Lego Fire: A Personal Narrative
Hello, Allison.
I heard about the fire in Walmart, didn't something like that could happen to a place that's not too far from me. I'm glad no one was hurt. Also good description of stepping on the Lego, piece. Reading it gave me flashbacks of when I would step on them and nearly fall over so I wouldn't feel the full impact of it.

    Chaotic Arsonist: A Short Story

    As they had previously planned, Roy met up with Captain Stanley at a diner not usually frequented by firefighters. Both were more concerned than before as when the other crew members were asked how they thought Johnny did on his first day back, they all felt something was off. No one could really pinpoint what was different – just that Johnny seemed to distance himself from everyone and wasn’t quite the same person he was before going on disability leave. All wondered if it was due to being a victim of Chaotic Arsonist, as the media had dubbed the fire starter or something else. However, it almost seemed more than that, as if Johnny held some sort of secret.…

    We All Fall Down Reading Response Essay

    The literature was very well written and you were able to feel the connection between you and the characters. For example when Will and his father were traveling down the stairwell and came to the levels where the main point of the fire was, you could almost feel the heat like you were right beside them. This helped me imagine what these people in this disaster were going through, it really put what happened in perspective for me. Having these outstanding details helped me understand the severity of this horrible event. There were many parts in the story where you could feel the characters pain or struggle, like when Will tripped over a piece of cement when the tower had collapsed, I could feel the pain that he was going through when he thought he lost his father for ever. I feel like this book could improve if there was a little bit more advanced vocabulary, especially during the very intense moments. I would have also liked to see more of an ending, like what happened when they went to pick up Will's friend from the fire station or what happened when he got home to his mom. Having something at the end like that would have made to story more interesting at the end, not just them getting to safety and then the story ending. Overall this book was very intriguing and well written, and I would definitely read this book…

    Personal Narrative: The Vial Of Fire

    After 7 months of searching, we had finally found the location of the sixteenth artifact for our collection. After piecing together all of the stories and legends, we finally found a bit of truth. The Vial Of Fire was an ancient weapon that was said to be created by the Egyptians. In their time it was a medicine designed to give someone the ability to ignite in flames for a small amount of time, and was used mostly for cauterizing wounds of friends injured while building the pyramids. We had already found The Vial of Strength, and the The Vial of Speed from the same time period. Each of these vials had the last remaining ounces of the immensely powerful potions that made it possible for humans to make the pyramids on their own. After…

    Fire Culture Research Paper

    What is fire culture? What does that even mean? Well, I guess to know, you have to know something about what culture is and what cumulative it deposits of knowledge, experience, beliefs, values, hierarchies, religion and more. Now imagine having to live with people you do not know and having different work experience, beliefs, background, age etc. Well, that is what firefighters do. How does this work you may ask? It works because they have the same goals, the same values, and there is not really that many careers out there where you have a second family, where you know your brother or sister will not only have your back when it counts but one day may even save your life. Just like any good organization it has its challenges and these challenges have been changing the fire services since the 1950s.…

    To Build A Fire And The Most Dangerous Game Analysis

    The struggle of man versus nature long has dwelt on the consciousness of humanity. Is man an equal to his environment? Can the elements be conquered or only endured? We constantly find ourselves facing these questions along with a myriad of other questions that cause us to think, where do we fit? These questions, crying for a response, are debated studied and portrayed in both Jack London’s “To Build a Fire” and “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell. Throughout both stories, we see the settings, the Yukon in “To Build a Fire” and an island in the south Atlantic in “The Most Dangerous Game”, both raw untamed wildernesses, take a toll on the main characters in a very different fashion.…

    A Doll's House Research Paper

    A Doll's House Research Paper

    A Doll’s House, by Henrik Ibsen, portrays a young married woman, Nora, who plays a dramatic role of deception and self-indulgence. The author creates a good understanding of a woman’s role by assuming Nora is an average housewife who does not work; her only job is to maintain the house and raise the children like a stereotypical woman that cannot work or help society. In reality, she is not an average housewife in that she has a hired maid who deals with the house and children. Although Ibsen focuses on these “housewife” attributes, Nora’s character is ambitious, naive, and somewhat cunning. She hides a dark secret from her husband that not only includes borrowing money, but also forgery. Nora’s choices were irrational; she handled the situations very poorly in this play by keeping everything a secret. The way that women were viewed in this time period created a barrier that she could not overcome. The decisions that had the potential to be good were otherwise molded into appalling ones. Women should have just as many rights as men and should not be discriminated by gender; but they should also accept consequences in the same way without a lesser or harsher punishment.…

    Personal Narrative: The Game That Changed My Life

    In seventh grade I wanted to tryout for volleyball. I was very nervous because I had never played it before. I was super happy when I found out all my friends and I made the team. We had a lot of practices in December to get ready for games in January. I was really nervous for our first game. Our first game was supposed to be right after christmas break ended, but we had a snow day so it was cancelled. I wished it hadn’t been so I could just get it over with, but i was gonna have to wait. We were scheduled for another game later that week. I woke up with a phone ringing and an answering machine saying that school was cancelled due to boiler issues. I sat in bed thinking I had once again gotten lucky and we had no game, I was wrong. We were…
