The music blared so loud through the speakers at the bar and grill MacGowan's Haven, that Alannah Chambers worked at that she had to shout in order for her customers to hear her. "What would you like sir?" She yelled at the middle aged man on the other side of the counter. He was a heavy set man with thinning salt and pepper colored hair and thick glasses, he wore faded blue jeans and a blue shirt that looked like it seen better days. Lots of them. He had a mustard stain on his shirt too that he hadn't bothered to wipe up. "Uh, I'll take a beer and a piece of that ass babe," he said, and grinned wickedly at her. If it had been a few years sooner, Alannah would have ignored him, but not this time, she was done with little-miss-shy-girl that

Every fool and child knows that crossroads are magical places. Places where one might encounter things not easily found elsewhere. Where the desperate might cut a deal with a demon, and where the world-weary might find themselves crossing into another place or time. Every fool and child knows these things,

On 05/14/17, I was dispatched to 2440 W. Madison in reference to an assault that occurred at the location. When I arrived on scene, I contacted the caller identified as Jordan Lundy. Lundy stated he was with his girlfriend and they went to the dispatched address to speak with her cousin.
The central argument of McDonald’s work is that Ryerson didn’t promote public education as a social reform, but rather as a form of social control. According to Burke and Milewski, “McDonald views Ryerson not as a humanitarian reformer but rather as a member of the elite determined to use public schooling to ensure a docile and loyal citizenry”(pg 37). This idea of McDonald's work is confirmed by McDonald himself by his views towards what is key to a stable and loyal political system. According to McDonald, “the minds of youth have always been viewed as the key to political loyalty and social stability” (pg 39). This idea that if the young minds of the next generation can be controlled by a centralized government run system, the system will mold the children to socially conform to what the government, i.e. the elites who run the government, wants.

Leaves crunched under my feet as I ran from the police officer. Out of the corner of my eye, I spied a set of rectangular eyes on a porch. I ran to the door and knocked. “Trick or treat!” A hand reached out and placed
I can't stop thinking of Darry tonight. His crying really left me BEWILDERED. Sodapop and I ain't ever seen Darry cry before. He's always put on a strong face for us, I never thought I'd be the one to open the floodgates, I thought he hated me. For a while it actually almost felt like Darry wasn't even human, just someone there to constantly nag us, well, mainly me. Thinkin' back though I know "Darry did care about me, maybe as much as he cared about Soda, and because he care, he was trying too hard to make something of me.". I mean, it is my fault he gave up his future, sure would make sense that he'd want to dictate mine. That's also been going through my head a lot. Darry could be living near those Socs, over in the west side. I keep on
Standing in the one hundred hallway, I look across the circle of my friends and I staring at Madison's face with the annoyed look on my face, like usual. Mackie’s standing there going on and on about how amazing her life is. Today the topic is about her clothes, and
Mandy and the Story of Courage This is me, Mandy. I’m a twelve-year-old girl. I have brown hair always in pigtails. Sadly, I’m an orphan because when I was two, my parents thought I wasn’t good enough for them. But look on the bright side, I’m in a cool, small orphanage with the manager, Ms. Lomesto, in charge. I actually made these cool two friends Lisa and Betty, but they aren’t that right for me because they always want to sneak out of the orphanage. I’m not smart like them, so it doesn’t work. Anyway, my dream is to go to the Fun Fair because of the cotton candy, the games, and the prizes! But that will never happen because we can’t escape the orphanage.
Then they went away for the weekend, mom and dad, and things got bad, real bad. I thought things were bad before, but that weekend was hell. My parents arrived home to flashing blue and red lights and me crying on the doorstep; all cuts and bruises and torn clothes and him being bundled into the back of a police car.
I wish Joey would fight for me...if he loves me, he will fight for me, right? No...Joey will never fight for me or make the marriage work. In his heart, he believes that our marriage is over when our baby died...he is the most stubborn man I had ever met. Instead of saying that we are too incompatible, and if our baby survives...why can't he and I just forget the damn past and make the marriage work? Why can't he and I try again for another baby? Why must he makes it so damn hard for the both of us? Why is he so damned stubborn? Why?! Damn...I will never understand and I don't want to...maybe I should just move on and find someone who truly value me and never give up on me like he did...
