The Aspiring Author’s Tale
The cool autumn wind gusted through as the travelers continued their journey. The weary wanderers decided to take a rest and have a meal. As the group sat in silence, the Aspiring Author stood up.
“I volunteer to tell a tale while we rest. I will tell a tale; a tale of adventure, bravery and unity, so sit near and listen closely,” the Aspiring Author declared.
A long time ago in a far away land there was a forest named The Oaklands. The Oaklands were large and lively and many creatures inhabited it. The Oaklands were ruled by the Order, who was known for their wisdom. Emperor Turtle was in control of the Willowlands
The creatures followed the laws of the Emperor, for outside the Oaklands was a dark and dangerous

Please go check,” Krystal Vulpes replied,
Maddox Vulpes went to open the door, but suddenly, many wolves burst into the residence. Krystal Vulpes hid her daughter quickly, giving her one last goodbye. Maddox and Krystal were forced outside, and the young cub never saw them again.
Many years later, Clare lived in a small cottage by herself; isolated.
All the other foxes had disappeared from The Oaklands, and Clare had asked many creatures why. However, she never got an answer, for the other creatures either didn’t know or didn’t want to tell her. In their eyes, Clare was another dishonest fox. Clare had tried to ask Emperor Turtle many times, but she did not even make it past the front gate of his palace. That day, Clare was traveling through the Oaklands. The cool autumn breeze relaxed her, and the sound of leaves crunching under her paws made her feel comfortable. An unusual noise disturbed her peaceful state, and Clare quickly turned around, “Hello? Who is there?” She asked, but didn’t receive any reply.
She continued strolling until she heard a shout. Clare bolted towards the scream, and stopped when she saw the most odd sight. A young bunny the color of brown sugar was surrounded by a pack of ravenous

Ivy stretched along the walls, and Clare stood in amazement.
“This is beautiful,” Clare said in awe.
Clare then thought of the animals back in the Willowlands. What they thought of her; what they thought of the fox kind.
Clare stood on a large boulder and announced,
“Foxes, I am Clare, daughter of the Leader Maddox Vulpes. I have come here to announce that we should move back to the Willowlands. Other creatures think of us as tricksters, sly dishonest creatures. We have to prove them wrong!”
It was silent. Until the wolf, Alpha, clapped, and suddenly all the other foxes clapped as well, excited to take back their rightful place. The foxes were prepped for battle. They wore armor to protect them, and had brave hearts ready for battle. They started their march into the WIllowlands, and when they finally reached their destination; they stood brave in the face of danger.
Creatures gathered around them, and Clare proved to them the truth of the Emperor Turtle. Emperor Turtle was sent to be judged by the Order, and the animals took foxes in as beloved allies. The moral of this tale is to stand up for what you believe in, and to make change yourself. Change only starts when you start
The reader can first determine Oliver’s appreciation for nature through her vivid and crystal clear imagery of the “great horned” through the night. With its “razor-tipped toes” and “hooked-beak,” Oliver’s descriptions of the great horned owl show her respect towards the owl, and in the same vein, nature. Similarly, “the white gleam of the [snowy owl’s] feathers” effectively indicates Oliver’s respect and positive attitude towards nature and its picturesque qualities. At the same
Propaganda has been used overtime to manipulate people or nation into believing certain ideas. The Indian Removal Act is a historical example of propaganda manipulating people. The Indian Removal Act was to get the Native Americans living in the southeast side of the Mississippi River to move to the west side of it. Congressed passed the Indian Removal Act so that the Europeans living on the west side of the Mississippi River would get to live on the southeast and the Native Americans would go live on the west. The southeast side of the Mississippi River had rich soil that made farming easier, which allowed living there to also be easier. The west side of Mississippi River was the opposite of the southeast. The west side was dry and unsuitable
She was confused where this idea of his had came from but he had just said from his past. She was nervous about him hunting alone but she knew it’s what he had to do to keep their family going through this hard time. Brad had prepared himself for the woods and to kill anything that he could use for food. As he went out in the dark, he had realized it was too dark and he couldn’t see the wild animal running in the woods. Just as he was about to give up, he had remembered in his past life he had also been an owl. Owls have great night vision and he knew that would help him. He had all the different combinations that could help him get the food he needed for his family. He used his great hunting skills, from his past life of being a lion. He used the knowledge and dedication of the turtle in his past life to know to keep going for the food and shelter for his family. He had also thought of his excellent night vision he used to have as an
Rachel thinking about what was just told to the group a question formed in her head. Looking at Sara she inquired “What kind of animal could do this? Also did you just say a creature from Saint Venard?” Pondering at the possibility that the same type of creature of whatever made a mess in Saint Venard, could have gotten her. Sara interrupting her train of thought replied sullenly
Next, a yellow cocktail music bursts as the cheers of people raised up into the air again. The crowd moved more swiftly around the garden, flowing, dissolving, and merging back into the same form again. The sky slowly turned orange –the sun was heavily sinking into the horizon – and Tom’s boutonniere enhanced its bloodiness and Daisy’s white dress dyed in an elegant yellow. As Tom looked over the crowd, all the immaculate white dresses that were dancing on the grass like fairies were soaked in the sunlight, each one in vivid, but lusterless colours. However, there was a ray of light that caught Tom’s eyes as he overlooked on the people. It was one of the house maids, sweeping the fallen leaves as her pale ring-finger gleamed a dull reflection of the sunshine. She was a woman with a roundish figure, probably in her early thirties. There were no traces of beauty in her appearances like Mary Pickford or a fashionable stylishness like Pola Nergi, but there was an immediate vitality that could be percept straightaway, just like Myrtle. No, exactly like Myrtle, Tom thought. There were no specific similarities between them, but Tom felt like a child who found a puzzle piece that he’s been looking for ages, or perhaps a fragment of a story from his favorite child
Only a mother knows her child, no matter what shape or form they take. Only Dyani ran to the fox’s side to greet her daughter’s spirit. All the other animals bowed their heads, showing respect to the spirit. “Coyote” Silverfox beckoned. “Let us make peace. As my mothers have taught me, i will respect all life, no matter how big or how small. All life matters, worth is not dependent on size or . Let us all be humble and we will be at peace once
Throughout the novel many animal sounds are described to the reader such as the “prairie wolves howling” (McCarthy 44), and the “snarling of flies” (McCarthy 45).

