Eleanor Roosevelt's Reflective Essay: The Spider Bite

I covered my mouth to keep it shut and not say anything. He was wearing black boots and black pants. I could see him running towards the open window in a hurry. Maybe he thought i jumped out or something. He began to run towards the stairs. “He’s leaving” i whispered… But there was no answer, I realized that the call was cut. The man was stepping down the stairs… when all of a sudden there was a loud ringtone coming from my hand. There was then a panic in my heart. The man rushed back into my room and entered, There was a moment of silence when all i could see was the man’s black boots staring straight at my eyes. When suddenly there was a powerful pull dragging me out of the bed. Closing my eyes all i could feel is was extrucenary pain all over my body, every second. I reached out for anything near by so I could at least fight. I felt something from the tip of my fingers. I got a grip of something and swung as hard as I could, I hit him hard. The man fell back. I opened my eyes and there he was, Lying on the ground. Weak and hurt i got up and slowly started walking out of my room and down the stairs. My whole body hurt it was hard to move. I heard the man start to get up, I was terrified. I decided to walk to the basement door to try and hide. I remembered the small door that was in the basement. And went gently to open the door. Weak and in pain I was able to get down the old sketchy stairs and move some boxes to open the door. I opened the door. On the other side was a little room. It was dark and had a little bit of light coming from the outside. Maybe the moon light from the outside. I sat on the small corner of the room.I wrapped my arms around my body to try and stay warm. It was quiet for a second. Until I heard the basement door slam open. The man's foot steps were loud and you could tell he wasn't very happy. I could easily read exactly where he was. He was looking for me,

I broke mine and read it all it said was “You’ll die on the morrow by the mysterious stranger.” I was puzzled at first thinking there no ways this could happen. We left and moved on with our lives. Later that night I heard a loud thud and my wife wasn’t in bed with me. I figured she went downstairs to get a drink, I went to sleep again, 20 minutes later I heard another loud thud and both boys were missing. I stood there worrying where they went. all of a sudden a loud crash came from downstairs. I went down there and I was knocked with what felt like a bat. I woke up later tied to a chair while the kids and the wife sat there tied across from me in the basement. “I told you you were going to die and you didn’t listen now look what I got to do.” He drew a knife and sliced my lower gut open. I screamed I told him to stop but and he did but not the way I wanted to he let me suffer for 6 minutes before I started passing out. Before I went to sleep for good I looked up to my kids and wife and they sat there

It began the morning of September 1, we slept soundly through the night as we had always, but this time it was different. I heard ringing from the hallway but I wasn’t sure what it was, I peeked through the doorway,there was a creature standing there about to come in my room I slammed his head in and he suddenly stopped. As I went back to sleep and after five minutes I heard it again, this time the creature

All I could see was people running and driving away. I was starting to tell my self should I run away too ? Then I finally told my self nah i don't feel like running so I go back into the house and just look around. I start thinking to myself how hard is the tornado going to hit my house. I was low key scared. I was about done getting all my things ready. So I get in the closet already and a couple of minutes pass I start getting hungry so I hop up out the closet and walk to the kitchen to make me a sandwich. As I'm making a sandwich I can hear people screaming and driving away fast. I take a look there's nothing when I hear a big "bang" I take another look and see the tornado tearing down a house. I wasn't done making my sandwich so I take it to the closet with me. I'm sitting down finishing making my snack and I can hear a cars alarms going off I start getting nervous. I finally hear parts of my house tear I drop my sandwich and start praying. All I telling myself is God help me. I hear glass flying also I could hear a lot of wind it stays on top of my house for a while. After 10 minutes it's over I open my eyes and see half of my house gone. What I thought was supposed to be a good day never happened. I walk out everything is a mess I open the door but as I opening it the door falls. When I'm outside I see the

Dear diary, ug that sound so cheesy! I normally don't write a journal, but what happened i just had to write down. For one and a half weeks i have been at sleep-away girl scout camp. We had just finished a long day bouldering at rattle snake gorge and I was ready for bed! All i wanted was a good undisturbed night's sleep. But no, it had to come. But i'm getting ahead of myself. It all started when i woke up to a soft thud. At first i assumed someone was going to the bathroom. But when i looked around i saw a tall shadowy creature. It was 7 ft tall pure black with glowing amber eyes. Each of its fingers were three feet long and dripped who knows what. It looked me in the eyes and and more in my head than out loud, “can

I go to the kitchen to eat breakfast, and to my surprise, there was no more of my favorite cereal, HONEY NUT CHEERIOS!!!!! But wait, I’m not done yet that wasn’t even the worst thing….. Yet. The milk was all gone and we had to buy more, which we did…… after we left the house to go to the vacation. CURSE MY BAD LUCK!!! We had to eat the oatmeal or bread that was left in the fridge. I wasn’t very happy but it was alright, unless that’s what I thought. I think it was my first year in Fountain Woods (4th Grade year) and I kind of liked it. Go to my classroom to give my teacher a present. As I’m on my way to her classroom, I fall down the stairs and I was near the top. I go back upstairs to her classroom, give a little speech, and give the whole class a hug, at the same time. You think that there is no problem, there actually was a problem. When I was home, I may have drowned myself with cologne, which had a really nice scent, so it may have been really hard to get out the classroom.I’m walking downstairs but trip over the stairs and fall all the way down the stair. I get to the car we were driving to go to Canada, it was burning so much that I felt that I was melting in the car. So I decided to fall to asleep. We arrive at our location at midnight and I was still tired. I think I may have slept until 1 P.M . So thinking back at that day, I knew that today was a start of something amazing. Then I later fall on a car because I was daydreaming. I knew something bad was going

Creek! Went my door as something entered my home. My heart thumped faster than it ever had before. I stood there frozen holding my breath. The only sound I heard was the plop of my tear as it hit the kitchen floor. All of a sudden I heard thumping as the thing that entered my house was walking up the stairs. Tip-toeing I went over to the counter grabbed the phone. My heart jumped as I heard clashing and clattering from upstairs. I flipped open my phone and dialed the numbers 9-1-1.

One day in Michigan, we decided to go to Lake Michigan. We went to the beach. It was one of those it's-very-windy type of days. At the beach there was giant dunes the size of small mountains. So we decided to climb up the dunes. When we got to the top it looked like we could see the whole world. My mom and Justin decided to walk down the safe path.. Me on the other I decided to run down the sandy dune. So I ran as fast as I could jumping when you jump it feels like you jumped the the whole dune when I got to the middle I jumped again and when I landed the was a log in front of me I hit the log and tumbled the whole way down the dune. Once I stopped I realized how much I got hurt. I had cuts all over me and a giant scar that

It was October 26, 2015 on a Monday 3:30pm in the evening I arrived home , my friends Halima, Christina , Unique , Autumn and my sister went on a hike at the Crescent Trail it was very interesting.

“¡Mamá! ¡despiértate por favor!” I tried turning her over my hand touched some kind of liquid I lifted my hand up and my fingertips were painted red I quickly turned her over and a black hole layed on her chest blood oozing from it a 44 caliber bullet sat right in the middle. I heard movement behind me even through the terror in my head. I snapped my head around and saw a man dressed in normal clothes sneaking towards the front door. I jumped up and ran to him holding him by his collar against a wall.

A woman is a lot like a tea bag-you can’t tell how strong she is until you put her in hot water.” This is one of Eleanor Roosevelt’s famous quotes that demonstrates her character, she believes that women are powerful people who are more capable of things than they are portrayed to be. Eleanor is one of the most influential woman in history, she believes in equal rights for all individuals. Therefore she should be the spokesperson for UNICEF. “UNICEF is a company that works in 190 countries and territories to save children’s lives, to defend their rights, and to help them fulfil their potential.” UNICEF looks for people like Eleanor. She was bullied and knows what it is like to be treated unequally, she fights for what’s right, and she’s selfless.

I awoke with a throbbing headache which soon heightened my senses towards the outside world, it was cold and dark, with a sense of death in the air. After I climbed out of my cot a spine tingling scream filled the air which was usual, but this one sounded familiar in a way that made me cringe. It was an old friend whom I had not seen in years. As I ran out of my bunker, I stood watching as a woman was dragged by her hair into the alley by the Hungry and the woman cried for help only to get hit repeatedly until she

It was a sunny day and there was a nice sap smell in the air and I was heading towards the bus stop. My friends, Brise and Conner were waiting at the buss stop and I went up to them and we started talking about random stuff and then we got on the bus. and headed towards the school and we arrived and i saw that i was wearing a leather jacket and blue jeans and my hair was combed back with jell. Then I walked into the school and I went to my math class and the homework was easy because it was on how to turn a fraction into a decimal

It was Tuesday in Washington DC, an ordinary day, or so I thought it would be. It was March 25, 2017 and I was 12 years old. That morning I was walking to school, when a rusty, black, GMC van, rounded the corner and trailed slowly behind me. I saw two figures out of the corner of my eye, their faces hidden by masks with a skull sketched on the front of it. Immediately, I took off running, the figures in the van pursued me down a dark, narrow alley. The alley came to an abrupt stop, I was trapped. The two figures slowly emerged from the van. I felt hopeless and scared, kicking and screaming, I tried to fight them off but it was no use. Tattered and bruised they threw me in the van like a rag doll. That day my life changed dramatically, and I
