Personal Narrative-Selling Baggy

You wake up in a dimly-lit room laying down, your back flat on a cold table, facing unfamiliar men standing over you. You attempt to move, but your arms and legs are strapped down leaving you completely defenseless. Panicking, you begin to scream, but your screams are cut short as a wet cloth is laid over your face. You feel water being poured over the cloth and you begin choking; you can’t breathe; you are drowning. You are being waterboarded. What you just experienced was one of many common interrogation techniques used to pry information from suspected terrorists at Guantanamo Bay naval base. These techniques,

A new congressional report was released last week detailing the controversial CIA torture program during the years following the September 11 attacks on the twin towers. The report detailed several despicable ways detainees were treated at various CIA black sites, detainees endured waterboarding, sleep deprivation, confinements, rectal feeding and death from hypothermia. The most despicable aspect of the report was that psychiatrists, psychologist, and some physicians originated some of the torture techniques used by the CIA.

One student, Katelyn Bramble-Plotcher, had this to say about the threats made, “I think the whole clown situation was horrible and people need to think more of what they are doing. This caused many people fear and stress.”

“I didn't even know I looked like a monster — like I look like a freaking horrible monster. That was not my intention at all.”

Clowns are draped all over social media and the news. People are using clown outfits just to get a popular video up on the internet. Clowns showing up by lampposts and chasing people around city streets. They send a mind crippling fear into people when they think of being in a situation with a killer clown. Imagine walking down what could be any street when you look down an old dirt road that you have passed a million times; You see it, it is what looks to be a blood thirsty clown waiting for a victim. Ironically it is most likely a guy who wants a funny video or just trying to get a good Halloween scare. A killer clown who is actually just a regular guy in a clown mask from Target... wait Target has missed out on huge clown mask sales due

“Greetings USA. This is Clark Kid, of the DC Review, bringing you the latest in important news from anywhere and everywhere on our planet.”

Standing behind the red sign that read “Canadian Delicacy,” I Jeered “five dollar poutine!” with the widest smile I could muster. Selling Poutine is not just the exchange of Canadian carbohydrates for a five-dollar bill; it is an understanding of people. Empathy, if you will.

Well if you say so I get started. It all began in a time where you could walk down a street and get exhausted by only doing five minutes of walking; yes I'm talking about a few weeks ago. I was going to a place where all the scum of humanity goes to shop, Walmart. It was father and I who he mention I say that he is the most handsome person in the family, but anyway we just entered the abyss known as Walmart. I was tasked with acquiring the cart. As I caught up to him I accidentally hit him with it and he believes I purposely did it. After we got passed that I got angry about how he blamed me for an accident. So as we entered the dog toy aisle I began my plan by grabbing the pig squeaker toy and letting it rip. So throughout the store I continued

30 days. There are 30 days until I, Brittany Nicole turn 16. In my world turning 16 doesn’t mean having a big sweet 16 birthday party, it means you’re officially a citizen of the world and nothing bad will happen as long as you are branded, at least that’s what we all thought.

My best friend forever says that I'm not as nice to her as I am to the guy who sells me his checked out library books. But finding fantastic deals makes my soul burn brighter, and I will never apologize for that.

"So, we did a little research about you and found out that you father is really something. And I'm guessing that's what fueled your little act this morning huh?" Now he had a little mocking smirk on and while it looked quite good on him it was equally scary.

Nevertheless, this is not the first time in which spontaneous clown appearances  have provoked fear in societies. Similar events took place in Boston in the 1970s and movies and tv shows since then have been large factors in nurturing fearful mindsets concerning clowns in general.

A recent statement by the World Clown Association puts this issue into perspective, a portion of which is quoted:

I stood beside my opponent, gave her a hug and wished her luck. Then I waited. In the spring of my junior year I heard the words, “And your 2017-2018 North Central District Secretary is….” In the winter of my sophomore year, I decided to run to be an FFA District officer. I filled out the application and prepared myself for the potential questions they could ask. I went to the interview feeling prepared but nervous. After my group interview, I waited patiently for my individual interview and felt content. After my interview, I felt that I had done my best. On the long drive home, I would wait for the ballot to come out. Early the next morning, I woke up and looked at the email I had received. It was the ballot! But my

My friend got to my house around three to pick me up and we left almost immediately. Driving to Washington was entertaining, but it was weird to be going somewhere without parents. The spent most of the drive talking about the upcoming school year, listening to the radio, and genuinely enjoying ourselves. We got to Washington safely, and the first place we stopped was at a makeup store called Ulta because there were a few things I had been needing to pick up. Like most girls when they enter a makeup store, we took our time and made sure to look at every single one of the products that we passed. As you can imagine, we were in the store for quite some time and we started to get hungry. Since I had breakfast that morning I wasn’t starving, but
