Cliches and Dialogue


George looked up from shoeing the horse to see the outline of Curley's wife in the doorway of the barn. They were alone.

"Have you seen Curley" she said quietly, standing by the door. 
"What 'bout Curley?’Spose he walks in," muttered George looking at his feet.
     "Well, you gotta put your foot down." she stated. "I ain’t ever told you this, but I don't love Curley. He's fishing for compliments."
    "I ain't so sure this is a good idea George, Curley can stir up an ants nest."
            Curley's wife smiled an ironic smile and asked, "George, Do you have ants in your pants?"
      George was not impressed and replied yelling "No, I just don't want no trouble, I'm tired of messing with fire."
     Curley’s wife laughed and said. “Caught red-handed, I know you like me George."
        George did not know what to say, he exclaimed that,"You drive me up a wall."
  Curley’s wife came close whispered. “I know boy will be boys, but I get lonely and need someone to talk too”.  “Go talk to that crazy lil husband of yours cause you driving me crazy.” replied George.
   “You only hurt the one you love, I’ll be gone before I go back to Curley” Curley’s wife said in a hurry.         
'Leave me alone for gods sake" muttered George, "You have gone over the top this time"

I have a Dream

I have a dream, for teenage bullying to come to an end. Bullying is one of the biggest problems in all schools around the world. Thousands have committed suicides from being bullied. Hundreds of thousands stay home every day because of the fear of being bullied. Thousands will still commit suicide if this is not put to an end. It would be fatal to see more kids dying because someone is picking on them.

We cannot walk alone. We need to take a stand against these bullies. We need to support the victims of bullying. We need to change the rules in school so people will finally understand the consequences.  Now is the time to step up and end these tragic incidents.

I have a dream that this nation will rise up and come up with an end to this, I have a dream that one day little children won’t be judged for what they wear. I have a dream that children will not be judged because of their appearance. This is my hope and this is what I feel should happen. From one school to another at a time, I hope this changes kids’ minds about bullying.

I have a dream that little boys and girls will not be picked on. Little boys and girls will not feel ugly and worthless. Little boys and girls will look forward to going to the next day. Little boys and girls will all get along one day.

This is my dream today.

Let us not attend any more deaths of teenagers because of bullying. Let us not be in pain after seeing kids being picked on. Let us not inform anymore families about how their child has been killed by their own peer.  

The day bullying comes to an end is the day I will be happy. The day there will be no more teenage deaths is when I will be happy. The day people start realizing how wrong this is I will be happy. People don't realize how bad this really is until it happens to them or a family member. I think people should already know how wrong this and more should try supporting it.

5 Senses

5 senses 


  I walked into the hospital waiting room and sat down desperate for some good news about my best friend. I could tell all his friends and family were terrified because of the critical condition he was in. I could see the worried looks on the faces of his loved ones around me. Watching the door very closely, I would look up every time I heard the door open. I remember seeing the fear in my best friend’s eyes the last time I saw him lying in his room. The smell of fear surrounded the air around me. Felt like I had been waiting for centuries now. I could taste drips of sweat as they ran down my face. Suddenly, looking up I saw the Doctor walk in. He had a kind of worried look on his face and I didn't know what he was going to say. He said, "Everything will be fine" and suddenly I felt all the stress and worry leave my body, I felt relieved.
