[00:00:01][music] >> Come on.

[00:00:11]Love you. Bye. Love you.

[00:00:14]>> [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] >> Once upon a time, there lived an enchanted princess who was imprisoned in a tall castle by her [music] father.

[00:01:06]He feared for her safety, so the king told her frightening tales of life beyond the castle walls.

[00:01:12]From her window, the princess could only see the lifeless and deserted land outside, dreaming of life beyond her captivity.

[00:01:21]Class, please show some respect. Liam.

[00:01:26]One day, a fairy from the outside land appeared to the princess.

[00:01:30]With her mystical knowledge of the outside world beyond the castle walls, she revealed to the princess that there were grand adventures waiting for her if she dared to leave.

[00:01:39]The princess pleaded with the fairy to take her away from her dull and monotonous life.

[00:01:44]That That's all I have so far. That's good. That's good, Liam. Um class, see how Liam has introduced the hero of the story and the guide, which is the fairy.

[00:01:52]Now, a lot of times the hero needs >> Does the princess end up getting caught and having to stay in the castle?

[00:02:01]I I haven't figured that out yet. Uh and and that's okay, Liam. You're right on track. Go ahead and take a seat.

[00:02:07]Now class, like I was saying, the hero often needs an accomplice.

[00:02:11]Uh and in this case, it's the the fairy, the guide. And the accomplice actually allows you as the writer to to create a story that thrives.

[00:02:25]That was crazy.

[00:02:27]I like that story. I'm not kidding, it's like you wrote it about me.

[00:02:31]Did you write that cuz you feel the same way?

[00:02:34]Uh well, yeah, I mean, Mr. Williams just said to write from experience.

[00:02:38]I feel like writing a children's story is kind of weird, but it's what I like to write about.

[00:02:42]Yeah, I'm still struggling with mine.

[00:02:45]I don't know, maybe I should just try writing a children's story.

[00:02:48]Well, I mean, it it just comes easier to me. I can just kind of take stuff that's going on in my life and add it in the story more.

[00:02:55]Like feeling trapped and wanting to feel free.

[00:02:58]Or feeling like you don't know where you belong.

[00:03:02]Yo, Dakota.

[00:03:04]Did you eat all the sour gummy worms I had in my backpack? You're the only one who would do that. It was probably you.

[00:03:10]Oh, this is Liam. Liam, this is my cousin, Garrett. What's up, dog?

[00:03:18]How'd you know my name?

[00:03:19]You sit by me, dummy.

[00:03:21]And I pretty much try to cheat off all your tests.

[00:03:24]And you're not a ghost, Liam.

[00:03:27]They're not in there.

[00:03:28]>> No, you have them. Come on.

[00:03:30]Look, girl, just be careful with her.

[00:03:32]She's not only going to rip off your grades, but she'll steal your candy, too, apparently.

[00:03:36]Y'all see after fourth.

[00:03:38]Oh, you should come hang with us after school. The baseball field's like kind of our spot. Coach Stanley just lets you guys hang on the field?

[00:03:46]Come or don't, up to you.

[00:03:50]Thanks, Dakota.

[00:03:51]See, I knew you wouldn't remember my name.

[00:04:03]Liam!

[00:04:06]What's up, dog? Hey.

[00:04:08]Uh didn't know you guys could come up here.

[00:04:10]Yeah, when baseball isn't in season, we kind of make it our spot.

[00:04:14]So, no teachers or coaches or >> Liam, relax.

[00:04:18]You know, it's kind of a dope view to see where my ball lands every time I hit it. Okay, cocky. You're going to be begging for my autograph.

[00:04:25]That's funny. Here.

[00:04:28]You [ __ ] you did steal one. You basically left them on top of your bag for me to take.

[00:04:34]Liam, come on, sit up here. No one's going to tell on you.

[00:04:36]>> Come on, dog. Give me the worms.

[00:04:39]So, uh you guys come up here a lot?

[00:04:42]Uh we started coming up here when we got kicked off the roof.

[00:04:45]She's always looking for some way to get in trouble.

[00:04:47]Or just to make life more interesting.

[00:04:50]If you don't, then you're going to end up stuck inside like that girl in your story.

[00:04:53]Oh, yeah, Dakota said you wrote some badass story.

[00:04:56]So, that's kind of your thing, huh?

[00:04:58]Well, I mean, I wouldn't really call it badass, but yeah.

[00:05:02]>> Stop being so humble. I mean, Mr. Williams always uses you as an example for the story course.

[00:05:07]I don't blame him, though.

[00:05:08]Every time he does, I basically get made fun of.

[00:05:11]Screw them. They don't know art.

[00:05:13]I know art. Here.

[00:05:17]Oh, uh Is she Yeah, I'm not very good at writing, but I guess this is kind of my way of telling stories.

[00:05:26]That's a story? Well, not just that. That's like like the beginning of the story, like the first chapter. Look, dog, you better get used to getting your picture taken if you're going to hang with her.

[00:05:37]She goes nowhere without that damn camera.

[00:05:41]Cute picture, huh?

[00:05:43]Um uh I think so.

[00:05:47]Well, I like it.

[00:05:52]I cry every time. You can't tell me you haven't cried once. Like not once.

[00:05:57]Okay, maybe in that one scene where Haku turns back into Hiyung and then they they fall. And then they all fly away.

[00:06:03]Oh my god. You guys are such nerds.

[00:06:06]By the way, you know it's Tuesday, right, Dakota?

[00:06:08]Oh, crap.

[00:06:10]My dad has me prep dinner on Tuesdays.

[00:06:13]Taco Tuesday, right?

[00:06:15]By the way, that's mine.

[00:06:18]See you tonight. You better run.

[00:06:21]Tonight? Yeah. I'll see you at your place. [music] All right. 57 Gresham Street. Cool.

[00:06:29]>> [bell] >> Steven, apparently this is the second time she skipped school this week.

[00:06:35]And I was washing her clothes and they smell like cigarettes, too.

[00:06:38]At least she's still showing up to volleyball practice, right?

[00:06:41]At this point, that's the only way a good college is going to accept her. I guarantee you she's late because she's out with that boy.

[00:06:47]Oh, there we go. No, actually, uh I think that's my friend, Garrett. We're going to hang tonight. Okay.

