Forget Cats And Dogs Short Story

In the dark playroom, he opens the closet and, with a loud clatter, sweeps whatever toys and games lie on top of the square metal trapdoor… Crash! Glass smashes somewhere in the house. “What’s happening?” Sparky wails.” I share an experience similar to this when super storm Sandy hit the East Coast in 2012 and we had to take shelter in the basement of our house. Although it was not as serious a nuclear attack, our family still panicked when we heard the news forecast. Just like the families in the bomb shelter, we had to gather food and water and sleep in the basement to be protected from any possible flying debris. Similar to Scott’s questions, we did not know what would happen to the houses and beaches during the hurricane. Will the streets be completely flooded? Will the town be destroyed? What will happen to all the trees? Will everyone survive? When we finally heard over the radio that the storm was over, we looked outside to see the damage from the floods and high winds. A few houses were destroyed by trees while streets were blocked off by branches and electric power lines. When Scott was able to get out of the bomb shelter, he couldn’t believe his

There was bright lightening. They looked up, frightened. Above them black furious clouds started to gather. They began to run. Then the thunder roared, and the rain came down in torrents. <<

In my mind, I often try to place myself in the shoes of the people that went through the storm. It scares me so much, and even more so if I had to go through it with my child. As with Lydia in her story, I would probably try to keep calm and think logically. Panicking would just cause emotions to

I was in my reading circle group. This is something that everyone had , we were at a huge school, so we were all in different rooms with our reading groups for that time. The window was open, which let in a small breeze, that was also combined with the sound of a thunderstorm in the distance. I was and still am terrified of storms, but I can control this fear of loud noises at school, so I was calm. A huge breeze suddenly came in but we thought nothing of it. We were reading Junie B. is

My mom, Kailli and I were spending our first week of summer in the hot dry sun of Palm Desert. As we were planning out our agenda for the next day, we came across a brochure for the Taquitz falls three miles deep into the hot Palm springs desert. We had to see it with our own eyes to believe it. A waterfall in the middle of the desert seemed bizarre, so the next morning we set off for our hike at six in the morning. After a couple bumps in the road we finally began our hike

Before I moved to Canton, I lived in Wethersfield CT. One day during late summer when I was around 6 years old there was a bad thunderstorm. It ended up turning into a storm with tornadoes. My dad was in the middle of mowing the lawn and suddenly came inside, which is unusual because he likes to finish what he starts. When he came in he said that the sky didn't look right. My mom stood near the stove making chicken salad sandwiches with a worried look on her face.

Our room had a balcony that overlooked a small piece of nature, and as I looked down, I saw something small and furry in the grass. It was averaged sized for its species and had the furriest little tail ever. I walked around, calmly looking for something to eat, preferably a rodent. I got the rest of my family to see a cat we named it Biscotty the

I realized the  BABY HAD BEANS!!!! The dog dropped on it’s side. It stunk so much. Then

Tittle:When I went to Flagstaff:My tio told my mom when we were going to Flagstaff.Then the day came we got are stuff ready. First,we stop to get gas then,we went to go pick up my tia's and my cousin.When we were almost there it was raining really hard.We stopped to get food and to go to the restroom. We were driving in a zigzag road it was hard for my tio.

When I was nine years old, we were driving back from Wisconsin when we noticed that the sky was very dark. It was only 3pm so we were a little confused. A little while later my mother turned on the radio, the reporter announced that there was a tornado in the area that we were driving through. I was sitting in the back seat and i turned around only to see a tornado in the distance. My mother, who was in the driver's seat, began driving faster.

I feel the intent of this story is to show conformity. In the very beginning the author mentions “dogs”; and to contrast my theory here is a statement from the story “ These dogs lacked the wheedling complicity of their tamed brother” (Benioff, David.”The devil comes to orekhavo”when the nines roll over. New York: Pengnin,2004.) . The meaning I get from this is that the soldiers leski is around are “untamed”. They don't think like he does, they no longer respect moral and ethical laws, they have reached the point of we have to do whatever it takes to stay alive. The story also mentions one of the dogs having a collar, and leski felt the others made fun of her for it. Which is very similar to the action that took place with Liski and his helmet.

At first it was normal. At least as normal as it could have been with a giant, crazy, hurricane in our neighborhood. We were all inside doing our normal things as if it were a perfectly normal night, even though that night was a scary one indeed. But then we heard our garage door shuddering because of how violent the winds were.

It was the summer of ’95 and one day I woke up and felt really sick. I lived alone ever since the passing of my dear husband, John, since I lived alone I needed someone to take care of me just in case something really horrible went wrong! Well anyway, I had called my daughter that morning and she sent little red riding hood on an adventure to get to my house to spend the night. About 45 minutes later I heard a loud knock on the door, being the curious

My first dog was named Toby, he was a very white, ball of fluff. He blended in with the shiny white crispy snow on December 25, 2006. My sisters and I were on our way home from my dad’s house when all of a sudden we pulled into my mom’s house. On Sunday, December 25, 2006, Toby was waiting at our house. We all got out of the car on that cold snowy day and walked on the slippery sidewalk. The snow was like a chilling carpet on the bottoms of our feet. My mom opened the door with a camera so my sisters and I knew something was up. A shocking step in the house and we saw a very fluffy dog, we were very excited. He was like a deer in headlights. There was a bunch of screaming and yelling going on at that moment between the three of us. We