Second, and right from the beginning of the story, the readers will get the idea that Miss Brill is very lonely, so she goes to the park so that the loneliness is subdued. Miss Brill is eavesdropping on people's life, for example, the elderly couple that she was sitting with. In addition, Miss Brill gives her opinion on what she sees and hears when she's eavesdropping. However, Miss Brill think she's making some type of connection with the people she’s listening too in the park. In reality, she just trying to escape the boredom and loneliness in her life because she lives inside her own head and doesn’t really engage with the world. The fox fur that she wears to the park is alive in her imagination and she relates to it like a friend. Miss
Snowtail paced impatiently across the springy plants weaving beneath his paws, letting a low growl when he noticed the slight drizzle beginning to dampen his recently groomed pelt. “Where could she be?” He pondered, pausing to seek out the scent of his sister. It can’t be that hard to sneak out of camp, considering how chaotic it’s been on the other side of the lake, he thought. Then again, she is a queen, and the clan would be suspicious of her leaving with her kits. A booming crash of thunder set the tom immediately out of his thoughts, a prick of fear making his fur rise. He took to the shelter of a willow tree hardly fox-lengths away from the meeting spot, hiding near its base in an attempt to keep him from getting anymore wet.
Principals are under increased pressure to create systemic change within their school. Providing leadership coaching will give principals the tools they need while on the job and can improve their interactions throughout their workday. The purpose of coaching is to move from one place to another (Reiss, 2007, p. 54). The coaching model in the executive world has various models which supports the concept of helping leaders reach their next level with improved thinking skills or clarifying purposeful action to achieve challenging goals. Coaching develops leaders or gives leaders an additional edge (Allison-Napolitano, 2013). The coaching process is successful in helping individuals and organizations through change (Reiss, 2007, p. 56). This paper will review coaching models for school leaders and how interactionism is reflected and plays a part in coaching models. To be clear, executive coaching is defined by the chicagoexecutivecoaching.com,
An opposing view is that the fox is not a serious threat to agriculture, and should not be considered as a vermin. According to the League Against Cruel Sports the foxes actually help farmers by eating small animals, such as rabbits, rats and voles, which are considered to be pests on arable land. In addition, foxes are territorial animals, which means that once a fox is killed another soon moves into its place from a surrounding area. Left to control their population naturally the number of foxes would be controlled by scarcity of food, whereas when used fox hunting for controlling the populations, it only serves to lessen the amount of the animals temporarily, for more foxes to take advantage of the increase in food thus breeding again. Furthermore, foxes do not cause significant loss or damage in livestock. For example the League Against Cruel Sports, an organization strongly against fox hunting, mentions a York University study that states that only a minimal amount of 0.4% of lambs are killed by foxes, and of other livestock the percentage is extremely low as well. According to the study foxes are not a significant danger to livestock.
To writers, silence is perfection; when they are the ones staying as quiet as a mouse. They are observers, and they allow the words to fall from the mouths of those of which they watch. Faraway lands, adventurous characters, and daring journeys that they invent are
At the beginning a mournful tone is set. The 'green turtle', an endangered species is personified