[00:06:52]Hey, Liam.

[00:06:53]Hey, you're not depressed or anything, are you?

[00:06:56]No. Why would I Well, that poem you wanted me to read, it's kind of pretty depressing.

[00:07:01]But no, that that poem was No, okay, buddy. All right, I was just just wanted to make sure.

[00:07:07]Hey, listen, if you see your sister out tonight, can you tell her we need to talk? Yeah.

[00:07:13]Have fun.

[00:07:17]>> [music] >> Okay, okay, okay. Everybody knows the rules. Yeah.

[00:07:25]>> [music] >> I know I'm ready. I hope you're ready.

[00:07:27]All right, newbie, just try not to be the [music] last one looking, okay? And uh Dakota, you're up.

[00:07:33]So, get.

[00:07:35]All right, let's go.

[00:07:37]Go. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 [music] 9 96 [singing] 97 98 99 100. Let's go.

[00:07:48]>> [music] [music] [music] >> Well, I just [music] thought it was your first time playing, you might need some help.

[00:08:17]Maybe you underestimate me, Dakota.

[00:08:19]Well, maybe I do, yeah.

[00:08:21]>> [music] >> So, I'm guessing we just play as low as we can? [music] Yes, and don't talk.

[00:08:42]>> [music] >> Yo!

[00:08:57]Where you guys at?

[00:09:00]Come on.

[00:09:02]Hello.

[00:09:04]>> [music] >> Anywhere?

[00:09:09]>> [music] >> I'm not going to lie, Dakota.

[00:09:11]I didn't expect the newbie to find you.

[00:09:13]Am I wrong, or were you the last one out here looking for me? I'm just kidding, bro. You did good. Thanks, Garrett. All right, everybody huddle up. Your boy's going.

[00:09:22]Come on.

[00:09:28]You can't take it away cuz it's not yours. Oh, yes, we absolutely can. So, let me get this straight. You want me to go to school where I'll literally have no way to get there.

[00:09:36]>> Cali. Liam, what's going on?

[00:09:38]>> Liam, not right now.

[00:09:39]>> what? It's fine. I'll just give my car to Brian and he can take it.

[00:09:42]>> How's he going to drive? He's not on the insurance.

[00:09:44]>> It doesn't really matter, does it? It's my car.

[00:09:48]Okay, class, we're going to be moving on to pivotal words and phrases. Why is it that authors use words and phrases to drive emotions, and actions of the readers.

[00:10:00]And as we work through that, I want you to consider how those changes change the mode of communication.

[00:10:06]How does that change what's being communicated? And then why would they ever go back and revise their work? I want you to pay close attention to the words that are chosen and what they do to a particular story.

[00:10:22]Okay, so you foreshadow using symbols and symmetry.

[00:10:28]Symmetry?

[00:10:30]Scenery.

[00:10:31]Where did you get symmetry? [laughter] I don't know. It started with an S.

[00:10:36]Gosh, this sucks.

[00:10:39]It's like I'm trying to learn this so I can pass a class that I don't even care about.

[00:10:44]Yeah, but we got to do it so we can get into college. College, right. Why would you want to start your life by getting into debt?

[00:10:52]I don't know. I don't know. I'd rather spend all that money to learn how to be a photographer in the real world, not from some textbook.

[00:11:00]How are you going to make money, make a living?

[00:11:03]Money's just a way for me to do what I want. And if I can do it without money, then who cares?

[00:11:09]I don't know. I don't want it, you know.

[00:11:10]I I'd rather just give it all the way to the people who need it.

[00:11:14]That's that's crazy.

[00:11:17]What?

[00:11:18]I don't know. Just the thought of not having a job. Yeah, or making what you love your job.

[00:11:24]My dad's on me about my grades, of which I'm failing, because he just he doesn't think being a photographer could ever be a real job.

[00:11:34]>> Well, you know they have art schools that teach photography though, right?

[00:11:36]Yeah, I know.

[00:11:38]But so what? I mean, I I don't need a piece of paper worth thousands of dollars just to call myself a photographer.

[00:11:45]Yeah, but it's it's a pretty good head start.

[00:11:47]>> My photography is good though.

[00:11:50]Can I see some?

[00:11:53]Sure.

[00:11:58]Here.

[00:12:00]Yeah, he keeps threatening to send me to live with my mom in her perfect new family who'll put me through boarding school.

[00:12:09]But he's too prideful to ever do that.

[00:12:11]Your dad's crazy.

[00:12:14]These are amazing. How'd you do that?

[00:12:17]Oh, that's just black and white film.

[00:12:23]But I mean, you're going to be a writer, right? You have to be.

[00:12:28]Well, my dad plans on me going to tech, so I guess I'll just go there and figure it out.

[00:12:37]Well, you could always take the year off and come with me and figure it out on the road.

[00:12:42]You could join the Peace Corps or something.

[00:12:46]You really are a freeborn, Archie.

[00:12:49]Freeborn?

[00:12:50]Yeah, you're you're one of a kind, different, a risk-taker.

[00:12:57]Huh.

[00:12:58]I like that.

[00:13:02]Is that why you come out here?

[00:13:06]Cuz it's free out here? Yeah.

[00:13:09]Yeah, I can come out here and and write, be myself.

[00:13:20]Well, I like being out here with you.

[00:13:24]I like having you.

[00:13:28]Hey, I have an idea.

[00:13:30]Have you ever been in a photo shoot?

[00:13:33]What? Like like [music] model? Yeah, model.

[00:13:37]Come on, you have the look. Let me style you up.

[00:13:42]Okay, I got a lot of stuff. [music] Put it on.

[00:13:55]Pose in it for the first time.

[00:13:56]Okay.

[00:13:59]>> [music] >> Look that way.

[00:14:06]>> [music] >> Yes.

[00:14:11]Oh, that was such a good photo.

[00:14:18]>> [music] >> No, it's cute.

[00:14:28]It's good. Look.

[00:14:30]Have you ever heard of the June [music] kids? Is that a like a band? No.

[00:14:35]That'd be a pretty cool band name though.

[00:14:37]Basically, they're this group of kids that all live together in North Virginia.

[00:14:42]I read about them in this book. And they just share all the money that they make and have no rules, party.

[00:14:49]So, they're basically a bunch of homeless kids?

