Years previous, he sailed to Egypt to find the best ivory; he joined caravans of jewel sellers to pick out the finest pieces; he travelled to the gold mines of Persia to purchase the purest ore. All he brought back to Macedonia, after months of travel and little rest. Shut up in the house of his father, who had recently departed this world, he began

swing open. Mentally groaning, I heard my ass of a twin brother,"Rise and shine, sleepyhead." "Shut up," I frowned, turning around to face the wall instead of the fire and my twin, Jack, who walked into my bedroom. "Seriously, Al. Mother and father are gonna be pissed you're even still laying down. I was nice enough to let you sleep in a bit, and I already decided how you can repay me." "Mhm," I let out on the verge of falling asleep. "You can do all my chores today." That was enough for me to

jumped back putting some distance in-between us. The match drifted to the ground and was still lit, so I crushed it with my foot. I let out a breath and put a finger to my lips, telling her to be quiet. I didn't want to wake up the whole house and have thirty

The Flawed Lottery Throughout history women have struggled with having their equal rights met when it comes to men. Especially during the forties, women were not known for holding major responsibilities in the family. Women were expected to clean house and take care of the children. Not only did this occur during this time but even before that and after. Women were given the right to vote in the 1920’s, but that did not make them equal to men. Women for centuries have been fighting for their rights

Two brave men who have bought the enemies and persevered the horror that laid ahead of them. “The Sniper” a short story by Liam O’Flaherty, takes place during the irish civil war. A trained sniper is given a mission to kill.

He'd seen what Jimmy was capable of and the warning signals in his piercing green-eyed

“Haha, you can’t do anything,” I stuck out my tongue. “Hey, wanna go find Collin?” “Sure.” We slipped back into the pool, and swam back to the shallow end. I had informed her a little while ago about Collin’s fear of the deep end. There he was, teasing Declan about him not going farther than the rope. “You’re not really a fan of the deep end either,” I commented. I turned to see if Alyssa was following. Her and one of the other girls were following. “Oh, shut up...” he grunted. “Jealous of my

There were many arguments about the leadership and what the final decision should be. Ralph thinks he is the final say and he shows this when Piggy says, “You said you wanted things done. So as we could be rescued.” Ralph fires back at Piggy “Oh, shut up!” (65). This shows how Ralph has been corrupted by society because he thinks he can boss everyone around and tell people what to do.
