a group of guys. Nothing for her to worry about, that woman wasn't getting mother of the year any time soon. Or ever.
