The Chocolate War is a novel full of corrupt school spirit while they are fundraising to sell chocolates. There is little difference between teachers and students at Trinity High School because both teachers and students use psychological warfare, fear and manipulation. They both give assignments and punishments and they do not want their corrupt system to be disturbed.
Everything around me began to blur, including the line between reality and something strange, a place where nothing exists. I could feel myself detaching, but there was nothing I could do to stop it. I was unplugged and could not find the cord to reconnect myself, my thoughts were screaming over one another and it became impossible to single one out. Everything was fake in that moment, my memories, my feelings, my family, my friends, it was all a hoax that I was stuck in, that I had to be released from. Feeling deceived and unhinged, I remained inert and supine in bed. I covered my face, which was daubed with my tears, and listened to my thoughts all telling me the same thing. I sat up and began to wobble towards the stairs. I heard my sister call out, “I’m leaving Emma!”, and my anxiety intensified. Everything blurred into a combination of panic and tears as my sister tried to calm me down. It took hours to bring me back to
My sense of security is screamingly absent. Their main attraction in the park is called, “dragster,” shooting out to 500 feet in the sky, with a straight angle going down. My friends have been on my tail about not being scared and not worrying about anything. The thing is, is that the roller coasters go so high and fast, with no guard rails on the sides. That places deadly snap shots in my head. While looking around in my surroundings, seeing huge bulging rocks, a beautiful sky blue lake with swans swimming and floating mindlessly. We overheard the staff members that were running this killer ride talking about shutting the ride down. That brought shock into my eyes. I was nervous once again. It seemed hopeless, as if they were going to shut down the ride because we were the next ones in line. My friends wanted to go on this ride so bad that we had waited over an hour and a half in this line. During the last five minutes we had become very paranoid. “Wouldn’t it be funny if those brakes at the top weren’t working?” Joe said, laughing at something that wasn’t funny at all. “Just shut up,” was the only thing I thought of. All of a sudden we hear this arcade type noise and lights were flashing. The ride had opened up again. The crowd was yelling and chanting. Everyone was happy.
Oh, it has been a month. So much has happened. A couple hundred miles into our trip, we looked ahead and say a long line of people. It was the kansas river. When we got up close we could see what the people were doing. One by one the wagons would cross the river. We were thinking about just walking across, the water was only like 2.5 feet deep. We decided it wasn't worth the risk and waited in line. When it was our turn we gave them $1 and started moving across. The river was only about 200 yards across. When we got across we looked back and saw that some people tried crossing without using the fairy. They were stuck. While we waited for the rest of our train we watched them trying to get unstuck. They managed to get out but there wagon and
Today is the day, I, Matthew Roach, ride Mystic Timbers at Kings Island. I am riding with my father, Steve, and my sister, Abby. Abby and I notice fake security cameras on a television. We recognize the footage on the TVs as Slenderman, which is a horror game. We have been waiting in line for about the past 15 minutes and finally it is our turn. We get in the train and wait for the ride to start. The people monitoring the Mystic Timbers yell “ALL CLEAR” and the ride began. The wooden track was rough and the train was going 60-70 miles per hour. I only had one question, what was in the shed. The train starts to slow down as we approach the shed. As we approach the shed I see it, weapons. All of the sudden, we stop and I wonder, “What happens
A memorable character in the book, the Chocolate War, would be Jerry. Jerry showed a great deal of self-confidence that grew within himself as the book went on. Jerry's self-esteem gradually increased throughout time and allowed him to stand up for himself. Jerry tried to start out at a new high school and didn't want to stand out as a freshman. Little did he know; he would be the main talk of the school.
The police are at our house trying to figure out what caused the accident but there are no leads yet. I might have to take this into my own hands. I walk outside to the hill, there are no obvious holes in the side of the hill where they were coming down, I don't think this was an accident. As I walked up the hill, I could smell the fresh cut grass and see the bright green color. As I got closer to the well I could hear the leaves blowing on the wind as I got goosebumps on my arms from the breeze. I put my hand on the old stone well my hands instantly got cold and I could hear the water trickling in the well. I look to my left and I see Mary and her lambs in their pasture. She’s staring at me, we make eye contact and she quickly looks away. I started walking toward her thinking she could have known
{{Say a goodbye speech to Mary and wish her a peaceful rest. If you feel Mary's spirit secretly marking another player, scare that player as much as you can until the game
We ran as fast as we could to the town and told the tale. People were amazed at what we said and didn’t quite believe it. So they came with us to see if it was possible. It was. The people saw the possessed men, well, not possessed. The 12 men and the Jew gave them some clothes and where having a pleasant conversation in the graveyard. The people were terrified. They were even more scared when they saw the drowned pigs. The pigs now had disgusting purple veins all over their bodies, up to their eyes, and down to their tales. I had to look away as I saw one of the pig's tongue fall out. Trust me, you don't want me to describe that. All the towns people look away and look at the heroic Jew that did this. I wasn't even afraid of losing my job. I was
It was a brisk foggy afternoon that was soon to turn to night. John had just waved by to all his friends at the party. It was a thirty minute drive home down some back roads in the country. Five minutes down the road it got dark and foggy, John was trying to get home as fast as he could safely. He was surrounded by open fields and corn fields on all sides. Then before he knew it his truck started to stall for an unexplainable reason. John immediately started to panic but tried to stay calm the best that he could. His truck came to a complete stop and there he was on a back road in the middle of nowhere. The only thing that he could see in front of him was a mailbox with a long drive with cornfields on both sides. John had no other option in the world
“So,” I said, “that’s why they’re demolishing it. Hey, look at this headline in The Hallow Town Crier.” I laid out the paper and pointed to the caption: WRECKING BALL REVIVES THE GHOST. The Screaming Ghoul Seen Far and Wide Leaves The Town Paralyzed with Fear. The story that followed was written in an entertaining way, but provided the same particulars as the
Marilyn thought that she died. Even if not yet, anyway she would die soon: two days without water, in the dark and cold, on concrete floor. Though, she didn’t already feel the thirst, or damp cold, and she didn’t cry anymore. When she heard some noises upstairs, and then shuffling of the feet on the stairs, she raised herself from floor with a timid hope. Accustomed to total darkness, she saw a strip of pale light under the locked door. When the padlock rattled, she stepped closer and stood by the side of the door trying to make out who was it. With her heart wildly beating, she felt terror mixed with a faint hope - was it her fairy rescuer, or cruel tormentor, that came to do away with her.
We barely managed to escape in time if it hadn’t been for Sophie I wouldn’t have made it. She pulled me through that leygate thing and we went from Ojai, California to the church of Sacré-Coeur in Paris, France. We ended up in a supply closet I figured there would be alarms but Flamel didn’t listen. As we frantically tried to find a way out he managed to set off two more alarms. As if things couldn’t get any worse this big creature made out of wax appeared. I believe Flamel called it a--a tulpa Scatty seemed surprised when flamel said that. It honestly scared me when Sophie turned and screamed causing the monster to melt. I don’t like her having these powers she's not the same, and every time she uses them I can’t help but think how dangerous
“The Dark Side of Chocolate” is a documentary that explores the underlying issues prevalent in the cocoa trade. For most first world countries chocolate is seen as an accessible treat, however in third world countries, the production of cocoa creates social issues that must be eliminated. Cocoa trade is one of the largest industries in West African countries, but the issues that arise from such trade do more harm than good. The cocoa plantations are trafficking humans to work on their plantations. Furthermore, most instances suggest that these workers do not receive any compensation for their work and most importantly some of these slave laborers are children. Thus, the three issues that the cocoa companies routinely commit in exchange for lower costs are human trafficking, slave labor, and child labor. These companies are aware of such issues but refuse to actively combat them because they are better off financially. It can be argued that these issues can be mitigated through various social, governmental and political policies aimed at combating these problems. The three main issues will be addressed and the various stakeholders affected by these issues will be analyzed. Then this paper will look at the possible solutions to these issues, whereby through government, social or political means.
