Chapter Short Story

She had the boys clasp the hand of the boy next to him on either side. This prevented any of them from covering themselves. She arranged the girls in a line and led the group, slowly walking down the row of naked boys. Each girl started looking first at a butt, then a penis, and then another butt. At each boy, she stopped for nearly ten full seconds. The bleachers, which the boys stood on, elevated them such that their specific areas of interest were positioned nearly at eye level for the girls. As the girls followed slowly behind, they kept pace with their coach, eagerly checking out the boy in front of them, and grinning widely at the girls beside them.

The imagery of fire in Edwidge Danticat 's short story “A Wall of Fire Rising” possesses a very powerful meaning and also continually changes throughout the entirety of the story. Fire was a very sacred thing to have, especially during the time this story has taken place.

“At least let me stay the night. I’ve traveled for days and need to rest. I will leave first thing tomorrow morning.” A moment of silent hesitation is the only reply. Nathan hears a quiet “fine” before the girl sheaths her sword in the blink of an eye. Her gloved hands hold onto the hilt of the sword, he notices, just in case. She seems to hesitate again before waving at him to follow, leading into the deep woods. It takes but a few moments to see the homely shack, smoke exiting through the makeshift

“I try to keep my appointments,” Rosalie attempted to smile at Anora, but her exhaustion only made itself known in her words. She crossed her arms against her belly, waiting for the other woman to speak, she had work to do and needed to prepare to close a deal with a clan on the Northern Coast.

William Shakespeare’s famous play Romeo and Juliet is filled with serious decisions. The two title “star-crossed lovers,” Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet, not only decide to get married mere days after their first meeting, but also choose to carry out a ridiculous plan to avoid an unwanted marriage and eventually kill themselves (prologue). Although such subject matter is not often found in young adult novels, the impulsivity of this behavior is a mark of Romeo and Juliet’s teenage inexperience. Their immaturity ultimately results in drastic consequences— namely, their own deaths; however, their naiveté was not a hazard for the entirety of the play. The way it affects their decisions and relationships with others changes over time, different at the start of the book before they meet than at the end, when they both finally make the monumental decision to commit suicide. Before they first encounter each other, Romeo and Juliet’s immaturity is harmless, but after their first meeting and as their relationship develops, it begins to prove dangerous.

The war had not dampened Charleston’s spirit. Nor had it altered its social events calendar. The invitation to Colonel Andrews birthday party arrived shortly after lunch two days after Thomas abandoned Allie at her grandparent‘s home.

“I’ll admit, I’m hesitant to send two humans to fight Kasol’s entourage, never mind that one of them is my queen and the other

Three days passed before Jingyan took a trip to Su Zhe's residence, following a familiar path to a destination with a wholly different sort of anticipation. He made his visit at night, when there were less watchful eyes and more shadows to hide his trail. When he finally stepped into the courtyard of plum blossoms, he detoured to the pond before entering the still-lit room of the house.

Naoko coughed nervously and continued, “It’s just an idea but I’d like to at least try it out to see if it’ll even work and since you’re said to be really god with kidō I thought you could help me.”

Giry looked at him pointedly, “Why go through the efforts when Anna is suitable and able lead?”

Romeo- But wait, what’s that light in the window up there? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun rising. Rise up, beautiful sun, and kill the jealous moon. The moon is already sick and pale with grief because you, Juliet, her maid, are much more beautiful than she is. Do not be her maid, because she is jealous of you. Virginity makes her look sick and green. Only fools hold on to their virginity. Let it go. Oh, I wish she knew how much I love her. She’s talking, but she’s not saying anything. So what? Her eyes are saying something. I will answer them. I am too bold. She’s not speaking to me. Two of the brightest stars in the whole sky had to go away on business,

“Hey Naomi.” Tyler said as we headed towards the hangar. “Don’t worry about not being picked as the Vanguard, some people are just born to be great. Like me.”

“You didn’t look very comfortable over there,” he stated as he put his coat on.

By 9 o’clock I am done with half of my rooms, finally coming up to room 314, Mr. Jelen. I grab his clipboard, there’s nothing unusual in his medical history, just some childhood asthma. He doesn’t have any instances of acting out either meaning this should be quick.

He reached out to the book before him but before he could touch it, a towel landed on top of his head as a soft breeze and sparkle had flicked his hair, well at least he thought he felt it. “Huh…”As soon as he removed the towel from his head he heard a voice from above his head. “Can’t let the books.” Maris was
