What had been going on in the hours in between? Police sergeant Jack Clemmons took the call. It was Dr. Ralph Greenson who was so agitated that Clemmons couldn't understand him. "Marilyn Monroe is dead," the psychiatrist said, "she just committed suicide." "Marilyn was lying face down in what I call the soldier's position," said Clemmons.
Elizabeth L., Paper 1 How could anyone forget the day America was attacked? I obviously had shut my alarm clock off assuming it was Saturday. A couple of moments later I jumped out of bed realizing I had overslept. I was going to be late for work, which is so unlike me. I made my way out the door and headed onto the highway.

It was a hard fought game all the way through until we broke out 6 runs in the final inning the clinch the win. Our fourth game was against the hosting team of the tournament, Stilly Valley Little League. We knew it was going to be one of our toughest opponents since they were all well rested because they didn’t have to drive 6 hours to get there. Once again, we started off very slow and let them gain the lead by 2 runs after the first inning. We came back around the 5th inning with the score still at 2-0 and we scored 4 runs to get us back into the game.
Like so many families, waving good-bye to a soldier could have meant that would be the last time they would be seen. Many thousands of wives, children, and parents hugged and said good-bye to brave and valiant young men who never returned. Mrs. Cave and her family witnessed the sad good byes. She said this was probably the most memorable part and this will stick with her the rest of her life. She also said from that day on, people did not want to be out of hearing distance of the radio; holding their breath at each news release regarding the raid on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese in a sneak attack which killed Americans and nearly destroyed the US Naval fleet.
So I decided to spend the night at the falls. That night I wasn’t able to get a wink of sleep. There were so many noises and mosquitos that I didn’t know what to do but cover myself with branches and leaves. It seemed to keep the mosquitos away but not the animal noises. Finally, morning came and I started running the last three and a half miles as fast as my extremely sore legs would carry me.
On April 15, 1986 I stared intently at the night sky through a skylight from my twin size bed in Rutland, watching for the fiery explosion of missiles and bombs, praying to God that I wouldn’t die that night. I had seen bits and pieces of the news about the United States attack on Libya, knew Gadaffi was a bad guy, and saw my parents engrossed in this turn of events. As an eleven year old girl with a tendency to worry too much, I was paralyzed by fear. As I lay in bed weeping silently for the family and life I was convinced I was about to lose, I just prayed it would happen fast and not hurt too much. As we all know now, the whole mission was successful and we’re still here today.
Every once in awhile a hurricane will strike North Carolina and mostly when a hurricane comes people get scared and lock themselves inside their homes until it is safe again. I was in the same boat, but I knew this was going to be one hurricane that I would never forget. I was about five years old and the younger of my two sisters. The three of us together were hard to handle. My mom worked for the local hospital and got stuck at work the night Hurricane Bonnie decided to knock at our door.
Lisa Lawrence ENC1101-10 Week 3 I almost felt like a teenager sneaking home after being out all night. Instead, I was a Mother of three pretending as I just woke up. “Hey honey, got to leave early today, I have a road test to take.” “Sorry to hear that, how early?” I proceeded to the kitchen where coffee was brewing and Chuck was looking for his yellow and blue coffee mug. “Oh about an hour should leave me plenty of time.” I could care less really, but pretended as I did, assuring the next two hours would be peaceful. I felt guilty because Chuck had no idea I hired a divorce lawyer.
GUN CONTROL & GUN VIOLENCE School was extremely dull that day but, I managed to endure through the six hours of mercilessness, with the thought and anticipation of going home to my father fueled me. The day finally came to a close. When the bus dropped me off I went trudging along, happily ignoring the police and yellow tape around the house; until I was stopped by my neighbor. She said these exact words, “Your father is not at home. Go to your babysitter.” Her words were succinct and verbatim I told her she was wrong that and my mother told me to come home.
