If I had to be in a cell that small, I would go crazy because I would think about my family and friends and how I can't see them. I would miss being able to laugh at my family and at my friends' jokes. Instead, I would probably cry because I don't like being lonely and locked up in small spaces. I know I would try to break out of the cell, and I know it would be very hard to do so, but I would try my best.

If I were stuck in a cell like Charles Darney, I am pretty sure that I would drive myself insane. The separation from the rest of the world, not being able to feel the slight breeze on hot summer days, or the rays of light on bitterly cold winter mornings, would cause me to feel secluded, with nobody who could help me out of my misery. The feeling of isolation would then flourish inside me, having no place to escape, making me feel as if I didn't even exist in this world. I believe that Charles Darney is pacing back and forth only to keep his reality out of his mind, and to be honest, if I were in his shoes, I'd be doing the same action.

Claustrophobia. The fear of being enclosed, in narrow spaces, trapped. As Charles Darnay paces his cell I think why is he pacing? Is he pacing to keep the idleness from eating alive. Or is it because he is claustrophobic and pacing is his way of keeping his anxiety down. I myself have no fear of tight spaces, but when I was younger I had an opportunity to go into a cave. However I was scared. Scared that the gigantic rocks above me would fall on me. Now when I look back on the experience, I wish I had been brave enough to go into these caves. This could be how Charles Darnay was. Instead of waiting to go to France he was brave enough to go and face what he knew might happen. Facing our fears is wonderful thing because of the courage you gain. However sometimes you face consequences for the choices you make, and Charles Darnay is facing those consequences now.

"Five paces by four and a half" is too little room for most people. My dear cousin Christine, or Claustrophobic Christine, is claustrophobic so I for one would know that a mere five paces is no where near enough room. Even if this was a huge cell she couldn't be there being alone in solitary confinement is enough to drive anyone up a wall, which is probably only five paces high.

I hate small spaces- places where there is almost no place to step, places where there is no room to stand, and places where there is nowhere to look out upon the world from. If I had to spend time in a prison cell like Charles Darnays, I think that I would go completely mad. I hate being cooped up having no one to talk to, nothing to do,  nothing new to see. This sort of confinement is worse than death in my mind, for you are still alive but have no purpose. I hope that I am never confined like Charles Darnay.

There are numerous occasions that I feel weariness, getting up in the morning, going to school, and paying attention to the teacher in the class. However, I have never felt such weariness after working out for approximately an hour on that Tuesday. I can recollect myself sweating a lot and feeling sick, dizzy, and unsteady. When I got up from the mat, my arms and legs were shaking; I was about to fall down. I lied down on the floor with my arms and legs spread out. I stayed there for about twenty minutes before it started to feel a little energized.

After my surgeries, I always used to feel "worn out" because of the tremendous impact the procedures had on my body. This feeling made me upset because even though I may have felt like I could accomplish anything, I would be let down by the fact that I wasn't able to do simple tasks that were part of my daily routine only weeks ago. However, once I started to recover from my weariness, I could do more around the house, making me feel even better knowing that I was getting farther and farther away from the state of feeling "all worn out."

There are always times when I feel worn out, for me school is one of the most exhausting things in the world. You have to wake up early, rush to catch the bus, and then you have to sit in a class room for seven hours taking notes, learning confusing new mathematical equations, and reading a serious and challenging book. After all of this you get to play an hour and a half of sports and to end the days you have hour after hour of homework. So to sum up school there are early mornings, late nights, and lots of hard work in between.

Have you ever been so worn out you just can't take it any more. I get this feeling all of the time when I am playing lacrosse. It must have something to do with the angry opponents that are trying to hit you with a hollowed out piece of metal as hard as they can to steel the ball from you. As scary as that may seem, you always have your teammates who are right behind running their hearts out to protect you. This quick and repetitive process that frequently occurs in lacrosse is one that always wears me out.

Cassie

The funny thing about being all worn out is that it happens to me more often than not. For example, just this morning I was all worn out because practice at skating had been very difficult. Yet because I made myself push through the practice, I am very satisfied with myself for finishing well.

Do you ever feel as though a wave of sleepiness has ever washed over you. Or if you are doing an activity or sport where your muscles are all worn out and you feel as though you can't go on. I sometimes feel like this when I am skiing in a race. People do not know this, but ski racing can be a tiring sport. You are being forced into turns that are not your own. You have to go around every gate and you are making more turns than you would on your own terms. As you go down you have to flex forward with all your weight and strength so your skis can bite into the hard ice. Put all these factors together you can be just plain worn out not wanting to move another muscle.

Sometimes it feels like everything in life hits us all at once.  That happened to me in November this year.  Ever since school had started, I had been staying up late to finish my homework and because of this lack of energy it made it hard to participate in extracurricular activities.  One night at hockey, I had no water and we did a lot vigorous skating at practice, but I was also coming down with bronchitis at the same time.  I kept trying to skate faster but I but couldn't.  I was dazed the whole car ride home and still don't remember most of it.

Schyler. A Time I felt worn out

I often feel all worn out on Fridays because it's the end of the week, and I have fitness class, P.E, jump rope practice, and usually I go to a friends house after. I usually am worn out from all the exercise, but at least I can usually sleep in the next day. I am going to start going to gymnastics on Saturday mornings though, so I won't be able to sleep in anymore, but that's okay because I love sports and I want to be the best I can be.
