The Nose Short Story

I stand and stare in disbelief as the car’s bonnet is crumpled into the bulky metal pole on the side of the road. My limbs are numb and I am drenched from head to toe. The glistening droplets continuously drip off the tip of my nose as I realize how much trouble I’m going to get into. The wind wails around me as if it’s saying “you’re going to be in so much trouble”. I suddenly get back into the car and attempt to reverse the car so no one will see the car rammed into the power pole. Mum and Dad's pristine new car. Scratched. Dented. Ruined.

The moustache is a short story written by Robert Cormier. A seventeen-year-old decides to grow a facial hair but it is costing him a bit extra. In real life, if a person looks older than he or she actually is then they may be charged more. