 Missing. 


All black scenery

Setting is a church. 


It was raining, inside. 

No umbrellas. 


Battle cries of

young and old. 


Makeup and thoughts,

Running.


There was no color, but 

the flowers. 


There was a count of everyone.

There was some one missing. 


He said he could do anything. 

He said he can make miracles. 

He said nothing happens without

a reason.

He said that he is always there.


Yet He is missing. 

The other man

Posted by Graham Davis in Storytelling - Chase on



The Other Man. 


She looks at me with eyes of emptiness. 

She looked right through me. 

Across to the other man on the other side. 


I am invisible. But my floating, beating heart is the 

only thing that is seen


She walks through me. 

To the other man. 


She is held. 

By the other man. 


She is kissed. 

By the other man. 


Hair was stroked.

By the other man. 


My heart stopped floating.

There was now a hole in it. 

 

Put there by 

The other man. 

Torture

The Emotion that we picked was torture, and we decided to do something a little out of the box with the emotion and looked at it from a different perspective. 

25 word short love stories.

2/14
Mystery 

She elegantly sat in the dim, romantic candle light. Waiting for the mystery figure to come in the door, just to see it wasn't him.



2/15
Unexpected. 

Pacing back and fourth, thinking to himself. Brunette or blonde? Blue or Hazel eyes? Roses in hand she came; a red head, green eyed perfection. 

Gone again.

All of the lights
Blackout
Who will survive in America
The messenger 
Like me
Lost in the world
Ill be Waiting 
Waiting for the end
When they come for me
I just wanna Run 
Runaway 
In the next room 
Stop and Stare
Hearing voices 
Who Dat
You know what it is 
Maybe Wretches and Kings 
Right above it
Cold wind Blows
The Downfall of us all 
Bright Lights 
Where the Story ends.

I went about reading and choosing ones that I thought i related to the most. It was harder doing the court case ones, because some times it wouldnt relate to you at all. There was a lot of reading involved with this. And picking the right ones really was more difficult. i basically went through all the aspects of my life and picked the ones that matched with something in common or had to do anything with that thing that i picked from my life.
I think that it was more difficult than i thought because having the thing relate to you really had to be spot on. Making sure that you picked the right one was the hardest part. There was a lot that i didnt expect like typing something up and  then realizing that there was no connection even though i thought there might have been and you had to go and find a better example. 
When i turned 18 it felt alot different because  i thought that the govt. was more in my life; i am able to get arrested, and i have to sign up for the draft. Just thinking of those 2 small things is scary. There are not a lot of things however when you are younger, but as you get older you worry more and more about them.

I learned that there is way more in the govt. that effects my every day life. In positive and negative ways. there is a lot now that i realize effects me that i never knew before. 

 



c. Do you anticipate your life becoming more or less affected by the govt. as you get older? Explain.

d. Any other thoughts on your learning process.

Here is the letter i wrote first to the organization and it sums up what i want to be doing and how i further want to help.  

Dear Pro life,     
    I am doing a project in school about how/ and who can reduce the # of abortions each year, all over. There are some people with in the state of PA that would like to see this happen as well and can spread that news to higher powered authorities in the state and all over. Abortion is something that i see as a major crime, and should be treated as a crime.
    I have been researching about the effects that it has on specific people, and why. also i have been really looking into who is for and against it so i can know who will  help and who will not. There are a couple of senators that are really into not having the government support anything that has to do with abortion and taking a life. Even the President of the United States is for not having the govt. pay for any kind of abortion related activity within the US, and that can be a major changing factor for winning this battle sometime in the future. There is a lot to be thinking about in that there are a lot of factors that only one can seem capable of completing. There are things that I as a young adult can only complete in this challenge.     I need to know what i can be doing, and even if i can be doing anything to further help the organization of pro-life, to thence and further produce a positive effect on the people who are trying.

​What has been done:
Research for those who are bound and affected by abortion and what it can do to them. The cases that were made for the peoples benefit in life alongside of having an abortion.
There were several major players in the government that had a say. There was a lot that was talked about and brought up among the people of the Govt. but they have their way of saying things and we have ours.
There are things that i will be able to do however that could impact very few , or hundreds of thousands of people.
    There are things that i saw in my project that i thought could use some work , and right now this isnt the best for them. Having other people take so much time as a result of a problem is even worse about doing  something your self.
    There are thinks that i will do, i have. There are some kids out that just want hope, not someone saying they want to help.
    The letter was sent out again telling them what can i do to an organization that handles just these situations; making sure that there are things to be done.
    Here is the letter i wrote first to the organization and it sums up what i want to be doing and how i further want to help. 


Reflection

  • Briefly summarize the bureaucratic 'task' that you selected.

Well for ours, Rob and I, we had to research the process in order to get your car registered, we also found out about things like changing your plates in the process. There were steps that had to be taken in order to get you car registered. 

Process:

We first broke down the work according to what the other person was willing to do. 

Then we divided it evenly and gathering as much information as a team, we then picked out the most important things that we both had researched that were the same. 

We put the major steps that we found in order to get your registration and we put them in a bulleted list and arranged them in the best order in order to complete the price. 

I then sent the list to rob, and he has done more flow charts than I have, so he put the bulleted list in order, and after that was done. 

After that was done, i got any forms that were necessary for registering your car and i filled those out. 

The Paperwork: 
Was quite simple there was one for a registration, and then one for a custom plate change. They were easy to fill out ant to the point. 
I think that the change that would be made is the program that we used, there was another that was found later but to late, and you could add a lot more. 
Registering your car doesnt seem as complicated as the other processes that i have heard about so im not sure if it was complicated, but for us it seemed pretty simple. 
I think we did well but it can always improve. 

Course of action!
