The story Freedom Walkers talks about how racism was bad back then and how African Americans were treated poorly i feel like why would someone treat somebody bad just because of the color or nationality it’s rude how people talk about you just because that’s how you look.

In the story it stated that black people had to take a test but whites didn’t and even if the blacks were so smart and intelligent it didn’t matter they didn’t pass because the white people rigged the test so that they wouldn’t pass if you have the ability to be

Technology has become such a necessity of daily life. In the short story, “The Pedestrian” time is set in the future of 2053 A.D.

Technology negatively affects society by leading to a lack of individuality and antisocial behavior.

One day, Mike was walking on Maple Ave. All of a sudden he felt twinge of pain. He had no idea what hit him. It was a fierce pain in the right leg. He looked all around but couldn’t see anyone or anything that could’ve done anything to him. All of a sudden, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a very apparent figure.

Pulling her hand away from the doorknob, she turned around and addressed Sylvia. “You got five seconds to me what the source of that noise was, before I open the closet door.”

“Thank you so much,” a voice boomed. “I didn’t have to do anything, you just came to me. I feel so appreciated,”

What could have happen and why does it smell so disgusting? Jewel was lying unconscious, what’s that noise? “Jewel get up!” She turned slowly, oh my god!
