<b id="docs-internal-guid-433ddd67-a58d-3dfe-fb09-9758c7c3af2a" style="font-weight: normal;"><br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“But we can’t live in the light all of the time. You have to take whatever light you can hold into the dark with you” (Libba Bray). As Bray says in this quote, hard times are like darkness and we need to take the light/ good times in our lives and bring them into the hard, dark times to overcome them with lightness. Obstacles are like hard times in your life and what makes them turn light again is how you choose to overcome them. In the book, The Old Man and The Sea by Ernest Hemingway, Santiago (the old man) faces many obstacles while trying to break his bad luck of not catching a fish and reeling in the gigantic marlin. During his struggle of catching the fish Santiago faced many obstacles such as: hunger, thirst, cramped hands, and sharks. These obstacles left the reader to find out if Santiago would live, or catch the marlin. But as the reader read they would find out that Santiago would overcome his many obstacles and catch the great marlin, only to have it eaten by sharks. Even though the marlin was eaten Santiago did live. In the following paragraphs of “My Great Fsh” essay I will be describing and comparing Santiago’s and my own obstacles that we both had to overcome in our lives.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>During my life I have encountered many obstacles that I have had to overcome. But, the obstacle that I have decided to write about and compare to Santiagos is one that many people go through in their lives and that I know that people I know are dealing with. “My Great Fish” obstacle is that I am a freshman. Being a freshman and the youngest in the high school is an obstacle to me and others who have gone through being a 9th grader because when you are the new kids in the school you are looked down on. For example the upper classmen think you're immature, and can’t do anything with them because your freshman. Also, sometimes being a freshman also affects your sports. I have heard of certain sports coaches not allowing freshman to be on a varsity team because they don’t think we can handle it, or coaches just simply tend to favorite the upperclass men. All the freshman class and myself are still dealing with this obstacle and hopefully will overcome it soon when we become sophomores in a couple months, and a new group of freshman come to the high school. Being a freshman doesn't bother me as much as it does other people i know but sometimes it does get annoying when you're looked down upon for being younger and new.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Still being a freshman now shows that I have not overcome my “Great fish” yet. But soon my classmates and I will become sophomores and the incoming group of freshman will have to deal with this obstacle too and following groups of freshman too. Even though we haven’t overcame our obstacle people who have helped us freshman get through the conflicts and are my “turtles” would be my friends, and classmates. I consider them my “turtles” because they understand what it feels like being a freshman and can go through the obstacle with you. I see my “sharks” as the upperclassmen because they instigate the obstacle by being hard on the underclass men because when they were freshmen they were treated different for being freshmen, and once we become upperclassmen we probably will be hard on the freshman too.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>My struggle with being a freshman is like Santiago’s because one of his his struggles was dealing with people on the island thinking badly of him, like the young boys dad not letting the young boy work for Santiago anymore because he thought he was unlucky because he hadn’t caught a fish in a while. Is infact like my struggle with being a freshman because Santiago and I are both trying to break peoples opinions of us and to create a new identity for ourselves, like Santiago not wanting to be known as the unlucky fisher and me not to be known as the little freshman. Santiago moved away from his problem by going out everyday, even without the help of the young boy and trying to catch a fish and when he finally did he risked his life trying to capture it. I do agree with how Santago went among fixing his problem because Santago didn’t listen to what the people on the island had to say about him all he cared about was fishing, and in the end it worked out for him because he caught the fish and got the young boy back. </span></div>

Just like my classmates and I try to do, we try to move away from that freshman role we are cast to play when we enter the high school and move into our own personal identities. Someone, like myself can learn and relate to Santiagos struggle in the story because we just need to learn that we create who we are, not others. </span></div>

