Summary Of ' Were You Just A Distant Fantasy?

1. Throughout the story suspense is aroused and maintained excellently. This is achieved by the character the author creates. Mr. Martin is characterized as a neat and cautious man, who never took a smoke or a drink in his life. Our suspense is aroused when the author states that it has been “a week to the day since Mr. Martin had decided to rub out Mrs. Ulgine Barrows”.

“ The collection clip-clopping of horseshoes against the gravel synched with the rhythm of Massie’s heart-beating delivering a hint of harmony to a situation that had been stressing her out for days she took, deep cleansing breaths intthroughthenose…. aaaand…outthroughthemouth”(Harrison 8). In the book so far, Massie and her friends are at a horseback riding camp. There is a competition for jumping and Massie put leather glue on her saddle, which is against the rules. Massie got kicked out of the camp. In this journal I will be predicting and some visualizing things in the book.

Beautiful name,” I scratch the back of my neck and clear my throat. “Well, um, you see, Miss Davis, you are a very,” I clear my throat again, though it is perfectly open. Seamus needs to stall, not me. “A very...attractive woman, and when we met in the train station, though it was brief, well, I’ll put it this way. Skylar-Miss Davis, do you believe in destiny? Coincidental meetings that change your life? That one moment when the wind blows in just the right place and at the perfect force, the paper is being held just loosely enough, the what if and the why decide to move two people together and the elements converge to connect them?” Her face has

Both Raymond Carver’s “Signals” and Malie Meloy’s “Ranch Girl” display intense and emotional instances driven from a relationship. “Signals” exemplifies the tense relationship between old lovers with problems communicating. ”Ranch Girl” demonstrates an underlying relationship between young people, where communication is also lacking. The two stories are mysterious, explaining contained poignant instances while leaving the reader feeling a bit confused by what will happen after the end. However, the stories differ in terms of depth and difference in relationship, as well as a dissimilarity in point of view. “Ranch Girl,” is told from a second person point of view, explaining different instances that come together over time. Whereas

The alarm clock blares on the tattered brown nightstand next to the bed. It is the only part of Casey Barclay’s day that is predictable. She opens her eyes and groans at the thought of what the day will hold. She hears her twins, Alexander and Abigail in the next room. They are eight, and already fighting over whose turn it is to hold the IPad, even though it’s only 6 a.m. She reaches over and turns the alarm clock off, her diamond engagement ring catches her eye as it does a little dance, sparkling in the sunlight. It is the most expensive thing in all of her house. It is also only the second thing that has given her hope in the nine years since the factory left, and it’s hard to have that after her last marriage failed so miserably. She

The book that I am reading is called Dr. J, and the author's purpose is to show you things in his life that happened from his childhood leading all the way up to his career. One example of this in the book is when he talks about how he broke his leg, and he had to get surgery done and there was a spring put into Julius's leg as an adolescent. This connects the statement I made before because he's telling us about a significant thing that happened in his childhood, which made him believe that he would never be able to dunk or jump again. Another example of the author's purpose is when he talks about the college that he went to, and how there were many girls that were attracted to him because of what he was and not who he was. This connects the

There was not a single moment in which I became bored with it. She grabbed my attention instantaneously, a picture of what was occurring painted in my mind from the very first sentence when, “Jillian Grey anxiously searched the crowd, hoping to catch a glimpse of the man that she would begin her new life with.” While reading the novel, I found myself experiencing numerous emotions. At times, I was thoroughly happy. At others, I was angry or upset.

The novel’s plot stays true to its title as the story somewhat reminds readers to “seize the day” when it comes to loves. Julia Evans, a classy Southerner author, meets

It had not seemed this bright since he first laid eyes on Anna’s mother twenty years ago. He loved her the moment he laid eyes on her. She, unfortunately, loved John. If things had only been different, but they weren’t. Stephen continued drinking the scotch as he reminisced about Emily Wellington, the love of his life, although so unrequited. He thought of her long flowing blonde hair and her innocent blue eyes. Why hadn’t she been wearing her seat belt the day of the accident? Emily always wore a seat belt. A tear began to stream down Stephen’s cheek as the thought of the possibilities that would never be, not now. Anna crossed his mind for a moment. Since she looked just like her father, Stephen’s thoughts quickly returned to Emily. As the bottle of scotch neared the bottom, Stephen’s guilt of Emily’s death urged him to apologize to her. He took some stationary from the old oak wood desk’s top drawer and began to pen a letter to Emily. He explained all the details of his horrific plan in detail, the payoff, the cut brake lines, his hope of her surviving the crash and eventually marrying

As Mr. Player read this aloud, I envisioned the poem as dialogue of three speakers. In her

“I’ve done it before. Never underestimate my ability to procrastinate.” I suddenly looked up from the beloved book in my hand as the words all melted together. The slightest bump in the road felt like a gigantic earthquake within every vehicle, especially Jennifer’s, who I was trapped with right now. The car’s stereo was softly humming calm, almost stress relieving music. Every once in awhile her crimson nails would tap the steering wheel making me agitated.

Kyungsoo says that he works at the neighboring toy factory from nine to five, gluing little shiny little marble eyes onto stuffed cartoon characters. A breath of artificiality for the sparkle of life. The job is purely for financial support, albeit Kyungsoo thinks that he might have grown attached to his coworkers and the plushness of the toys, the soft fabrics, the forever cheerful smiles. The job makes just enough for rent and necessities. Still, it’s alright because seven o’clock fixes everything. At seven, he heads for the bar to nurse transient melodies from his soul. Technically the hour is about demurely collecting change under drunken chaos, but for Kyungsoo, it’s about molding words out of thin air, gasps of smoke and shudders of music, closed eyes and faint sighs embracing the crop circles of sawdust in the carpets. It’s about muses slipping through fingers and curling around his toes. Seven is about passion. A dream.
