A Rambled Misadventure Short Story

I found the title of the story to be kind of ironic. The title led me to believe that the misfit would spare the entire family's lives. However, he in cold blood killed all of them. I also thought that the grandmother calling the misfit a good man added to the irony of the story, but it could also indicate her own fear. Also, the misfit saying "She would of been a good woman" was ironic towards the story. Another, ironic part of the story was the grandma's death. The moment that she touched the misfit in an attempt to show him some compassion and says "Why you are one of my babies. You are one of my own children!" she is shot. I was surprised at this because I was secretly hoping that she would

I stand and stare in disbelief as the car’s bonnet is crumpled into the bulky metal pole on the side of the road. My limbs are numb and I am drenched from head to toe. The glistening droplets continuously drip off the tip of my nose as I realize how much trouble I’m going to get into. The wind wails around me as if it’s saying “you’re going to be in so much trouble”. I suddenly get back into the car and attempt to reverse the car so no one will see the car rammed into the power pole. Mum and Dad's pristine new car. Scratched. Dented. Ruined.

Sadly, not all marriages have good endings. This could be caused by several reasons, such as falling out of love, neglect, or lack of communication. The latter is the main cause of the short story A Young Man’s Folly by Susan Michalicka. The story revolves around a modern family, where a boy tries to deal with the loss of his father leaving him. Michalicka conveys the message of: “Sometimes when you’re chasing something, you lose sight of what is really important” very well through the use of conflict, characterization and symbolism.

The first hero that I present to you is Johnny Cade. Johnny’s first act of heroism is in the park the night of the murder. Bob, Randy, and three other Socs confront him and Ponyboy in the park. The Socs throw him and Ponyboy around until Bob tries to drown Ponyboy in the fountain. Johnny flicks out his switchblade and stabs him. The scene of the murder is interpreted in two ways. Some may say that he is a typical hoodlum who committed murder but I choose to look at it as he saved his friend from getting murdered. Another example of Johnny’s heroism is when he comforts Ponyboy during the train ride, in the church, and when he comes up with the idea to change their looks. This heroism is more understated because it’s not what we usually think a hero does, but it is very heroic because all heroes should have compassion and change their looks is what might have kept them from being seen by anyone, which in essence is a way he saves

There was a split in the path. The sky was dark. I was sweating in my Indiana Jones costume. I could barely notice my family and friends next to me. The moon off to the side was are only light. My mother pointed and said

Although not an intellectual experience in the traditional sense, I learned something new along every step of the way. The fashion of the 60’s and 70’s was just downright tacky. Drywall used now is much thinner than what was used in the 50’s when his house was built. Blow-in insulation is no longer used in modern homes, although fiberglass has remained an important raw material used in insulation. Carpet pads are much higher quality today, but the tack strips used in the 50’s were made more durably. I learned first hand in a way I never could have during a class or extracurricular activity, and this is why this intellectual experience was so rewarding for

Then i came in ,i swooped down grabbed the poor girl who committed the crime and ran out the door shooting the guards on my way. They deserved it,trust me. People call me a villain but i see me as a vigilante who's a little more outside of the law than most heros. Besides you haven't leard until you learn monsters have nightmares to. Anyway while i was riding away from the courthouse on my bike with the actually innocent girl one of the of the founders guards was high on my tail. But see i was an engineer so i tricked my bike out a bit. I clicked the button right by my bike and let's say he was fire. I turned around and i laughed. I could have done it myself but you know i have to be a safe driver, gosh im not

Throughout this semester we have analyzed many tales revolving around different “heroes” and their accomplishments. Our first “hero” was Ree Dolly in an independent film called Winter’s Bone, she had to find her father in order to keep the land her family lived on. The next hero was Chris McCandles from Into the Wild who was sick of living within the boundaries of normal life and wanted to go somewhere where he could truly live. Then, we had Juror #8 from 12 Angry Men who is put up to the task of persuading a jury to save a boy’s life. Lastly, we have Abdulrahman Zeitoun from Zeitoun who has to overcome the challenges of his ethnic background to be free.

Who is she and how does she know my name? There are more eyes staring at me with disgust than I can count. I feel like an animal at the zoo, having my every move observed. I can’t move, I can’t think and I can’t speak. These people don’t know me or what happened that night. If I were bold I would say something back at them. I can feel my throat closing in as I think. I would never be able to speak. I don’t know what to do. I feel to blame for this girl whose “brother got arrested at that party. He got fired because of the arrest” (28) but she doesn’t know why I did it. My head is filled with voices responding to all of these comments but I can’t open my mouth to tell them. There is nothing I can do to save myself

By taking advantage of the soldier’s delay and delay in weaponry, the people had a large fighting chance. After several casualties on both sides, the rebels capture the governor of the prison and held him against the soldiers. The soldiers surrendered and the three managers of the prison were stabbed, shot, and beheaded. Their heads were displayed on pikes and paraded around the city (Schurer 67). This signaled the citizen’s first victory over the monarchy. The nobility was under the citizen’s control.

It was time to take the prisoner to court. Detective Chen had been picked to drop off the prisoner at court. On their way there the car behind him had hit him in the rear. Detective Chen’s car toppled over and was upside down. He saw movement and saw that the prisoner was trying to get out. Detective Chen’s partner Detective Xander kicked open the car door and took out his gun and started shooting. “Chen hurry up and get out, yelled Xander.” Right when Chen got out Xander had gotten shot. Xander was on the floor dead. Then the prisoner got out and started to run to the other car, but then Chen shot the prisoner in the back and the 3 men from the car had to help him. Chen ran after the car, but it was useless. The prisoner had gotten away and

So they went to trial and were all found guilty. So the cops put them in there cuffed and walked them away. Then there were these guys in ski mask. They were bringing in a big wooden box. That had a boom in it. They said if you do not do what i tell you to do then i will blow you all up. Lets just say nobody walked out of that courtroom that day or went home to their fameily’s. THE

Distorted narratives are capable of twisting what the typical, nowhere near out-of-the-ordinary telephone pole means and the little emotion associated with it. With the assistance of shocking facts, she is able to completely change my perspective of something so simple and create a complex view and upside-down interpretation that drew out feelings of heartache and horror. In our day-to-day lives, people come across these thought-altering events such as pimples. They have the ability show up even when so many precautions are taken to avoid them. Common objects, like telephone poles, or common occurrences can have such deeper association caused by awry actions and backgrounds. As I continue to transition from high school to college (even a semester
