Alan Watts once said, “Better to have a short life that is full of what you like doing than a long life spent in a miserable way”. This means that it is better to have a short, enjoyable life rather than a long, dreary one. Similarly, if one knew they were going to pass away, they would want to spend the rest of their life happily. In The Fault in Our Stars by John Green, Agustus is told his fatal situation of a relapse of cancer. He then makes the most of the last months of life so that during his final moments, he could look back with content. This moral is clearly shown in James Hurst’s The Scarlet Ibis. This short story is about a young boy, Doodle, and his brother. Doodle has hydrocephalus; he is extremely delicate and constantly in danger

Have you ever read a short story that seemed to fit together perfectly? “The Scarlet Ibis,” a short story by James Hurst, was interesting because of how the exposition states that Doodle was supposed to die, but in the rising action, Doodle learns to walk, but it was tragic when he died in the end.

What makes this story fit together is how the author controls the element of the plot.

Despite that, she is benevolent towards her allies and subjects, and still believes that she should protect those, who cannot protect themselves. This makes her such an interesting

It has been years since my father disappeared that fateful night. Not to say that he was a good person, but that the murderer should be found for the sake of justice. I shall not discuss at great lengths my father’s faults, for it is not proper to speak of the faults of the dead. Every night I have thought, and prayed and reasoned for an answer.

His name is Montresor, and for reasons which no one can deduce, he is repairing his grand old mansion, which he has