Brewster Rawlins or commonly known as Bruiser to fellow
classmates because of his immense body size and outsider attitude. Bruiser
starts dating Bronte but when Bronte’s twin brother (Tennyson) finds out about
this he is not happy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Bronte and
Tennyson are twin siblings to two feuding parents. And Bruiser and his brother
VHIP live with their abusive uncle. Tennyson does not like Brewster and doesn’t
want anything to do with him until he realizes his “power.” Bruiser has the
special power of when he loves someone he absorbs all his or her pain.
Throughout the book Brew starts to absorb Bronte and even Tennyson’s pain. And
his own brothers so when the uncle abuses Cody, Brew feels the pain. When Brews
uncle has a stoke Brew starts to feel his pain too but turns away to let him
die. Brew and Cody live with foster parents and Brew pretends to hate them so
he doesn’t grow to love them too. Bronte and Tennyson convince their parents
about taking in the boys and once Brew comes into the house their parents stop
fighting until Brew absorbs Bronte’s pain from an accident in the swimming pool
when she hit her head and he is in the hospital. Will he ever be ok again?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The writing
styles that author Neal Shusterman was very unique to me and personally something
that have never read before. Author Shusterman chopped the story up into
different sections told from a unique perspective of each of the characters
(Tennyson, Brewster, Bronte and Cody). <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He continued the book at a normal speed but
changed the course of the story and switched the perspective from character to
character between chapters.<o:p></o:p></div>

by how they look like Tennyson did in this book. This story when Brewster
completely was different from how Tennyson and other classmates saw him but his
sister Bronte could overlook his reputation in school and go out with him.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">It all started on a clear Saturday morning when my brother Randal and I stumbled down the stairs to find our parents fighting again. Our parents fought often over every little disagreement they could have. It was usually about money and how mom doesn’t have a job yet even though she got fired 5 years ago from McDonalds and just sits on the couch and sleeps all day. But this morning they were fighting because dad has a big business meeting today and mom didn't washing his suit and tie so he had nothing to wear. Dad would yell “you’re irresponsible and selfish,” and then mom would yell “ then you do you’re own laundry!” </span></div>

font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Randal and I sat in the living room annoyed with all the yelling. And then Randal got up to get some breakfast and after searching for any scrap of food that was left behind from a long week he turned to me. “Want to run out and get breakfast?” I immediately sprung up from the couch and said “yes!” </span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Then we sat down to eat at our favorite restaurant. As we ate I noticed two strange men that kept walking past the restaurant door in long black coats, black hats, black pants, and black shoes one was tall and skinny the other was short and chubby. A couple minutes after I noticed the men I asked Randal if he knew them because they both stared at the two of us as the paced back and forth by the door.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I could tell that Randal felt uneasy about these men because he acted like they were normal guys just walking, and I knew he was just trying to calm me down. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> All of a sudden the fire alarm went off and all I heard was Randal yell “RUN JESSICA!” As we ran out of the restaurant we saw a mass of people crowned by the exit doors struggling to get out, but doors were locked. The alarm finally silenced and we all turned around to fifteen or more men in all black clothes like the two that were walking outside the restaurant. </span></div>