[00:14:52]Homeless, no. No, no. They're all friends and they can basically just do whatever they want. You can take these off.

[00:14:59]That's kind of cool. It's like they're always on an adventure. Right, exactly.

[00:15:03]Like the feeling of waking up every day with something different.

[00:15:10]Freedom.

[00:15:13]You know, you're different.

[00:15:16]Different?

[00:15:17]Yeah, like thoughtful.

[00:15:19]You listen.

[00:15:21]I don't know. I like being around you and I don't really like being around a lot of people.

[00:15:26]Makes you a first.

[00:15:27]Don't say it like that. I'm not the only one who thinks it. Garrett likes you.

[00:15:31]Garrett likes everybody.

[00:15:33]My two friends I grew up with got on the football team last year and now they act like they don't even know me.

[00:15:38]Oh, screw those guys. Football sucks anyways.

[00:15:41]I bet they go to school every day wearing like Hollister and have that same haircut that looks like a wall in the front.

[00:15:48]>> They do.

[00:15:49]>> [snorts] >> See, all those guys are the same.

[00:15:53]But you're out here modeling for a famous photographer.

[00:15:57]Thanks, Dakota.

[00:16:13]Dude, what are these controls? Sorry, man. Just wait till I bring gold now.

[00:16:17]Oh, yeah.

[00:16:18]>> But hey, my dad's making brisket for dinner, so I'm going to head out. And by the way, I'm having a birthday party next weekend. You're going to be there, right?

[00:16:26]Uh Yeah, I think so.

[00:16:29]Are you sure?

[00:16:31]No, dude. Just stay here and play video games. All right. But Dakota's going to be there, so uh she'll think about it.

[00:16:37]Uh well, yeah. Of course she'll be there. You guys [music] are cousins.

[00:16:40]Yeah, I get it. I get it, dude.

[00:16:42]No, I get it. Play it cool. I get it.

[00:16:45]I get it.

[00:16:48]Hey, um uh anything you want [music] for your birthday that I can get you? Dude, shut up. Just show up.

[00:17:01]Dakota, just just let me write [music] it. No, Liam, no.

[00:17:05]Okay, I promise you I can write the paper and get you an A, which will bring your grade up to a B minus, which is not only passing, but kind of good.

[00:17:15]But are you sure it wouldn't be like a ton of extra work for you? I wrote my paper in one afternoon. It's not Okay, don't be such a bragger.

[00:17:23]Just let me write it.

[00:17:27]Dakota, it's due tomorrow.

[00:17:33]Okay.

[00:17:36]But try not to make it too good, if you can try to do that. You mean too much credit?

[00:17:57]I did this whole thing in one night.

[00:17:59]Okay. Um class, let's go ahead and get started. Would you pass your papers forward, please?

[00:18:05]Thank you, sir.

[00:18:06]Thank you, ma'am.

[00:18:10]Okay, now for the second part of this, which might come as a bit of a surprise.

[00:18:14]I want to make sure you all comprehend how the author you chose to write about uses emotion in their line of work.

[00:18:20]I don't be too alarmed. Just do the best you can to make a connection.

[00:18:25]Uh Miss Dakota.

[00:18:27]Miss Dakota.

[00:18:29]You seem eager to share. Would you like to step up front?

[00:18:32]Please, come on. George Eliot.

[00:18:35]Come on up.

[00:18:37]Tell us more about the author that that that you decided to write about.

[00:18:41]Okay.

[00:18:42]Um Well, so George Eliot connected with the people he wrote to through emotions um using language.

[00:18:54]Uh he Speaking of George Eliot?

[00:18:58]Yes. Yes, sir. George Eliot, uh the famous author who helped shape our history. Well, George Eliot did indeed shape a lot of American history from the novel Middlemarch, uh which it seems you wrote extensively about in your research here. So, I mean, this is very impressive.

[00:19:20]And and what of Mary Ann Evans?

[00:19:22]His lovely wife? Yes, she did also inspire much of his work.

[00:19:27]Miss Dakota.

[00:19:30]Uh see me after school. Please take a seat.

[00:19:36]Okay.

[00:19:37]Um let's see. Charles Dickens. George Eliot was her >> Sarah. It seems uh Let's see. Let's see. You wrote about his character development. I want you to explain to us how he emotionally engaged his audience through the characters that he wrote about.

[00:19:53]Like that. No, it's Well, looks like I just failed English class.

[00:20:01]Yep.

[00:20:02]And the worst part about it, Mr. Williams made me call my dad and tell him on the phone. Oh, [ __ ] Yeah.

[00:20:09][ __ ] Don't worry, you're safe. I told him I hired some college kid to write it. He said he can tell.

[00:20:15]Which I guess is a compliment to you.

[00:20:18]Wait, what did your dad say? Bro, it's what didn't he say?

[00:20:23]Hey, well, this should be fun.

[00:20:28]Just play cool, Dakota, okay? Be good.

[00:21:37]Dude, come on. Are you really trying to embarrass me? Make me open this in front of everybody?

[00:21:40]>> No, it's fine. I can take the brand new Xbox back to Walmart.

[00:21:45]Let's see what we got.

[00:21:48]Come on.

[00:21:50]Let's see.

[00:22:06]Thank you, bro.

[00:22:14]She's not here, bro.

[00:22:16]It's weird. I haven't heard from her, either. She's probably on some kind of restriction or something.

[00:22:21]Dude, it's not your fault. It kind of is, though. It was my idea to write the paper.

[00:22:26]Look, what's done is done, okay? Don't take the fall with her for no reason.

[00:22:30]Maybe um No.

[00:22:31]Trust me, this is not the first time she's gotten in trouble, okay?

[00:22:35]I promise. Okay. You ready? Yeah, uh grab the flashlights. Already on it, dog. Nice. Hey, let's go. We're going to the fields in the back.

[00:22:46]Okay, class. Let's get started. Take your seats, please.

[00:22:55]But there are some things I want you to do over the weekend. I want you to reconsider your stories cuz we're going to start the second revision next week.

[00:23:02]All right, man. I'll see you later. Keep your head up. All right, man.

[00:24:01]Dakota, what are you doing here? God, it took me forever to make sure this was actually your room.

[00:24:07]Yeah, uh it's usually pretty clean in here.

[00:24:10]>> Oh, you're going to need this.

[00:24:12]And your backpack.

[00:24:15]What are you doing?

[00:24:16]We're getting out of here.

[00:24:18]You mean like running away?

[00:24:22]You being serious?

[00:24:23]Yeah, we're leaving.

[00:24:26]Well, I'm leaving. You're coming with me.

[00:24:32]Oh, perfect.

[00:24:34]Hey, where where are we going?

[00:24:37]I'll explain when we leave.

[00:24:39]You're coming, right? [music] This is crazy.

[00:24:49]Oh, yeah.

[00:24:56]I can't believe we're doing this.

[00:24:58]You know you're crazy, right? Me? You're the one who came up with knowing about this for 5 minutes. I've been planning this ever since my dad picked me up.

[00:25:06]Oh, [ __ ] Fun, right?

[00:25:22]>> [music] >> This is insane.

[00:25:25]Oh, yeah.

[00:25:26]Also, don't worry. I have it all mapped out. We're going to hitch a [music] ride to this spot out of town.

[00:25:30]You're going to love it. Trust me.

[00:25:38]Okay, follow me.

[00:26:00]Hey, Dakota.

[00:26:02]I'm just >> [music] >> kind of nervous.

[00:26:05]About what? Trouble?

[00:26:07]Yeah.

[00:26:09]I guess it's just not like me to do this.

[00:26:13]Or maybe you just didn't know you had it in you.

[00:26:17]Just so you know, I I I wanted to do this, too. You didn't make I know.

[00:26:24]It just somehow it feels so Free?

[00:26:29]It does, doesn't it?

[00:26:31]Yeah.

[00:26:32]It does.

[00:26:36]Here we are.

[00:26:38]You ready?

[00:26:40]For what?

[00:26:41]Come on. Where are we going?

[00:26:45]Okay, I'm coming. Wait, wait up.

[00:26:49]Come on.

[00:26:59]You just did [music] that to get a leave it?

[00:27:06]I thought you'd be ready to run.

[00:27:17]Wake up, sleeping beauty.

[00:27:22]I saved [laughter] it. You're going to get a photo of me if you show me good stuff. Stop it. It was a good photo.

[00:27:28]Okay.

[00:27:30]We got tons to do today.

[00:27:32]And you didn't happen to pack any snacks or food, did you?

[00:27:36]Water, water.

[00:27:38]Okay.

[00:27:39]So, first we got to get food.

[00:27:42]And then set up camp?

[00:27:45]You know the June kids?

[00:27:46]The ones from the book?

[00:27:47]Yeah, the ones I told you about. There's this lake in Virginia, and it's kind of like their home base.

[00:27:53]Could take like a week to get there, but at least we're off grid for now.

[00:27:57]Isn't that like super far away, though?

[00:28:00]I got it all planned. Then after we've had enough of the June kids, Peace Corps, you and me.

[00:28:08]Dakota.

[00:28:10]Yeah?

[00:28:16]Let's do this.

[00:28:21]Okay, all right. All you have to do is distract him. I'll do the rest, okay?

[00:28:25]Yeah. Yeah, I can do it.

[00:28:26]Of course he can. Freeborn.

[00:28:35]Um hello, sir.

[00:28:38]Yeah, I need to use the restroom. Could I borrow a key? Restrooms for paying customers only.

[00:28:43]Oh, wait. Is that um Dragon Ball?

[00:28:46]Well, I'm 16, right?

[00:28:47]Goku faces Piccolo at the the World Martial Arts Tournament.

[00:28:51]Yeah.

[00:28:53]I prefer Dragon Ball No, our work in Dragon Ball is just insane.

[00:28:59]Um yeah, I I I I probably prefer Dragon Ball Z, too. Totally.

[00:29:04]All right.

[00:29:07]Better be number one, though. All right?

[00:29:10]You ever read Dr. Slump?

[00:29:11]I mean, that's like the OG.

[00:29:18]All right.

[00:29:26]Hello.

[00:29:29]Excuse me?

[00:29:32]>> [snorts] >> There must be a misunderstanding. Liam hasn't missed a day of school. You're speaking of Liam Collier?

[00:29:43]Uh okay. Give me a moment to call his father to figure out what's going on.

[00:29:48]Okay?

[00:29:50]Uh yes, I'll call you back in a minute.

[00:29:56]You ever think about death being life's biggest secret?

[00:30:00]What do you mean a secret? Yeah. Well, we're all going to die, but we're all scared to die, right?

[00:30:06]Right. So, maybe if we knew how great life was after we die, then we'd all just rush to the end.

[00:30:14]Like we'd all just try to get there as fast as possible.

[00:30:18]So, maybe it's kind of like a secret.

[00:30:22]Maybe that's what drugs are.

[00:30:24]No, like think about it. Like drugs make you think differently and feel differently and like see crazy colors.

[00:30:34]And there's like there's just some that make life better.

[00:30:38]Yeah, maybe dying is like all the best drugs ever combined. You know, like the best feeling ever.

[00:30:48]I mean, not like I would not never done drugs, but Would you?

[00:30:52]Hell yeah, would you?

[00:30:54]I'd rather try getting drunk first.

[00:30:55]You've never gotten drunk before?

[00:30:57]>> Dakota, come on. You really think I've gotten drunk?

[00:31:00]Yeah, good point.

[00:31:01]Wow, I need to get you drunk then.

[00:31:04]I mean, my parents let me try wine once, but I hated it.

[00:31:08]Yeah, that does not count.

[00:31:10]It's so fun. It's like everything just like feels more.

[00:31:14]It always makes me want to dance. It's probably the two things I've never done.

[00:31:18]Hot, Liam.

[00:31:20]I have so much to teach you.

[00:31:22]I could tell you'd be one hell of a dancer.

[00:31:24]>> Yeah. No.

[00:31:26]Oh, wait. Um I picked these up for you at the convenience store. Oh, [ __ ] >> Yeah. You're super thoughtful.

[00:31:32]>> Just one rule, okay? I get all the yellow and red ones.

[00:31:36]Oh, you mean this color?

[00:31:39]People share these.

[00:31:45]>> [music] >> You know we're kind of looking into the past right now.

[00:31:51]What do you mean?

