Integrity Growing up, my father was the shining beacon that guided my development. He was my teacher and I was his pupil. Essentially everything I knew had come from my father. He taught me simple things such as how to fish and how to hunt, yet more importantly he taught me his morals and how to be a good person. He never directly taught this to me, rather he taught by example. My father would always stick with his morals and maintained his position throughout different situations. He was always

“Every Thanksgiving I travel to Saint Louis Missouri to stay with my grandmother. Our first day off school for Thanksgiving break, be begin packing for our trip. I had ordered a black Columbia jacket that was supposed to arrive that Wednesday, so I hoped it would come before we left. My brother in college comes to decatur and brings his dog Dino (pronounced deno) so we can travel together. That day all we had to do was wait on my brother Anthony to come back from his Richland classes. It took a couple

As the winds wisp through the willowy woods on one warm November nighttime, our worrisome subject eyes a wooden orifice far into the night. The crunch of leaves and pinestraw accompany his stroll through the midnight Mississippi forest. Spanish moss waves through the wind as Deacon, or as he is affectionately known by his friends as Deac, moves ever so closer to this new object. It is the source of his visit to this mundane backwood land that appears otherworldly to Deac. A cabin in the woods is

I believe every person in the world is born for a reason. With the movie, Into The Wild the main character Alex set his death up in my opinion. His parents would try to do the best for him so that he could be successful in life. His parents may of causes many stressful moments for Alex with his two parents running their own business causing many sorts of fights constantly. Alex had a younger sister who was also known of these verbal and non verbal fights. Another thing that stood out to me in this

“Emma Barrett refused to help her!” Savannah shot back at Katelyn. “She refused to take what the village elders were planning on doing seriously. Those sick bastards along with all the other villagers… They also refused to help her. They turned their backs on her. They were happy to see her drown in this river. All those people were just as guilty of murder as Joseph Baker was. I’m glad she cursed this place. These people deserve it for their ignorance and their wickedness.” “Whoa, calm down

It was late afternoon when we made camp, I found a rock big enough to put the map on and I sat on the ground with the map on the rock. I was trying to see where we were and how close we are to our destination. I must have seemed a little puzzled because Seth came over and asked, “Is there anything I can do to help?” “No, I’m pretty sure I know where to go, but something about this map has me perplexed,” I said sounding confused. “Like what?” Seth asked. “I’m a little confused. Mr

The woods are covered by dark night, the stars content with misery. Augustus flees with anticipation through the narrow castle hallway. If he’s late, his father, Carlisle, will not be pleased. The clock ticking, each second pounding into his brain like nails. Fortunately, he reaches the lair just in time, to find his father lying in wait. “Augustus,” Carlisle 's whispers in a raspy voice. “Yes, father.” Augustus replies with worry. “You’ve become of age my son,” Carlisle hissed,” your mother has

The class trip to the museum seemed boring, but it actually proved to be one of the best adventures of my life. We strolled through several floors seeing tons of majestic statues, old books, and ancient paintings. Interestingly, loads of caution tape covered the entrance to the basement floor. So putting our brilliant minds together, my friends and I slipped right through the caution tape looking for adventure. We detected nothing important except countless cobwebs, and a massive, oval structure

It was a beautiful bright day in the town of Integrum Infernum five miles north of a mysterious cavern called Norak. Everyone lived happily in the town except for an orphan named Ellis. No one understood why she was so unhappy, but then again she was the only orphan in the town so no one could understand how she felt. As Ellis grew up she was a very unusual girl some said she was Hell’s Angel because of how attached to the darkness she was. At age 10 everyone assumed the mysteriousness lurking in

The Notebook “I am so tired, I need some coffee.” said Alex, “I know right.”agreed Noah. It was in the afternoon when Noah, and Alex finished their college classes and were going to a local coffee shop to get something to drink. They were walking down the street and a man riding a bike dropped a notebook, they yelled to the man that he dropped his notebook, but he didn’t come back. When sitting in the coffee shop, Noah decided to look through the book, for the name of the owner, so he turned to the
