R5 and their families thought it would be a great idea to take a vacation by a lake so they took a few weeks off. Ellington and Rydel were playing on the dock when Rydel playfully pushed him into the water. He popped back up after awhile then decided Rydel deserved pay back so he threw her in despite her screams. She fell in and her lungs started filling up with water while she tried keeping herself afloat. After a minute of laughing, Ellington suddenly remembered that she couldn't swim and jumped in but with his luck her body had already hit the bottom of the lake. He tried his best to swim her body to the top in hopes of saving her, but it was already too late. Riker found Ellington sitting on the dock, eyes bloodshot and face pale as
She knew if she could cross the River, her chances of escape would be greatly increased. Trying to find shelter from the cold, she decided to take her chances with her son, and explore a nearby cabin, where she was provided with somewhere to live and food by a sympathetic White man. After being there for a while she heard the noise of dogs, she knew that they were coming after her and her little boy. She grabbed her child and ran to the river, with the dogs and slave catchers close behind, in desperation and anticipatory,she went onto the broken ice and jumped from iceberg, to iceberg until she reached the other side. Out of nowhere came a hand that pulled her up from the freezing water. The helping hand was Chance Shaw, one of the Ohio Patrol Officers. Chance Shaw helped her to her feet stating, "any woman who crossed that river carrying her baby has won her freedom." He then showed her to the residence of John
After Robert proposes a swim, everyone is ready to follow him, but he lingers at the rear of the crowd with the two lovers. The Pontelliers and Ratignolles walk ahead, and Mrs. Pontellier wonders why Robert sometimes chooses not to spend every waking minute with her. She misses him whenever he's not there. The walk to the beach provides a lot of sensory stimulation: people are singing; the sea, earth, and flowers each gives off a pungent smell; and the seascape appears calm and mystical. Mrs. Pontellier, who has been trying to learn how to swim the entire summer, suddenly and miraculously begins to swim through the ocean, much to the surprise of her companions. Feeling strong and exuberant, she swims out alone and suddenly panics. When she
“The Soc caught my arm and twisted it behind my back, and shoved my face into the fountain. I fought, but the hand at the back of my neck was strong, and I had to hold my breath. I’m dying, I thought, and wondered what was happening to Johnny. I couldn’t hold my breath any longer. I fought again desperately, but only sucked in water.
She started to lose hope of the water ever returning, but she soon made the best out of the situation.
Triss Crescent wakes up, sick, in her family’s vacation house. She is told by her parents that she had gone out last night and come back soaking wet. They thought she may have fallen into the nearby lake. Though her parents continue to press her, she can’t seem to remember how she fell in and the other events of the night before.
December 28th I traveled from Hudson to Acton hopped on a train from the South Action rail road station, traveled on this train 47 minutes to the TD garden, ate pizza at a quaint incredibly noisy, overcrowded Italian pizza joint 75 feet from the Garden then for the first time in my life
One day she heard the bell go off to tell molecules to get to the middle of the lake. When she heard that she dropped everything and went there in hopes of going to the clouds. She waited for hours, but nothing happened. She finally gave up.
I would like to be the small stuffed animal that my friends and I purchased while attending a recent creative writing camp. My classmates, who hail from different cities all over the country, named the toy Oscar, and we vowed to mail him to each other in celebration of each person’s birthday. Oscar will venture to various states and will even accompany my friends on vacations in different countries. I am eager to travel broadly and meet many new people, just like Oscar.
While horsing around on the dock, Kristi deliberately shoved Chin into Jill, causing Jill to fall into the water. Jill landed awkwardly and sank to the bottom of the lake. Chin then pushed Kristi back, ignoring Jill’s plight (she was drowning). Hannah, a bystander and also an expert swimmer, glared at Kristi but took no other action. Abe confronted the group, demanding that
In your poem, “The Vacation,” it is clear who the main characters are in terms of the mother, father and the daughter. We can assume that the mother is a loving caring mother who overtime got physically and mentally abused by the husband. We can also assume that the father is an alcoholic from the line that says “Last night he was drinking something that made him smell like medicine.” We know that the main character is a little girl but we don’t know how old she is or anything about her. In my opinion, I would like to know more about the character in terms of age and a description of what she looks like.
Thoughts of drowning run rampant in every man’s mind on that boat. At dawn, the men decided that their only chance is to row toward the distant shore again and swim when the boat finally capsizes.
It is not until the girl is drowning that she recognizes the intensity and capability of nature. Ron Rash’s use of plot and symbolism is apparent in his presentation of the drowned girl’s revelation after death, which is in accordance with the theme of the story. The girl feels as though she is invincible, a very human frame of mind. As she wades deeper into the river, she ignores the surging current. Even after she is first pulled downstream, she feels that she is in control and will be fine. The events are recounted, saying, “She is being shoved downstream by the current and she does not panic because she passed the Red Cross Courses” (44 Rash). Humans tend to believe that they are in constant authority and cannot be taken down by anything, not even nature. This plot point displays that the drowning girl is no different. She is completely oblivious to the peril she is facing. It is not until the girl is drowned that she understands the mystery and strength of
Summer's hazel eyes glistened as she talked. Every time she would move her head, her perfect golden curls would move with it. Her smile was wide and her teeth were straight, which always amazed me, because she's the only 4th grader I knew with teeth like that. She was ranting about an episode of "SpongeBob SquarePants", and how much she disliked Squidward. She would never say she hated Squidward, because hate is too strong of a word for her. Now that I think about it, Summer was the perfect name for her. Summer walked, talked, and laughed without caring about how she may look to others. Summer was the type of person to dance in the rain, and her cheeks were a non-stop red and her eyes never stopped shining.
The gang slid in the water smoothly. Susan was the last to go. For half an hour all they showed on T.V. were the choppy waters getting choppier, the greyed sky becoming gloomier, and the reporter’s hair whipping around her face as she screeched through the mike competing fiercely with the howling wind.
The only sound that filled my ears was my keyboard clicking as my fingers raced across it. I had been procrastinating from finishing this assignment all evening, but I knew I needed to get it done. The burning sunset was shining through the windows as I was finishing up. It was a peaceful silence, until I heard the soft whispers of my parents that ignited my sense of curiosity. I was concentrating hard; doing my best trying to make out the hushed words that were being spoken.
