The Power Of Nick The Chocolate Ogre

I observed three little boys playing and climbing on a slide. Nick, the little boy in the blue shirt and tan pants was climbing up the slide, using the steps and holding on to the wooden side to help him get to the top. He was grasping a wooden toy in his hands as he was climbing. There was another little boy climbing up the slide pushing a wooden toy as he went up the slide; the third little boy was climbing up the steps. When Nick got to the top of the slide he slid down really fast. The other little boys did not wait; they also slid down the slide. Nick ran from the slide to another area where a child was playing with a tower and cars. He did not talk to the child, but took the car he wanted and began to play with it and the tower. Nick

On a normal day at the public transit Rachel North was heading to work, but there was a strange feeling in the air. Moments after the train trundled off a powerful gust knocked Rachel to the ground and everything went dark. When Rachel regained consciousness she noticed people scattered about the transit car. She felt warm and wet. Rachel took a brief moment before realizing she was covered in someone’s blood.

It was late at night, and her car had broken down. She couldn’t call anyone because her phone had low battery, so she walked to the train stop. She waited a few minutes for the last train to arrive. She noticed she was the only the passenger, which led her to falling asleep for a bit. After five stops, the train broke down, or that’s what she thought, and woke up. The lights turned off. She headed to talk to the driver if everything was alright, but found her bleeding to death. She tried to get out of the train, but the doors wouldn’t open, which freaked her out even more. She tried calling someone, but remembered her phone was dead. To make things worse, the driver didn’t have his phone with her. She was hoping someone would pass by, but no,

The reason I’m on the baby train is to get my new awesome sick house. It’s at a place in Oregon called Gravity Falls. The reason I got this new house is because I was in a gang and another gang bullied my house and destroyed it. It will take me 2 weeks to get to Oregon, and right now I’m in just leaving Michigan and entering Indiana. The man starts to sing Christmas music now and now he singing louder than he was before. Just as he started singing we went down the steep mountain and the man didn’t have his seatbelt on. I tried to warn him but he couldn’t hear me because of his loud singing. I had to hurry and put the man’s seatbelt on before he died, and as I was putting his seatbelt on the train hit a hard right. Luckily I put the seatbelt on just in time and then continue looking out the

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

But it didn't make much of a difference because of that Georgia heat it was beaming down on us harshly. we stood out there for about 2 or 3 hours before we were told that the train had been "fixed" and that we could aboard it again so we did all of us got back on it and the journey continued. The train ran well after that we didn't face any more problems in Georgia, however when we arrived in Mississippi the train had stopped to allow everyone to buy something to eat again. When me and my auntie went into a store to buy something to eat it was a homeless man in there who was drunk and his feet looked as if they were thoroughly burned. He asked me for a dollar and I gave him 50 cents. He left and we bought our stuff and went outside we went on side of the building and he followed and asked if he could have another dollar but i didn't have it this time and he attacked. He grabbed my younger cousin by her arm and she thrashed around trying to get loose and that's when a random man came to help us he fought off the homeless man and appologized he said he goes around there alot and do

Bullying is one of those things that is very common in schools. If you were or know someone who was bullied, you are not alone. Millions of other students from all around the country get bullied each year, and they tend to feel as if they are alone. If you are one of those people, just know that you are not alone. Robert Cormier, the author of “The Chocolate War” uses bullying to display the kind of environment present at Trinity High School. “The Chocolate War” is a book about a bunch of boys who go to a high school called Trinity high school. Trinity has a gang in it known as the Vigils. One of the main leaders of the Vigils is a kid named Archie Costello. Archie is one of those kids who bullies others by using words, and he doesn’t use

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

The Chocolate War, by Robert Cormier, uses various language techniques to explore the theme of disturbing the universe. Jerry Renault, a freshman, is victimized for a special task by the leader of the Vigils Archie Costello. This Task soon corrupts the daily routine of school. Characterisation is used to introduce the characters roles within the school and the chocolate sale, influencing the reader as to what the social pecking order within the school is. Cormier also used to conflict to show the corruption of Brother Leon in the bid to sell chocolates, and how to the Vigils have an unspoken power in the school. Symbolism is used to perceive chocolates as a disruption to the universe of the school, influencing the reader to believe that something

We leave Fort Kearny and we are going to follow another giver called the Platte River for 170 miles which is a long way Lauren has been dying from her blisters on her feet but my wife hasn't been as bad, so Lauren has been taking seats and basically shifts with my wife.

Twas a dark and stormy night. Little twitches of fear ran up my spine as I realized that there was no one to help me. I peered out the window of my broken down car and looked at the brewing storm ahead. Alone in the middle of nowhere. Alone. What was I going to do? My phone was dead, the roads were empty, and it wouldn't stop raining. Worried about being stranded here all night, I got out of my car to find help, but all I saw was a shadowy figure. I yelled, “Please help me! I am stranded without a way to get home.” I blinked to see it right in front of me, but rather than being a human, it was a creature with a machete. It kinda looked like the Grim Reaper. I ran back into to the car filled with fright. Just as I thought I was safe, I looked to my right

Until there are more hospitals and clinics built to meet increased demands in California, undocumented immigrants should not be included in the affordable care act due to long current wait times, decreased capacity, and increasing utilization of the health care system. The Affordable Care Act was created and signed into law by President Barack Obama to increase the quality and affordability of health insurance and also expanding insurance coverage to decrease the rate of individuals that are uninsured by 32 million (Congressional Budget Office, 2012). It also forces insurance companies to no longer deny anyone coverage due to pre-existing conditions or raise the premiums once they do get sick. Currently, those who remain uninsured in the United States are undocumented immigrants, citizens not enrolled in Medicaid even though they are eligible, or citizens whose insurance coverage costs more than 8% of their household income and is exempt from paying the annual penalty (Trumbull, 2010). In California there is an estimated 2.6 million undocumented immigrants (Wallace, 2012) and before we open our health care services to more individuals, we first must focus on the issues we have now to prevent any potential negative repercussions to the health care system.
