Please help with story idea! (I will give brainliest, I just want ideas) I have a story idea where a group of maybe 8 year olds or so sneaks out one night to find some sort of artifact> I'm trying to figure out what that should do. Why do they want it? The story is going to start in a small town where everyone knows eachother, and this one group of kids try to go find this thing - I'm thinking the story will be somewhat like the Monkey's paw, with the three wishes, but I don't know. Does anyone have any ideas? This is supposed to be a horror story for class, but it doesnt have to be too scary, and it has to answer the question What are humans most afraid of?

Read this excerpt from "the light of gandhi's lamp" by hilary kromberg inglis, in which she describes driving to the police station where her sister is being detained. to avoid looking at the blackened windows at the top of the building and thinking about the history of who had died or been tortured there, i always looked instead at the little chinese restaurant on the opposite side of the road. how does this passage affect the text? it conveys, with great subtlety, the conflict she felt over having a sister who would break the law and end up in the custody of the police. it conveys, without any implied moral judgment, that those who fought against apartheid considered themselves to be soldiers in a just war. it conveys, with an extended metaphor, the idea that being detained by the police in this society was regarded as a badge of honor. it conveys, with direct language, the view held by many anti-apartheid activists that the police often acted in brutal and unlawful ways.