[00:31:53]Well, the stars are so far away, it takes years for the light to travel to Earth. So, it's kind of like we're looking [music] into the past.

[00:32:04]That's beautiful.

[00:32:08]And that's why I like photography.

[00:32:11]Cuz like when I look at a photo, I'm looking into the past.

[00:32:19]Imagine taking a picture of the stars.

[00:32:23]You're taking a picture of the past.

[00:32:26]That's a picture of the past.

[00:32:31]Okay, mind-blown.

[00:32:33]That's actually really cool.

[00:32:37]You're just full of knowledge and ideas, aren't you?

[00:32:41]I just I like to read.

[00:32:45]It's just fascinating to [music] me how random words and letters can be pieced together to create something so so beautiful.

[00:32:54]26 symbols, and depending on how you put them together, it can create [music] such emotion.

[00:33:01]And when you write a story, someone can feel that.

[00:33:05]All through words and letters.

[00:33:08]It's just crazy to me.

[00:33:11]No, it's not that much different than photography when you think about it.

[00:33:16]How so?

[00:33:17]Well, like every photo taken is a moment that can never be replaced, [music] right?

[00:33:25]So, it's like one photo can mean something completely different to one person than it does [music] to another.

[00:33:35]It's kind of like poetry in its own ways.

[00:33:40]So, I guess we're just two poets laying under the stars then, huh?

[00:33:47]You put it like that, sounds pretty romantic.

[00:33:53]Maybe because it is.

[00:34:15]>> [bell] >> That must be him.

[00:34:24]Hey.

[00:34:25]Took a bicycle ride.

[00:34:27]Hey.

[00:34:28]Got Jackie and Kelly right over here?

[00:34:31]Hey, Nick.

[00:34:33]Sorry to have to meet you guys like this, but Garrett.

[00:34:38]You want to tell them what's going on?

[00:34:42]Yes.

[00:34:48]Now, you definitely be the first one up.

[00:34:49]No, no, no. The strategy is to sit back, let everyone else create the drama, and then start making moves after the merge.

[00:34:59]And you think you could do that?

[00:35:01]Now, you definitely be the first one to start telling everybody else what to do.

[00:35:04]You know Garrett would kill her.

[00:35:06]>> What's up, guys?

[00:35:09]Just play it cool. Follow me.

[00:35:12]Hey, what's up, guys? Hey, we weren't expecting to see any other campers out here. Yeah, yeah, us either. Um we're just on a day hike. So.

[00:35:20]>> look a little lost. Yeah. Yeah, we kind of are.

[00:35:25]Look, we get it. Casey Park is huge. I mean, a small group of us, we're staying here for a few days. Yeah, we're actually just getting some wood right now. We're going to cook up some dinner.

[00:35:33]If you all want to come hang out a bit.

[00:35:36]Uh thanks, but >> Yeah, we would love to. Yeah, we've just eaten like a protein bar, so. Who would do Hell yeah. Well, look, I'm Josh. This is Kelly. Dakota, this is Liam. Cool.

[00:35:47]How about you guys just set up the camp?

[00:35:48]We're going to grab some firewood. We'll be back there in a couple minutes.

[00:35:51]>> Okay, cool. Awesome. Thank you, guys.

[00:35:56]Dakota, what are you doing?

[00:35:58]What? They were super cool. Not everyone's out to get us, Liam. How do you know that? They literally asked us to eat dinner with them.

[00:36:05]I'm starving. Are you not? Yeah, but Okay, then what's the problem? I don't know. Maybe that we're running away and people might be trying to find us.

[00:36:18]No.

[00:36:24]Uh and there was something like warm on his arm. Yeah, it's like I could have sworn they were playing a joke on me, but it felt like somebody was trying to spit on me for real.

[00:36:31]>> [laughter] >> Yeah, somebody just spit on me in this campfire.

[00:36:35]No, I [ __ ] you not. Literally [laughter] [ __ ] you not just happened. Whoa, don't give away the punchline just yet. So, there's crows and they're in these trees.

[00:36:43]>> And so then everybody's like, "Hey, Josh, look up." And my dumb ass, I look up and literally one of them takes a dump right in the middle of the fire.

[00:36:49]Right on his forehead.

[00:36:51]Right in the middle of the Like [laughter] what the hell? Wait, why would you think that someone would spit on you? Uh not someone, me. Like I would randomly just throw >> Because you're trying to get me back after I pushed you in the lake. And spit is right, is it not? OKAY, OKAY. THIS DOES NOT look like that. And I guess God got the payback for me anyway.

[00:37:10]>> [laughter] >> Uh but I guess you guys are crashing here then?

[00:37:16]It's kind of late to try and hike out.

[00:37:18]Yeah, I mean, you guys can take my tent.

[00:37:20]We got some extra blankets, and uh me and Patrick can shack up tonight.

[00:37:27]I [laughter] listen, he wants to shack.

[00:37:28]We're definitely shacking. Every time we go camping, you talk about shacking up.

[00:37:31]We call him [laughter] Patty Shack for a reason.

[00:37:36]Yeah, also love That'd be great. Thank you. I don't I think I'm just going to hit the bed. I'm pretty tired.

[00:37:44]Thank you, Josh.

[00:37:45]All right, dude. Later.

[00:37:51]Yeah, >> [laughter] >> yeah, I could have sworn they were joking on me. Like somebody spit or something.

[00:37:57]Hey, hey, are you okay? So, Patrick's mom comes out into the woods, right? And little did you know, she climbs up on him like and next thing you know, she's Well, you guys have any other stories?

[00:38:11]>> [laughter] >> All right, check this out. So, Patrick's mom comes out into Damn, you slept hard. You must have been pretty tired.

[00:38:23]Where is everybody?

[00:38:24]Oh, they went on a hike to a waterfall nearby, but I said that we had to head out, so they said to tell you bye.

[00:38:30]Yeah, let's get on the road.

[00:38:37]Hey, what's your problem?

[00:38:42]Is it about us spending the night here?

[00:38:43]Because I mean, those people were super cool. They didn't even ask us why we were there, anything like that.

[00:38:49]Hey, I'm talking to you.

[00:38:52]What's going on? Nothing.

[00:38:54]Come on, let's get a move on. Meet up with the June kids.

[00:38:58]I what this is about?

