Write a story about a scary or frightening moment in your life. What happened? How was it scary? Are you still frightened? Fear is a strong emotion and it motivates people to keep reading and find out what followed. Some examples of frightening moments are being trapped in a cave, lost in the woods or inside an old house with strange noises, or a traumatic event. A frightening experience could also be any personal event where you don't feel safe and were afraid something terrible was going to happen.

About five years ago. It was a quiet morning and I was alone, walking, going up a slope, about two minutes from my house.

Suddenly I hear a noise, and when I look up, I see a runaway car coming towards me. I thought: if I stay here, I will be run over, if I run to the street, he can change the path and run over me in the same way.

On my left side, there was a house with iron bars at the gate. I grabbed the bars and managed to climb the gate and fall into the house. It all took seconds. I only saw the car stopping at a pole, exactly where I was seconds ago.

Then I saw that the car was driverless and had a little girl of about three years old. The driver, mother of the little girl, fumbled when parking, and the car went down the hill without a driver. She tried but was unable to get the baby out of the car. The child had minor injuries and I didn't even get a scratch. I was born again.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
