Jonathan Smith: A Short Story

The steam from the kettle had condensed on the cold window and was running down the glass in tear-like trickles. Outside in the orchard the man from the smudge company was refilling the posts with oil. The greasy smell from last night’s burning was still in the air. Mr. Delahanty gazed out at the bleak darkening orange grove; Mrs. Delahanty watched her husband eat, nibbling up to the edges of the toast, then staking the crusts about his tea cup in a neat fence-like arrangement.

Jonathan Edward’s Personal Narrative shows a drastic shift in religious, social relationships, from the church and sacred texts informing you about how you should act to be virtuous, to the ordinary person and traveling preacher having the religious authority that the church previously had. This shows in the lines, “I made a solemn dedication of myself to God,” and, “That my sins appear to me so great.”

Running in out of the sun, you met what seemed total obscurity inside. There were almost tangible smells – licorice recently sucked in a child’s cheek, dill pickle brine that had leaked through a paper sack in a fresh trail across the wooden floor, ammonia-loaded ice that had been hoisted from wet croker sacks and slammed in to the icebox with its sweet butter at the door, and perhaps the smell of still-untrapped mice.

On a cold, snowy day in December 1879, a Western Maryland passenger train crashed near

Dan Howell was often considered the life of the party ever since freshman year. Some people found it charming the way that he would dress, talk and party, others found it distasteful and wild. That didn't matter though, all that mattered to him at the moment was the party that he was at and the drink in his hand. Luckily they had plenty of Dan's favorite drink, willing him to stay at the party longer even when it started to fade out. Right when Dan was about to walk out, his cup in hand someone pulled him back in to play seven minutes in heaven. Not a bad group of people, he thought to himself as his eyes scanned the group of people who were playing. Dan was impressed when he saw Phil Lester sitting right across from him with a smug expression

After spending five years in prison, and living away from his family for another three, JACK SUTTON knew it was time to go home. He needed to do so. He needed to finish healing and learn to live again, instead of just existing. A fight in a bar brought GARRETT MARSDEN into his life. He was a doctor and one willing to make a discreet to the motel where Jack waited, unable to go home and needing to stay off the radar of the local authorities.

The history of Jamestown and Plymouth had a very diverse background. Captain John Smith and William Bradford were both English men, but had different hopes for the new world. Captain John Smith was in hope of getting rich while William came for freedom of religion. They had different goals but they were both looking to improve on their life and had very different views from one another.

Smith was born in 1580 to a farming family in Lincolnshire. He left home at age 16 to become a soldier, traveling to France to fight the Spanish. After his return to England, he taught himself wilderness survival techniques, and later worked on a merchant ship. In 1600, he went to Hungary to fight with the Habsburg forces against the Turks, where he was promoted to captain.

Second, “Cooper Jones” was the name that was called, I quickly gathered my stuff up and made sure that my voice changer was set to age 25. To ride a plane by yourself you couldn’t be a youngster like me and had to be at least a young adult. There were a couple of difficulties on the way like getting past security and using a fake ID. Luckily I had a built in suitcase with all my necessities just in case an emergency happened and I guess you could call what's happening right now an emergency. My plan was to take a plane and get to the Company that was doing all these human transplants and become a human. Now this was just half the battle because the thing is, the company that is doing this is kind of in another country, the UK to be exact, and

This morning was a rough one! I attempted to bring Jayden to school today, however once we reached the doors he was in tears and wouldn't go inside the building. He ended up running all the way back to the car at which point I caught up with him and he got sick...all over me. I'm assuming that this was brought on by nerves and I now feel like a horrible parent! Beginning last week Jayden had expressed several concerns to me regarding Mrs. Thill. This continued throughout the week and over the weekend. I didn't think too much of it because it was my understanding that he had just started spending time with this teacher and perhaps he needed some time to adjust to her rules and expectations. I had planned on messaging you today regarding this issue (even before the incident this morning) so we could figure out what is going on and resolve any problems.

Quentin Jacobson, a senior in high school, a pretty normal guy to his friends or a geek to everyone else. He has his group of friends who are all in band and who like to arrive to school 30 mins before it actually starts to be able to socialise, which is relatable, but since they all stay within 20 feet of the band room they don't have too many friends to socialise with. You could say Quentin’s on the shy side because he doesn’t really talk to people out of his group. Although he doesn’t mind gazing at the beautiful Margo Roth Spiegelman, who would be described as the girl who "loved mysteries so much that she became one" (Prologue.35) and the girl who he is “secretly” in love with. She is an odd one, mysterious, full of energy, edgy, and very

It was a normal Tuesday morning. Jordan Adams was a 26 year old man who lived in New York City and he was on his way to his train in the Subway. He was wearing his suit and had his bag of papers to present to his company. He wanted to propose his book ideas and to soon write them. Jordan checked the train arrival times and saw that his train should be there in five minutes. The train came to the station and people started to come out.
