Margaret Atwood’s short story, “Bluebeard’s Egg” is a contemporary retelling of the original story “Bluebeard” that is written by Charles Perrault. Atwood’s revision differs from the traditional tale of “Bluebeard” in that it takes place in a modern day setting instead of a fantastical environment, it lacks magical elements and it is a narrative that is told through the third person point of view instead of omniscient. “Bluebeard’s Egg” explores the themes of, infidelity, ingenuity, concealment, and curiosity by shifting the fairy tale into a modern, middle-classed environment so her readers can find it more relatable.

Katie is now happy because she is celebrating all of the good memories that she had with her

You had hinted at that possibility last season when we talked. Did you have any input with the writers on Katie's story arc? Yes, you are right! I am very excited to see Katie’s storyline continue to develop.

Everyone thinks of it as a harmless lightning storm. When Dave Drayton notices a strange mist on the lake, he thinks nothing of it. When he, his son, Billy Drayton, and his neighbor Brent Norton travel to the supermarket, the unthinkable happens. On their way to the market, they see the army, firefighters, and the police heading toward the mist. When he sees this Brent mentions something about "Project Arrowhead", a secret military project that no one knows about. As they are shopping, they see three soldiers walk in, pick up a few things, then head toward the mist.

Do you want a friend who cares about you? Phoebe is that friend. She is alert of things around her and very protective. She makes friends easily, quickly, and gets along with a lot of people. She is caring about everyone she meets and has a big and great heart. Having a friend like Phoebe would lead to having a good friend, someone who is protective, and always looking out for you and yes I would.

My favorite character so far in the book is Brittany Rush's older sister, Christine Rush. Although Brittany is the main character in the book, Christine is my favorite because she is active, friendly and caring. Brittany is too bossy, selfish and fake. Many characters in the book are just like Brittany so Christine is the only one who I

I would really like to have the main character, Polly Nathoy as a close friend because she is by far one of the most caring, genuine people in the novel. It is clearly shown how much she cares about the ones she loves and how she would risk her like for the people she cares about. During a scene where the man she loves got shot, she has more hope than anyone. She knew she had to help him pull through. I would obviously want someone like this as a friend, not only because of how generous she is, but because sometimes she needs someone to be just as nice to her. Another example in the book would be when she meets a little girl for the first time that is having a hard time adjusting to her boarding school and being away from her parents. Polly

I would probably want to be friends with the protagonist Hank Zippster because he had a good idea on how to get even with Nick McKelty the school bully. He decided to build a haunted house to scare Nick for making fun of his italian dinner table costume that he spent hours on making. He started by going to buy the things he needed to make the haunted house. Then he enlisted the help of his two best friends. Next all three of them gathered the supplies and started to build the haunted house. He had a skelton and when you touched it the arm fell off. He had mushy brains in a bowl made from overcooked pasta and eyeballs that were peeled grapes soaking in slimy egg whites. Also he had a spider that one of his friends would drop on the bullies head.

In “The Cockroach” by Liu Yichang there are many underlying themes. The theme I chose to focus on was the involvement of the seven deadly sins. The whole story revolves around death and it leaves you wondering why that is, but it ties in to the moral of the story. Ding Pu is surrounded by death and tries to kill the cockroach. But he doesn’t allow these deadly sins to take over him, to kill the cockroach.

This story would not exist without Kate; she is one of the main characters and the protagonist of the story. Her desperate search for the truth of what happened to her sister drives the plot of the story. Her investigation leads to her kidnapping, and that results in her seeing Aiden again. Her complicated feelings for Aiden enforce the story’s internal conflict.
