"Are you Landon and Joey?" The man asked.
"Y-Yes" I said, shaking.
"You are trespassing. You must be held prisoner." The man stated.
Joey and I instantly had one thing on our minds.
We ran through the maze of bricks and fire. When we were sure that we lost them, we stopped to take a breath. We continued to run, and when we made a turn, there was a girl standing there. She was young, probably around 18, she had worn jeans, dusted clothes, and a scared look on her face.
"C'mon!" She exclaimed.
We followed her until we were in a long hallway.
"Oh no." She immediately went for here pocket.
Then I saw one of the men.
"You each take one of these."
She handed Joey and I each a pocket knife.
"This is small" I said.
"It's better than nothing." She replied.

The Art and Aspirations of a Commenter
I believe in the power of a free exchange of ideas. I also recognize that words or access to
some information can be of harm to others, intentionally or unintentionally. As a
commenter, I therefore aspire to participate responsibly in the great online conversation
by:
* treating all bloggers with respect.
* seeking first to understand what is being said.
* celebrating another's accomplishments.
* using school appropriate language.
* rephrasing ideas in the blog that made me think, made me feel, or helped me learn
to let the blogger know his/her voice has been heard.
* commenting specifically and positively, without criticism. If I disagree, I will
comment appropriately, politely stating my perspective.
* being mindful always that I may be a role model to my audience, especially if they
are younger than I.
* making no reference to, link to, and/or giving access to any information that may
be inappropriate for a school setting.
* asking at least one question in my comment with the hopes of continuing a
conversation and deepening thinking.
* using a triple check before submitting any comment: Would I be happy to have my
mother read this comment? My grandmother? My favorite teacher?
