Trapped - Original Writing

It is two 0’clock in the dark misty night and the Mitchell family are

on their way to fun land resort in Mexico City. It has been a

stressful journey for the family of three towards Fun Land. Crossing

the border into Mexico the car has been put to a halt.

“Hello sir, can you open the trunk to your car please?” asked the

smartly dressed inspector. The family leader (Jack) stepped out of the

black saloon, walked to the back of the car and opened the trunk. The

inspector has a brief look, “okay clear!” exclaimed the inspector to

his manager. “Have a safe journey” said the inspector politely.

Many miles away from the border crossing half way through the

motorway, the car was speeding through the green rural areas. “This is

such a smoo….” uttered Jack; suddenly the car started shaking.

“What’s happening to the car” says Jack’s wife Jane in a confused

voice.

“Don’t worry its nothing,” replied Jack trying to reassure her.

Getting off the motorway to check the… the car abruptly stopped in a

rundown area, on a deserted road. The area was completely empty, there

were no cars around; not even parked on the curbs. Insights were many

small houses most of them bordered up with wooden boards.

Jack tried many times to start the car, but there was no hope the car

was going to start. “Dad are we there yet” questioned Ryan, who just

woke up because of the sharp stopping of the car,

“Not yet son” replied Jack

“Dad” said Ryan trying to attract Jack’s attention

“Yes! Son!” answered Jack

“Never mind” murmured Ryan to himself, he knew it wasn’t the right

time to ask questions.

Getting out of th...

... middle of paper ...

...without delay Ryan checked that his dad was

still breathing Ryan saw no hope that his dad was alive because his

eyes were closed but maybe he was just unconscious however his dad

started coughing and instantly got back up on his feet.

“Come on we have to go”, boomed Jane. Ryan turned around and that was

when he stopped to catch his breath, there was the killer standing

there ferociously breathing hardly, trying to stay alive with blood

dripping from his begrimed face. Ryan was sweating buckets of fear

and, he couldn’t believe the killer got back up on his feet. The

killer wasn’t standing for long; he collapsed before he could take any

more actions.

The family had made it out of the house alive; they were not even

severely injured, just had a few scratches. This was one vacation they

would always remember.

  • The Unredeemed Captive, by John Demos

    780 Words  | 2 Pages

    At the start of John Demos' book The Unredeemed Captive, a group of Native Americans attack the English town of Deerfield, kidnap a few of its people, and take them to Canada. On October 21, 1703, in response to the attacks, the "Reverend Mr." John Williams, the town's leader, writes to Joseph Dudley, the Governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, for tax relief, funding to rebuild the fort, a prisoner exchange to free the captured residents, and soldiers to protect the town. Governor Dudley agrees to fulfill the reverend's requests, and stations 16 soldiers at the town's fort (Demos 1994, 11-13). In response to English counterattacks, Governor Pierre de Rigaud, the Marquis de Vaudreuil, begins to plan an February "expedition" of 48 French troops and 200 of France's "domiciled Indians." During the expedition, the soldiers destroy the town of Deerfield. Many of the residents that do not manage to flee or hide are killed or captured, including the reverend and his family. The troops then take the captured colonists to Canada, where they will be held hostage in an attempt to negotiate the release of many French prisoners under English control, including Vaudreuil's best "privateer," Pierre Maisonat, the infamous "Captain Baptiste" (Demos 1994, 15-19). In The Unredeemed Captive, Demos uses the incident at Deerfield as a lens to reveal the underlying political, cultural, and religious conflicts in colonist-Native American relations, and those between the European colonizing nations themselves.

  • The Unredeemed Captive, by John Demos

    2243 Words  | 5 Pages

    John Demos' book The Unredeemed Captive examines the story of "Reverend Mr." John Williams, the minister of the church of Deerfield (a town of approximately 300 in the Massachusetts Bay Colony), and his family. The reverend and his wife had many connections to important figures of the time. His father was a shoemaker, farmer, and "ruling elder" in the church at Roxbury. Reverend John Eliot, the minister of the Roxbury church, created many of the "praying towns" in which converted Native Americans worshipped and was New England's "Apostle to the Indians." Reverend Williams' wife, originally named Eunice Mather, was the daughter of Reverend Eleazer Mather, the minister of the church of Northampton in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Increase and Cotton Mather, two of Boston's most famous ministers, were her uncle and first cousin, respectively. Eunice Mather's grandfather, Reverend John Warham, was one of the founders of Conneticut (p. 8-9). The many connections of Reverend John Williams and his wife enabled him to become the leader of Deerfield and one of the town's most important symbols of Puritanism.

    Whereas, when Henry was drafted, not to face his feelings and fears he offered his half of the car to Lyman. Clearly, this was his way of using the car to communicate, as Henry said to Lyman, “Now it’s yours” (326). Also, this could also be considered as a means to try to ease Lyman’s pain. Nevertheless, Lyman fought for the relationship without speaking the words. Besides, what’s more Lyman could not deal with the fact that Henry may not return, and he also used the car to communicate by rejecting his offer saying, “Thanks for the extra key,”(326). By the same token, they were using the car, by giving it up, as a symbol of their love; however, neither wanted the car without the other brother. In any case, without the car to connect them, they are in a break-up

    I woke up in a tiny, unfamiliar bed to the sound of either a gunshot or an engine backfiring. I rolled out of bed onto a cold, artificial feeling floor and squinted as the sun glinted off of the steel bars covering the room’s single window. I put on a fresh set of clothes that someone had hastily folded and dropped on the floor. I took one last look at the window, catching a glimpse of skyscrapers in the distance, and headed out of this new room. Then I stubbed my toe on a stove. The pain immediately cleared the early morning haze in my brain. I definitely wasn't in my own house, I don’t live in a city, have bars over my windows, and my bedroom certainly doesn't open directly into the kitchen.

    My writing as a poet has been heavily influenced by writers like Langston Hughes, Nikki Giovanni, Alice Walker and Slam poets such as Black Thought and the Last Poets. These writers write and speak about the struggles and uniqueness of Black culture. Their individual experiences and political stances as well as the influences of other artist are evident in their work. For example in Giovanni’s poem “Revolutionary Music” she quotes some of the lyrics from Sam Cooke and James Brown to illustrate her personal views on racism and the equal rights movements. Hughes in his piece titled “Message to the President” skillfully incorporates the political events of his time into his poem using it to sardonically articulate his view on racial inequalities that were occurring in his time. Black Thought and the Last Poets utilize jazz and urban hip hop along with their idea of Black to relay their message.
