Knock! Knock! Knock! Knock! There was a knock the door late at night. There was a letter, it was from the manager at the sunny slope apartments. The next morning we opened the letter. It said we were getting evicted. We didn’t know why. But we knew what it meant, we had to move! We were so worried, because we didn’t know where we could move or even worst of all we didn’t know if we were going to have to move a different school. I had been at that school my whole life, and known all of my friends there.

getting ready and i noticed that my basket full of food was empty. ‘Those darn animals must of

Dwelling about my own feelings led the direction of frustration and anger as I grew older, feeling for anybody’s feelings or situations, almost non-existent; don’t miss-understand, I had marvelous times and a caring person to an extent. Growing slowly into a person whose true character lived in a cage, confined to prison and when released, it was madness, not intending to only injure, I wanted to see blood, tasting this flavor in my mouth before a confrontation. Choosing who I wanted to associate with and if others left me alone there was no problem, although, at the end of the sixth grade the nestling soul fell asleep. There was a boy in school that began tormenting me every day walking home; undesirable name calling. Eventually deciding to

After many long weeks it seem to Rhoda, she finally going to Minnesota and learn so many new things. “Rhoda time to say goodbye to everyone,” Rhoda mother Pippi Mississippi yelled from downstairs. Rhoda closed her suitcase and ran downstairs with it. She smiled at her parents and all her friends, she hugged her friends Olivia, Amelia, and Ezra. “We will miss,” Amelia said. “Yeah, just because you are going to be gone for month does not me you cannot call us,” Ezra stated. Rhoda just stared at all three of her friends, Ezra was the tallest of the bunch and sometimes they called him big foot, Olivia is very athletic and loves to have a good time, and Amelia was the most emotional person of the bunch and sometimes very hard to be around. But, as she looked at her friends she knew she would miss them very much. “Group hug,” Olivia yelled as she made that motion to hug. “Guys I will be gone for one month nothing that big,” Rhoda said after their hug. They all smiled at each other as Rhoda dad begun to speak, “I think it time for you hoodrats to leave.” “I agree with him,” Rhoda mom Pippi said. “Well goodbye Rhoda Minnesota,” Olivia said as they walked out of Rhoda’s house. “Well do you have everything?” Murray asked Rhoda. That was a good question, Rhoda thought to herself; a question like that is hard to answer because a you never know what you need or what you have to have. Rhoda looked at her suitcase and

“Oh I see where we took a wrong turn,” Kelley sighed with relief, “We have to take a right and then go straight all the way to that bridge.” They began walking, all relieved that they found a way out of the sticky situation that they were in. “I see our mom,” Will announced as they walked up towards their mom. Finally they reached Kelley and Will’s mom, “Why do you all look so nervous and sweaty?” Their mom questioned. All four of them laughed, “Just a bit nervous from the rides,” Makayla stuttered with an uneasy look on her face. Kelley and Will’s mom just looked at them and replied with, “Alright well it’s about 3 o’clock now, we have about four to five hours left before we need to leave so when it is 6:30 come and meet me back here and then we can leave.” Kelley nodded in agreement and laughed, “Yes ma'am.” Several hours passed by and it was now time for these four crazy teens to get going, “I’m so glad we found that map,” Kristin stated as her and Will walked out the exit gate. “Me too, I don’t know what we would of done without that map,” he whispered

today I took a jog and a walk. for me when ever I get out doors it opens my mind. I think clearer and deeper and more steady. alone, kinda quiet but not super quiet, time to my self, getting my mind off all this school shit, it was nice for once and gave me a lot of stress relive and problem solving. I needed it, but at the same time the things I was thinking about and solving would make a great story for a paper. now I know where to turn if I'm completely stuck and out of good ideas for a paper or story that I need to write in the future.

The aspect that related to me the most this week was the chapter on relocation. My relocation was actually pretty self-centered in that I wanted to be close to my family after having a child. I remember growing up in Kankakee and coming back for a year after undergraduate studies and having big dreams for the city of Kankakee, but none of these dreams were involved with my decision to move back. When Perkins opens up with the chapter of relocation there is a statement that stood out to me in regard to this matter. “Of the three R’s that anchor the guiding philosophy of the Christian community development movement, relocation is clearly the most distinctive and troublesome.” (Perkins, 75) Relocation to the Kankakee area was easy, because

The lift shocked to a stop and Martin was certain that he heard metal on metal rub. As Martin looked up for a short second, he could see a little square trap door at the top of the lift, just before the light began to flash. On, Off, On, Off.

One day there was the new family moving into that one goes near or walk by. It was their first day in Douglas, Georgia. Their names were Tamesha Burch and Doran Burch, the dad. Jakobe Burch and Jamesha Burch, the twins, Doran Jr. Burch, their brother. They got out their cars and walked slowly into the house they opened the fence door. They walked on the stairs, they were creaking. Doran walked in first and yelled,’’Is anyone in here?’’ Everybody walked slowly behind him. They walked into the house and the door slammed behind them and they heard a loud screech from the backyard and went outside to see what it was………….there was nothing there. They walked farther out there a black cat jumped out of the bushes and limped towards the family and spurred on their leg. Doran asked,’’Can we keep him mom

A few minutes later, they arrived at her apartment. Phyllis lived at the Laurel Ridge complex, room 105C, a lower Willow floor plan located just next to the entrance. As Phyllis parked the car, she got out her iPhone 5c to send a text message before unlocking the car door and getting out, Jeffrey quickly followed her, carrying his DVD's in a grocery bag. Phyllis grabbed her keys and unlocked the door, opening it for Jeffrey. Jeffrey rushed into the apartment, walked over to the couch and lied down on it, sighing heavily as if he were exhausted.

When I found out that my family and I were moving, I was shocked. I admit, when they had brought up the subject before I hadn’t exactly denied the idea, and I was actually okay with it. But I had no idea that it would actually happen. I knew that this change would be difficult, but I wasn’t aware of how much it would affect me.

The year was 1994 and you had officially been with your boyfriend Tate for two years. You laid in his bed cuddling with him. He was talking to you about the world, his mother, his siblings, Kurt Cobain, and everything else. His voice had a calming effect on you and you thought anything he said would have relaxed you. “My mom gave me another speech about not knocking you up,” Tate said.

Before leaving the office, which was clearly designed by the driving force of the new Chief of Staff occupying it, which at a glance might have appeared to be more medical library than office; Katherine checked her watch for the time. It had been a long day and there were forty-eight more hours of it. God, she thought, would this day never end? But closing the door behind her, she put exhaustion aside and proceeded to take her place in line with the others – at the trough down the hall.

He stops moving against her and holds his head up, “Jada, make no mistake this is all mine (He inserts his fingers in her vagina) and…I can keep you in a room and fuck you for days.”
