“I got up and pretended to study the pictures on the walls like I was a lover of religious art. When I got to the Merciful Mother right above Sinita’s head, I reached in my pocket and pulled out the bottom I’d found on the train. It was sparkly like a diamond and had a little hole in back so you could thread a ribbon through it and wear it like a romantic lady’s choker necklace. It wasn’t something I’d do, but I could see the button would make a good trade with someone inclined in that direction.

To tackle the housing affordability, first of all, it is crucial to lift the supply of housing as it will release the pressure on the housing price. Nevertheless, the supply of housing is inelastic as it requires an adequate fund, time, approval from the Government. Besides, the housing system is heavily dependent on the private sector. Thus, the Government should provide initiatives for housing providers to shift the supply of houses in the market. Australia would follow the policies from other countries to tackle the housing affordability. However, it has to fit in the Australian context. These policies might work well in other places but it does not mean that it will be applicable in Australia. The Singapore Government has a public

1. Understand how legislation, frameworks, codes of practice and policies relate to positive behaviour support.

My heart pounded against my ribs. My throat was dry, but I had no one to talk to through the harrowing experience that I had just endured. My backpack not only weighed down my body, but also my morale. I looked around, but there was nobody in sight. Purposefully twisted metal and bright green trees encompassed me. I knew where I was. But I was lost.

Even though the drill sergeant told us to keep our heads down, I couldn’t help but peek my head up just to see what is out the window. All I saw was the beautiful blue sky with no clouds in site, and the sun just smiling down on us. The bus stopped at the destination, and I felt my heart stopped as if it was the last time I ever get to see the world. Out of nowhere the same drill sergeant with the mega phone was outside of my bus and started yelling at us with all his might. We could sense fear and terror in the atmosphere as the drill sergeant started pull us out of the bus one by one. The closer I got to the drill sergeant the clearer I got to see every vein and artery throbbing out of his neck and for every word he said you can see them pumping a heartbeat. Once I was able to get my focus from all the scatterings another drill sergeant was yelling at me to run up this hill that look as if it was Mount Rushmore but covered in grass and surrounded by privates but in a far distance look like ants. So I ran to the top acting like it was the end of my life and that I running away from the bulls like how the Spaniards do when they have their annual running with the bulls. Running to the top of the hill was harder than excepted. After finally reaching the top I stopped to catch my breath for my lungs felt as if they’re balloons and someone squeezed all the air out of

A million thoughts were running through my head as we drove from Savannah, Georgia International Airport in the dead of night. I along with 50 other new recruits were herded on to a bus and told to put our heads down as they drove around for what seemed like hours. The recruiters used this as a disorienting and scare tactic, so we would have no idea where we were. As we arrived at Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, I thought to myself, “holy shit, am I really doing this?” As the bus pulled to a stop a drill instructor stepped on to the bus. He began shouting unintelligible words at us in a raspy, gruff voice. The only words I was able to understand were “off” and “bus”. I didn’t give it a second thought, I was off the bus as fast

Sally Dingo the author of Ernie Dingo the King of the Kids, positions us as we read through the book for us to feel almost we had known him all through his life, and that we are like mates toward him. we may feel sympathy for one of their beloved family member dies or admiration for Ernie’s sporting talents in basketball, he was usually called ‘show pony’.

“Attention, soldiers of the Continental army, the patriots of our colonies!” George Washington shouted, drawing attention to himself as he stood. The whispers along with mumbles stopped, every person bringing their attention to the general as he stood from top to bottom as well as proud. “I will explain quickly what the plan of action is before I separate you. One through five-thousand, you will be going with Lafayette, blocking their escape from Yorktown, waiting in the Chesapeake Bay! Alexander, I believe you had something to say to our people of the colonies?”

