Cornucopi A Narrative Fiction

The din was frightful. Billie was crying as usual. Dave and Sol-leks, dripping with blood from a score of wounds, were fighting bravely side by side. Joe was snapping like a demon. Once, his teeth closed on the foreleg of a husky, and he crunched down through the bone. Pike, the malingerer, leaped upon the crippled animal, breaking its neck with a quick dash of teeth and a jerk. Buck got a frothing adversary by the throat, and was sprayed with blood when his teeth sank through the jugular. The warm taste of it in his mouth goaded him to greater fierceness. He flung himself upon another, and at the same time felt teeth sink into his own throat. It was Spitz treacherously attacking from the side.”

The short stories, “Turned”, by Charlotte Perkins Gilman and “The Good Corn”, by H.E Bates provide strong examples of how the representation of characters influence’s the reader’s perception of a text. Both stories depict similar characters: a middle-aged, childless wife, her husband and an 18-year old girl who works for them. They are both about a similar situation: man cheats on wife with girl and girl falls pregnant. However, the author’s of the text are from very different backgrounds and this is reflected in their stories. Although there are many similarities between “The Good Corn” and “Turned”, the values reflected in these stories, their resolutions and the reader’s perception of them are vastly different due to the contexts of

The history of corn can be dated back to the beginning of time, but the use and value of corn had been unnoticed until it was introduce by the Native Americans. Where corn had seemed to be a big part of their everyday life from, being in myths, legends, and for a huge portion of their diet corn was an essential component. "when the Europeans had touched base to the New World during the late fifteenth century, the Native Americans had introduced corn what they had called maize to the Europeans .This crop was then later on grown and adapted from Canada to southern South America very quickly, which then began to form the new basis of the New World civilization" (Leventin & McManhon, 2012). The way corn has been changing and revolutionizing throughout time has been both fascinating and drastic. Rather than conventional corn being grown, it is genetically modified corn that have been dominating today 's crop industry and farming but the question remains as to how the various types of GMO corn has influenced the way it is grown and used and what its ramification are.

Gail Dines’s book Pornland: How Porn Has Hijacked Our Sexuality (Beacon Press, 2011) is about how porn is affecting our lives and why it's presence is damaging to our sexual freedom. Her point of view is just one point of view but it's very thought provoking and it makes you question a lot of things. A lot of things that you wouldn't generally think of. Some may not agree with her point-of-view because of her “anti-porn” agenda, but in this book Dine makes a fair amount of valid points.

Have you ever taken the time to think about the past, way back to mythology? In the three Native American stories, The Origin of the Buffalo, The First False Face, and The Corn, there are many similarities and many differences.

The three girls are on their way to the party when out of nowhere Talia slams on the brakes. " Why did you do that," asked Allie. " Didn't you see that," questioned Talia in a terrified voice. " Uh, no," responded Allie. " What did you see," asked Kaylee. " I don't know, but what I do know is that it was tall and looked like a dark figure, it had a black mist surrounding it," replied Talia as she started the car again. Every one was silent until they got to the party. When they get inside they see a bunch of decorations, and surprisingly everyone they knew was there also. Talia still didn't trust the fact that it was on a forbidden road.

My adrenaline started to accelerate; the blood in my body flowed quickly through my veins making them become thicker and prominent. I looked all around me for the slightest movement. Time and space seemed frozen in motion, no one in sight. I softly moved my feet one in front of the other. Then I stopped, motionless. I heard the sound of footsteps and I quickly turned around to find someone plunging upon me. It was an Inquisitor. He swung his sword at me. I dodged it and quickly grabbed his arm. Then it happened so fast, my heart started pounding, and I took his arm and broke it as if it was a frail twig snapping. The sound of the bone breaking was completely obstructed by his scream of pain. He stumbled to the ground. I slowly picked up his sword. I started swinging it, and finally I brought it down, killing him. I ripped it away from his bloody body. Attentively I looked at myself in the clear white reflection of the sharp sword. The blood streamed down it until it reached my sanguinary hands. I fell down to my knees, my ankle was definitely broken. Then gruesome war cries obstructed my hearing. I looked behind me and saw a horde of men running towards me. I tried getting up there was no way I could even walk. I knew they would chase me until justice has been served. I thought, “Should I live to be tortured atrociously, or should I put an end to this torture?” This question went through my mind many times. After only a couple of minutes, I

Corn has conquered the world. Farmers are being paid by the government to overproduce corn. If we were to look at the evolution corn has had over the years we would be truly shocked. Before and even now till this day in some parts of Mexico we can take a glance at how corn was produced at such small levels compared to today. Everything is being produced at mass levels.

“Did use the wand?” Mr. ED asked as he placed a plate in front of Titus. “Yes, I did.” The excited boy said, “And everything went better than expected.” “Hold on“, Mr. Ed said, “let me first fetch us some fresh water and food, then we can both sit and talk.”

The reverberation of the cannon blast echoes through my grieving soul. Not even the deafening noise can silence Denmark’s grief. More fell than anguish, hunger, or the sea! Look on the tragic loading of the bed. For all that I can see, my mind refuses to accept, my sweet prince taken too soon.

Each of the narratives I have discussed powerfully enact the desire to preserve the memory of who the person living with dementia once was, asserting their dignity and reasserting their value to the societies in which they live through remembering the roles they performed as professionals, family members, and members of groups or communities. However, they also demonstrate how both the person with dementia and their carers can move on, accepting the need to adapt to new roles, and to accept the co-construction of narrative and identity through shared remembering and ongoing forms of "identity practice" (Eakin 20).

The horn sounded, and that's when chaos had ensued. I ran swiftly towards the Cornucopia, and when I heard two cannons sounded throughout the arena. I had decided to risk a small glance behind me, trying to find out what that noise had made. When I turned, I found Russia standing proudly over Belarus and Denmark's corpses. My breath caught in my throat, and while tripping over my feet I grabbed an alcohol bottle and a rag. After another cannon sounded, I spun around to view the entirety of the arena. Lithuania was running off with Estonia, who had fishing gear. Hungary was dead, lying on the ground with a knife in her chest. Russia made eye contact with me, and I ran out as fast as I could, nearly puking as I passed Den's mangled corpse. Italy,

Born in 1875 in Kentucky, D.W. Griffith was raised in poverty after his former Confederate officer father died at ten, Because of the limited education he got, D.W. spent most of his pastime in the library. He found his dream to be a playwright and left his small town to gain acting skills. He would later drift around the country starring in non-major productions. Eventually he had a change of heart and decided to work behind the camera. He spent five years at Biograph Company.
