The protest, he remembered. He ran through the trenches towards the yelling voices. He was not prepared to see what he saw. It was the malicious General, his tall, emaciated figure looming over Max's short one, his mouth was pulled back into a snarl and his eyes brimming with rage. The others stood by, staring at their feet, they were the cowards Christopher decided. The General pulled a thin handgun out of his pocket and held it in his grey skinny hands. He pulled back the lever, a vile gleam in his eyes.

On the early morning of April 19th, my husband left to gather with the militia. I being worried could not go back to sleep and awaited by the window from time to time.

Immediately there was movement until my eyes could see, running, shooting, bloodshed. As soon as I saw the Regulars marching, and the house being so near to all the commotion I ran to the children and hoped they wouldn’t burn the house down. I was prepared, nervous for the life of my husband

His body lay stretched out in the position of a tired man resting, but upon his face there was an astonished and sorrowful look, as if he thought some friend had done him an ill turn. The babbling man was grazed by a shot that made the blood stream widely down his face. He clapped both hands to his hand” (Crane 66). Crane gives a realistic view of the aftermath of the battle.

Finally, finally, the sirens stop. It’s so sudden, flooding the air with a moment of silence. My ears start to pick up the city noise again, faint and comforting in its normality. I hear footsteps behind my, and I turn to meet them. Two police officers are approaching me carefully, their guns drawn. What’s happening? Why do they look like they’re coming for me? I didn’t do anything. Questions flicker through my mind, none of them staying long enough for me to answer them.

By taking advantage of the soldier’s delay and delay in weaponry, the people had a large fighting chance. After several casualties on both sides, the rebels capture the governor of the prison and held him against the soldiers. The soldiers surrendered and the three managers of the prison were stabbed, shot, and beheaded. Their heads were displayed on pikes and paraded around the city (Schurer 67). This signaled the citizen’s first victory over the monarchy. The nobility was under the citizen’s control.

Millie: It’s five-o’clock on March 25th, 1911. The fire at the Asch Building is quite the whopper! From what I hear, it is baking like ma’s potatas!

Once the trap sprung, Duke Gashard’s horse, frightened by the flames, reared, throwing him hard to the ground, and striking his head, he lost consciousness. When he awoke, he was alone, his horse, his first lieutenant, and his men, nowhere in sight and uncertain of his location, he scanned the sky overhead, but the thick tree canopy made it difficult to see the position of the sun, and without the sounds of fighting to guide him, forced him to pick a direction and start walking. Skirting the fires, he came across many dead soldiers, most had succumbed to the fire, but a few had died from the same volley of flaming arrows that had startled his horse. Somehow, he managed to make his way through the flames to the clearing where he and his men had first entered.

Standing amongst the crowd of people gazing hopefully at the stage in the center of Times Square was a girl named Laina, standing bundled up outside in one of the busiest spots in New York. The announcer was preparing to hand out the grand prize for the contest she had entered in: an all-paid for cruise around the world--well, actually only to the Caribbean, but that was still good enough for Laina. With ports in Bermuda, the Bahamas, Bora Bora, Aruba...this had only been Laina’s dream since she was a toddler.