What was happening? I couldn't move my legs feeling helpless the lowest one could ever feel, my arms frozen as they were sucked into the wet dirt and mud. Moreover, as I look around steam fogged all around me with red and orange flames rising and deflating in a synchronized pattern. Screams, cries for help filled my bleeding hot ears. This could not be happening, my eyes wide open, hands quivering, legs are frozen, as I tried to get up hearing boisterous, and defining sounds of loud thumps dropping from the sky. At this point, reality had sunk in. We were being bombed by the enemies. My veins overflowing with anxiety as it traveled all over my body through my muscles, and deep into my fingernails. I grab a broken metal piece of garbage of the fighter plane that had crashed near me while I attempt balancing on it as I try to push myself off hoping to find the inner hope and courage to get up and rescue my fellow peers and

It was a crisp and clear winter morning and down at the training field was platoon #155 working on battle positions and communication. This is where our character is starting out their career as a soldier and is working to fight on the front lines. They were doing their job right in a way but no one else was doing it like that. So to everyone else they looked quite stupid and were given looks like they were a headless bird running around. It's like they think that people don’t notice. Most people would think all of the platoon was like this because it was a recruit training group and wasn’t a very great one either. Though something felt different, even though it looked weird it worked better than what was in the books. Based on the

As they moved closer, Calvin noticed a someone speaking at a podium on a makeshift stage. From the distance, he noticed that many of the people in the crowd were middle-aged white men draped Confederate States of America paraphernalia. Upon noticing this, he signaled his family to go to the nearby pond without him as he’d catch up later. Janice took the kids to the pond while Calvin walked toward the crowd. When he arrived, about 30 yards from the podium, he recognized the man speaking. It was none other than Billy Cobb Guidry. In front of all these people, he spoke of white power, “niggers taking our country”, and “Mexicans going back where the hell they came from”. As the only black person anywhere in sight, Calvin left the scene filled

I could feel my blisters pop on the bottom of my feet, and hear guys huffing and puffing gasping for air. The mud was thick, and covered in maggots. The gun I admired so much was now my enemy. I couldn’t bear to carry it another step, and knew if I dropped it they would add on an additional four miles to our endless run. I didn’t want to be the one to get blamed for that. Just as I felt the gun slipping through my hands, a voice finally shouted hold. I thought it was God himself that saved us. I fell to the ground knees first as the sweat poured over my body. I could hear Jessi gasping for air behind me. I felt my stomach tighten up, as if I was gonna shit my intestines out. My head got lighter, and the mud started to feel like the soft blanket my mom gave me to sleep on. That’s my stomach gave way and I started to vomit all over my camouflage uniform. My fellow cadets tried to pick me up, but I could no longer stand. Jessi ran through the thick fog to get water for me screaming “hang tight.” I remembered watching Ross look at me as I went in and out consciousness. My ears started to ring, my vision went blurry, and the sky went red before going dark. I laid on my back with my hands on my gun scared to death thinking, this is it. A circle was formed around me, and I finally passed

“All of you courageous men are doing a noble work. Your heavenly Father shall inevitably reward you,” declared Father Lebeau after ending the Mass, “those people of perdition, the Scandinavians, are in most definite need of the Holy Word. However, their wrathful and barbaric ways prevent any diplomatic and peaceful sessions from taking place. It disheartens me to say, but one of the king’s messengers has given us word that dragon-framed ships are en route to this very coast.”

Have you ever been stuck between traveling the world or going to school, but not really sure where to star?

It was a normal day on May 24, 1955. It been one year since we began the war with Russia. At Lincoln High School during 4th period at 11:34 a.m. David and Kate were working together on a group project when there was a surprise announcement on the loudspeaker. It was Mrs. Seaney. She said “Sorry for the disturbance but the military will now be taking some of our students into war. The Government will take five boys and three girls from every high school in California. The five boys will be Chris, John, Greg, Philip, and David”. When David heard his name announced, the was in shock and could hardly breathe. Everyone else in the class whose name was not called, had a sigh of relief. Kate was sad and felt sorry for the boys because she knew
