Short Story: Cowboy

There is injustice in the world everyday and all too often, many bad things happen to good people. In Saki’s short story, “The Storyteller”, the theme that the world isn’t just black and white is shown through his use of symbolism, foreshadowing, and irony. Saki’s use of symbolism is demonstrated through his use of the the color black and white. In the story, ‘black’ represents evil in the world along with death and depression. For example, the colors of the wolf help us explain this symbol of color and that he was a bad wolf. For example, Saki states that the wolf was “mud color all over, with a black tongue and pale gray eyes that gleamed with unspeakable ferocity.” The color white resembles the innocence, purity, and goodness in the story. This is Bertha's dress that she is wearing walking with the medals. For example, Saki says “her pinafore was so spotless white and clean that it could be seen for a great distance. The bachelor uses this color to help the kids' picture what he is talking about and give them a visual note. The theme helps us realize about how there is injustice in this world. For example, Bertha is a good person and she has all these medals for being so “horribly good.” When Bertha is invited the the princes park because of how good she is, she dies by a wolf because of her white dress being so white the wolf saw her first instead of the little pigs. Because of Bertha’s “white” innocence, she is killed by the evil, dark wolf, showing the reader the

To sum it up, Ronald wins at life, he has friends , he’s cool, and he beats Tyrone every year. “But, this year would be different” Tyrone thought with a evil smirk on his face, “I have a plan”. Interrupting Tyrone’s mastermind plot was Ronald’s laugh, making him remember how lonely he was, but nevermind that. It was time to start.

The event thta im writing about took place in the late 1960’s into the early 1970’s.Alot of things were going on in america in these years like how the 60’s were dominated by the vietnam war and the civil rights protests. The 60’s also saw the assasination of president John F Kennedy and Martin LUther king. But ended ona good note when the first man landed on the moon. The 1960’s is way different from today I guess you can say because back in the 1960’s not everyone had the same rights. Like back then the racist opion was very prevelent but today there is hardly any signs of racism exept a few and is full of diversity. Another different thing is back in the 60’s technology was still new like tv’s and computers not much people had them and now a days almost every American family has one.

"Yes, I do!" Dad shouts back. I barge into the room to see mom with blood coming from her temple and nose, along with sprinkled on her delicate features. He raises his hand just as I push him away from mom. His eyes turn into an icy glare and his face flushes red with rage. Dad pushes past me as he pins mom to the floor and raises his fist but pauses.

She surveyed her kingdom. A kingdom of concrete and grey, but as far as she was concerned it might as well have been made of gold. The shine of the windows towering up above were her diamonds, and the taxis driving by were her limousines. Her black raw denim jeans, fitted t-shirt, and sneakers were her ball gown and crystal shoes. She has a quality about her that anybody who crossed her path could see. Her blue eyes reflect the silver city and her smile could make you feel warm on even the coldest of New York winter mornings.

You growled and lashed out at the boy who stood in front of you with a knife wielded in their hand. The person simply dodged and kicked in the back of your legs,making you fall back onto the muddy grass that you were training on.
