“Just tell me what happened,” the detective spat at Harper. “I already told you what -----” Harper spat back. “Well tell me again!” he interrupted. “Fine,” Harper said rolling her big brown eyes, flipping her short brown and kicking her narrow feet on the metal table in front of her.
“Get your filthy feet off the table!” the detective growled.
“Do you want me to tell you the story or not pops? I’m not getting any younger! She said. Harper had always been a little snobby.
“Fine” he said through his teeth.
“Great, Now that we have come to an understanding,” she said, flashing her white teeth. “I was sleeping then I heard screaming. I ran to the hallway then to the bathroom where I heard the screaming coming from,” she paused “It…” she

“What are my options?” Alex asked.
“You can either go to the Institute for the rest of your life or take the death penalty,” she said to Alex. “I’m sorry, I tried to get you more options but the Society wouldn’t let me,” she added.
“What’s the Society?” Alex asked confused.
“It’s our government; they make and enforce the rules. If you’re not ‘perfect’ then they either kill you of send you r to the Institute,” she said grimly. “So what will it be?” she questioned.
“The Institute,” Alex said glumly.
“Are you sure?” Alex’s lawyer asked.
“I’m only sixteen, anything is better than death,” she growled, as the guards got up to take her to the Institute.
When she walked into the cemented room there was a bunk bed in the corner with sheets folded neatly on the bottom bed and a giant lump of sheets scrambled around on the top bed. Great a roommate, Alex thought to herself menacingly. There were no windows two dressers, a clock, a dim light bulb in the center of the room and a camera in the corner diagonal form the bunk bed that was moving constantly. “Welcome to the Institute, here is your number 768,” the guard said to Alex. Then a girl rose room the top bunk, she shoved all the sheets of her then jumped off of the bed on to the floor. She had a white shirt and black short on and was barefooted. She was tall and towered over Alex who was only five feet six inches, she also had a tan and shaggy hair that flopped everywhere. “Hi, my name is Ponny… Ponny Addison and might I ask

William Shakespeare's play The Tragedy of Macbeth, written in 1606, and is renowned for being Shakespeare’s bloodiest tragedy. The play is also known for its complex and infamous characters including the protagonist, Macbeth. It is important that Shakespeare does not allow the readers to despise the Macbeth, Shakespeare must have the readers sympathize with him instead. Shakespeare must make the reader have a sense of understanding with the protagonist, he must make them have feelings of pity and sorrow for Macbeth’s misfortunes. Shakespeare maintains the readers’ sympathy for Macbeth, by having him experience despair and adversity throughout the play.
A little light shone in from an unknown point, so she could see everything faintly in dim light. It was a dark figure dancing and swaying around in what was supposed to be the living room.
He came in without a word. I was stropping my best razor. And when I recognized him, I started to
“Do I get a full jacket out of this at some point?” She asked, sounding like a disappointed kid at
Right then she heard hard heavy footsteps outside in the corridor before her door was flung open. She opened her mouth to scream but then she realized it was her husband and she started to laugh instead. “Oh you scared me dear.
I gazed around the brightly lit area, where there was a bed with pure white sheets in the corner, a cabinet with vials and bottles filled with medicine, a lamp burning brightly on a tiny, wooden table, along with a rectangular table in the middle of the

The moment arrived. When I opened the doors, I scanned the architectural design of the room. The classroom looked like a mid-size basketball gym. The concrete blocked walls were painted white. The hard-wooded floors complimented two black pianos scattered in different locations of the vicinity.
There wasn’t much in it, just empty shelves and a couple of dusty tables. At the far end of the room, a few dark objects sat on a table.
She was staring at a wall. Metal, with a greenish tint to it’s cold, water stained surface. Confused and still half-asleep,
In front of them was a large room with a bunk bed, a desk, a bulletin board, a briefcase, and a closet. A vault stood in the back corner.
What is the point of any piece of great literature? Or rather, what is great literature? Some would say that accomplished literature is a way of exceptionally telling a story. However, what is the point of storytelling? In many cases, stories are told for entertainment. However, most stories have a moral or theme conveying an important message about life or how to live it. This is the point of great literature, to convey this message beautifully. Some pieces of great literature are The Story-Teller, by Saki, Geraldine Moore the Poet, by Toni Cade Bambara, and Enemy Territory, by William Melvin Kelley. To understand the themes of great literature, you must also understand how to analyze it. The content
Throughout this essay, I am going to explore how architecture and design can be a mechanism which is able to influence the public and have a control over society. On a daily basis, society is continuously being subconsciously impacted and some may say controlled by factors of architecture and design such as propaganda buildings, public spaces, objects, graphics, films and advertisement. I am going to investigate into how each of these aspects may have subliminal messages within them and what effect this may have on individuals and the general public. It is also important to recognise why certain people react to certain manners of architecture and design and how this may have changed over the years. Human behaviour in society is undoubtedly influenced by the creation and construction of the environments they live, work and socialise in. People, subconsciously, tend to live their lives precisely linked to the way the environments they are living within are designed. Factors, like objects and graphics - such as billboard advertisements, in these environments also have an effect on society and how people behave. Architecture and design have the power to encourage people to communicate with one another, they have the power inspire people to explore different aspects of their cities and/or countries. They can encourage someone to become more active, through clever thought and form. Architecture and design have the ability to influence the behaviour of people in prisons, hospitals,
Many Americans are opposed to same-sex marriage, while, at the same time, in support of civil unions (Dudley). Many same-sex marriage opponents disagree based solely on the use of the word “marriage.” Those opponents to same-sex marriage feel that the term marriage is defined by societal norms or established by religious tradition and should be limited to only define a relationship between a man and a woman. Opponents to same-sex marriage based solely on the use of the word “marriage” point out that “from a lawful perspective, marriage and civil unions encompass the same benefits” (Smith). The argument over what to call same-sex marriage however fails to take into account the true nature of what members of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) community seek and what opponents oppose. Members of the LGBT community seek full marriage equality in term and in accomplishment, not a separate but equal standing. We need to extend the debate beyond terminology and focus our attention towards the issue of why the LGBT community merits equal access to all rights, specifically marriage.
