And then, the day I had feared of most, finally arrived. We lost our father, the only figure I truly felt safe with. After months of mourning and painful transformations, our mother fell sick. In those terrible days, days during which I was locked in the basement most of the time, for my safety and even more: for the safety of my family, I was incapable of helping. To this, I regret even today.

My hands were covered in blood.. It was only a matter of time till they caught me.. I could hear the roaring of the wind. The heavy breathing coming from my own chest.. My stomach ached in pain. I could feel the tears beginning to escape from my eyes...

“Rabia wake up now; we have to go. She’s gone,” my mother said without another word. Within moments, I was standing in my best friend’s apartment at seven in the morning on Memorial Day. I stood there in the living room, unable to stop the tears from flowing as I watched the most terrifying moment of my life take place in front of my eyes. My muscles were tense; I clenched my jaw as my teeth began grinding uncontrollably. I tried so hard to mute the cries of others. Confusion had taken over my body so much so that I entered a state of numbness and could no longer feel any emotion. I have never had to use so much willpower to digest what was happening around me.

By the time the train had arrived William was tired from all his investigating, boarded the train, and drifted into a deep sleep. The train was moving along the track smoothly when it suddenly jerked forward harshly. William awoke to the sight people yelling and scrambling around trying to get out of the train. The conductor had announced that for safety reasons everyone must evacuate the train. William was not sure what had happened. He realized that the train was no longer moving and as he looked out the windows he noticed that there was a lot of grey smoke. The William eased his way through the people on the train and was able to get

In 1756 a dramatic event had just hit its peak. This is said to be the Seven Year’s War, which was between most of the European countries because of imperialism, but was fought primarily in North America as a territory dispute between France and Great Britain. These countries consisted of France, Saxony, Russia, Sweden, Great Britain, Prussia, and Hanover. What all contributed to the beginning of the war, what all happened in the war, and what made this war come to its ending?

My heart felt as if it was ready to jump out of my chest and go shoot itself.  How will I ever get over the death of my parents they were my everything. To walk in to find their cold rotting bodies, was not something I've ever imagined happening.   As I walked into

something very scary happen. When you are entering a train track area you should not have any

As they walked me and the kids out to the front of the main school doors to meet loved ones. All of the parents and loved ones thanked me also; I told them I couldn't have done it without God on my side he brought me back to life because he believe in me. After this whole event the school named me hero of the century because of my willings. They should’ve named God the hero because if it wasn't for him my heart wouldn’t still be

War threatens while conflicts between the factions and their ideologies grows. As always in war, one must take a position aside, Tris and Tobias are no longer completely honest with each other and the secrets they have for each other to grow. Both are deviants - divergent - from their factions, and the difference between the true faction members and

After they implanted the serum into the main character, she realized how the Erudites were going to get them to fight the war, "One: Colored serum contains transmitters. Two: Transmitters connect the mind to simulation program... They are sleepwalkers" (415-417). Much like other dystopian books, the Erudites used their advantage of knowledge to manipulate the Dauntless to gain power. They mind controlled the Dauntless to fight for them since they were stronger than the Erudites showing their power over the other factions. Also, since they had power they were bound to have resistance, which is where our main character comes in. As the Dauntless were starting to lash out on the Abnegation, "I press the barrel to Eric's forehead... I grab Tobias's arm and sprint... 'Divergent rebels,' Eric says standing on one foot. His face is a sickly white. 'Surrender your weapons'" (424-425).The serum used to get the Dauntless to kill for the Erudites, did not work on Divergents, which was what the main character, Tris, and Four were. The Erudites started the war because they thought the the Abnegation had too much power in the government and they were corrupting the other factions.They knew they had to fight against the Erudites to stop the war and save their Abnegation

Warfare involves many characteristics from ideologies such as Fredrick the Great and Clausewitz that guided their philosophies and theories on war. However, it was Clausewitz who introduced and stressed the importance of the paradoxical trinity of war - Emotion, Reason, and Chance. A logical, organized way of thinking and understanding the social dynamics, as well as the complexities of the political and military realities into the Western military that brought about real-life implications. While applicable during Frederick the Great era the paradoxical trinity was not prevalent as it is now in today’s modern society.

1. When reading this work my initial impression is that the world has gone into a time that extraterrestrial beings have decided to destroy earth and humanity has been fighting back.

Once the devastating, disastrous World War I had ended at the eleventh hour in the morning of November 11, 1918, peace treaties ensued and the post-war boundaries of Europe were redrawn. In 1919, the “Big Four”- David Lloyd George of England, Vittorio Orlando of Italy, Georges Clemenceau of France, and President Woodrow Wilson from the United States, convened to discuss how the enemies, predominantly Germany, would pay for the damage of the aftermath of the total war. Although, it was not just one treaty drafted but several separate ones with each country who had a hand in this calamitous conflict. President Wilson set forth the Fourteen Points in the Paris Peace conference in which he believed it would bring stability to Europe; however, the final peace treaty resulted in little similarity to the Fourteen Points and largely came about to result in the Treaty of Versailles in which Germany had little choice but to sign it. One of the other treaties was The Treaty of Trianon, signed by Hungary under protest, in which they were to pay for reparations and forced to agree to have their land size as well as its military to be significantly reduced. Due to the harsh, “peace-making” treaty, Hungary was left in a state of turmoil, pieced to dismemberment, and consequently, discriminatory conflicts took place.

When I was still alive, I lived a mediocre life. I tried to a lot of good and tried to do nothing wrong. But that could not save me from my fate, on that lonesome night. Before that night, I had a young man stay with me at my house. I brought him in to help me around the house and take care of it after I die. He was like a son I never had, until something snapped on the inside.
