The Fugees all had their own idol many which were famous world wide soccer players however for a player in the Under Thirteens team named Qendrim it was his grandfather. Qendrim explained to St. John that his grandfather was a famous goalkeeper in kosovo and everyone wanted to be like him. The author then gave background information on Qendrim and his family such as how they came to be refugees the event they experienced in their home town. As the Under Thirteens season progress they grew closer together the team even started having inside jokes, the faster players would slow down for the slower player, who in turn ran faster to keep up with the faster players, and the team would chant when they would run laps. Though the Under Thirteens grew

I crouch in the small interior of a vessel. Watching in disbelief as everything burns. I don’t understand, how did that thing create this inferno? Voices came from the other side of the wall. Why are they so calm? Don’t they see the destruction? I found an opening in the ceiling. Inside it lead to a shaft above the creatures. “The Bomb was successful, data on explosion recorded, commence blast off” suddenly the interior around me began to shake. I felt the vessel rise into the air. Moments later I felt the pull of gravity lighten and strangely I began to float. The loss of gravity made it easy to move about. In no time at all I had explored the ductwork of the entire ship. The ship was good sized with several rooms. I watched the creatures for a while go about their busy lives. There weren't a lot of them but they seemed to be everywhere and always moving. I was glad that I had a space in which I can travel where it seems they do not go. The next place I went was to the bowels of the vessel. Here I found the engine room. This place was filled with pipe work and in the center was a sphere made of some sort of energy. Even thoungh the device made a strange sound the room seems to never be touched by the creatures. I found a place in the corner of the machinery and rested

Another cannonball burst through the side of the ship, and William cried out in pain as it sent a hunk of wood straight into his right arm. Left hand trembling as it gripped his injured arm, William ran up to the deck without thinking. It was chaos. Bodies

Suddenly, there was a crack of lightning and the low rumble of thunder. The waves crashed against the ship and the sailors yelped as they toppled over. As for Tom, he fell to his knees, put his hand to his mouth, and muttered, "L-LAVATORY..."

Suddenly an incredible crack resonated throughout the ship, making everyone shudder. This sudden realisation of the imminent sinking sent everyone into panic. Many people made their way to the storage holds, grabbing as much gold as they could possibly carry. Others held their family in a soothing embrace, slowly lowering with the ship. Some jumped overboard, swimming away from the sinking boat, but quickly drowned in the freezing

The first omen was a sort of fiery signal or shape that shone in the night sky and appeared to have sparks of fire that fell dripped from it like blood or rain. This fire-like phenomena that appeared at midnight at disappeared at sunrise was wide at the base and narrow at the top like a pyramid. The second omen was that the temple of Huitzilopochtli caught fire without any apparent reason, and when the Mexicanos ran to put it out with water, the flames only rose higher until the temple was completely reduced to ash. The third omen was that the straw temple of Xiuhtecuhtli was struck by lightening and burned down despite there not being but a light rain fall. The fourth omen was a series of comets that flew across the sky from the west to the

Explosions burst through the side of the black ship, the leviathan growled in response to the alien noise to the beast it was more than an attack it was the roar of the opposing beast.

“That’s Captain Echo Guild, and why would I need him to do that. The ships will do nicely.

The reader is then introduced to this parallel between the events occurring above deck and below deck. As our main character (of the excerpt that is) proceeds to go below deck we are given his name; Dixon, a First-Class passenger. Below deck the ship’s crew are trying to maintain order and keep its passenger calm: “Passengers were to retire to their quarters immediately.” (lines 22-23). Though the situation on deck is chaotic and the storm is ravaging the boat it seems as though the crew are trying to convincing themselves and their passengers that it is indeed is it not a matter for worry as can be observed in the lines “There was no

Inside the ship, is what startled the crew. Inside the cockpit held by a grabbing claw was a metallic sphere. The sphere happened to have carvings of some ancient language of some sort. The crew desperately tried to open it for hours and finally gave up.

After a long journey, you find yourself in uncharted territory. As you scout the area, you notice a small village off in the distance. Upon approaching this settlement, you are greeted by some armed townsfolk. They attack you without warning, and take you to a large hall in the center of town. There, you see many men parading around in an intoxicated stupor, showing off their trophies and talking of their success in past battles and wars. They eat with bare hands, ripping at the food and drinking until they can no longer handle themselves, finding a home on the open floor. The hall is dressed with weapons of war, from shields to swords and everything in between. The women are wrapped in chains, fulfilling their only purpose of serving the

The ship being tossed about in the violent waters, creatures of the sea moving in toward the bodies, and the chains around the victims induce terror and sorrow. Drama is further materialized with the impression of movement of the water and ship.

The people have not yet realized what has happened, but the narrator knows that the “captain” of the “ship” has died.

To this day, I can discretely remember watching an episode of war in an historical Indian drama where the men were out fighting a war, while women left in the city gathered in preparation for Jauhar. Innocently, I asked my mom what the women were doing. They are preparing for the possibility that their army might lose the battle. I didn’t understand her answer at the time, in fact it slipped my mind until I started reading If We Were Birds. Researching the usage of rape as a tactic of war and reading the two works have enhanced my understanding such that I am now able to infer, very accurately, the meaning behind my mom’s incomplete explanation. Like Philomela, I can remember a time when I wasn’t afraid of the dark and was blissfully unaware
