1. Ambrose Bierce - The other bank of the stream was open ground -- a gentle slope topped with a stockade of vertical tree trunks, loopholed for rifles, with a single embrasure through which protruded the muzzle of a brass cannon commanding the bridge.

2. Mark Twain - The feller took the money and started away; and when he was going out at the door, he sorter jer-ked his thumb over his shoulder--so--at Dan'l, andsays again, very deliberate, 'Well,' he says, 'I don't see no p'ints about that frog that's any better'n any other frog`

3. Charles Waddell Chesnutt - ‘Scuse me, suh, I’s lookin’ for my husban’. I heerd you wuz a big man an’ had libbed heah a long time, an’ I ‘lowed you wouldn’t min’ ef I’d come roun’ an’ ax you ef you’d eber heerd of a merlatter man by de name er Sam Taylor ‘quirin’ roun’ in de chu’ches ermongs’ de people fer his wife ‘Liza Jane?”

4. Cedric Yamanaka - One day, when I was one kid, I was climbing some rocks looking outat da ocean. Down Malaekahana side. All of a sudden, my bruddah start screaming, 'Get down from deah. No good. Da rocks sacred.`

5. Emily Dickinson -

Soul, wilt thou toss again?  

By just such a hazard  

Hundreds have lost, indeed,  

But tens have won an all.  

Angels' breathless ballot  

Lingers to record thee;  

Imps in eager caucus  

Raffle for my soul.  

6. Sarah Orne Jewett - Sylvy takes after him,' the grandmother continued affectionately,after a minute's pause. 'There ain't a foot o' ground she don't know her way over, and the wild creaturs counts her one o' themselves. Squer'ls she'll tame to come an' feed right out o' her hands, and all sorts o' birds. Last winter she got the jaybirds to bangeing here, and I believe she'd 'a' scanted herself of herown meals to have plenty to throw out amongst 'em, if I had n't kep' watch.'"

(i'm bad at sudden poems so don't yell at me i'm trying to represent sadness or something like that but its real hard)

at the age of 4, she thought everything was better.

she was innocent, she was joyful, despite the predictions about the bad weather.

at the age of 10, she started to figure things out.

in life, in its meaning, she started to doubt.

at the age of 14, she was filled with depression, anxiety and fear,

that nobody cared about her, and death was drawing near.

at the age of 17, her sleeves got longer, her will got shorter, until she couldn't take it anymore.

she left this earth with a rope, chair and to the heavens she would soar.
