I chose the first picture for the relationship between Autumn and Sylv. Although they were a couple, they were best friends first and foremost. They didn’t let anyone stop them from being who they were. They were looked down upon in society and they were thought of being crazy or unethical. Yet this didn’t stop them. Not even Autumn’s brother. In my opinion, if you love someone, you can’t stop yourself from loving them. So it’s unfair to tell someone in a same sex relationship that they are wrong or a sinner for loving who they love. And as many people have stated, if you love someone let them go, this is demonstrated with this couple in many ways. For one, their willingness to let each other go to colleges far away from each other to pursue …show more content…

All the characters in this book had a reason to fear him. That’s what they all had in common. It drew them closer. He was playing a game of survival, and they were his pawns. But even the tiny pawns can take down a king positioned right. Autumn was a dancer. A ballerina to be exact. She loved dance just like her mother. She hid it from her abusive father. And now she was dancing to distract her brother to let others escape to find life. It all played out perfectly. Tyler’s focus was on his sister as she told him how wrong it was to be doing this. Tomás and Fareed had unlocked the auditorium doors and were guiding people out. And Autumn knew she had to keep Tyler distracted. She knew it was life or death now, for her classmates, fellow students, and neighbors. She didn’t understand how such a caring soul could harm someone. But it happened, and she wasn’t able to keep him distracted for long. But it was long enough to get nearly everyone

On Monday morning, KayDe was at her school's career center when she noticed the weekly newsletter for the staff. "Freak dancing is ... obscene!" she read in Mr. Bennett's column. All dances were going to be called off, he had written, unless students came up with a plan to stop the freak dancing. "I couldn't believe that he was serious," KayDe says. "That's just how we dance—like my parents used to do the twist!" She and Kelley had been elected to plan the Sadie Hawkins dance in February, and if Mr.
What are the elements that help to make a story important and meaningful? This depends on the point of view of the readers since every person has disparate ideas. Nonetheless, in order to stand out from other numerous stories, there must be something special in Winter Dreams so that it is distinguished. In my opinion, the description of the characters could be one of the reasons.
It is uneasy to accept the fact that the way our society is set up is changing; things are not what our history books have said to be anymore. Some changes are, indeed are for the worse, causing despair and agony, but, there are some changes that bring people closer, help spread love and have the vibrancy of beautifying unexplainable emotions flowing. This beautiful change is spreading like the unstoppable virus, captivating the hearts of those stone cold citizens who prefer to live the way our “norms” are set up. This beautiful change is no other than love, same-sex love. Or decades, those who were lesbian or gay have struggled, bullied, tortured, and disowned by their friend and families and all toward what? Because they were different, because they did not live up to the society 's norms, because they fell in love. Our society needs to stop defining the meaning of love; let our hearts define it

The darkness of her bedroom crept into her body. As time progressed the sounds of the evening grew louder leaving her in a state of fear. Amongst the dark room she would see the shadow of someone standing outside her bedroom window. She didn’t know why someone would want to hurt her. Afraid to tell her parents she found refuge underneath the sheets of her bed. After several sleepless nights she spoke to her mother about the mysterious person outside her window.

... Society needs to reevaluate the definition of love and the fact that all humans are created equal and should be able to love whomever they want to. There needs to be more laws and support for same-sex couples and gay marriage. Laws should be made to protect those who choose to love the person of the same-sex, and no discrimination against gays. Judging same-sex marriages should never be acceptable when including: health concerns, adoption, living conditions, job opportunities, ECT... Everyone should be able to love whoever they want and never let anything get into the way of that. In today’s society some people can't be with the person they truly love, because it is not society acceptable in most areas and it is too much of a struggle live like that on a daily basis. The world needs to open their eyes and realize that this is not acceptable under any circumstances.
The night ebbed in the darkness brUGHT t about the memory of the most tragic event in the history of the small town of Greenville. Not knowing the tragedy that would unfold the citizens rested quietly in the slumber of that hot August night. Storm clouds loomed on the horizon with blazes of light that speckled the sky. In the distance the soft rumble of thunder brought no alarm to this quiet little town. Jenny and Blade lived in the rural area of green pine forests on the outskirts of this sleepy little town. Nowhere in the history of Greenville had such a tragedy happens, and no one was aware of the destruction that loomed on the horizon. As the night closed near the midnight hour, the wind seemed to awaken the lifeless living things in
As she walked into the funeral home, all Amanda could notice was tear stained faces, the costumes of black on the people, which symbolizes the somber time ahead, and how hushed everyone was being.

The funeral home was getting to be only standing room because Jacob was acquainted with so many people, and had affected many lives in unique ways. Jacob had passed at the young age of eighteen, with so much life ahead of him. Amanda stood back and watched the events of the funeral, as they unfolded before her eyes.
