When you know what is going on in your mind, you call it “consciousness.” This is your waking state – your consciousness shifts from sensation, from perception to perception, from idea to idea, in endless succession.

My Trip to the Beach! As I rolled out of bed, drenched in sweat from the hot, sticky, humid air. As I got ready for the day I began to feel excited because, today was the day we would spend at the beach. Playing and splashing in the water riding the waves, riding our boogie boards. Oh yes today was going to be fun! As I put on my swim suit I smelt the lingering smell of the oceans salty water from the previous time we had gone to the beach.

Stung Have you ever felt extreme pain before? The type of pain that brings you to your knees, howling out in pain? When I got stung by a jellyfish, I felt that type of pain. We were driving our boat up the German Channel, the sky cloudless, the water a beautiful blue, and the sun shining across our faces. Colorful fish darted away fast as fighter jets as our boat drifted through the water. My brother, mom, dad, uncle and I were riding out to the German Channel, a popular diving site that also had

don’t need to help me! Come off on the other side of the boat!” “Nonsense Banana! This is the fastest way to help you” I‘m a moron aren’t I! I stepped into the water and felt a tickle on my legs.

So…” Our cabin counselor ran over. She told us that she would walk us back. Thank god she could see the stinging anomaly that swam through the

“Yes Mamn I sure can”, replied the doctor. The doctor then proceeded to write down the traits Tiana desired. “I'm so excited that you can change my sweet baby.” Dr. Waddell then injected something into a needle and shot it into her arm, “This might sting a little, but i'm sure you'll be happy.” Tiana was due in 2 more months so the injection had plenty of time to kick in. She went to her father and told him what she had done, “Dad, I know you're going to be angry, but you have to understand that this

his existence, although he does not know what. When Teresa, he knows that he knows her, and that there is something he must find out. In order to find this out he allows himself to be stung by the griever, even though the sting could prove fatal. When he recovers from the sting, he knows what he has been missing. He knows details about his life prior to the glade and he is not afraid to take charge and lead a group out of the maze. Thomas shows incredible courage. It would have been easy for him

Jellyfish Attack Water right by the edge of the shore. Waves crashing at my feet. Beautiful weather with a big shining sun. And I’m standing there taking it all in. But it all vanishes and then all the noise comes back, as my cousin, Josie calls over. “Come on Peyton!. You're taking forever!” She yells in groaning voice. I’m guessing she was excited to look for sand dollars and other stuff like that, but she completely ruined my moment… my beautiful beach moment, and who knows the next time I go
