A Short Story : A Story?

“John, what happened?” Officer Marks ask. I just keep crying and I hold Veronica’s head against my chest. An hour later they take Veronica into the ambulance. I just sit on the floor crying. “John, I need to take you in for questioning.” Officer Marks says. I get up and walk with him to the cop car. I get in the back and he

The reader will start to fear for John’s safety mostly because they don’t know what will exactly happen to him. The uncertainty of John’s fate created an even more suspenseful outcome. By making John’s future unclear, the author was able to plant thoughts of unsureness and anxiety within the reader’s mind. Another internal event is when Alejandra went to visit John in the barn to talk about what Duena Alfonsa had said to him. After John Grady explained that he’s not allowed to be seen with her, Alejandra expresses the unfairness of her great-aunt’s order. At this moment, John starts to believe that he sees sorrow within Alejandra and starts to feel bad for her. He begins to feel concern for her and eventually agrees to disobey Duena Alfonsa and spend time with Alejandra. Right after John agreed to do whatever Duena Alfonsa asked him to do he breaks his promise once he sees Alejandra. His inner thoughts had an affect on his consciousness and changed his views on spending time with Alejandra. Due to John’s sympathy towards Alejandra’s apparent sadness, he makes the decision to go out with

The room that John picks out for his wife is upstairs and secluded. There are bars on the windows and the wallpaper has patches that have been ripped off. Would you want to stay in a room like this after already suffering from depression and anxiety? She tells him that she expected a room “downstairs that opened on the piazza and had roses all over the window.” (217). However, she walks in to find a bed that is nailed to the floor. Imagine how scary that would be! John assures his wife and their family that she is fine. He thinks she will get better being in this room away from everyone and everything. Her “brother is also a physician and he says the same thing.” (216). She is placed into an uncomfortable environment and is made to be alone against her will. This is one of the reasons she loses her mind.

John knew he could live with his wrongdoing for his children but then he heard that Glies Cory died by being crushed to death for refusing to go to trial. What really was the last straw was when he saw Rebecca Nurse being brought in and refusing to confess a crime she didn't commit. He then realizes again that honor is more important and proceeds to rip up his signed confession.

She told John that she was raped by a former friend; and that she decided not to abort him. She also told him that that man had passed away since then. John, however remembers one day when he was young an angry neighbor referring to him as a son of the streets; something he did not understand then. Peers tease him with the words that his mother is a “slut”. His peers are constantly telling him that his mother refuses to tell him whom his father is because there are so many men involved that any or even a ‘combination of them’ could be his father.

However it was no use. A wonderful and terrible image of her dear, sweet John is painted across her eyelids. She is haunted by her beloved; never to be forgotten. He now resides in her head; guiding her and keeping her strong, telling her that everything is fine. But it’s not. It will never be fine: John is dead, never to return. No matter how many tragically beautiful dreams Elizabeth has, where she is wrapped up in John’s strong arms and he is looking down at her adoringly or they are just laughing and smiling at the pure euphoria of each other’s presence, she can never again wake up in his warm embrace or laugh at one of his jokes.

Just endure a little while longer, Jen told herself. They have to leave soon, they just have to, if they hope to evade law enforcement. They wouldn’t have time to torment them long. The thoughts brought her little peace as she licked the softening cock of her first rapist, but Alyssa’s cries sharpened her resolve. She could protect the girl, again. She could do this, and spare Alyssa the horror. There was no choice.

In conclusion, John realized that his rights and wrongs changed him as a person once his wife, Elizabeth, was put in jail. John before seemed to be a man where nothing can change him as a person to view things completely different than he did before. Once John wife was put in jail, he start to see things through a different perspective. He realized that having an affair and lying could come back to bite him in the back and affect him in the long run. Miller helps the reader realize that John has second thoughts about his ideas as soon as his loved ones are affected.

“where?!” she asked excitedly. “It’s a surprise!” They hopped in the car, Jon driving, Lucy very excited. Lucy puts on their favorite song on the radio, and smiled him as he drove. “He is the one” She thought. Suddenly everything was a blur and she was not smiling anymore. Everything went silent. The car crash felt like it lasted for hours. Lucy screamed maniacally, “Jon? Jon are you okay?!” “Jon!” There was still silence, and he did not respond. She saw blood, and instantly knew her boyfriend was not okay. Bright flashing lights appeared all around her and a paramedic started to pull her out from under the car. “I need to see Jon!” she screeched as the paramedic put her in the ambulance. “Did she even hear me?” Lucy

· The next day Josie learns that John committed suicide. She is oblivious to the reason why he would do such a thing. She desperately asks her father’s

Bonnie was sitting in her living room chair, skyping with her friends. For some reason her friend that was also conveniently named Whitney, wanted her friends to write her a fictional story. And as Bonnie was writing a story for her dear friend, the police rushed into the house and cuffed Bonnie. As they drove her to the police station, Bonnie already started scheming her escape. She called Dylan with her one phone call, and the plan had begun. While she was behind the cold iron bars, she heard a commotion outside the station. She smiled

“You don’t need to come with me,” Charlie called out to the figure following her on the dirt road.

"Now Sar--Gwen, my mother said as soon as Ben walked into the room. "I want you to remember not to be out too late tonight; it's a school night, remember. And did you give me Chia's number?"

“Please tell me, why there is an ostrich in my living room.” Kendal said from her bedroom door. She closed it to keep her Hemingway cat and her hubsand’s new lab puppy in there.

“What is the matter, my queen?” King Leopold asked Regina as she stared into nothingness, looking a little longing.
