The first of many stops throughout my travels was an extraordinarily sketchy shack out in the middle of nowhere. Trust me when I say this, a shack is the kindest word I can give it. In reality, it was a decrepit wooden hut that was riddled with holes. Hardly the type a place a diamond of my stature belongs. But alas, I had no control over where I travelled. I could barely see out of the cart itself, my only view was from the tiny cracks in between the planks of wood used to construct our vehicle. Notably, the cart itself I was traveling on wasn’t exactly the highest of quality. Especially compared everything else around me, armed guards for example. Anyways, when we arrived to this shack, I knew something was going to happen. I was …show more content…
Even worse, he was upset that his offer was refused. He was so upset, in fact, that it turned to the point of violence. Luckily, this is what the guards were there for, and they swiftly made quick work of him. We left that shack with a poor man’s left hand, and the blood of two servants on our dagger’s. Luckily, that was more than enough to subdue him. Without delay, I was put back into the cart, and we continued along our way. I would later discover that we were heading to Constantinople, the most active trading hub of all within the ancient world. Sadly, In order to get there we had to travel through miles of barren desert. It was terrible, nothing around us but sand for days. With amazing attractions such as sand, sand, and you guessed it, even more sand. Nevertheless, I refused to just sit there and do nothing. After all, I wasn’t alone in the cart. There were other precious minerals, who had all stayed relatively quiet in my presence, an act that I greatly appreciated. But there were also the previously mentioned empty crates, who apparently had nothing better to do other than moan about how they were hungry. Eventually, enough was enough, and I decided to do something. “Hey, I think we all got the message the after the first hundred miles. We get it, you’re hungry.” I spat out in annoyance, a tad more sarcastic than I meant. One of the crates quickly retaliated with “Jesus, terribly sorry to annoy such an amazing item such as yourself. We
Unfortunately I see this conversation ending with Celeste and Jim both very upset and no solutions to the conflict being discussed. It seems that at the end of this scenario the conflict was beginning to spiral out of control, and communication was shutting down. It will end with Celeste and Jim blowing up at each other and not being willing to understand the others perspective about the situation. They will not talk for a while after this happens and Jim will hire Nikki as he intended to from the beginning. As a negative end to this conflict I see Jim and Celeste looking back over the conflict still trying to defend their position (retrospective goals).
“Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been”, is one of the many short stories written by Mrs. Joyce Carol Oates that has become highly recognized. It was inspired by a magazine story about a serial killer. It quickly it became very popular andwas even the basis for the 1985 hit movie, “SmoothTalk”.

“If you can be our slave for a sum of five winters you may have the sword”
“Sorry about that,” he muttered under his breath. Edward slowly dragged the body towards the door, extracted the keys from the corpse, and shoved it to the side. He systematically tried all the keys that belonged to the guard and let out a quiet sigh of relief when he heard a light snap from the lock. He was free after months of misery. He began to weep with joy but ceased almost immediately. Those tears would be saved for a different date. Now was the time for his revenge. He whispered to himself in the corridor,”Just wait you disgusting barbarians. I will receive my vengeance even if it kills me.”
I went to Burger King with three friends. We walked a long way then I
When i was in 6th grade my family and I lived in Gainesville, Missouri and my grandparents wanted to take us on a road trip, so I had to save up two hundred dollars because me and my sisters were going on a road trip to Monroe, Louisiana with our grandparents. I remember my grandparents giving my sisters and I a piggy bank that counts our money so everytime we would but money in it would tell us our balance. I can remember how excited we were about them we would just take our money out and reset the piggy bank and put all of our money in them and watch the numbers go up. When the trip was a couple months away my grandparents got scammed and the scammers took 2,000 dollars it was devastating because we had to wait to go on the trip so they could get more money.
“We need to go on a vacation since this might be our last summer together.” suggested my dad. This summer my parents and I decided to go on a vacation. We haven’t been on one since I was really little. The week we had planned to go, my sister was in need of a babysitter. My parents made the brave decision to take my twelve-year old niece, Alexis, along for the journey. These eight days showed me the importance of family.

From the time I was a little girl I have always enjoyed traveling. I love how these experiences give me sense of adventure and freedom. I’m grateful for these experiences because they have shaped me into the person I am today. Often times when people think of an event that changed their outlook on life they always focus on the negative experiences. But for me, the moment that really changed my outlook on life was when my family and I took a vacation to Costa Rica. This event has great significance to me because it made me a more grateful, patient, and outgoing person.
By his wrist chains, the man was pull forward, and he shouted out in pain and desperate prayer as he became aware of what awaited him. The townspeople laughed, scoffing at his futile attempt. By their accounts, this man was a criminal, an encroacher on their way of life, and a radical who was trying to pervert the minds of their young. Something had to be done to stop his thinking.

Neigh! Ray drew his bow back with the immense power of his shoulder muscles. As his bay horse, Blaze, Reared on his hind legs, voom, voom, voom, Ray picked of as many defenders as possible. Then, he jumped off his horse, pulled out his sword of fire, and stored plowing his way like a battering ram.

Ray pulled out the arrow in his chest, and turned to face the new challenge.

Family, new experiences and memories are three things I get from buying a ticket to travel. Buying a ticket to travel outside the country can open so many doors and can teach you a lot from the other places you visit. My whole life I have been traveling in and out of mexico and that is my favorite place to go. Growing up getting use to going to Mexico I paid little attention to what was actually going on when i would travel. Traveling truly meant getting away from reality, having freedom, and getting to know yourself better. These three things have been developing every time i would travel and will continue every single time i continue to repeat the pattern. Many new possibilities can appear just by buying a single ticket that can help you view everything differently in a matter of time.
