They try to resolve the situation by going to the barn to try and call the hospital because it was 55 miles away .The setting was cold, they reveal to the man that Kenny killed his dog the author uses irony with a twist because the man paid Kenny to kill his dog.

Embers flew from the campfire, and into the starry night sky; meanwhile, the campers, Jackie, Carl, and Jim, sat close to it for warmth. “Now who's ready for a campfire story?” said Jackie. “You can sometimes go a little overboard, so Carl is taking the wheel.” Carl continued, “Once upon a time” Jim screams, and Carl rolls his eyes at Jim, “May I proceed,” He responds rhetorically. By the time Carl finishes the scary story, Jim has already dashed into the tent, startling his dog, a basset hound named Roxy. Carl along with Jackie look at each other in regretful worry, as they walk towards Jim's tent.

Billy was an adventurous little boy who lived near the Ozark Mountains. He wanted two Red Coonhounds more than anything in the world. Although his parents could not afford two dogs, that did not stop Billy from trying to get them. With the help of his grandfather, who sold coon skins for Billy, he saved enough money up and bought two Red Coonhounds from Kentucky in a sportsman's magazine. As soon as the dogs arrived in the town of Tahlequah, Billy went to retrieve them. After gaining two coonhound dogs, one boy and one girl, Billy named the boy Old Dan and the girl Little Ann. After weeks of training them, Billy, Old Dan, and Little Ann went on their first hunting trip. After several months of hunting, Old Dan and Little Ann became well known. After a

“Jackie, you can sometimes go a little overboard, so Carl is taking the wheel.” Carl continues. “Once upon a time” Jim screams. He rolls his eyes at Jim, “May I proceed,” He responds rhetorically. By the time Carl finishes the scary story, Jim has already dashed into the tent, startling his dog, a basset hound named Roxy. Carl and Jackie look at each other in regretful worry, walking towards Jim's tent. Opening the tents flap reveals Jim smothering his face into his pillow, crying. “Oh, I didn't mean to scare you with my story, Jim” apologized Carl.“It's just a story, Jim, there's nothing to be afraid of.” sneered Jackie, resting her hand on his shoulder. “Jackie! You know I don't like scary stories!” He cried, muffled by his pillow. “Hey, listen Jim, you can't

This time Cosmo thought to himself, he would not be fooled, so Cosmo had gotten a toy blow up baseball bat of his room and went to hit “Timmy” with it only to find out it was his dog Chet Ubetcha. Chet Ubetcha quivered in fear. Cosmo thought he was crazy, he made himself food because he was still famished. After Cosmo had eaten, he heard a noise, ding dong, he then heard it again ding dong. He thought there was someone at the door, but then he thought there couldn’t be, not only was it after 9 o’clock, there town district has a curfew because of the current outbreak in toxic gases that can make you see things that aren’t there. To make sure there was no one at the door, he walked to the door, opened it and again it was Timmy. This time Cosmo wasn’t sure what to do, so he just shut the door. Cosmo then went back upstairs and went t bed hoping it was all a bad dream.

It was a hard rain that woke him up, the pitter patter on the windows and the clunking against the metal shackles. Tennent lifted his head off his blocky, drink stained pillow and headed toward the door. The sound of glass breaking whistled behind him as the liquor bottles sprung off his bed, being dragged by the blanket he held onto, like the pain and regret that were held in the shards would always follow him. He finally reached the door as he turned the bolts to lock as he always forget too, and started crawling to the mini refrigerator that hid in the back corner of the room. As Tennent crawled to the iced bar he remembered why he was only supposed to stay in this over expensive motel for a few nights, having to help his mother though the latest and recent flu that’s been going around.

Trent James was sitting on his bed reading a book. “Trent! Go buy a loaf of bread and a jug of milk.” “Here’s $.50 to get you and your sister some candy.” Trent went to his cooking mother and got the money, then left for the grocery store. Trent was walking down to the local supermarket, which was one block from his house when he heard a squealing animal. It was near, yet distant. He looked over to the playground and started walking to it. He heard the crying sound again. He looked under the slide and saw a puppy crying. He scooped it up and looked for a collar. He didn’t see one. Trent then carried the dog home. “Mom. I found a dog”, Trent said. “A dog?”,Trent’s Mom said. “Yes, a dog.”,Trent said again.

At first though we hear about a guy called Alfie who was “a cutter – a hairdresser – and had to get to work”. He is having breakfast with his wife, when she asks him what he did last night, and if he had a good time last night? Alfie can not remember what he did last night, he then looks in his wallet to examine how much money he had spent or if he has any cocaine left or anything else, which could give him a clue of what he has been doing. He finds something strange inside his pocket. In his pocket he finds a penis, with balls, and pubic hair.

“Come on Dakota.” I said. Dakota is my dog it is a Siberian husky. We went on to the street where the homeless shelter is to take some canned food I don't need. I got in the shelter and dropped off the cans and went on my way. I look back and see someone walk out of the shelter but I thought nothing of it. I ponder along the sidewalk with Dakota until we reach Parliament Hill. I went to the corner store to get a bag of

I hurried out to take the pup back to the nest, trying not to cause anymore trouble. I took the pup back to the nest and played with his soft fur with he rested in my lap. Time rushed by, and I spent most of my time in the barn with my brown and white pup. I don't think I could ever thank George or Slim enough for the pup. Slim walked in and he said the pup could get hurt if I pet it more, so I went to the bunkhouse. On my way to the bunkhouse, Carlson and I met up, and we entered the bunkhouse together. I went directly to my bed, I was very tired from all the barley bucking I did today. When I went to the bunkhouse, Curley and every man except George, Candy and me left to see a fight. They believed that Curley’s wife was with Slim, but he was in the barn, and she wasn’t in there. I got up from the bunk, and went to sit with George at the table. George brought up Andy Cushman, haven’t heard that name in a long time, but I remember, “his old lady used to make hotcakes”(56). I got distracted and started drumming out a song I heard not so long ago on the table. I really want to move to our own place an’ live offa the fatta the

The dog sit and behaved the whole time. When Opal went to the library regularly, she was new to the town and lost her mother when she was only like 2 years old. So she needed to make new friends and when she was thinking about that the town’s big bullies arrived and Opal said quickly “You guys are bald headed cry babies!” Then, quickly ran to the library with her dog

An hour after the moving van parked in the driveway of 406 Clybourne street in Clybourne Park the younger family waved at the van when it slowly moved away and they went inside when the van was out of view. The family worked together to put away their belongings and they stood hand and hand and they took a breath of fresh air. Beneatha went first to her room to put away her stuff then Ruth and Walter went next and Travis left to go hunt for his new room. They all left until Mama was left there alone looking out the big window. Mama gingerly stepped to the window and put her plant down smiling in thought. When the door bell rung she jumped and went to the door. At the door was a white woman and when the door opened and saw mama she flinched and said “Hello, I’m your neighbor it’s nice to meet you.” She said “I’m Susan it’s nice to meet you.” She said this slowly, deliberately like she’s talking to a foreign person and Susan put out her hand and mama did not reach for it her face was just a blank stare. Then after a while mama stammered “h-hello I’m Lena Younger its very nice to meet you.” And she reached out and shook Susan’s hand and Susan quickly took it away. Then she said “Well I just came to say,” Susan took mama’s shirt and pulled her face so close to mama’s that their noses were touching. “stay out of our way, we will stay out of your way if you stay out of ours.” She shoved mama into their brand new house and slammed the door so hard that

Alfie believes the police will “read the last thing [in the notebook] as a suicide note, simply because it was the last thing,” (80). He fears that the entries in his notebook will portray him in a negative light and hint at insanity. He is not comfortable with this assumption. Crazy would be another separation between what is expected and who he actually is. Alfie goes to the motel believing he will end his life there using the gun he brought, but he employs many methods to distract himself. These distractions include critical description of the room, daydreams about his notebook, and counting. He devises all three methods as ways to avoid facing the dilemma between expectations and what he will actually do. He is the one creating these distractions for himself which communicates to the reader that Alfie knows he won’t fulfill what he set out to- at least not as efficiently or as flawlessly as he has planned. Alfie does many things to avoid being shown as a person who fails to fulfill

Both Geoff and Alfie's mother, who sees the incident out of her window, believe that Alfie has been crushed under the overturned tanker. In fact Alfie is unhurt and runs away

Bertha talked Gus into driving around and seeing if we could find Wishbone. Once the sun started setting we drove back home. I was pretty bummed that we didn’t find Wishbone. Once we got home i got out of the car first and you wouldn’t believe it there was Wishbone eating away at the scraps. I ran over and quickly shut the barbed wire then i heard him whimper. I ran inside gots some meatloaf and gave it to him. I was so happy. He had to sleep on the floor ,but in the morning i would bathe him and teach him tricks. Today is Saturday so I have all day to work with Wishbone. Gus made a collar for him and we were using a rope that hooked to the collar for a leash. First I called Howard's house and then we both gave him his first bath (as far as we know). When we were done we taught him tricks and he learned really quick. The next morning I got on my dress and went to church. After church i went over to Howards. Me and Howard went down to the creek and put our feet in it. Then we said something at the exact same time. I told him to lock pinkies with me and make a wish. We both did then i said that if I guessed what he wished for it would still come true. He said ok and i answered,” I bet you wished you didn’t have that up down walk.” I saw his face and he looked hurt. He said we should head back to the house I sat there feeling really bad for what I said. When I thought things couldn’t go any worse a squirrel jumped out and Wishbone darted toward it. By the time I got up