font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">A tall, muscular man with a deep mean voice spoke first saying “Hi, I am Marcus and I am the leader of all these great men and now I am the leader of you. No one will get hurt, unless you trouble us, harm us, or distract us in anyway if you do decide to do so we will take action.” As he spoke the men spread throughout the crowd one grabbed my arm and pulled me into the closest store and he told me to sit down and shut up. I watched the people get separated and and spread out amongst a couple of the shops. A little boy in tears got thrown to the ground beside me.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Hello.” I said to the poor frightened boy.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Hi.” He said.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“What's your name?” I asked.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Brady.” He answered.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> I said. “How old are you Brady?”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“5.” He responded.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Brady, I’m Jessica, I’m 15 years old.” I told him, and he didn’t respond he only wept quietly and shook a little. I decided to keep talking to the boy because I wanted to comfort him and not watch him have an anxiety attack or something. As we talked he told me he was afraid that himself or his mother who was somewhere else in the mall were going to be hurt by the scary men in the black uniforms. I was telling him that everything was going to be okay and that I’d make sure he was safe, and that my brother was in the mall with me but…</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Shhhhhh…” A man said to me.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I waited till he left the room before I continued to say he was in the mall with me but… we got split up like Brady and his mom did and I was worried about my brother too.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Another man walked into the room and told us to silently stand and move into the other shop and if he hears a peep out of us there will be consequences as he said this he flashed us his a gun he was hiding under his long black coat. Brady shocked at the sight of this held tightly onto the side of my hip and began to cry again. I slowly started to pat his back as a sign that he needed to be quiet because this time there would be consequences. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">We now entered a new shop and I was startled at the sight of my brother he looked at me and Brady with joy on his face with the knowledge that I was unharmed.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I sat next to Randal and he whispered to me “how are we getting out, what’s the plan.” I answered to Randal “I don't know you figure it out.” He said “ok first, you see the two guys guarding the door well I’ll take the big one and you knock out the small one with the baseball bat on the counter. Then, we’ll break through the locked door and all the crowd in this shop should be able to beat the rest of the men.” I analyzed his plan for a minute and then I said , “let’s go!”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">As Randal and I got to our feet the guard turned he yelled at us “ SIT BACK DOWN!” Randal ran at the man grabbing the large baseball bat that was left on the counter and bashed him in the head, he was out cold. The other smaller guard approached me and tightly grabbed my arm and shoved me to the floor. I screeched loudly on the way down because I twisted my ankle and I could feel the pain shooting up my leg as I hit the ground like I was being stabbed a thousand times in the leg. All I could hear after that was a gunshot. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Randal had now taken out the two guards in the shop and was holding one of the guards gun, but all the chaos and the yelling attracted the attention of the other men holding up the mall. A middle aged tall muscular man approached the shop holding his weapon. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“ Everyone put your hands up,” he yelled into the shop.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">No one said a word just sat there in silence and Randal sank to the shop floor again sitting on the guards weapon. The man entered the shop and I remembered he was the leader of the men, Marcus. From the look on his face you could tell Marcus was baffled by the sight of one of his men shot and one knocked out. He slowly paced side to side thinking and then he left closing the door behind him. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Three men now entered the room beside Marcus looking strong and powerful. Marcus was observing us wondering who did this to his men and who would have to “suffer the consequences.” One of the men leaned toward him and whispered something but I couldn't hear anything he was saying all I could tell was they were staring at me! Marcus walked over toward the back corner of the shop where I was sitting and grabbed my arm and told me to get up. I struggled to my feet because I felt another spread of pain throughout my leg. He tugged on my arm and escorted me out of the shop. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">He interrogated me about the two guards that Randal had taken out but I stayed silent. He asked me questions like did you see who did that to them? What happened to your ankle looks swollen? And bribed me saying he’ll let me free and call in a doctor to look at my ankle if I told him who did it. I stayed silent. After we walked around the mall he sent me to a dark room with a creepy, skinny, raggedy man who looked as if he hasn’t slept his whole life. Marcus whispered something to the man and then left. I sat against the wall for what felt like hours and then finally decided to make my move i got to my feet and hobbled toward the man only to notice he was asleep, so I crept out of the room. I hid and ran to the shop where Randal and Brady were and opened the door only to see Randal had shot a couple more men. I motioned them to come out and we moved throughout the mall to find the other men remaining. As we quietly walked through the mall I heard banging, slamming on the mall door. Randal ran over to where the banging was coming from. he tried to open the door but the men had wrapped things around the door knobs so that we were unable to open them. Randal, Brady and I pulled and pulled in the door until finally we heard from the outside “ Hello? i am a police officer and I am warning you to step away from the door because we are breaking the door down. We have gotten word that their is a hostage situation in this mall and we have come to put an end to this and save the innocent citizens!” I pulled Brady out of the way of the door right before they broke it down. As the door came crashing down several policemen and women can running into the mall. Brady started to cry again and got the attention of one police officer, she walked over to us. She told Brady that everything was fine and his mother was safe. Brady finally calmed down enough that she left to go find the men while we waited in the parking lot for further instructions.