[00:38:59]Like you don't really want to go anymore? No, I I want to go. I I just I liked it better when it was just you and me.

[00:39:07]I could be myself.

[00:39:11]Oh.

[00:39:13]Do you think I would just leave you once we met up with the June kids? No, I just I don't know. I You're You're way better at this than me. You know, talking to people.

[00:39:26]I'm not good with people like you are.

[00:39:29]I mean, yeah, those people were cool, I guess, but I Like I said, I don't like most people. And this journey is about us, Liam. I mean, I seriously couldn't do this without you.

[00:39:39]>> Yeah, right. No, Liam, seriously.

[00:39:44]I mean, in some ways it doesn't really feel like I'm running away because you're here.

[00:39:50]Yeah, it's more like >> Yeah. [music] I know. I I just it's supposed to be our thing.

[00:40:00]Like what you and me are doing.

[00:40:02]And if [music] we meet up with some other kids >> Then it won't change anything.

[00:40:10]It feels safe [music] with us, doesn't it?

[00:40:13]Yeah.

[00:40:17]See, you get me.

[00:40:19]Dakota.

[00:40:21]I didn't know I had this in me to >> [music] >> to run away to try stuff like this. I just I don't want things to change.

[00:40:31]>> [music] >> Okay, then let's make a deal.

[00:40:34]If we find the June kids and we don't like [music] them, screw them. Okay, we'll just keep going until we find something that we do like. Or find a shitty job [music] somewhere.

[00:40:46]Really?

[00:40:48]Really.

[00:40:52]You know, it's just not like him.

[00:40:55]Still having a hard time wrapping my mind around this.

[00:41:00]Officer Stan told me 90% of kids who run away end up returning.

[00:41:07]He's just going through a phase right now.

[00:41:10]All right, let's just remember he did say that this happens way more frequently with kids than we realize.

[00:41:20]Hey, Steven.

[00:41:27]I really liked He was a sophomore, but he was just like not cute at all. Oh, really?

[00:41:36]Oh my gosh.

[00:41:38]Check it out. You mean race to our hotel?

[00:41:52]Hello.

[00:41:54]He said hello.

[00:41:56]>> Dakota. What? It's rude for someone to say hello and no one respond.

[00:42:00]Come on, Liam. No one's here.

[00:42:04]Damn, we found a spot. You don't think that >> No, of course not. We're in the middle of nowhere.

[00:42:10]Honestly, I think this could be a pretty good setup.

[00:42:13]Here, let me show you around.

[00:42:16]Now, Liam, I know this may not be what you consider luxury, but we do actually have a few items that could catch an eye.

[00:42:26]For example, this top-notch frying pan.

[00:42:29]Wow.

[00:42:31]It actually is. You know, actually I think that might be a cast iron. One of the fine luxuries of this establishment.

[00:42:40]Oh my god.

[00:42:43]One of those old record players.

[00:42:46]Does it work?

[00:42:47]I don't know. Let me see.

[00:42:53]Oh [ __ ] it spins.

[00:42:56]That means there's power in this place.

[00:42:58]Go ahead. Dakota, look.

[00:43:01]What?

[00:43:03]So, I guess you're treating me to fine dining tonight.

[00:43:07]Looks like I am.

[00:43:11]Oh my gosh, it's so funny.

[00:43:13]Such an original.

[00:43:16]Oh, it was so good. So hungry.

[00:43:17]>> I know, me, too.

[00:43:20]Oh, dessert would be so good right now.

[00:43:23]It's a good thing we have it.

[00:43:25]Where did you get that? Dude, come on.

[00:43:27]This place is like crammed with goodies.

[00:43:30]It's the good stuff, too.

[00:43:33]So, tonight's the night, huh?

[00:43:36]Your first drink.

[00:43:38]And me, the bad influence to give it to you.

[00:43:43]Here.

[00:43:46]It was going to happen sooner or later.

[00:43:49]To our luxury hotel.

[00:43:54]Go on.

[00:43:59]Oh.

[00:44:02]Took [snorts] your first hit like a champ, bud.

[00:44:06]Is your throat always supposed to burn like this?

[00:44:09]It's easier the more you do it. Then it just gets more fun.

[00:44:13]Trust me.

[00:44:15]Oh, I have one more surprise for you.

[00:44:33]>> [music] [music] >> So, miss, [music] may I have this dance?

[00:44:53]But, sir, my >> [music] >> prom date would be so angry. But, miss, please. I saw you from across the room and I thought you were the most beautiful girl I've ever seen.

[00:45:01]You [music] must have this dance.

[00:45:04]Okay, just one.

[00:45:07]>> [music] [music] >> Do you really think that?

[00:45:19]Think what?

[00:45:21]That I'm the most beautiful girl you've ever seen. Yeah.

[00:45:25]I always have.

[00:45:28]>> [music] >> The state I long for.

[00:45:31]You knew that poem was about you?

[00:45:33]>> [music] >> I mean, you used my name in a poem.

[00:45:36]It's pretty obvious.

[00:45:38]I just wanted to hear [music] you say it.

[00:45:41]Say what exactly?

[00:45:42]>> [singing] >> That you liked me.

[00:45:47]>> [music] [singing] [music] >> I like you.

[00:45:56]So much.

[00:45:59]I like you, too.

[00:46:31]Liam, Liam, wake up. Wake [music] up.

[00:46:33]Wake up. Someone's here. Get yourself up.

[00:46:35]Get yourself We got to go.

[00:46:45]This is the Sheltuga River. That means if we keep heading north, we'll get to Hendersonville.

[00:46:53]And then we just have to keep heading northeast.

[00:46:58]Oh my god.

[00:47:01]Okay, well, that's the sign of a good night.

[00:47:04]Okay, wait here. This is what I call a recovery pack.

[00:47:09]Water and then gum.

[00:47:14]Can we just take the day off?

[00:47:17]Maybe take a nap or something.

[00:47:20]You know what? Yeah, yeah. Let's just get a little further and then we can rest. Maybe we can try to travel on some wheels tonight. Catch up the time. Let's go.

[00:47:38]Hello.

[00:47:40]Oh yeah.

[00:47:41]Oh my god.

[00:47:43]Okay, thank you. Uh what is the address?

[00:47:48]Okay.

[00:47:50]Okay.

[00:47:52]Thank you. Steven! Steven, get the keys.

[00:47:54]They have a lead.

[00:48:08]So, your dad really wants to send you to live with your mom?

[00:48:12]Liam, he literally walked into my room with a suitcase, told me to start packing and that he was sending me to her house on Monday.

[00:48:20]I don't get it though. What's so terrible about your mom's?

[00:48:24]I mean, not that I would ever want you to leave, trust me, but like why?

[00:48:32]Okay.

[00:48:33]So, basically, my parents got divorced when I was like five, right?

[00:48:41]And then my mom remarried like a year later and then started having kids.

[00:48:46]And so, every time I would visit her, I just felt like super out of place in her new perfect family.

[00:48:53]I don't know. I mean, obviously she tried to get me to live with her, but it never felt right, you know?

[00:49:02]Maybe you just never really gave her a chance.

[00:49:10]Yeah, I don't know.

[00:49:12]I guess it just feels familiar with my dad.

[00:49:15]You know?

[00:49:17]I don't know. He just makes me into this person that I'm not.

[00:49:21]I mean, for my birthday this year, he got me a dress.

[00:49:25]Liam, the last time I wore a dress was for like a funeral in fourth grade and the next time will be my wedding.

[00:49:33]He literally told me one time that if I don't go to college, I'm going to up homeless.

[00:49:38]Which is actually kind of funny because we kind of are homeless.

[00:49:44]Yeah.

[00:49:46]I'm sorry, Dakota.

[00:49:49]I mean I think you really are just the type of person that's really easy to be around.

[00:49:54]You're fun and creative.

[00:49:57]Maybe if your dad just got to know you a little more. Right, exactly.

[00:50:01]>> [music] >> He doesn't know me.

[00:50:04]But you know you.

[00:50:08]I think that's that's what's amazing about you. You don't care about anyone else thinks.

[00:50:13]I mean [music] I feel like I I don't really know who I am or or where I want to be.

[00:50:24]That's why I like hanging around [music] you.

[00:50:27]Liam I want to be you when I grow up. No, I mean you're like a talented writer.

[00:50:34]You're a good friend, you're sweet.

[00:50:37]It's just so weird to me that you think no one would ever want to be your friend.

[00:50:41]Well, people just make me anxious.

[00:50:45]I just feel like I always have to think about what I [music] say before I say all the time.

[00:50:50]And you can't be yourself at home?

[00:50:54]My mom and dad um let's just let's just say my dad thinks I'm [music] depressed.

[00:50:59]Because I let him read one poem that I wrote and it had a sad [music] tone to it.

[00:51:06]Dude, I'm sorry. Our parents suck.

[00:51:10]But that's their problem. Please make a promise to me that you'll never stop writing, okay?

[00:51:15]Dude, I'm serious. Like [music] everything you write just gets to me.

[00:51:24]>> [music] >> Thanks, Dakota.

[00:51:29]The neighbors down the road said they heard some music in here last night, so I came down to check.

[00:51:34]This is the photo we found inside.

[00:51:39]That's them.

[00:51:41]You got to be kidding me.

[00:51:45]So, what we're looking at right now misdemeanor trespassing and vandalism.

[00:51:49]Fortunately for the kids Dale here is not willing to press any charges.

[00:51:53]Thank you. No, I mean look at this place. We were getting ready to tear it down in about a month anyway.

[00:52:00]And then I know it's hard, but the the good news is is we know that they're not kidnapped at this point.

[00:52:05]I'm just shocked they made it this far out of town.

[00:52:09]All we can really do now, do you have any photos of the kids I can send over to the neighboring counties? Yeah, yeah, I mean I got those on my phone.

[00:52:16]All right, we got documents, photos whatever you need. That's great.

[00:52:21]>> Just everybody stay close by cuz we don't know what type of calls can come in over the next couple days. Yeah, we can do that.

[00:52:33]Do you want to ask them?

[00:52:36]Hey guys. Um me and my cousin were kind of lost, so I was wondering if you guys could give us a ride into town? Yeah, if you're heading up to Penrose, maybe you could drop us off? Uh yeah, sorry. We aren't headed that direction.

[00:52:49]All right.

[00:52:52]>> I'm headed up near Penrose.

[00:52:55]Could happily drop you guys off. It'd be a pleasure.

[00:53:01]Come on. Liam, just trust me on this.

[00:53:12]Those are some beautiful flowers. Are they for your wife? Yes, they are.

[00:53:18]Roses are her favorite.

[00:53:20]But they're not in season.

[00:53:22]But that store always seems to have them in stock.

[00:53:27]You know it's a pretty long drive from Rocky Bottom.

[00:53:33]Yeah, um my cousin and I we we got kind of lost.

[00:53:38]We were going to take the bus, but we missed it, so.

[00:53:42]Well, I'm happy to help.

[00:53:44]Looks like you two are on an adventure.

[00:53:46]Yeah, Daddy, that's what we got on our Mike over here is a writer and I'm a nature photographer, so we went on a hike for creative inspiration.

[00:53:58]Well, that sound like fun.

[00:54:00]What kind of story do you like to write, Mike?

[00:54:03]Well, don't laugh, but no children's stories mostly.

[00:54:08]But not just for children. It's like fantasy stuff.

[00:54:11]Oh, my granddaughter would love that.

[00:54:15]She's got a huge imagination for a 6-year-old.

[00:54:17]>> Oh, really? What's her name? Shirley.

[00:54:20]Well, it's a beautiful name. Yes, it is.

[00:54:23]She was named after my wife who passed from cancer just before she [music] was born.

[00:54:31]Um sorry to hear that.

[00:54:33]I just it's all Okay. You know seeing you two on your adventure reminds me of the things that Shirley and I used to do.

[00:54:43]Every May when the flowers start to bloom we'd go to all the parks, pick flowers Shirley would make a beautiful bouquet and I would pick the honeysuckle [music] just so we could enjoy them.

[00:54:59]Now I like to remind her that this old man is still getting flowers for her.

[00:55:06]That's so sweet.

[00:55:08]Seems like you guys are kind of like a team.

[00:55:10]Uh we sure were.

[00:55:13]And all that time it wasn't about picking flowers.

[00:55:17]It's what we learned about each other and and ourselves. [music] Kind of sounds like you two are doing that right now.

[00:55:28]Yeah.

[00:55:29]I think we're trying.

[00:55:35]>> [music] >> Well, here we are.

[00:55:38]Richard, thank you so much. I mean we really enjoyed your company. Oh, it's been my pleasure.

[00:55:46]Here.

[00:55:48]I want you all to take this.

[00:55:51]It's my contribution to your all's adventure.

[00:55:54]Oh, no no, you really don't have to do that.

[00:55:57]Now got to call your parents soon and let them know you're doing okay.

[00:56:07]Okay?

[00:56:08]Okay.

[00:56:09]Okay.

[00:56:11]Of course.

[00:56:12]Thank you so much. It really I mean No.

[00:56:16]Thank [music] you.

[00:56:31]Treat ourselves? To a good night's sleep?

[00:56:34]And pizza.

[00:56:34]>> [music] >> But Okay, um I'll be back. I'll be back.

[00:56:53]Hi.

[00:56:54]We'll have the cheapest room you got.

[00:56:56]One bed or two?

[00:56:58]Um one.

[00:57:06]$62.37.

[00:57:09]Okay.

[00:57:12]Here you go.

[00:57:24]Thank you all.

[00:57:26]Room number 159. Check out time is 11:00 a.m. Press pound one if you have any questions or if you need any towel.

[00:57:33]Cool, thank you.

[00:57:48]>> [laughter] >> Okay, wait. Let me get a photo.

[00:57:52]>> Okay, wait.

[00:57:56]I think that was good. Check it out.

[00:57:58]Let's see.

[00:57:59]Was it good? Oh, it is good. Let me see it. Can I keep this one? No.

[00:58:03]>> I want to keep this one. No. No, I'm keeping this one. No, no way. Please, Dakota. You've had everyone. Fine, fine, fine. Okay. You can keep it.

[00:58:09]>> Thank you. All right.

[00:58:11]>> [snorts] >> What is this this feeling?

[00:58:22]I've never felt it before.

[00:58:24]>> I know.

[00:58:26]Describe it to me. Okay, I'll go first and then you go.

[00:58:29]Deal. Okay.

[00:58:33]Okay, you know how something in life can go so wrong? Yeah. Right, like like we're sleeping on the floor or or we're hungry or something.

[00:58:45]It's like none of that matters because I have [music] this feeling and this feeling just makes everything better. Yeah.

[00:58:54]Okay, your turn. Okay, um so time, right? It's it's strange. If if you look at something like a wall time seems to move pretty slowly, but if you look at something like the mountains I can look at the mountains for hours and [music] it feels like minutes.

[00:59:12]Let's just say it feels like that. When I'm with you I I'm always looking at the mountains.

[00:59:17]I wake up looking at the mountains and I go to sleep looking at the mountains.

[00:59:21]And when I hold your hand >> [music] >> I can see the streams roll over the hills.

[00:59:29]And when I kiss you I fly.

[00:59:36]>> [laughter] >> Okay, that was pretty cheesy.

[00:59:39]>> No, no, no. I'm sorry. It was cute. It was cute. It was so poetic. Okay. Which makes sense cuz you're like a writer, so.

[00:59:47]What I guess I'm trying to say is I think this feeling I think it's I think it's [music] love.

[00:59:59]I I think I love you, Dakota.

[01:00:03]>> [music] >> I [music] think I love you, too.

[01:00:13]>> [music] >> No.

[01:00:29]>> [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] >> We're analyzing the elements of story structure in the text here.

[01:01:48]Uh so, turn to page 66, and why don't you begin reading for us, Liam?

[01:01:55]Liam?

[01:01:56]Are you paying attention?

[01:03:06]You know?

[01:03:07]We all need a little risk taking in our lives.

[01:18:04]Thank you for stopping by.

[01:18:06]>> [screaming and crying] >> All right. Good night.

[01:18:40]>> [crying] >> Once upon a time, there lived an enchanted [music] princess who was imprisoned in a tall castle by her father.

[01:18:58]He feared of her safety, so the king told her frightening [music] tales of life beyond the castle walls.

[01:19:04]From her window, the princess could only see the lifeless and deserted [music] land outside, dreaming of the world beyond her captivity.

[01:19:12]One day, >> [music] >> a fairy from the outside land appeared to the princess.

[01:19:17]With her mystical knowledge of the world beyond the castle [music] walls, she revealed to the princess that there were grand adventures waiting for her if she dared to leave.

[01:19:25]The princess pleaded with the [music] fairy to take her away from her dull and monotonous life.

[01:19:31]Without hesitation, the fairy whisked the princess away from her tower, and together they traveled to many towns and villages where the princess met [music] the kind and gentle people of the land.

[01:19:41]She soon grew fond of them as she helped with their everyday tasks, and they in turn taught her their [music] own skills and crafts.

[01:19:49]And so, the king searched high and low for his beloved daughter, sending his most trusted guards on a quest [music] to find her.

[01:19:57]As the days turned into weeks, the king became increasingly desperate, gathering any information he could [music] about her whereabouts.

[01:20:05]One fateful day, as she was lost in thought tending to the garden in the village, [music] she heard a rustling in the bushes.

[01:20:12]She turned to see the king's guards.

[01:20:14]They seized her and brought her back to the castle, leaving behind the life she'd [music] grown to love.

[01:20:21]As the princess returned to the castle, the king banned the fairy [music] from entering and ordered the princess to tend to the gardens.

[01:20:28]From the time she spent with the fairy, she had learned the skills to love her garden.

[01:20:32]Her love and care for the plants were so great that they began to grow bigger and more beautiful than anyone had ever seen.

[01:20:39]Vines began to climb up the stone walls, trees grew taller [music] than the castle's towers, and fields of flowers bloomed in every corner of the land. The king was amazed at the sight and couldn't [music] help but soften his heart towards his daughter and the peasants outside the walls.

[01:20:56]He invited the peasants [music] back into the castle grounds where they lived in peace and joy alongside the princess and her magnificent [music] garden.

[01:21:05]And so, the princess was beloved in all the land. However, she never forgot the [music] fairy, knowing that their brief time had taught her that the risk of adventure >> [music] >> leads to living. The castle that was once desolate and dreary became a place of life, love, and magic.

[01:21:23]>> [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music]
