I awoke to the sound of the baby monitor crackling with a voice comforting my first born child. As I adjusted to a new position my arm brushed against my wife, sleeping next to me. The voice sang softly, “Hush little baby, don’t say a word momma’s going to buy you a mockingbird.” My first instincts tell me to reach for my gun in the drawer, in my nightstand, and next to my bed. So I listen. The voice singing grows softer and softer. I shake my wife’s arm until she awakes. She looks frightened,

Helen calls them the “Hurrah!” buttons. L2 + R2 + both analog sticks held upwards. Whenever she wins the most points on a LittleBigPlanet level, she presses these buttons, and her grinning Sackgirl lifts both arms in the air in wordless celebration. My Sackboy, meanwhile, tends to scowl and storm off the side of the screen, fists clenched. Or, after a particularly stressful level, he might pull out a frying pan and hit Helen’s Sackgirl over the head. Helen tends to take losing slightly better. She

March 2005, little did I know my life would be forever changed. A beautiful person with a handsome face announced his presence as Sergeant King. I was blind to the revelation that he would be the love of my life...my soul-mate. How could a person give so much love to another person? I don't know, but it happened to me. I never believed in love at first sight; however, I am now convinced that it's not about sight, but more about seeing. I see now that love doesn't have a bell that rings or butterflies

" (Chopin 159, chapter 39 (different version of book)) In beginning of The Awakening, caged birds symbolize Edna's entrapment. She is trapped in the roles of wife and mother. The caged birds serve as symbols of the entrapment of the Victorian women in general.

1. "Conscience is a dreadful thing when it accuses a man or boy... If ever anybody's hair stood on end with terror, mine must have done so then. But, perhaps, nobody's ever did?"(Dickens, 11) Charles Dickens increasingly captures the terror felt by a kid who has to do something of meaning or of great responsibility.

Since she could remember, Josie was a victim to numerous sleeping illnesses, such as the terrifying sleep paralysis, the common sleep walking, and these all caused her insomnia.

The quote "Words are sacred. They deserve respect. If you get the ones, in the right order, you can nudge the world a little." - Tom Stoppard Yes, I do agree with Tom Stoppard because words are powerful, the way Tom described it is how it does not matter who says it, but what is presented. For example in my experience as a grizzly being put on the varsity team does not mean you become popular instantly, it's the way you play the game and get known for your skills and earn the popularity.

Chapter 1 Part 1: Tyler All I could remember was darkness. I don't know what happened to land me in the dimly lit room. My entire body ached and it was a surprise I could stand as I held onto the frame after nearly rolling right out of the bed I had found myself in. Nobody would answer me when I spoke to them and not a soul even looked my direction in the quiet, sterilized halls. A sharp pain arose in my chest with every movement. I glanced around, only to realize I was in a recognized hospital,
