Abusive Relationships
What is an abusive relationship like? Many poeple do not recognize when they are in one. Your friends will though. If you think that your friend is being abused, it is good to know by looking for signs. These signs are or can be bruises, cuts, frequent days missed, acting skidish, withdrawn from others, sad all the time, depressed to name a few. If a friend is doing or showing these signs, it is important to get them help. These signs could be the result of physical abuse. Still, there are many forms of abuse. Mental and Emotional abuse! Both of these types really happen a lot. Guys or girls can do it. Most of the time they will just put you down to build themselves up. Supprisingly, it actually works with a lot of people. When you are a victim in an abusive relationship, it may be extremely hard to pull yourself out of it. Most people can not do it. Most people will struggle or get so depressed by it, that they take their own life or completely pull away from every loved one. They feel they can not do anything about it. It's very sad. I myself, have been in an abusive relationship. Not a physical one, but a mental and emotional one. It was bad, he controlled everything about me. He had my mind on complete lock down. I am so glad the relationship ended, however the pain and confusion has been left behind. I find myself finding it hard to trust people, friends, family, guys....it is really hard to bounce out of something like that. The next time that you see someone that needs help getting out of an abusive relationship, physical or mental, please help them.

abuse scenario
What is abuse? Why do people abuse others? Those are some very good questions. So really, what is abuse??? Well abuse is when some one is mistreating you, but not just mistreating you. Abuse can come in many forms.
One form of abuse is physical abuse. This is where some one is hitting you so hard to where it is leaving bruses. Other ways to physically abuse some one is to burn them. This mostley happens to children under the age of twelve and women who are married to controling men. When you are getting physically abused, it is good to tell some one that can help. Although you may be scared, it is still good to get help.
Another form of abuse is mental abuse. This one is very common rightnow. The way you mentally abuse a person is you play mind games with them. You tease them in cruel and twisted ways. Its horrible!!!!! Thats what i think about abuse.

Exposition:
Its springtime, early morning, on the farm of Mr. John Arable. Newborn pigs have arrived. Fern awakes for breakfast in awe to find her pa has gone outside with an ax. Fern quickly finds out and makes a mad dash out to her pa to beg him not to kill it. She felt as though it was a terrible case of injustice to kill something because it was small. Mr. Arable decides to let Fern raise this runt and get a taste of what raising an animal is all about. And so our story begins with this small runt pig that Fern named Wilbur. Fern loves Wilbur and treats him just like a newborn baby.Rising Action:
After Wilbur has outgrown his place at Mr. Arable’s place, he has been moved to Mr. Zuckerman’s farm…where he becomes sad. Fern visits all the time to watch Wilbur. Wilbur becomes friends with many farm animals. One in particular is Charlotte, a large spider. Charlotte encourages Wilbur to perk up and be proud and she builds him up with complimentary words in her web. These words and the actions of Wilbur, bring attention and crowds of people to the farm. It also brings happiness to Wilbur
Climax:
The big fair, Wilbur and the other pigs and some farm animals are moved to the county fair for viewing. Wilbur has been brought to reality that his fate is to be sold and slaughtered.
Falling Action:
Charlotte, who Wilbur loves and adores, is getting older and her time is near. Charlotte breaks the news to Wilbur, who just does not understand why. Wilbur cries and is extremely upset about the reality that his beloved Charlotte will soon die.
Resolution:
Charlotte did not tell Wilbur everything. Wilbur sobbed and sobbed, but Charlotte had laid her bed, and Templeton wanted to eat it, but that was not going to happen. Charlotte had these wonderful things left behind….her babies. Wilbur was so excited to still have something of Charlotte and was pleased when some decided to stay with him.

The Best Thing I Did This Summer
The best thing i did this summer was go to the Dominican Republic. The food was horrible, but other than that it was fun. We went horse back ridding, and it scared my cousin Erica so bad! It was hilaroius! There was also this old man that kept saying that me and Erica were his two beautiful grandaughters. Another exciting thing we did was go innertubbing in the ocean. It was so much fun! The man driving the boat got a kick out of watching us fly off. We had cookouts almost every night, but i never really finished my plate. Me and Erica decided to rent golf carts, so we were ridding around on them. We almost ran over these three people, and all we did was swerv and laugh. When it came time to leave, we were so ready to go! The heat was about to kill us! In the airport, there were two hot guys checking me and Erica out. It was awesome! I cant wait to go on another trip like that!
