(http://www.holocaustresearchproject.org/othercamps/Majdanek%20Daily%20life/majdanekdailylife.html) The prisoner to be whipped, put his feet behind a special board at the rear of the table and they lay down on their stomachs.

I had followed in my father’s footsteps, who had followed his father’s footsteps, and joined the Army a year after High School. The difference between them and I was I had aspirations of becoming the man who would later break down Osama Bin Laden’s door. No, I was not that guy, there, or even in the Military when that happened. I just thought I was going to be the cool guy who would get that kind of phone call. I had the grades on the ASVAB, which is a placement exam used by the military to…
mermaid. Like those beach mermaids you can sculpt out of sand around someone’s mostly buried body. Anyways, within a few seconds Zack and a few others from the group joined us. “Ready! Set! Push!” Zack yelled. In unison, we all pushed the giant snowball that was now the same height as my shoulders. At first it didn’t budge, but then it started to roll. Everyone else started to push even harder than they were before, so I pushed harder. I was using all the strength my scrawny arms had. Then out…
The sweet pumpkin pie, the tart apple pie, and of course, the rich, chocolate ice-cream topped off the amazing meal. I glanced from face to face, privately thanking God for each family member. There were smiles everywhere, from my brother's mischievous grin, to my grandmother's heartwarming smile. I looked around the room at the decorations I had helped my mother put up. Pictures of pumpkins, still up from last Halloween, hung next to Christmas wreathes and holly. In the center of the…

back and forth in the ignition to see if it would turn on, but there was no luck. Everything else in the car was working, except the engine. Once we ruled out that the battery was still okay, my dad got out of the car, went to the trunk, took out a tarp and laid it on the ground under the truck so he could see what was going wrong. Because my dad has a history with mechanics, he normally is able to figure out what is wrong with a car, but this time he just was not able to find out what it was.…
So I observed everyone has I made the call, looking to see who was about to answer their cell phones. “Ring, ring, ring, Hello” he answered. Remembering that the young man was waiting on his cell phone I quickly spoke. “I am here, where are you? I am using someone’s phone”. Then I saw a short man with a muscular built rushing in, looking all over while on the phone saying “I don’t see you”. Being that I saw him, I returned the phone and when and touched him on his shoulder. He was not nearly…

John B Priestley’s play, “An Inspector Calls’ was written after the Second World War during the Victorian and Edwardian period. During this period was when division between the behaviour of the older and younger generations could be clearly recognised. The older generation consist of Mr and Mrs Birling whom throughout the play fail to admit that they had any part in the death of Eva, as their reputation is the only thing that concerns them. Conversely the younger generation, Sheila and Eric feel…
