Boys Against Girls War “Marcus! Judson! Where are you guys?!?!”
We were playing our traditional boys against girls war with my cousins. This is something I look forward to every year because we get to be outside and build forts. However I have learned that thinking two steps ahead of everything you do really does help.
Marcus, the oldest boy cousin, is twelve years old and very smart. Dolan is nine and is very creative. Judson the youngest person on the boy army is very fast, and also a huge football fan (Go Packers!). All the boys except me were from the same family.
On the girls team there was Taleah, who is fourteen and very tall. She is Marcus’s, Dolan’s, Judson’s and Kellen’s only sister. Kellen is four and a boy, but likes being on the girls army better.

We jumped up and ran after them, desperate to catch up. I felt like a cheetah sprinting through the savannah with the wind howling in my ears to go faster. I listened to it and went the fastest I could. Dolan gradually fell behind me but I didn’t slow down. I didn’t even yell back words of encouragement, I actually yelled back for him to run faster. After a while I had to stop and wait for him.
We had run to one of our bases for a break--it was a little circular fence which we called the wrestling ring, we would wrestle in it (hence the name). It had a gate to it but it took awhile to open, especially if your hands were freezing. There was also a hole in the side that was just big enough for one person to go through at a time, and the girls were just too big. Also, there were spikes pointing out from the hole so no human over the age of six could come in from the outside.
After the break, we set off again looking for the girls, but we suddenly stopped realizing that we didn’t know where Marcus and Judson were.
“Marcus! Judson! Where are you guys?!?!” I screamed at the top of my lungs. “Dolan, come on! Marcus and Judson might have gone back to the
Dieter, a fifteen year old German soldier, is going into war even though his parents don’t want him to. He has no idea what real war is going to be like and he thinks that Germany has done no wrong no matter what the other, elderly soldiers tell him, he doesn’t believe it. The other boy, Spence, is sixteen and he drops out
The characters in A Separate Peace are first seen as children. Gene and Phineas (or Finny), the main characters in A Separate Peace, are first portrayed as regular teenage boys, full of life, energy, and humor. Ready to find fun in everything, the boys even make games out of the war, including the "Super Suicide Society of the Summer Session" (Knowles 24) and "blitzball" (Knowles 29). They jump out of trees as a substitute for jumping out of a plane and throw a round ball around, pretending that it's a bomb. People perceive them as "careless and wild" and perhaps even "a sign of the life the war was being fought to preserve" (Knowles 17). They go through things that everyone experiences as a teen: jealousy, peer pressure, and competition. They don't know very much about the war or about life itself. Finny even blatantly denies the existence of the war, saying that "the fat old men who don't want [them] crowding up their jobs" have "cooked up this war fake" (Knowles 107). One of the boys in their class, Leper, dreams of enlisting in the ski troops, seeing it as a safe, clean way to get involved in the war rather than having to kill and destroy.
If u see David, Charles, and I at once people would think we was all brothers. Charles can be quiet sometimes but he also has a wild side to him. Brandon is my other cousin. He is the live wire out of the bunch. Brandon is pretty much ready for anything.

Thesis: The war overseas, but there are millions of veterans still fighting the war at home.
The main protagonists in the novel are Kerry (in which the story revolves around her) and Yvette (Kerry’s co-worker at her summer job in which they become friends). Kerry Yvette isTheir boss; Harcourt (the fire boss at base one), is an arrogant man and treats Kerry and Yvette like trash and could care less about their needs and safety as he sends them out without any radio or communication system and says, “Do I look like I’m worried? Your chariot awaits, girls” (Page 25). There are countless numbers of firemen, but the ones that hang around Kerry and Yvette the most are Didier and Aubrey in which Kerry falls in love with Aubrey. Didier is a sympathetic young man and treats both girls with much respect and helps them when they need help. Aubrey is quieter, and is different compared to the rest of the firemen which Kerry finds appealing. He helps Kerry and when Kerry is stuck with confusion, he explains to her to put trust in him, “Let your mind and heart work like friends-who love and trust each other” (Page 153). Later in the novel, there are new characters including Matt (a pilot in which Yvette sort of has a crush on), Rolf (an older man who is the chef of the kitchen), Slash (a man Rolf hires to help Kerry and Yvette in the kitchen) and Sirois (the fire boss at base two). Matt is a kind...
The complete contrast of Finny and Gene is a boy named Leper. Leper was not interested in much and is the first of the boys mentioned to go to war. Leper introduces the boys into the adult world before entering the army. His freedom is ended by the strict rules and behaviors of the army and he then changes severely.
They are boys that are growing up in the middle of a war. The purpose of this essay is that it is a
The boys had to say together so they could survive and not get caught by the rebel force. Also people in the villages thought they were a part of the rebel force and would hid from them. They would fight over getting caught and not being able to get food. He shows resiliences in this by not fighting them also but acting mature and trying to keep everyone from getting
The first game was in a field the shape of a banana with a dogleg on one side and a dry creek bed as deep enough to provide good cover. I grouped up with two of my friends at our teams flag station and waited for the ref’s whistle. We waited for a minute in anxious silence, then the whistle blew we sprinted to the creek bed. The creek bed is about halfway across the field so we weren’t sure if the other team would get there first so we were all wary. Then we saw the creek bed. It was empty, for now. Five reds were almost as close to the bed as we were. They saw us and ducked for cover, we slid into the creek bed. I popped my safety in to the fire position and popped off about 20 shots into the group of reds, my teammates did the same. Four of the reds shouted, “HIT!!!” and walked off the field. One of my friends was hit in the clash and walked off the field. That left just two of us in the creek bed. We decided that we should go over the top and make a charge on the last red in front of us, we did and my friend got him. We charged down the sideline to get to the other teams flag. We made it about 50 yards before we saw anyone else, when we did it was all newbee’s and little kids (a newbee is a person who is still new to paintball, you can tell them apart by their rental equipment and lack of skill).
"We get back to the shore, and I can not see where we came coast." Exhausted brother shouted.
On February 21, 2016, I, Deputy John Arnold, went to 11747 West 105th Street South to assist another deputy in reference to a fight in progress.
It was 4 o’clock pm. The sun had just started to go down. Kids are outside playing after school. My brother Jason was in the 8th grade and I was in 3rd. We had another brother that always played with us too, but I guess that day he was currently busy at the time or just did not like the game Jason and I were playing. My brother, Jason, and I had come up with this game. It involved a soccer ball and a few lines and the only thing that really had made the difference, the garage door. We have a three-car garage and the two-car portion was always open when my brothers and I were in the front playing. We had to use the small door that only one car could fit through. It was the perfect size for the goal.
A secret agent. A professional football player. A fire fighter. These would have been my responses when asked that inevitable question, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" Family, Media and Peers are said to have influenced my views concerning the role I am to play society. All of these factors had one thing in common. They all were influencing me to behave according to my gender. Everything from the clothes I wore to the toys I played with contributed to this. Even now as a young adult my dreams and aspirations are built around the gender roles that were placed on me.
After countless hours of uncomfortable naps and tasteless meals between flights, we finally arrived at the unfamiliar land of America. Leaving all our dear friends and families behind, I was told that we came here in hope of a better future, my future specifically. I was never really socially active and at the time, English was a whole new concept that I have yet to understand. The inability to communicate with other makes it even harder for me to express myself and it mold my personality to become more antisocial than I ever was. There’s always this uneasy feeling that linger when someone talk to me and I cannot give them a response and it’s even harder to say something because I was afraid of making a mistake and make a fool out of myself.
