Ever since Jacob’s mother died, his world turned upside down, as he gave up on school and everything outside his home. Everyday he sits alone staring at the ceiling in his room wondering why he hated the outside world so much. It drove him to tears thinking about how cruel a world can be, how humans could be such deranged and obsessive creatures. Their abilities to mimic fake emotions and spew out lie after lie always haunted him. His mother, Clare Pinefield worked as a stewardess on American Airline flight 782 for over 20 years but on October 23, that would change. In an act against American views a terrorist boarded a plane and that aircraft was discovered 3 months later at sea. Since that incident Jacob has locked himself in his room, afraid …show more content…
This time everything would change his life in one extreme violent scream. “PICKLE”, roared a rambunctious red headed girl who flew through Jacob’s bedroom window. “GET BACK HERE YOU STUPID LITTLE BIRD!” From his first floor bed room the girl ran out the door into his house, he couldn’t believe his eyes as he sat up from his bed. Question began to boil up inside his brain, who is she, where did she come from, how did she get in, why is she here? As he sat blankly in his pajamas he heard a massive crash in the kitchen. He sprung up and bolted to the kitchen seeing this tiny, wild red headed girl wrangling her pet parrot. “What are you doing in my house?” he calmly asked the dumbfounded girl. She sat up and patted her skirt to rid it of the dust, she stuck out a hand, “I’m Cecilia, I just moved next door from Scotland and my bird got out of his cage.” The words hit Jacob like a train hitting a standing car on the tracks, he couldn’t hear her continue to talk all he was feeling was panick. Without a second thought he turned and sprinted to his room, locking it from the …show more content…
He was in fact an interesting boy, she had never seen such a stone cold stare before. He looked as if she was to reach out and touch him he would crumble away. Something wasn't sitting right in his heart and that made the girl very upset. She followed him to his room after his episode of fear, his door was locked and she knocked it very hard. He wouldn’t open the door, she leaned her ear up against the door and all she heard was a quiet sob. This boy was so far under water he can’t even surface to breath anymore, she knew she needed to be a life raft. “Hey, sorry for barging in I didn’t mean to scare you, what's your name?” she politely asked trying not to frighten him. He responded, “go away.” In a fit of her rambunctious attitude , “WHAT DO YOU MEAN GO AWAY I'M TRYING TO BE NICE!” Once he hear this strange fit of anger the boy began to laugh, something that hadn’t occurred since his mother passed. The girl paused and smiled as she heard his laughter, “so what’s your name again boy?” With a slight chuckle, “my name is Jacob you, strange wild girl.” She held her tongue back from the comment, ready to knock the door down, but the boy sighed , “ I’m sorry I just don’t like foreigners…” He then preceded to tell her the story about his mother and how strangers seemed to be from different plants and they all were horrible and never saw anything good. The girl began to cry, how could something so horrible rip the
When Nico opened the door, he wished that all his problems would go away. Nico is a 16 year old who gets bullied and made fun of everyday in school. He also lives in a small New York with his mom who is always busy with work to take care of him. One chilly night, he dreamt about a bizarre place and saw his history teacher, Mr. Crocker. It was in a out of this world place. Something magical but also spooky. The next day he went to Mr. Crocker and told him about his dream. “Meet me after school.” Mr. Crocker said. Nico went back to Mr. Crocker’s room but he can’t find him anywhere. He found a note with an address, “2482 Baker Ave, Manhattan”. He got his stuff and
I did not get to see this monument due to staying back, but a very great friend of mine did and described his moving experience that made it felt like I’ve been there before. When Jacob’s travel group went to see this memorial it was night time which made it look interesting in how it stood. Jacob was moved by how Dr. King’s memorial was depicted being that he was the hope for our nation to be a whole and equal again. Jacob also noticed how King’s memorial was facing Thomas Jefferson’s memorial. Jacob like how represented being both Americans who wanted to do rights for others. This moves me because these Americans really wanted to make the citizens and America be the best they can be and express their views freely. As an American citizen,
After leaving Mr.Leroy behind for having a possible heart attack I commenced my journey with a goal of liberating Mr. Leroyś family from slavery. I had to think long and hard about how I was going to get nourishment as well as where I was going to sleep when night approached. It was a very chilly evening and, the sky looked exceedingly dreary as I rode Flap-Jack down the dusty road. It had been about 3 hours since I started riding. Then all of a sudden I heard a loud boom. I muttered under my breath, looks like storms coming our way boy better find someplace where we can stay the night. At that instant, I yanked on the rein that was connected to Flap-Jack’s mouth and turned us both around so that we were heading towards the woods.
It has been ten years since Fred left for Vancouver. Fred is now twenty-seven, but still in the seventeen-year-old body he was when he was turned into a wretched monster. He still thinks of the day that he left behind Bree and Diego, part of him wishes that he had stayed, instead of going to Vancouver. He also remembers the cold, dreary day in Seattle, walking home on his usual route, not having a care in the world, because everyday was the same, until he saw the man from the newspapers. The man in the newspapers was mentioned everywhere. No one knew where Riley, a nineteen-year-old college student would have went. Fred thought about how idiotic it was to ask Riley if he was okay- maybe he would still be a human. Fred sulked as he walked home from the fifth high school he has went to.
Jacob cuts up a pair of his mother's stockings and fashions them into a balaclava.
The rapture of the church, will be an event that will attract the attention of the people of Israel. That day will be the end of the Church age and the beginning of the Tribulation. God had put Jacob’s offspring in zealous when gave a place into His kingdom to the Gentile-Christian world, because Israel had rejected the Messiah, the own Son of God, (John 1.11-12; Romans 11.11). Thus, the time of Jacob’s trouble will be a day, according to the prophet Jeremiah, in which still God deals with the people of Israel, allowing them to feel pain, as the result of His punishment over them. God allowed the suffering over them because they sought to fulfill the law, going behind the works of the law, rather than by faith. Then, Israel will call out to
Now, as I stand upon the soon to break limb, I regret everything. Seeing the river below sent a stream of tingles down my spine. I’ve never been afraid of heights until now. The river, a disturbing mossy green, appeared cold to the touch. Even with it being Summer, the depths of the river looked like a cold shower I never wanted to take. I would, in a certain degree, rather get ratted out by one of the teacher’s inside than jump from this ungodly tree. From my peripheral vision, the two boys were hollering. Finny more than Gene. Consistently, Gene loved the thrill and excitement of danger. With every fiber of my being I praise God that the two boys didn’t dare invite anyone else to the impending doom of my death. Below, I hear the noise of a nearby toad. It’s mouth depicting a loud ribbit. Perhaps predicting my impediment that was soon to come. I glance towards Gene. Silently asking if this was an exceptional idea. He looked at me with a pointed look before proclaiming “you’ll be fine” and turning towards Finny “won’t she?”. Finn thought for a second “Notwithstanding, Kristen is a girl. For the same reason, she won’t! She’s invariably schlemiel.” Anger flashed in my eyes and by the looks of it Gene could tell. With a searing eyeroll and quick turn of my stature, I was

The sounds of the birds was unpleasant, it was endless cries and screeches. As I looked around, I realized that I was just in a plane crash in the middle of the Amazon jungle. Immediately a panicking thought was in my head, Dakota, Mark, Leo, where are you!. A small voice came from the other side of the plane wreck, it was Leo and Mark, “ where’s Dakota, Mark had a horrid look on his face, “I- I don’t know I thought he was with you or something” “ look!” said Leo he’s over there, “ what where” said Mark and Trent under the that sheet of metal, they swiftly went over and pulled him out under the metal. “Hi guys you found me”, “of course we did said Leo, can you stand up through”, “yes just grab my arm”. They slowly lifted him up. “ now what? Said Mark”, Grape all the supplies we you can said Trent”. As they moved around picking anything they could use, they all dropped the items into a pile. Duct Tape, a hunting knife kit, a fire starter, little food, and a flare gun. “Come on we need to get moving, if you want to get help” said

There are thousands of stories in the Bible, but one stands out in particular; the story of Joseph. The Hebrew meaning of the name Joseph is “may Jehovah add, give increase.”1 Through the life of Joseph we see God add meaning and purpose to his life, just as God adds meaning and purpose to all our lives. “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”2 Joseph obediently followed God’s plans through trials and tribulations whereas many other figures in the Old Testament faltered in their faith. Joseph, son of Jacob, is the single most important human being in the Old Testament because of his impeccable faith to the one true God and his story of forgiveness that set the stage for God’s chosen people.
God interacts with the world in a very unique way. He works by using people as conduits with whom He will ultimately achieve His goal of the Divine Plan. Throughout the Book of Genesis, many cycles of protagonists appear with whom God chooses to interact. In one such cycle, the Jacob Cycle, God influences, molds, and guides Jacob in increasingly personal ways. God influences Jacob throughout his childhood, his journey to Haran, his journey from Haran, and finally, with one last test of will. Throughout the guidance, God’s increasing trust in Jacob allows for an eventual transformation of the relationship, where Jacob morphs into God’s Israel.

Renesmee and Jacob lay in the forest near a waterfall that splashes freshwater with fresh air. Renesmee looks intently at Jacob, who she feels has been hiding something from her since last night, when he called someone and didn't tell her who it was. Even though she was trying to figure what he was hiding she was enjoying the breeze and how some of the flowers surrounding her bloomed as she looked at them. She wished she was one of them, mostly the starflower that was purple with a little bit of white in the center. The trees swayed in such a beautiful manner that she just couldn't describe it. The birds chirped and sang with a beautiful melody that she thought it was for her. Then Renesmee felt a hand touch her back and she turned around
