Part A
CHILDREN OF SPARTA
"Fight to survive and help each other out, we will be back in two months and we shall see if you are strong enough to be Spartans".
And with those words, the commander left us . . . .in the wild with no food, no shelter, and nothing to arm ourselves with. Twenty kids left in the wild with two months to spare. We had an idea of what we had to survive. It was us against what ever lurked in that dark forest. We started off simple, building a fire, creating spears from wood. It was easy we thought . . . .but all that changed slowly.The kids were all choosing sides to who must be the leader. I knew I was the strongest and biggest of all. But frankly I did not care about that. Spartans are a team that should work together . I tried telling the others that but they did not listen. A kid named Legoles was commanded leader of us and it was not pretty. He kicked and beat up on us and we could do nothing. He was pure evil.
"Any one who does not obey my rules for the next month and a half will be kicked out and left to fend for himself in the wild". That's how things were. He had at least ten kids were on his side that would do anything he asked. This was not right. Even though I was eleven i knew it had to be me to take a stand and show true power of courage. My deepest fear was that if I beat him, I would end up like him.
And so I stood up for the freedom of others and challenged him to a battle. He of course excepted.
I had out doubted him and in no time he was on me smacking away in my face. Hope for others was failing. I thought of something my mother had told me before i was taken away. She said that true power comes from within someone. And so I told my inner strength to carry on and I stood up and face Legoles. he was surprised and he was tired from kicking my ass, and now it was my turn.
Part B
The purpose of this peace that I made is that you should never give up or loose hope because others may be counting on you. People face this easy situations like this one mostly every day. The situation might not be like this but maybe as simple as helping a friend on something or what not. Also. I think this piece shows that if you are fighting for good from evil then you should not become the evil that you have beat. For example, when a kid stands up to bullies and beats the bullies, he himself turns into one. My theme is about power and power has both a good and bad side and i thought I would write about a story where a main character gets to choose the side of power for evil or for other goods.
Here are some example of choices that other authors and movie directors chose of power
