Sons abandoned the remains of their fathers without a tear” (Wiesel 92). 1. Wiesel writes about his departure from the factory where he and the other prisoners found rest after their 20 km walk from the Buna camp the night before.

    in addition carry two kettle bells, this one actually kicked my but a little. The course had a section that was near an old railroad and racers had spent time on this section racing on both train tracks and climbing in, through, and out of several train cars, which again I enjoyed because it was different and the train cars were pretty cool.

Swallowing the houses and trees nearby, a tornado causes destruction. I rush to the nearest

    In the backseat of the car, my two best friends by my side. The smell of in-n-out filled our noses and the uneasy feeling sunk into my stomach, heartbeating faster than it has been in a while. The two front windows were rolled down, and the air quickly traveled to the back of the car, air circulating our bodies, winding our hair up in knots. I felt delusional due to staying up late awaiting this moment, but I was so aware. With Madi to my left and Lexi to my right I felt calm, yet anxious. Our favorite
