Mowing the Lawn
Mowing the lawn Today it happens again, we’ve only just restored the town, but never to its former glory. The largest catacombs, majestic queen parlors and bedrooms all were housed in the pre-destroyed city. We also had one of the best hospitals in all the land and the staff was so determined to keep the occupant completely cared for. Like that was their only job. Even fighting the Reds attack we were superior. All was written in down on our history wall. How we invaded their home and killed them all. Taking the queen out and killing any workers that got in the way. Yes, we lost courageous workers, but not as many as the Reds. One of our scouts saw the beast earlier today. We have not been able to come up with a name for the beast, other than beast. The beast is unfathomable tall and just as long. And is usually accompanied by another beast, we have come to call a Noiry. They are composed by two enormous pillars and then two more pillars hanging from the heavens. These Noiries we have fought before and won, but are then usually thrown with one of their pillars.
` We can feel the two come closer and closer. With each pass they come closer and closer. Their steps cause the earth to shake and make our cement to fall and crack. The workers try to combat the two and leave the nest, but are usually are never seen again. Their movement causes vibrations so intense; we can barely walk. Then they come over the nest. Our roof is destroyed and taken away to the unknown, with it the young and many workers in the nursery. Many try to go rescue the defenseless young and some succeed but others are sucked away into the beast.
It’s been a day since the attack; one of our scouts came back today and said that he thought he heard the two beasts talking about what they have done. They kept saying the same words again, again. As we continued to rebuild after the attack that never have a name; the scout uttered the words which we now call the attacks, mowing the

    The patriots defeated the British in Princeton, Bennington, Saratoga, Oriskany, Ft. Stanwix, Concord, Valley Forge, Trenton, and Yorktown. The Winter at Valley Forge was a lose for the patriots, over 2,000 men died that winter, and many gave up and went back home to their families. These victories have caused loses in large numbers and bigger hopes and dreams of our Patriotic forces. There were some patriot loses: Philadelphia, Brandywine, Germantown, New York City, and Ft. Ticonderoga. The victory in Yorktown was our last but one of our greatest victories this whole revolution. The 17,000 American and French troops that were sent into the battlefield made the British General Cornwallis surrender his troops and himself in October 19,1781. It…

    The 1910s and 1920s were two important decades consisting of many significant events from World War One to Canada gaining its independence. For my radio segments, I chose to talk about the Battle of Ypres and sinking of the Lusitania. Firstly, I chose to report about the second battle that occurred at Ypres, Belgium in 1915 because it was one of first times that Canadians fought Europeans and fought well no matter the circumstances. In the 1910s, people valued bravery immensely because it was a sign of masculinity and virility. Men used to sign up for the war solely to not feel left out or inferior in terms of fortitude. In the Battle of Ypres, Canadian troops counterattacked the Germans to close the gap created by the poison gas and the soldiers held the line long enough for…

    Saratoga Turning Point

    Britain had many flaws in the fight because they used 3-way campaigns which gave them a disadvantage. If they attacked in one force, then the British would’ve won the war, but that was not the case. America now was known for the fight and now is a superstar. America now goes allies, which helped them a lot in the future. British lost the war, which made them suffer a lot and they had to make a treaty with the Americans. This gave the Americans independence and freedom. The turning point of America affected the American Revolution on this day on. If we haven’t had won this war, then Britain would have remained a strong military force while we would’ve been a weak military force. We wouldn’t have grown like we have right now. We wouldn’t have allies that have our back and we wouldn’t have much money. America is now known as one of the strongest military instead of Britain. America is a great country and we fought to be that great country. America is lovely and the…

    Epic similes are literary comparisons meant to distract the reader from the story. In The Odyssey, the author Homer uses epic similes to detract the reader from the brutality present in battle. These similes demonstrate the festal and barbaric qualities that men adopt when they are in battle and often compare warriors to majestic animals, like lions, attacking prey.…

    Peoria State Hospital

    On the eerie day of June 6 1896, the Peoria State Hospital was on its way to being built( dun dun dahhhhh). Then on the date of December 22, 1897 the facility was almost ready to be opened. Following the the opening on February 10, 1902 was a deadly day in history ( psst not really) the facility had been opened to its first 100 patients, by April there were over 634 patients ( I bet it was very luxurious). By the time the facility had been open for a year many “criminal acts” had been “happening” inside the building. On October 13 of 1903 a nurse had been beaten by to death by two other patients, but the murder was never tried (oh my). You may be thinking to yourself, “Wow this seems like a great place to live in!”…NOT! Many deaths have occurred in the building including the deaths of infants from patients in the facility. In 1905 Dr. Zeller a doctor at the facility made a notion to have all bars and restraints from the building (well this should be interesting). Jumping to a few years later, in 1967 a female nurse had been murdered, having been hit in the head with a steel bar from a lid of a garbage can. In the year of 1972 there had been three deaths in the building, including a patient Bernard Roe who was struck in the head with a chair at lunch by another patient, patient Jerome Spence was beaten by an inmate with had a 3 year old mentality, and James Logan who died of an ear infection. In December of 1973 the facility closed and the 600 patients in the facility were relocated. Today, the building is still standing but is not a working facility. It is only opened to the public, but for a special reason (oohh). The facility is opened for (drum roll please dadadadda) , ghost hunting! Now, you may be thinking no way, this place can’t be haunted, I mean there weren’t that many brutal deaths (well your wrong). The facility has had many professional ghost hunters come in, including famous TV shows, such as “Ghost Hunters” and “Ghost…

    In 1914 Prime Minister Laurier spoke on behalf of a great many Canadians when he said: “It is our duty to let Great Britain know and to let the friends and foes of Great Britain know that there is in Canada but one mind and one heart that all Canadians are behind the Mother Country.”[3] The Canadians considered themselves a colony of Britain, and showed immediate support for Britain as they went to war. With a contingent of 3,110 men the Canadian expeditionary force was off to Britain. After an accelerated training during the winter of 1915, the Canadians deployed to France with a false sense of preparedness. The battle fields as they had pictured it and the glory they had dreamt about, quickly faded as they embraced the cruel reality of the cold and muddy French battlefields.…

    There is a common saying:” Nations are made in war.” According to many, Vimy Ridge was the first time when Canadians really felt a sense of national identity. Just like the famous comment made by Brigadier General Alex Cross "It was Canada from the Atlantic to the Pacific on parade. I thought …that in those few minutes I witnessed the birth of a nation." The Ridge was a key position of the German defence system in northern France. Here the four divisions of the Canadian advanced side by side for the first time. Here the young volunteers from across the nation trained and fought as “Canadians”, not just a part of the Empire. Here the commanders invented the “rolling barrage”. Here a full-scale replica of the battlefield was built and the soldiers trained day and night. At Vimy Ridge, the Canadians captured more ground and prisoners than any previous British attack. However, the battle at Vimy came at a high cost: the 16,000 casualties brought devastation to home while victory was celebrated and the conscription debate shook the fragile unity in the country. Anyway, Vimy Ridge showed that although Canada has never had a huge army or talked about patriotism all the time, her people can fight, and fight well when they need to.…
