Flash fiction story




     Jake was on his back before he knew it when the flash of purple hit him. He immediately knew his reaction had worked. He felt the electricity buzzing around him and his lab caught flames and he just left as all of his assistants burned and tried to call for help trapped under all of the equipment. He ran out into the street and as he thrust his hand the Tacoma exploded in front of him. The SHDA ( Super Human Defense Agency) was there in minutes just as he had counted on when he ran over the plan in his head. As their cars rolled up, a huge fight erupted that endangered the lives of many civilians.
But just as abruptly as Jake had gotten powers, he was shot down to the street with a thud. Everyone just drove away and continued on like every normal day.

  1. I liked the story, but it would be nice to have some information on his powers. Great job otherwise.

  2. This is a very interesting story. Try to explain his powers a little more and why he wanted them.

  3. This sounds like a very interesting idea for a short story. I would try to give a little more background to help the reader know what is going on.

  4. I really do like the story. The Science Fiction spin was very well planned out. I also enjoy that you had an abrupt ending like Harrison Bergeron.

One of my favorite speakers during launch day was Erin. I thought the way that she presented was very engaging and interactive. It was a new twist that I found to be very cool and innovative. I liked the way that she did not try to force us to believe in her opinion but instead presented the facts and the arguments for both and left it up to us to form our own educated opinion. I thought the arguments sounded well made for both and I had already had my own opinion on the issue and the debate was still very entertaining. I also enjoyed Graham Frazier's presentation on the affect a powerful opinion can have on marketing and more specifically the Stockmarket. He explained what exactly the stock market was as it can be a point of confusion for many people. Then he gave us examples of how the stock market has changed based on the opinion of popular businessmen or other important people. I overall thought launch day was very interesting.

March Madness

March Madness is my favorite part of the basketball season and is probably my favorite way that any sports season is ended. March Madness is the NCAA tournament that has 64 teams and 6 different rounds. This tournament is always very fun to watch and it is fun to pick the brackets for who you think is going to win. This is something I have been doing every year for a while. I am usually pretty good at this but this has been my worst year in a while. This years tournament has had more upsets than I have ever seen. The most shocking of which made history when the 16 seeded UMBC beat Virginia the overall 1 seed.  This also happened to be who I had picked to win the tournament and my bracket was already done for before the second round. Then there is also Loyola Chicago who has made it into the final 4 tied for the highest seed to make it there. This was overall no ones year for picking a bracket.

Purple Hibiscus

Purple Hibiscus involves a Nigerian family that is very religious and very different from the rest of the Nigerian families we have been introduced to. They are very different because there is an abusive dad and husband. We have seen that the dad gets very angry when somebody does not agree with him. We do not really know why he is like this and we don't have many clues yet either. This is something that will cause the conflict as the book goes on. I believe the dad abuses his family like this because he feels it is his duty to make his family very Christian. We can see that a he is very scared of his family members being exposed to anything that doesn't involve Christianity.  When he feels they are not being good Christians he wants to take matters in to his own hands. He does not view him beating his family as negative because he feels as if he is truly helping them become better Christians. Papa in Purple Hibiscus wants his family to be good Christians so bad that he doesn...