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">It all started on a clear Saturday morning when my brother Randal and I stumbled down the stairs to find our parents fighting again. Our parents fought often over every little disagreement they could have. It was usually about money and how mom doesn’t have a job yet even though she got fired 5 years ago from McDonalds and just sits on the couch and sleeps all day. But this morning they were fighting because dad has a big business meeting today and mom didn't washing his suit and tie so he had nothing to wear. Dad would yell “ you’re irresponsible and selfish,” and then mom would yell “ then you do you’re own laundry!” </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Randal and I sat in the living room annoyed with all the yelling. And then Randal got up to get some breakfast and after searching for any scrap of food that was left behind from a long week he turned to me. “Want to run out and get breakfast?” I immediately sprung up from the couch and said “yes!” </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">We drove to the next town over to the nearest mall. Then we sat down to eat at our favorite restaurant. As we ate i noticed two strange men that kept walking past the restaurant door in long black coats, black hats, black pants, and black shoes one was tall and skinny the other was short and chubby. A couple minutes after i noticed the men i asked Randal if he knew them because they both stared at the two of us as the paced back and forth by the door.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I could tell that Randal felt uneasy about these men because he acted like they were normal guys just walking, and I knew he was just trying to calm me down. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> All of a sudden the fire alarm went off and all I heard was Randal yell “RUN JESSICA!” As we ran out of the restaurant we saw a mass of people crowned by the exit doors struggling to get out the doors were locked. The alarm silenced and we all turned around to fifteen or more men in all black clothes land i recognized two of them from outside the restaurant. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">A tall, muscular man with a deep mean voice spoke first saying “Hi, I am Marcus and I am the leader of all these great men and now I am the leader of you. No one will get hurt, unless you trouble us, harm us, or distract us in anyway if you do decide to do so we will take action.” As he spoke the men spread throughout the crowd one grabbed my arm and pulled me into the closest store and he told me to sit down and shut up. I watched the people get separated and and spread out amongst a couple of the shops. A little boy in tears got thrown to the ground beside me.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Hello. I said to the poor frightened boy.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Hi. He said.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Whats your name? I asked.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Brady. He answered.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> I said. How old are you Brady?</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">5. He responded.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Brady I’m Jessica, I’m 15 years old. I told him, and he didn’t respond he only wept quietly and shook a little terrified. I decided to keep talking to the boy because wanted to comfort him and not watch him have an anxiety attack or something. As we talked he told me he was afraid that himself or his mother who was somewhere else in the mall were going to be hurt by the scary men in the black uniforms. I was telling him that everything was going to be okay and that I’d make sure he was safe, and that my brother was in the mall with me but…</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Shhhhhh…” A man said to me.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I waited till he left the room before i continued to say he was in the mall with me but… we got split up like Brady and his mom did and I was worried about my brother too.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Another man walked into the room and told us to silently stand and move into the other shop and if he hears a peep out of us there will be consequences as he said this he flashed us his a gun he was hiding under his long black coat. Brady shocked at the sight of this held tightly onto the side of my hip and began to cry again. I slowly started to pat his back as a sign that he needed to be quiet because this time there would be consequences. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">We now entered a new shop and I was startled at the sight of my brother he looked at me and Brady with joy on his face with the knowledge that I was unharmed.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I sat next to Randal and he whispered to me “how are we getting out, what’s the plan.” I answered to Randal I don't know you figure it out. He said “ok first, you see the two guys guarding the door well i’ll take the big one and you knock out the small one with the baseball bat on the counter. Then, we’ll break through the locked door and all the crowd in this shop should be able to beat the rest of the men.” I analyzed his plan for a minute and then I said , “let’s go!”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">As Randal and I got to our feet the guard turned he yelled at us “ SIT BACK DOWN!” Randal ran at the man grabbing the large baseball bat that was left on the counter and bashed him in the head, he was out cold. The other smaller guard approached me and tightly grabbed my arm and shoved me to the floor. I screeched loudly on the way down because I twisted my ankle and I could feel the pain shooting up my leg as I hit the ground like i was being stabbed a thousand times in the leg. All I could hear after that was a gunshot. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Randal had now taken out the two guards in the shop and was holding one of the guards gun, but all the chaos and the yelling attracted the attention of the other men holding up the mall. A middle aged tall muscular man approached the shop holding his weapon. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“ Everyone put your hands up,” he yelled into the shop.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">No one responded just sat there in silence and Randal sank to the shop floor again sitting on the guards weapon. The man entered the shop and I remembered he was the leader of the men, Marcus. From the look on his face you could tell Marcus was baffled by the sight of one of his men shot and one knocked out. He slowly paced side to side thinking and then he left closing the door behind him. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Three men now entered the room beside Marcus looking strong and powerful. Marcus was observing us wondering who did this to his men and who would have to “suffer the consequences.” One of the men leaned toward him and whispered something but I couldn't hear anything he was saying all I could tell was they were staring at me! Marcus walked over toward the back corner of the shop where I was sitting and grabbed my arm and told me to get up. I struggled to my feet because I felt another spread of pain throughout my leg. He tugged on my arm and escorted me out of the shop. </span></div>
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">He interrogated me about the two guards that Randal had taken out but I stayed silent. He asked me questions like did you see who did that to them? What happened to your ankle looks swollen? And bribed me saying he’ll let me free and call in a doctor to look at my ankle if I told him who did it. I stayed silent. After we walked around the mall he sent me to a dark room with a creepy, skinny, raggedy man who looked as if he hasn’t slept his whole life. Marcus whispered something to the man and then left. I sat iagainst the wall for what felt like hours and then finally decided to make my move i got to my feet and hobbled towrd the man only to notice he was asleep, so I crept out of the room. I hid and ran to the shop where Randal and Brady were and opened the door only to see Randal had shot a couple more men. I motioned them to come out and we moved throughout the mall to find the other men remaining. </span></b><br />Marley M College 9Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07510166129900979269noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4036771757565459758.post-92067627761409081562014-01-18T07:23:00.000-08:002014-01-18T07:23:13.528-08:002nd Quarter Outside Reading Book Review

Peterson Haddix. The story is about Jonah a young boy who has always known he
was adopted but when he and his friend Chip who is also adopted keep receiving
suspicious letters they started to wonder more about where they came from.
Jonah, Chip and Jonah's sister Katherine start to investigate the letters and
get into a case covered by the FBI. After research they find out that they were
found on a mysterious airplane that appeared out of thin air and was filled
with babies and Jonah and Chip were two of the babies on the plane. They
struggle to figure where this plane came from and where they came from?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

What do you value more your family and friends, or items you purchase such as a new television or camera? For me I value more memories not things that I can replace. Some of those things consist of my family, friends, sports, or pets. But I also value items I have purchased also like my television. We all have different things in life that we value? What do you value?</span></div>

My phone is where my pictures are that capture memories with friends and family, it helps me communicate with friends. While it also gives me access to weather warnings and the internet. But also it allows me to relax and play a good game of Candy Crush and or see whats new on a social networking site. But I would have to say my favorite thing about my phone is that it is easily portable and convenient. I really like that my phone allows to take pictures of my friends and I because it allows me to keep memories that I can’t even remember! </span></div>
<br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br />

I could never replace these memories because they are filled with fun things that we did and they’re all good memories. Whether it's night swimming at the beach, or shopping in Newport. My favorite time of the year starts in late July when I wake up to the best summer vacation my mom, dad, brother, two aunts, two friends, nine neighbors pile into the cars and get ready for a wild ride. We finally reach our destination after about two hours in the car and can’t wait to see our new house. A beach side yellow ,4 bedroom , 2 bath home welcomes us to our vacation. After we all make ourselves at home we head to a local small town of Galilee for lunch! Then, we head back home to get ready for the beach! Once the sun goes down we walk outside to the salt water smelling air down to the beach for a swim. A little while later after the sky is black and we can barely see each other, never mind the waves crashing us, we head home. Exhausted from a long day me and my two friend settle in for a good nights sleep. But if you’ve ever been crammed in the same bed with two of your friends you know that you’ll never get sleep. At about 3’am after screaming, laughing, and talking we all fall asleep, only to wake up not long after to another long day at the beach. After about a week of this we all pile back into our cars we head home waiting to come back next year!</span></div>
<br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> Though my items are completely different, they are also quite similar and this is why. Both my summer vacations with my family and my IPhone are alike because they both relax me and surround me with wonderful memories that I will never forget. My phone and my vacations relax me because my phone allows me to have access to others and communicate and talk to my friends and that relaxes me. And my summer vacations relax me because there is nothing more relaxing than laying on the beach on a hot summer day surrounded by family and friends laughing, and having a good time right beside you! One way that I see my phone as something that keeps memories because of my photos I take. My phone allows me to take pictures of memories with friends and when I look back and see them I can’t help but smile because it restores those memories in my mind. My summer vacations bring me memories because when all of us are together we can’t help but create memories whether they're good or bad. Whether we're laughing or crying we seem to always be having fun when were at the beach all together.</span></div>
<br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">While I explained above how I see my phone and vacation are similar there are definitely ways I see them as different too. Some ways I see them as different is while my phone is private and mine, my vacations to Rhode Island are not private I share almost everything that week with someone, if not everyone. Another way my two valued items are different is because my phone I see as something I use when I’m bored or something I use when I’m at home. While on the other hand vacations are away from home and they allow me to experience new things.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> I value both of these items very much because I love remembering, and creating memories and both these items seem to be able to do both those things for me. Even if I’m at home on my living room couch or laying in the hot sun at the beach.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> I find that both my family beach trips and my IPone allow me to travel and see new things even if it’s through the beauty of the beach or social networking sites my valued items allow me experience new things. Rhode Island allows me to bond and create fun memories with my family and enjoy the beauty of the beach. Even if I would almost always choose a beach trip over a day at home, sometimes alone time on the couch with my IPhone is just what I need.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">1. In this paragraph I will be describing an example of a time when my inner and outer voices were discording each other, or in disagreement. This occasion that I’ll be talking about in my following paragraph was actually not to long ago. I was deciding whether to try out for basketball in the winter or do another sport. I went back and forth on it for a while and I really wasn't sure what to do. My inner voice was kind of saying “don’t do it, you won’t like it, you don't even like basketball.”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">When signups came around this week I ended up signing up anyway. At first after signing up I felt relieved that I wouldn't have to go back and forth in my head anymore, but also anxious because I don't know what the season is going to be like, because we haven't started our season yet. But I felt better because a lot of my friends are playing and I’ve played basketball throughout Middle and Elementary School and I'm comfortable with the sport, and who knows what I would have signed up for instead of basketball? What if I was really bad, or if I knew no one on the team? It’ll probably end up working out in the long run! Let’s just hope I made the right decision!</span></div>
<br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> 2. An example of when both my inner and outer voices were in harmony and agreed with one another is one that I experience actually quite often. It really bothers me when people say someone is or is acting like a retard. And whenever I hear a friend or anyone saying it I say “I don't like that word”, or “ bad word” because to me honest I really HATE that word. It bugs me everytime I hear it. My inner and outer voices are in harmony in this scenario is because in my inner voice I'm like oh my god don't say that hate that stupid word! While my outer voice is saying “bad word”, or “I don't like that word.” So this shows that my voices are in sync. So whenever I hear that and my two voices speak out as one it makes me feel good because I know that I'm doing what I would want myself to do in that situation, and I think it’s the right thing. This is an example that I‘ve experienced and it seems to be actually frequent, when both my inner and outer voices communicated together and came out with the same answer every time.</span></div>

Dave Pelzer’s chilling childhood story tells us what it felt like living in his shoes as he grew up in a nightmare. His troubled mother tortures, starves, and beats him in the story, while his cowardly father just stood there and watched his son being abused. The book takes place in California and was in fact recorded as one of the most severe child abuse cases in California. In a smaller picture the story was placed in Dave’s childhood home, and his school. His school plays a huge part in his life because school teachers and officials removed him from his situation and reported the abuse. Also what kept Dave from “giving up” was his motivation and hope that one day he’ll have a family that loves him. </span></div>

This is the best book on the subject of child abuse I have ever read. As the reader moves with Dave through fear, isolation, pain and rage to eventual hope, the dark world of the abused child becomes painfully clear. We become aware of the child’s cry through David’s eyes, ears and body. A Child Called It made me want to hold my family close to my heart and cherish our love.”</span></div>

Though I have not read any other books from this author, I would like to continue the series. I like how Pelzer told his own story because that’s how the reader knows all the information that the author provides you is true and as detailed as possible. I also enjoy how the writing style is very vivid and descriptive and even though at points in the story you wanted to erase images from your memory it helps the reader create images to help the reader.</span></div>

That’s why Dave really inspired me, because he took care of himself and fought for survival with brutal beatings and days without food. And i’m just glad that in the end he didn’t let his mother win.</span></div>

Out of my five words that describe the protagonist Melinda in the book Speak i chose the word arcane. I chose this one instead of the other four because i felt it was the one that best described Melinda and who she is. I felt that arcane best shows who Melinda as a character is because arcane mean secret, known only by few. And this is truly who Melinda is, but she doesn’t care she likes “blending into the crowd”</span></div>

Or when she refuses to go to the homecoming pep rally until Heather makes her. She would rather spend the time out of algebra and fixing up her closet. she doesn’t want to go because she doesn’t want anyone to talk to her or sit next to her she would rather be alone in her closet (pg.26-30). </span></b>Marley M College 9Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07510166129900979269noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4036771757565459758.post-14399720790273970102013-09-10T10:54:00.001-07:002013-09-10T10:54:23.000-07:00<div dir="ltr" id="docs-internal-guid--8f16c00-0900-ac8b-5bae-c330a7aabe39" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;">

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">1. I would like the reader to understand the unique characters personalities that i saw in the two stories. A theme that i was trying to get across was that you never leave a friend behind.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">2. This story was easy to write because both characters are from New York.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">3. It was hard to write about the war . And it was also hard incorporating Alfred in England and him and Daisy knowing each other.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">4. I would have like to write more about the days that Alfred and Daisy were apart from each other. And also, I would have liked to add about Daisy’s relationship she gains with her cousins during her visit to England. Feedback questions that would be helpful would be did the story make sense when you read it? Did you get the relationship between characters? And, was the ending good and did it go with the story?</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Daisy stood alone and afraid in the airport waiting for any sign of her cousin, though she didn’t know what they looked like, or even their names. Suddenly, a skinny stranger that looked beat up and struggling stumbled upon her. This stranger said “hello, Daisy what are you doing here?” Daisy confused replied. “ I’m here to visit my cousins, who are you?” The strange let off a soft chuckle and said, “oh, you don’t remember me i’m Alfred, i used to live down the street from you, but I moved to Harlem last year.” Daisy suddenly remembered her old neighbor and said “oh hey Alfred, why are you here?” Alfred told Daisy all about his many fights and how now he was fighting in England because he was dominating in the United States. </span></div>
<br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br />

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> Daisy and Alfred walked and talk for awhile about old memories together and Aunt Pearl. Finally, Daisy heard what sounded like her named being yelled from across the airport, “ DAISY, DAISY!” Daisy and Alfred walked up to the boy shouting her name, that looked about her age all alone in the airport. </span></div>
<br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br />

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Daisy said. “Hi, i’m Daisy who are you?”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The boy replied back “Hello Daisy I am your cousin Edmond.” </span></div>
<br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br />

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> The three walked through the airport together till they finally reached the car. Edmond got into the drivers seat while Alfred and Daisy stood there confused. “Um… aren’t you a little young to be driving a car,” Alfred said. Edmond looked confused and shot back with “oh, here we don’t have to wait around and get a license we drive when we’re ready, so get in.” The two stood there unsure weather to run or get in. They eventually jumped in and were off. On the way to the house they passed many small houses and farms with livestock. After a long drive they pulled into a farmhouse with a small girl on the porch. They got out of the car and approached the little girl who Edmond explained to them was Piper his little sister and that he also has a twin and older brother inside, and that his mom ( Aunt Penn) was away working and should be home in a couple of days. Alfred being so shy just followed Daisy as if he was her shadow. Alfred has always had a boxing instinct since he started at Donatelli’s Gym, every chance he had to fight he would and that’s why he’s here now. Daisy, and her cousins accompanied Alfred to his match he was fighting England superstar Curtis Edwards. the bell rang, and Alfred was on his game ducking punches, he ending the match in the third round with a TKO. </span></div>

War breaks out.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> Daisy grabs Piper hand and runs for shelter, she escapes the stadium hoping that everyone else has too. She ran to the streets and finally makes it back to the house with Piper. She waits there anxiously for the boys. Then, the boys run in screaming, “ GET IN THE BARN, GET IN THE BARN!” But Alfred is nowhere to be scene. The cousins frantically run out into the barn and Daisy wondered behind. </span></div>
<br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br />

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> After a couple of hours blasts calm down and the kids are asleep, but Daisy is wide awake nervous about her friend. She lay awake remembering her neighbor and trying to stay positive thinking, he’s ok i know he is, she thought back to a few years ago when Alfred was accused of robbing that Jewish store where he worked, but it turned out to be his best friend James, or when that mean boy Major threatened to give him a squealers scar just to set an example of him. Or when he explained to her when he first walked up those steps to Donatelli’s Gym his life changed forever. She wandered on for hours but slowly fell asleep next to Edmond.</span></div>
<br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br />

She once ran away with Piper late at night searching for Alfred but after several days looking they went home. </span></div>
<br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br />

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">But one morning she woke up early to the two dogs howling at someone and she immediately thought… “Alfred!” She looked outside to see if it was really true, and it was Alfred Brooks was banging on their front door! </span></div>
<br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br />

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">She ran towards him and gave him a big hug thankful that they both survived the war. Then after about a month with the cousins and boxing matches, they both took a plane back to New York together, trying to forget what they’ve scene in the war. </span></div>
