How could this happen? Dana’s life would have been perfect. Her hobby, being home schooled, and everything else. She missed her books, her hair, her mom, and Gwen! Her mom was always commenting on how Dana’s eyes sparkled when she read. If only she could have known this would happen. Then everything would have been okay, she could have brought some books and said goodbye. How would she ever get home? Did the old her disappear or was the she was now in her place?
So what was happening in this person’s life? Her name was Josephine and there was something about her going to America? Dana just could not remember. Someone calling her interrupted Dana’s thinking.
“Jo! Get up or we’ll be late!” A minute later, a young man walked into the room. His dark hair was cut short and close to his head, his dull blue eyes were like the ocean before a storm.
“Where are we going?” Josephine asked.
“We have to be in Queenstown by 3:00PM.” He answered.
“What ship are we traveling on?”
“We are traveling on the RMS Titanic. She is supposedly unsinkable. I bought 2nd class tickets. I heard even the 3rd class accommodations are grand.”
“Did you say Titanic?”
“Yes. I call Betsy to help you dress.” he said“, Betsy!”
A young girl scurried into the room. She looked around 14 or 15. She had beautiful hair. It was the classic red-brown hair of an Irish person. She wore a plain brown dress with a white apron over.
Betsy picked up a corset and put it close to where Jo was standing. Betsy stood behind Jo as she unbuttoned her nightgown. It was loose fitting and soon slid off Jo’s shoulders. Betsy picked up the corset, Jo stepped into it, and the maid soon started to tighten it until Jo thought she couldn’t breathe. Next, the maid picked up a beautiful green silk dress with layers of white lace. Dana put the dress on and Betsy buttoned the back. Betsy was now combing my fiery red hair hair. As she tugged hard to get the brush through my curly hair. The she coiled it and stuck in a butterfly comb. She left me to put on my own shoes; I slipped on white high shoes. I was kneeling next to my trunk for clothes and other things. Then I opened up the lid to have a light fragrance of lavender come out. I pushed the clothes on top to reveal stacks of books.
“Jo, come out now we have to go!” The young man called.
“I’ll be right out.” I called.
I hurried toward the doorway where the young man stood. He lead my out to a black shiny automobile. The driver opened the and stuck out a hand to help my in. I stepped inside and sat down on the black leather seat facing the sliding window. My brother sat down next to my and the driver closed the door and got in the drivers seat, blocking my view out the sliding window in front of me. The automobile started with a lot of noise and we were on the dusty road toward the city of Queenstown, Ireland. With the excitement of going toward the vast open Atlantic Ocean, I had forgotten the corset, which now was having a large affect on my breathing.
Soon the automobile was close enough to the Ocean to smell the clean salty air. That wonderful smell was soon covered by the smells of the city. Everywhere there was noise, dust, and automobile exhaust. People were yelling and shouting. Then I saw the famous ship, the RMS Titanic, all the din of the city was covered by the grandness of Titanic. It really was amazing. I was surprised to think that it would soon be in the icy Atlantic. The automobile had now stopped and the driver opened the door and my brother was greeted by, “Your destination, Mr. Scully.” The driver said proudly, for making good time. My brother held out his hand to help my out of the car. The entire time all I thought about was the fact that Titanic would sink, and I would be on it. A man came up and asked for my brother to go check in the luggage. My brother responded my saying, “If you would be so kind as to do that for me it would be wonderful,” then he slipped a ten dollar bill into the man’s gloved hand.

I speak through poetry...
words are my essence...
letters are my soul.
I speak through poetry.
Similes and metaphors
I whisper them too
words upon words
poetry is what I do
I speak through poetry.
My breath is a sonnet
my blink is a rhyme
pen to paper
time after time.
I speak through poetry.
My heart is my subject
the world is my theme
just give me a minute
and I’ll write you something.
Because I speak through poetry
thats what I do.
I’ll show you the world
my poetry is for you.
Bye Julie!!

For english, I have to write a research paper. I chose Frankenstein, don't ask why. Anyways, I have no clue as to what topic to write about. I'm so confused about this whole thing, I don't really understand what kind of topics I'm supposed to be thinking about. This makes no sense to me. What would be a good topic with lots of information available? I'm so confused

My best friend wrote this it is the first chapter in a book and I think it is pretty good but I want some more opinions and so does she could u tell me what u think and pls no wisecracks

Once long ago I was put under the curse, the curse that would change my life for ever. I was cursed to become a Phantom of the Night or as you mortals call us a Vampire. But let me introduce myself properly my name is Lorenza Galease Farvaka. I was born in Italy in 1598. I have shoulder length blonde hair and crystal blue eyes I'm 5'3'' and well lets say unique. But lets get on with my story shall we. I’ll turn it over to the narrator and author Zhana..

Okay let’s start. Lorenza looked off her balcony waiting for the guys to return from there nightly hunt.(if you have not realized she lives in a house full of other vampires mostly male ones.)Just then someone tapped her on the shoulder it was Lark he was tall with blue black hair and a face that looked like an angle had touched it his smile was some what crooked with his pointed teeth showing. he was dressed in all black. then he said good evening Lorenza you look lovely tonight she answered as do you. what have you been doing since we left? nothing much mostly staring up at the sky dreaming, dreaming of what life could of been like. if only we were not all cursed well yes but Loren you have to realize it is a blessing in its own after all those silly mortals can not live forever but that’s the thing I wish to know want is beyond our life I wish to know how to love, how to live, but mostly to sleep once again. I have not slept since 1614. "I know how you feel but you no if Calabar hears you he will give you another boring speech on our powers."so you think I'm boring a!" Calabar was tall and just as gorgeous as Lark but with a pointed nose and Reddish Black hair. He thought him self to be smart. But Calabar still thought that in his life he had learned the most but no one really paid attention to him. "The only reason I came up here was to tell you two that we have a new be." he seemed to say with glee. Lorenza thought to here self the poor guy, they walked down the wooden stair case a crowd of the other vampires all ready in front of the new guy. He was around 5'4'' blonde hair and blackened eyes. looking at him made her feel sad that his life had to come to this but when she was about to turn to go up the stairs he smiled at her it was the prettiest smile she had ever seen.
