Short Story Examination Day By Henry Seslar

Through the years, many citizens have worked to maintain the museum. In 2012, the Drumright Historical Society began work to bring the story of The Negro American Series back to the public. At first, they began to share the story with their own city through museum exhibits, speeches to civic groups and their local newspaper. Next, they began to share with the State of Oklahoma through organizations such as the Oklahoma Cultural Heritage Trust, the Oklahoma Museum Association and the Oklahoma Historical

This story kicks off with a group of three girls and three boys on a bus. They were headed to Ft. Lauderdale when one of the girls noticed a man sitting on the bus alone. She became curious and approached the man and began conversing with him. His name was Vingo and he was on his way home. He had been in prison and now journeys home after 4 years of hard time. He had a wife before going to jail and wondered if she still wished to be with him after so long of no contact. He had attempted to contact her via hand-written letters, but she never wrote him back. When he found out he was getting out, he wrote her one last time. In the letter, he requested if she wanted to still be with him, to simply place a yellow handkerchief onto the famous

The story I have chosen to discuss is Rick Moody, “Boys”. This is a traditional coming of age story. The great thing about how Rick Moody story is how he takes several small paragraphs to explain a large amount of time. A good example of this is when he condenses the two twin brothers’ thirty years experiences into one paragraph. The whole story is seen through the eyes of the boys in their childhood home. This story follows the two brothers through many changes throughout their lives, to the illness and death of their younger sister and father. The twin brothers are supposed to be living a carefree childhood running, playing, and being a child but they are thrust into situations that children don’t usually have to deal with at their age.

After the announcement, my sister and I decided to head upstairs and prepare for the next school day, for the meeting had ceased. As time flew by, I never bothered paying attention to the looming figure known as the ceremony date. My actions were justified, for I was too busy defeating such complex beasts known only as homework. Suddenly, the date finally caught up to me, as soon as my mother exclaimed, “Come on guys, it’s time to go to the ceremony.” I complied with a simple reply, the reply being, “Yes mother, I’ll be there in a

Hi, my name is Deven Ramos. I am a student at Southeast Whitfield High School. I am currently taking a early childhood class; as part of my grade I am required to observe either a daycare or elementary school. I'm wondering if I would be able to do so on October 10th and on either one of the following days in the month of November; 21,22, or the 23.

August 13th, 1814: It was terrible.. I woke up today with my parents screaming, yelling at me to run out of there, to not look back. So I grabbed my journal and darted out of there, but.. my parents didn’t.. there was a fire, started from the house right next to us and it spread like a wildfire, burning down everything near it. It seemed I was the only one to make it, everyone that I grew up with.. gone. Except Henry, my best friend.. he made it out too, although not in very good shape. I bought him some bread with the small amount of money I had leftover, and it seemed to help ever so slightly.

The subject of the experiment calls himself John Smith because he believes that the most generic name is the most perfect. After the extensive study of the subject’s (John Smith) everyday life, one can deduce that Mr. Smith’s schedule is predetermined by himself the past night. His schedule tends to consist of similar events in each time block. Mr. Smith wakes up at the break of dawn in his brownstone in the Brooklyn Heights area. Being the nemophilist that he is, his bedroom window is usually left open for the petrichor that is left after the morning dew to fill the bedroom with a pleasant scent. This scent acts as a substitute for John’s coffee and with a hearty breakfast, John will begin his day of various activities. After his usual 20-mile

The day right from the start seemed like a good day so I went about smiling and walked blissfully to my normal seat next to my friends. We prepared for the coming classes that day. The deafening bell sounded and we were on our way to start the actual day. My classmates and I walked joyfully through the hallways, joking and laughing before reaching our first period destination. I made my way to the front of the classroom and sat down. The air was crisp so I took out my jacket and put it on. Our teacher walked in a few minutes late and started to take attendance. The whole classroom focused on him. After he finished taking attendance, he slowly reached down into a drawer and pulled out a stack of papers. I stared in disbelief. The stack of papers he pulled out was actually a pop-test. I took the pop-test trying to recall everything that we had learned over the course of two weeks. I focused on the test for most of the class period and finally turned it in. The morning weather seemed to just be a ruse. This was not a blissful or good day; it took a turn for the worst. I sat there in the chilling room trying to think of something else to keep
