Tessa Mclane awoke at the 10th hour of the day. In a thirty hour day most people normally go to sleep on the 1st and awake at the 10th. It may seem like a lot of sleep, but they do stay awake for twenty hours a day. She felt refreshed and rather happy. It is her fifteenth birthday after all. She was determined to make it happy. Tessa did not think about the prophecy. Since she is born on the first of the new year, consisting of ten thirty day seasons, she brought Rowan himself in a long time ago to make sure her birthday would be fine. She is certain he didn't lie to her. She is a princess after all. She has power over his life...or death. She would never imagine someone would be stupid enough to lie to her, not that she knows how to harm even the most tiny and useless of creatures. Part of the reason Tessa is so jolly is because it's her birthday, but the other reason is she has no recall of her nightmare last night. She was in a boat, with people she did not believe she knew, and even if she did it was far too dark to see their faces. The boat was gently shaking, yet it was steady. Suddenly, a huge wave came and knocked her into the deep ocean. The wave held her down so long that she was just about out of air when she awoke, and had no memory of the dream. She walks over to a long mirror in the corner of her room. Her undeveloped body is covered by a white silk rope. Her soft, white hair falls to her shoulders, and her piercing ice blue eyes stared back at her. She turns her attention to her face powder on her dresser. She hums her happy little song and mends to her innocent thoughts while doing her makeup. She was determined to make this a happy day, even if fate said otherwise. Libby Capri sat down in the... ... middle of paper ... ...fore she could escape. With a sigh she looked into the horizon. 'What a lovely, yet annoying day,' she thought to herself. The sky is perfect, the sun is amazing, and there is a slight breeze blowing though her hair. Everything was perfect. Since Tessa is a pixie she only had one year to go before she would really start to get her powers in. Sixteen, that would be the year she would get her perfect birthday. This year is not good, and it doesn't seem like it's going to get better. She focused in the distance, not believing what she thought she saw. Hundreds, no thousands, of creatures destroying the streets of Clearway. They probably already attacked the kingdom on Goldfield, and were planned on going to Ricen next, They are dark as night, with wrinkled skin, empty eye sockets, and had an expression that they were in intense pain. Tessa opens her mouth to scream.

Her face is smooth, calculated, and precision-made, like an expensive baby doll, skin like flesh- colored enamel, blend of white and cream and baby-blue eyes, small nose, pink little nostrils-everything working together except the color on her lips and fingernails, and the size of her bosom.

All the King’s Men, written by Robert Penn Warren, is set deep in the south during the 1930’s. This is a story of the rise and fall of a political titan. Willie Stark comes from poverty to become the governor of his state. He forces his enemies into submission by blackmails, repeated threats, and bullies them.

The Reign of Terror History is said to be written by the winners, but is it possible to rewrite the history of the rewrite? In a way, the French, like many who have preceded them, and many who will proceed have done the impossible, rewriting history. From trivial folklore, such as George Washington chopping down a cherry tree, to the incredibly wrong, the African slave trade; people's views of history can be. shaped and molded by the. The French have done a superb job of instilling all of us.
The Reign of Terror was a time during the French Revolution hundreds of thousands of people were executed by various means: guillotine, shot, and drowned. The Committee of Public Safety, lead by Maximilien de Robespierre, were in charge of these executions, and with the job of finding anti-revolutionaries forces. Many thought that what Robespierre was doing would just lead to a greater anti-revolution movement, which would in turn increase the number of executions. Others did not take action against the terror; for fear that they themselves might be executed. Those who were still loyal to the revolution saw the terror as a noble cause; they saw it as a way to rid France of anti-revolutionary forces. While the terror started as an advantage to the revolution ridding anti-revolution ideals from France it began to change in to a disadvantage; it was a disadvantage because, it showed just how radical the revolutionaries could be.
Fragments of glass reflect pieces of her. Lily-white skin. Primped, hanging curls the color of corn. A button nose. Cherry ribbon lips. Opaque forget-me-not blue eyes. The dark pupils dilate and swivel, dilate and swivel, but her eyes are sightless. She sees, but she does not.
