Main Event-AJ Styles nice matches I like your story lines.......the 5 man King of the Mountain would be great. What title fits this story better?Full question:Josephine "Josie" Westbrook has been fired by numerous employers, and as Christmas quickly approaches, she is hired by another man known as Nathaniel Burke. She goes to work for him, her head filled with thoughts of how bitter he is. She finds out Nathaniel is a bitter man, but is not surprised when she finds out the cause of his bitterness: He is a single man living alone with his mother, who is mentally and physically disabled; he's ashamed of her and tries to hide her from everyone except his sisters and brother. She helps him take care of his mother, despite how poorly he treats her. But because of the way she helps him, he begins to treat her with more respect and kindness. She sees major changes in his attitude and character, and it never ceases to amaze her. As he warms up to her, she begins to feel something for him; she thinks he may have feelings for her too. One day, he takes her a good three hours away from his home and she feels scared, thinking he's going to kidnap and/or kill her. He lets her pick out his first Christmas tree in 20 years, and he brings her to watch the sunset on top of a mountain. On Christmas Eve, they decorate the tree, watch movies, and tell stories together; they bake cakes and cookies, then eat them together. In Josie's mind, it's the perfect recipe for romance. Christmas Day comes, and she wakes up to find a ton of presents under the tree; there are some from her friends and family, but the majority is from Nathaniel. One of the presents from him is a small box. *Which title should I use: "A Christmas Wish for Nathaniel Burke" or "A Christmas Wish"? Feel free to come up with your own titles. Best answer:I think the title should be "A Christmas GIFT for Nathaniel Burke". After all, "Josie" gave him the gift of happiness, no?

DMV inspectors arrested Claudia Morales Rodriguez, 29, and Alfredo Lopez Hernandez, 29, both of Gastonia, and Juan Alberto Goddy Vasquez, 37, of Kings Mountain on charges of attempting to bribe a state driver license examiner to obtain a driver’s license. All three are believed to be in the country illegally, according to the DMV. They were placed in Gaston County Jail under $10,000 bonds Monday. Their release remains on hold by Immigration and Customs Enforcement pending a review of their immigration status, according to Gaston County Sheriff's Office. The arrests stem from an investigation of a document lab that had equipment and materials to manufacture counterfeit resident alien cards, Social Security cards, birth certificates and driver licenses from six states, according to a release from the Department of Motor Vehicles. DMV inspectors arrested Mario Ziranda, 35, and Elvis Sanchez, 28, at their residence at 272 Roberson Lane, Forest City. They face charges of common law forgery, manufacturing North Carolina driver licenses, felony trafficking of identification documents, possession and delivery of cocaine and misuse of vital records. Searching the Forest City residence revealed ledgers showing hundreds of fake document sales weekly, according to the release. Driver licenses from California, Florida, Tennessee, Texas, Ohio and North Carolina were found at the location, along with Social Security cards and a Maryland birth certificate. Investigators also seized $8,000 in cash and 15 grams of cocaine. Sanchez has no legal United States documentation, according to the release. Both are being held on $75,000 secured bond in Rutherford County Jail. DMV spokeswoman Marge Howell said she didn’t know how the three suspects in Gaston County were connected to the Rutherford County suspects, but all were part of the same investigation. “We have had a lot of these things happen, pop up all over the state,” Howell said. The License and Theft Bureau performs more than 3,600 fraud investigations annually, Howell said. “A lot of them are fraudulent document cases,” Howell said. License and theft inspectors from Gaston, Burke, Lincoln, Catawba and Cleveland counties conducted the investigations and made the arrests, according to the release. Law enforcement officials from the Gastonia Police Department, Forest City Police Department and the Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office assisted with the arrests. Gastonia Police Sgt. Jimmy West said none of the trio arrested in Gaston County spoke English. One had been here 15 years, another had been here for nine years and the third had been here for six years, he said. “We’ve always had issues with fake driver’s licenses, fake ID cards,” West said. This isn’t the first investigation like this in the county and it won’t be the last, West said. In July, two Hispanic men offered $400 each to a local DMV license examiner to get N.C. driver’s licenses while a third tried to use the identity of someone else to obtain one for him. They, too, were believed to be in the country illegally. “When they come out here they’re looking for a better life. You can’t fault them for that,” West said. “But they don’t do it the right way.” http://www.gastongazette.com/news/bribes-37934-offering-office.html Best answer:You can fault them for that, they are doing it illegally. They should be prosecuted and deported with a life time ban. When is our government going to realize these people know exactly the crimes they are committing and deport them all back where they belong.

What are your honest opinions of this idea?Full question:Charlene "Charlie" Westbrook has been fired by numerous employers, and as Christmas quickly approaches, she is hired by another man known as Nathaniel Burke. She goes to work for him, her head filled with thoughts of how bitter he is. She finds out Nathaniel is a bitter man, but is not surprised when she finds out the cause of his bitterness: He is a single man living alone with his mother, who is mentally and physically disabled.

Christmas Day comes, and she wakes up to find a ton of presents under the tree; there are some from her friends and family, but the majority is from Nathaniel. One of the presents from him is a small box. Best answer:That sounds like a perfect idea for a romance. Not too corny like most that I see these days. If you are going to post it to fictionpress or some other website, then give me a link. Is this story too mature for 6th grade?Full question:I'm writing a story for my 6th grade English class and I need to know if what I have written so far is too mature for the 6th grade. Here's what I have so far: Nikki Oliver exited the lunch line carrying a salad and a blue Gatorade. She expertly maneuvered the craziness of the lunchroom to where the elite group of popular kids, her friends, sat at the far end of the cafeteria. Mikaela Anderson, the most popular girl in the entire high school, the one who had discovered Nikki, the one who had made her someone, scooted over and made a spot for her to sit. Nikki sat down next to her boyfriend Marshall, who leaned over, kissed her on the cheek, and took a sip of her Gatorade. Suddenly, a deafening blast sounded and the glass window behind Mikaela shattered. For a brief moment, before everybody went nuts, the lunchroom was still and silent. Nikki made eye contact with Eric Wilson, a smart, good-looking, popular, football star, standing outside the window in the rain, holding a raised gun. The look in Eric’s eyes frightened Nikki, it was a look of an angry, yet scared boy. Eric tore his gaze away from Nikki's and shot again. Elliott Chase, a senior detective in the small town of River Falls, Wisconsin, sat at his desk working on the mountain of paperwork that his boss was counting on him to finish by the weekend. Just as he was about to start on another file, he heard his phone ring. He glanced at the caller ID and saw that his partner, Jessica Reed, was calling. He opened it and greeted her, “Hey Jess, what’s up?” “El, get down to River Falls High now! There’s been a shooting.” Jess hurriedly told him. Click. And she hung up. Elliott grabbed his gun and badge and ran out of the squad room. It was Alexandra Cole’s first day off in what seemed like forever. She finally had a chance to unwind and was doing just that when her cell phone rang. Alex grabbed it and saw that her boss William Burke was calling. “Hi Will. Now I’m sure whatever you’re calling about is very important, but it’s my day off so- “Alex, get down to River Falls High School. There was a shooting and I need you to find out what’s going on.” Will cut her off. “OK, I’m on my way.” She huffed and hung up. Alex hurried out into the now pouring rain and started on her way to the high school. When Alex got there, she found a mob of worried parents and sobbing, frightened students and about 5 ambulances aiding injured kids. Alex pushed through the crowd to the front where there was already crime tape posted in front of the school and police men blocking Alex from entering the school. She flashed her ID in front of one of them and he moved out of her way. Inside the school, there were paramedics and detectives everywhere, loading kids onto stretchers and taking pictures of evidence. A man came up to Alex and asked, “Excuse me ma’am, can I help you?” “Yes, I’m Assistant District Attorney Alexandra Cole. Can you tell me anything about went on here?” “Nice to meet you Miss Cole, I’m Detective Elliott Chase. As you probably know, there was a shooting today. We have the shooter in custody and we believe that he is the only one. He shot 14 people and there are 3 confirmed deaths.” Elliott told Alexandra. “Ok,” Alex said, while jotting some notes down in her small black notepad, “Do you have the shooter’s name?” “Eric Wilson.” “Ok, well thanks for your help, do you mind if I survey the crime scene?” Alex questioned. “No that’s fine,” Elliott replied. As she turned to go, though, he stopped her, “Wait, should I talk to him, Eric Wilson I mean? Just to see what he has to say before he has a chance to get a lawyer?” “If you get the chance, yes. Just don’t do anything to get us in trouble.” Alex warned. That's all I have so far. Do you think this is too mature for a 6th grade story? Best answer:Haha. I am loving this. Have you ever seen Law & Order: Special Victims Unit? 'Cause I almost had a heart attack at the use of the name Elliot and ADA Alexandra and then a last name that starts with a 'C.' This is extremely good. I am sure your teacher will love it. You might want to ask him/her just to be sure, though. N.WA.

(it's an exerpt from a piece of a novel)?Full question:A teenage girl by the name of Lanie Holden and a boy by the name of Reed Burke embraced tightly in each other's arms in long and amorous kiss on the crest of one of the foothills of Santa Ana mountains under the beaming sun which in another hour will heat the day to 80 degrees F. With both of their eyes gently shut, each bump and press of their groins, and caresses of the hands mutually imparted pulsating points of pleasure across their bodies that faded softly while to reignite elsewhere. The purity of their graceful affection for one another dwarfed even unsullied, immaculate aquamarien waters of Lake Matthews, an artificial reservoir sprawed out prostrate at their right, stretching out for over three miles and starting three hundred feet downslope of where they stood. After making out for another ecstatic minute -- Reed’s chest cushioned against Lanie's firm breasts while Lanie tested the strength of his erection by steadily increasing the weight against its protruding tip with the pressure applied by her groin -- they affably release each other, reeling and euphoric by the joy of their make out session and leaned back side by side in relaxation against the flank of Reed’s white 2002 Chevy Impala, facing the humbling beauty of the lake. Lanie Holden was fifteen, 5' 6" in height with an oval face and tousled lavender hair cut short to the base of her neck with long bangs over the forehead which obscured her often-sad brown eyes on either side of her upturned nose. Lanie purposely styled her hair to look tousled and unkempt because Reed had told her it was cute. Her soft, smooth skin is the color of pale bisque. People often tell Lanie she is too thin for age. Currently she was dressed in sleeveless gray zip-up hoodie with hand-warming pockets over a black tank top with tight-fitting jeans flared at the ankles and white fashion athletic shoes. Lanie preferres dark-colored tops of blacks and grays, as way of reflecting her tendency for angst and mild depression, mental states generated by a particular mix of hormones all too common to some teenagers. One would not be amiss if they used the term “emo” to a summize a description of her in the best, single word even if they judged by physical appearance alone without any prior personal interaction. Reed was a year older than Lanie, an inch taller, with handsome, narrow face and skin naturally a shade tanner than Lanie's, with blue eyes and flax hair that, in a style not dissimilar to Lanie’s fall in a fringe over his eyebrows. He was dressed in olive cargo pants, white sneakers and an unbuttoned black short-sleeve shirt over a long-sleeve white t-shirt bearing the clothing company's logo. Both are unaware of their own respective, extraordinary capabilities for they have not yet unlocked them, or yet, had not had their abilities unlocked for them. And no, their hidden capabilities are not as their high school teachers would claim with great conviction: a capability to knock their respective GPAs above a 2.25 average. Their teachers would be just flat-out and pitifully incorrect. For a minute, hearing no sounds other than the hushed noise caused by the friction of a docile breeze against green grass of the hills and a lonesome, seeking cry of the hawk in search of ground prey, Reed and Lanie spaced out, reeling from the heat of their make-out session, and absorbed in the peaceful beauty of the lake and the barren surroundings rising above the flatlands and their urban smog-veiled sprawl. From the hills, miles away, cars and buildings appeared the size of matchboxes. Lanie brushed several locks of hair from her eyes which had been bent there by the breeze. "Too bad we're not allowed to swim in it," Lanie made remarked with a dreamy face in reference to Lake Matthews. "Why don't we do it anyway," Reed suggested with bravado, and then continued in a mock seductive, conspiratorial tone. "Jump the fence, take all our clothes off..." "No way," Lanie interrupted. "I don't wanna go to jail if we get caught. Besides, how are we gonna jump the fence without tearing ourselves up on barbed wire." Best answer:Yes! I think at some points you add unnecessary details, and use words to long for somene to stayintrestee but otherwise perfect! Powered by Yahoo!
