Morticia Addams: A Narrative Fiction

These words make this lady seem very real. Even the details describing her the edges of her sleeves and skirt was fascinating. The passage includes a gray stone with holes in it. This gives the reader the impression that someone has died, from the previous incident with Tuscalusa and Grandmother’s stone.

Who is Jane Addams? That’s a question that a lot of us probably are unable to answer. Well for one she is recognized as the founder of the social work. And two she was one of the probably two or three most famous women in the United States, along with being one of the most beloved Americans in the world. She is quite an interesting person with plenty of accomplishments ranging from publishing eleven books and hundred of articles on important topics to being the first woman to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

Born as Laura Jane Addams also known as Jane Addams and the “mother” of the social work profession, Jane Addams was born in 1860 in Cedarville, Illinois as the youngest of eight and the child of a U.S State Senator John Addams. Diagnosed with congenital spinal defect, Addams was not considered the physically outgoing child.

Jane Addams is the most wonderful person I know. We grew up together in Chicago. She was my neighbor and my friend. An amazing person to have the priviledge of knowing, me and Jane met under the worst circumstances. We had never spoke to one another until my family heard that her mother had passed away. Jane's father told my father the horrible news one night after we had just finished dinner. I remember looking at my mother and feeling so grateful that she was my mother. I hugged her a little tighter before bed that night. The next day I went over to Jane's house to express my sympathies for her loss. From that point on, we developed a friendship that could move the stars.

The waters of this world are sort of an inverted outer space we are overwhelmed with. It's atrociously alluring with its immensity and we are often confused, conflicted, caged in her haven . How the black water of the nightly ocean pleas provocatively for a tragedy; how the sun drenched evening sea begs to wetly kiss our mortal skins. The romanticism that there is only an individual reality - that our reality isn't some chaos of virtualalities, that time is imprisoned in one religious boringness is laughed at by the godliness of the waters. She knows we fall into, bleed over each other, gripping and tearing skin all through our breaths. Not just the human: but the ants, the flies, the maggots, the

Jane Addams, a pioneering social worker, helped bring attention to the possibility of revolutionizing America’s attitude toward the poor. Not only does she remain a rich source of provocative social theory to this day, her accomplishments affected the philosophical, sociological, and political thought. Addams was an activist of courage and a thinker of originality. Jane Addams embodied the purest moral standards of society which were best demonstrated by her founding of the Hull-House and her societal contributions, culminating with the winning of the 1931 Nobel Peace Prize.

I sat there in confusion as to what had just happened, when I was pleasantly greeted with five people who saw it all go down. I reluctantly shrugged it off, and we continued our journey, yet again.. We began to walk up a dirt trail up to the part of the park where you see all of Franklin. In my opinion, it is the most beautiful spot there, where I could spend this special afternoon with my favorite people. As we stood on the balcony, overlooking the scenery, Laura, was the next one to have an incident with the soccer ball. I looked away for one second and back again to realize that she had thrown the ball in the air, let it bounce, and continued to follow it with her eyes, and arms, as it went over the ledge. Everyone stood there, again in awe, laughing at the fact we had lost the ball, again. Payton and I traveled underneath the balcony, trying to pinpoint where the ball was, with the people above, directing us in the right way. Minutes went by of trying to maneuver our way through the rocks, and steps to get it, when all a sudden, we were all graced with the high pitched sound of Payton, who had just been greeted with the feeling of stepping on a

There was no noise whatsoever. “What’s going on?” Juana queryly. She subsequently peeked outside and it looked normal to her. Juana remembered what happened last night. She walked slowly to the glowing light. Her eyes widen, she gasped and covered her mouth. What Juana was staring at was a gargantuan pearl. She softly announced, “A Pearl!?!?! Where did this come from?” And right beside it was a small, wrinkled note saying, “Juana, I got this pearl when I went diving into the ocean. Many people found out I had discovered the Pearl of the World. They started to attack me because I had the pearl and wanted it for themselves. Well then I, I kinda...well um killed two men. I’m sorry Juana, I really am sorry. So, I ran far away from this village as far as possible. I cannot tell you where I’m heading but all I can say, you and Coyotito are safe. They are now after me. I love you Juana!”

Juno’s use of characterization is much more effective in creating a believable sixteen year old protagonist. In comparison to Romeo and Juliet, the characters of Juno are much deeper and further developed. This is evident through most lines of Juno’s dialogue, where offbeat sense of humour is consistently used as part of her character. Certain features of her personality are also emphazised to even further develop her character. For instance, Juno’s character frequently stresses a general acknologement of her not being the “average girl”.

Have you ever seen or thought of an ongoing problem and wanted to do something about it. Well Jane Addams did that, she took action in a problem at a very young age. She saw all the poor and the less fortunate and helped them. Through the hardships, life in the fast lane, and medical issues, she helped many people start their lives all over. So, how did Jane Addams go from a life of privilege to a life of servitude?

Like a glint from a reflective light, she tore through the door out onto the wide opened plain. Her legs now a blur seemed to outrun the wind as she kicked up a trail of dust behind her. Like the meaning of her name, she raced with the gracefulness

Throughout modern history there have been certain characters that personify the very essence of Goth, for instance Theda Bara [1885-1995], Mortica Addams in the 1960s TV series The Addams Family, Italian heiress Marchesa Luisa Casati [1881-1957], to more recent iconic Goths like Helena Bonham Carter and maverick dresser Daphne McGuinness, which has helped inspire individuals and the movement, to create their own persona and sense of the gothic style. The Goth subculture can be broadly divided into various subsets which have there own unique characteristics for instance Cyber Goth, Gothic Lolita and Fetish Goth. In the early days of the movement in the 1980s and 1990s, the Goth subculture fashion drawing heavily on the early fetish, bondage and S&M style for example straps, buckles, zips, waistcoats, frock coats, corsets, gowns, thigh-high stiletto boots and hairstyles like backcombing and the Deathawk, take some influence from the punk movement. Ian Astbury 1997 describes the early fashion characteristics for the beginning of the Goth culture in the eighties and nineties; “For the male ... black spiky hair and a black leather jacket. For the women ... black fishnets, black leather thigh high boots ... dark makeup and the big black spiky hair” (History of Goth:2016). The traditional materials for the Gothic style includes lace, brocade, leather, velvet, however modern Goths within the various subsets have created new materials such as rubber and PVC to create their own version of the aesthetics. It could be said Gothic punks like Siouxsie Sioux, Joy Dividson, Peter Murphy, Sid Vicious and bands from the eighties and nineties

I fell into the depths of Maya’s beautiful green eyes and not even the currently setting sun could compare to their beauty. She pressed once more against the rusted iron gate that separated us, pushed it closed and once again took away my opportunity of joining my family, and let a pained cry of sadness escape her lips before turning into the shadows and dissolving into the darkness. Then the scene carried on as it had before as if Maya had been only an apparition. The crickets resumed their songs and when the frogs in the nearby creek began the harmony, I knew I was alone. The loneliness crept upon me like the cold of a moonless night. I stood and retraced the steps I had already taken earlier, that then had seemed to be nothing but magical when they led me to my wife, but now as they led me passed the unknown dilapidated shack that served as a safe haven for my wife and I and along the overgrown dirt roads of Eucalyptus, my steps seemed to lead me to my death.

Jacob led me up a trail following the edge of a brook. The rippling water carrying rocks flowing downward along the trail’s edge helped to calm my nerves. Still, the thought of climbing up the steep rim of a mountain made my stomach weak.

Hi, did you know that I knew Jane Addams? I did, and she was a very inspirational person. She did lots of good things in her life time. Jane Addams first opened Hull House in Chicago in 1889. She opened it because she new it would be a good thing for not only the people in Chicago but all over the world. At Hull House she provided a vital service to a community that was generally neglected. In the early days of Hull House Jane Addams and her friend Ellen Gates were just planing on teaching art and literary classes. But when neighborhood residents requested that Hull House expand its offerings her and her friend started teaching classes like English, along with practical skills.
