The Big Day Notes & Interviews

The man in the Volkswagon is trying to make it to the wedding of the woman he loves, even though she's preparing to marry another man. As the bride is getting ready, she keeps looking out the window, looking for the man she truly loves, rather than who she's marrying.

Interviews

Bride (Anna)-
  1. What were you feeling as you got ready for your wedding? Why?
  2. How long did you know the groom before he proposed?
  3. Were your surprised when James ran into your wedding? If so, why? 
  1. I felt relatively relaxed and happy until the time for me to actually get married neared. I begin to feel nervous, my palms sweating and heart pounding. Marrying my husband is a big commitment, and though this thought once brought me joy, it now made me feel somewhat regretful.
  2. I had known him for 6 months before we got engaged.
  3. I was very surprised when James showed up, but I always knew it was a possibility. I feared the complication of his appearance greatly, and didn't want to be put in this position. 
Man in Car (James)-
  1. What is your name, and how do you know the bride?
  2. How were you feeling as you rushed to try and make it to the wedding?
  3. Why were you so eager to get to the wedding, and what what your intentions?
  1. My name is James Blacker. I'd been very close with the bride for several years prior to the wedding.
  2. I was anxious, rushed, panicky, and impatient. It felt as if time were in slow motion and it was a battle of will whether I'd make it on time.
  3. I planned to tell Anna how  really feel about her. I figured I should at least give it a shot before I lost her forever.
Groom (Daniel)-
  1. Do you know the man who interrupted your wedding? If so from where?
  2. How long have you been in a relationship with the woman you were preparing to marry? Would you say you've always had a happy relationship with Anna?
  1. I do not know him too well personally, but I know he dated Anna for a long time. She had been very secretive about her relationship with him, which makes me wonder if she nver really lost feelings for him.
  2. I've been with her for about a year now. I think we've had a very healthy, happy relationship, but we have had some rough patches. She is my best friend and the love of my life.

The Dispatch Issue #5

News- The Lockdown The story is about the Akins lockdown that took place on February 22, which was the result of a former student boarding a bus heading towards the school with ammunition. Senior Bee Barto and teacher Sarah Simmons were interviewed to share theyr experiences. Sarah Simmons and Bee Barto were quoted. I thought the strongest quotes was, "But I wanted to make sure it was a drill and I did see a SWAT team in the hall. It was at that point that I knew it was not a drill." The lead sentence did make me want to keep reading because I had heard about the event and wanted to learn more. The conclusion was a quote. Commentary- Arming teachers is not the solution  The story is about Donald Trump's suggestion that teachers should be amed with guns in response to the recent shootings that have occurred. The author completely disagrees and believes it will only add to the issue by burdening teachers with too much responsibility, adding more dangerous aspe

Free Write - Embarrassment

Settled in after a long day, I finally got the chance to lay down and relax. I shut out the sound of the TV downstairs as my eyes began to slowly close, my exhaustion taking over. My mind takes me back to third grade. Mrs. Grance’s class was generally a good class, but there were definitely some bad days consisting of the kids not getting along or the teacher being way too intense for third graders to handle. In second grade, one of my closer friends was named Atticus, who now is a freshman at Bowie too. Being young, we were still very childish, so messing with each other was an every day occurrence. Sometimes we took our play a little too far, but I never minded, it was all fun and games. One day, we were completing an assignment that required teacher approval along the way, which meant that people were walking to and from their seats to our teacher a lot. For some reason, Atticus was laying down and working on the “class carpet” at the front of the room, so when I would go up to
