People Were Disappearing From The City

The flow of this narrative may seem jumpy or disconnected and illogical to some but to others who share a similar perspective the details seem like a flood of memories. Every detail and element is timeless and independent of the others while at the same time holding a deeper connection shared with all of the others. Each detail holds a value that isn’t noticed at first by others just like each of the items she mentions holds a value to her and her family but is lost on her husband who doesn’t share the same sense of home with her.

Not everything is back to normal though. Many people moved away from the desolate town to more populated areas. Alvin Dewey never built his dream farm house. Instead, “[he] built a new house in town” (341). He did this because his wife was scared. This proves that no matter how much closure one can receive there will always be some fear left.

According to Document A, Caroline Henderson mentions how the Dust Bowl has caused people to evade the town due to the people wanting to protect their children's instead of

She goes more in depth on how she feels about the hand in the story. I feel that in this story, The Hand, the author, if would have wrote a longer version of this story, would have went into further detail about how this woman fell so deeply in love with this guy after one month. “Too excited also, and often surprised by her new state. It had been only two weeks since she had began to live the scandalous life of a newlywed who tastes the joys of living with someone unknown and with whom she is in love. To meet a handsome, blond young man, recently widowed, good at tennis and rowing, to marry him a month later: her conjugal adventure had been little more than a kidnapping.” (181.) The author, at this point, would have shared with us what this stranger said, or has done to the woman to make her fall so deeply in love with him. Another thing that was missing is how she is just becoming aware of the features of his hand. “And I've kissed that hand!...How horrible! Haven't I ever looked at it?" (183.) In an extensive version of the story, the author would tell why she all of a sudden notices his flaws. Moreover, the author mite add her past relationship and how she adapted to the last man she was with.

“The people came out of their houses and smelled the hot stinging air and covered their noses from it. And the children came out of the houses, but they did not run or shout as they would have done after a rain” (3). This is a perfect description of the setting. It contains the hopelessness that people felt during that

The story takes place around New York, a plethora of generations after a fatal war came around, which desolated civilizations. A reason that contributes to why the author chose NY is because it is an urban place and it has numerous advancements. A tribe inhabited a countryside west of a river (the Hudson River or Ou-dis-sun as referred to in the narrative). Life for people was certainly straightforward and simple, this was because the war caused civilizations to lose grasp of valuable and essential knowledge

Adsila started running after her but was caught by the strong arms of one of the adults. She started screaming and crying after her mother, but her mother never looked back. Falling down on her knees devastated that if this doesn’t end well she would possibly lose both of her parents. Minutes turned into hours and the sun was now high above her in the sky when she heard other strange voices she had never heard before. Then Adsila had then noticed that the town had gone completely quiet. No birds sung their song, no deer, squirrels or chipmunks rustling by the bushes, no one from the village was talking. In the distance she heard a noise that was never heard before, the voices were becoming louder. Adsila had dropped down under some bushes hoping that she wouldn’t be seen by the source of the strange noises. Slowly she crept down towards the voices, trying to get a better look. Strangely dressed men came around the corner of one of the cabins. They had different clothing on compared to them. They had long pants with weird jackets that had some shiny material on them. These men also had some sort of bag on their shoulders with a weird looking stick that hung on a strap resting on their shoulder. They also had some

The ruins is more of a correct term. From where they were it was just piles of rubble. Most of the roads were completely destroyed. Shells of cars were everywhere. They weren’t even there yet and the damage was so bad.The chances for survivors were minuscule. The chances they would come out without some sort of serious damage even more so. Quietly Montag spoke to himself, mumbling what had happened to Millie and everyone else that was just there, a few days ago. “Looks like you weren’t the only one that gave this city ashes Montag.” Granger jokes. “It seems i’m not the only one. Everything is gone.” Montag said shallowly. Even though this city was the same city that tried to kill him. It was all he knew. They would begin the search tomorrow. They were doubtful, yet they knew that if there were survivors, they would be needed more than ever. They sat and talked outside the city till dusk. Quietly they all settled down by a fire. They turned on the little screen to watch and see the reaction of the nation. “War has begun! Cites are being bombed left and right. So far Detroit, New York, Chicago, San Francisco, and New Orleans have fallen victim to these attacks! Never fear

Now things are different. The remnants of grass are dry brown patches, mostly dirt. Where there was once a playground, there is now a shooting. The bricks are now worn and tattered. The windows are either translucent or broken. And the walls are no longer white, rather a dull, yellowish color. Worst of all, instead of joining boys and girls clubs, the adolescents joined gangs.

Janie’s first dream was dead, so she became a woman (24). Janie’s marriage with Logan diminishes her idea of a loving and romantic relationship. Janie spends a little over a year with Logan under miserable conditions, until she marries Joe Starks not long after. Mr. and Mrs. Starks move to a new town where they meet friendly townspeople. Not long after, Joe

Almost like her parents didn’t even know who she was anymore. The narrator thought that “sleeping with someone was perfectly normal once you had done it” and afterward, “you didn’t really worry about it” (418), but there were always more things to worry about then just the sex. “It was different for a girl” than a guy with how many your body count was. (417) For a guy, “the more girls a boy has, the better”, but “for a girl, each boy it’s as though a petal gets plucked each time.” (419) This quote represents most of the story because she is saying as she goes on the story that she isn’t herself anymore, nor feels like

The village has grown into a much bigger area. New houses occupy the places where the ones from his time stood. There is a new, fancy Yankee hotel in the spot where the Dutch Inn was located. Along with the town itself, all of the people have changed. They are no longer the calm townspeople

and he was thirty-two. It was also interesting how she found herself drawn to someone who wanted her as ‘arm candy’ or the ‘trophy wife’. I could see how with her history that filling that role would make her feel better about
