Teenage girls lined up like militant soldiers moving in the same sequence to B.G.’s “Bling-Bling” Everyone looked up and stared as the very noticeable squad car crept by, hoping to shake the local people, but no one moved just cold stares back, as if it was a showdown in the wild wild west. Junkies pasted by with squeaking shopping carts filled with old telephones, hubcaps and Styrofoam cups and plates.

How did resolve to blow down these lodgings and gobble the inhabitants on the morrow. And on that morn, he blew upon the hut of straw, and he did gobble the pig into quivering chunks.

... of sadness. “How’s Patsy handling it?” My mother asks. Later, after what seemed to be a very emotionally draining conversation, my mother comes to me. She tells me that my aunt, Patsy’s daughter Trisha has died. I never knew her well, so up to this point I did not have much of an emotional reaction to the news. However, I knew that her death would devastate her mother. I doubt any parent takes the death of their child well, a parent never expects to witness the funeral of their child. My family is invited to the funeral, and we assure the couple we will attend. The following morning my mother, brother and I embark on the trip. It was held at Rosehills in a lit ...

... There are millions from the size of a quarter to the largeness basketball. Oh, the smell!!! I have never smelled anything so beautiful in all my life. Only God himself could create a smell so sweet and delicate. My heart is immediately thankful that god gave me such a heavenly paradise. As I continue my walk I wonder if I am alone or if this enchanted tropical rain forest has other inhabitants.

... I knew what was going on I was in . I already miss my friends, my family, and especially Abbey. I am constantly numb with the fear that I will have to kill another human being, or worse I myself will be shot and killed. How could my family and Abbey deal with this? Everyone here hates the war and just wants to go home to their families. Everyday dozens of men are shot or killed by land mines, and I am really becoming depressed. I have seen so many men die just inches away from me. All I can think of is that could be me. I have come to the conclusion that war is the most awful and barbaric thing that anyone would ever have to go through, and I hate it. One ni ...

I would try to put pressure on the legislators to have a bill passed that would define the ways money should be spent, and to monitor the progress of finding a cure for this deadly disease. Second and more importantly is the matter of education. AIDS is not just a gay issue, it is a problem that affects everyone of us. The message of educating our children on drugs appears to be working. The same should be d ...
