     When the satellite crashes to Earth, the special team of four people that the government had previously selected, was called to this building. They had samples of the organism, which was found by other people at the crash site sent to the building. They were going to use this sample to research the organism. They hoped to find out what it was and how it killed all of the people who lived in the small town in Arizona. Everything was going well with the research, until the virus started eating through plastic containers and the sterile suits that the workers were wearing. After time, almost all of the workers who were in the building had been killed by this virus. The only person that lived out of the five people who were on the selected team was Mark Hall.

There was an eerie silence as she walked down the corridor. Click clack click clack.. The sound of her footsteps echoed off the walls. She glanced out the window, the clouds were rolling in a deep black front. The trees were contorting from the wind, flashes of lightning illuminate her face. Those soft, caring eyes, and gorgeous brown hair. The epitome of perfection. She quickly pulls herself away from the window, she can't be distracted. Not now. Patient 13 had escaped and she was the only staff in. tick.. tick.. tick.. tick.. Time was running out, she had to find the patient before the storm hit. She had checked every floor except for this one; floor #2. Something seemed different about this floor to her. There was something off. There was no humming of equipment like there would normally be. Just silence. Rooms 210-224 were empty and untouched. All the sheets

“Introduction to Poetry” and “Traveling Through the Dark,” are poems written by Billy Collins and William Stafford. The poem’s, “Introduction to Poetry”, main conflict is a teacher who tries to get his students to read and appreciate a poem, but what all the students only care about is figuring out what it means. The conflict is highlighted through the many uses of metaphors to help us understand how he wants the students to look and decipher a poem and how they only focus on finding the meaning instead of taking their time to listen and see the art of poetry. William Stafford’s poem, “Traveling Through the Dark,” describes a driver’s dilemma of deciding whether to throw a dead pregnant deer into the river, or leave it laying on the road where it can cause an accident. In both poems, the use of literary devices such as metaphors, personification, imagery, and diction are effective in making and building up the conflict and reaching the resolution.

Dylan and Eric have been friends for years. These two young boys had problems that most would never even dream about them having. They had a disturbed sickness that eventually there was no cure for. Eric was the one who encouraged most of all the negative conflicts and problems the two endured. Eric was the main problem as to the

He had about twenty-six days of training under his belt and he was going to get to choose what he thought would be the best people to take with him. Almost fifteen hours later, he arrived. Little did he know he had the best team already setup containing quite a few very close friends that he thought died oversea because he hadn’t heard from them. Altogether there were a total of six of them. Small but great, John thought to himself. The team was small, but had all the skills to pull this off. They had Anthony, Jones, and Cedar as snipers, Aaron specialized in bomb defense, and then there were John and Clay as specially trained foot-troops required in order to finish the job. And before they knew it, they were in action.

Part III of Niewyk’s book is about the victim’s experiences in the camps. Four articles are presented. The first is by Bruno Bettelheim, a child psychologist and survivor of the Holocaust, who concludes via Freudian psychology that victims in the camps reverted to childlike behavior due to their circumstances. The second is by Terrence Des Pres, a literature professor, who refutes Bettelheim’s position by adding additional information Bettelheim did not include. Next is Primo Levi, another survivor, who details a “moral grey zone” of actions taken while in the camps. Last in the chapter is Zoe Vania Waxman, who focuses on women’s experiences in the Holocaust and how their actions did not always fit in the gender stereotype that women are always

Growing up as a police officers daughter, I began to understand at a young age what it took to be a guardian of the citizens. My father took that police officer oath seriously because he decided to become member of the Houston SWAT team. Now that I'm older, and advancing my career in order to become a police officer, I am beginning to see my fathers perspective as what being a police officer and a member of the SWAT team really means instead of the cookie-cutter, 1980s Hollywood version. The book “Into the Kill Zone” by David Klinger, offers a cops eye view of deadly force, by including snippets of real officers views, including my fathers, of what it really takes to be a police officer. Not only is being an officers’ daughter important to me, understanding what it really means behind the trigger in deadly situations can do to a person mentally, physically, and emotionally. The main point I have gathered from this book and in my daily life, is that being a police officer is a truly rewarding job but unless you have an outlet to release your stress, troubles or frustrations, you're job will be just a job— not a career.

Richard and Ben helped Brian get to the basement which had been doubling as a protecting shelter from the endless Viles and the rest of us rushed out with Felicia handing me a shotgun and arming herself with a pistol as we went to investigate with the others. We entered the rusty metal building and noticed that a large semi had gone through the fence and wound up crashing into the water right next to the warehouse; we looked towards the fence and saw that more and more of those infected people had begun rushing through the

Evan moved his Pontiac swiftly and surreptitiously through the back roads as he made his return to Alex’s place. He wasn’t sure if Michael was still in the vicinity and he had no idea of just what he would do if he was. A shootout, he supposed was how it would play out, but if that would be the case; he thought it might be smart to stop off for reinforcements. He could rob one of the local gun stores. That would surely hit two birds with one stone, allowing him to arm himself to the teeth while simultaneously letting Michael know where to find him. Naw, won’t work, Evan thought. As soon as I set those alarms off, I’ll have not only Michael to deal with but at least a hundred troopers as well who will be looking for payback.
