Mcentire Three Things

Southern family preparing to go on what seems to be a typical vacation. The story is humorous at first because the reader is unaware of how the story will end. The tone changes dramatically from amusing to frightening and plays an important part in making the story effective.

When it was time to celebrate, they knocked in the barrel head and threw the fuel on the fire. The flames shot into the sky. The next bucket of “fuel” put the fire out! The fellows in town, angry that the bonfire was a failure, decided to gather up the old-fashioned outhouses for a real blaze!

A steam boat passed along the river, and made a deal with Tobias for a f w cents per pound for some fresh meat and hide. He said he would be back in a few days if he had anything by then. They managed to kill themselves a alligator; inches away from getting a leg or arm bitten off in the process.

The alligator got ahold of Bud’s foot which then went up to his body then ate him whole. Bud’s family wanted him to come over for thanksgiving, but they couldn’t get ahold of him so then they went to his house and couldn’t find him there, they called his work and they said ‘’he called in and said that there was a family problem’’. Then his family called the cops, the cops came out and they took a missing file report, and said they would send out to the world to look out for him and if you see him please call the cops. A month has passed and no one has seen Bud. This little boy was walking and saw a bag,shoes,water bottles, and a hat all laying on the ground like someone has been there or they live there. He walks down to where he thinks all this evidence is leading to, he then finds blood that has been there for awhile down in a sewer and he finds bones laying everywhere. He calls the police and then police told him to get out of there because they said that’s a very dangerous place for him to be at. The police showed, up and took all the bones and evidence to headquarters to see what they could find out. It took weeks to find who these bones belonged to, which then

This family comes together in a time when they all need it. Phillip at one point tells Judd he’s on his side and has his back no what the situation is. Then every time Judd and Wendy meet on the roof to talk they are creating a turning point during a bad time. It can be see that each brother, sister, brother, brother, and/or mother, child moment is a growing point where something/someone else is thinking and acting different. The Altman family displays resilience by walking away at the end and assuring each other that they have their backs.

When they had all the cattle about 1,200 they head out on a long trip. The cattle drive was going as planned getting about 10-15 miles a day to get to a farm where they would get money for bringing the cattle. But two days in too the cattle drive there was a storm that started just with rain but started getting worse. It was so bad that the lighting and thunder made the cattle turn into a stamped. The cowboys tried to calm the cattle and keep them in a group it just wasn't working. When the storm was over they noticed that they had been missing 50 cows this was the worse thing they could ever encounter on the drive. So before going any further the 5 cowboys split up why one stays to watch the cattle. The four cowboys all came back that night with just 34 of the cows. The cowboys head on trying to find the cows again and still found nothing but in the distance there was a cliff leading to a valley. When they arrived to the valley to see where the cows were they saw nothing but 3 dead cows on the ground of that valley. When they went on there way again they saw nothing but flat land and the rest of their cattle this made the cowboys really happy that they could still get most of their cattle drive there safely. When they got to the farm the farmer gave them their money were they split between the 5 of them. Then they go to back home to see there children

We all have obstacles in life, some people are able to pass over and others fail at this point. Some people have more chances to pass these obstacles because of their abilities. But everything is possible, even when everybody thinks the opposite. In this text, I will present seabiscuit and Jason McElwain. These are people who nobody thought that they could what they did and they showed the world that everything was possible.

The story the Black duck is about the times of the alcohol prohibition in the 1920’s. There are these two boys that are walking the bank of the beach. They find a crate of alcohol and they look around to see if anyone is there. But no one is there. When they look around and by the box they see a body lying there and they realize there is a bullet hole in his neck. So they go get the cops and when they came back the body and the crate was gone and there was no blood where he lay. The police don’t believe the kids and leave them there with nobody with them. One of the boy's sister was there and the cop didn't care about the body he was too busy flirting with the sister. They go home and tell there dad and there dad says he doesn’t believe them

I, James Mchenry; was born in Ballymena,County Antrim,Ireland. I enjoyed a classical education in Dublin,Ireland. At the age of 18 is when I moved to Philadelphia I continued my schooling at “Newark Academy” which happened to be in Delaware. After that I studied under Doctor Benjamin Rush for 2 years who introduced me to the world of medicine and helped me develop my political views. During the Revolutionary war I served in the 5th Pennsylvania Battalion as a military surgeon, then briefly I was captured after the battle for Fort Washington. Luckily George Washington himself appointed me as Assistant Secretary after he took interest in me for some odd reason. Some of my political views consist of being on the Federalists side and believe in

Katrina returns home from Los Angeles to find a letter waiting for her from her brother. The letter causes Katrina to remember a time when her and her brother were small children. They lived on a farm that had an old barn with a third loft. There was a ladder that went from the floor all the way to that third loft, but it was old and the children had been warned not to play on it. One afternoon while their parents were gone, they began to play a game they had played dozens of times before. Larry and Katrina would climb to the top of the third loft and then jump down into the hay bin. Katrina went first, then Larry. Over and over they climbed and jumped.

Another lady figured the kid’s mothers knew where they were so she didn’t feel the need to intrude. With no interference from anyone the boys continued on playing around and the train began to slow down and as it was slowing down the lady who was afraid of embarrassment, saw the boys jerk forward and backward and grab the swinging guard chains. The lady then decided it was finally time to save the boys for good so she stood up determined as ever and went over to the boys and said, "You boys will be hurt. You'll be killed.

Patience. Persistence. These two words, more than any others, describe the career of Mike McGuire.

In the book The Graveyard Book, it deals with very serious things, but the author finds a way to lighten the mood. In one of the ways he does this is when the baby boy, Bod, climbs down the stairs and finds the open door and he crawls out. The baby then goes out onto the street. When the baby does this there is something missing because when the baby boy went down the stair his dipper fell off. The little bit of humor here is that this little baby boy is crawling down the street in nothing but his little night shirt because his dipper fell off. The author put this humor there to lighten up the concept that a baby escaped his house and is now crawling down the street. Another place the author adds in humor is in the graveyard. After the baby
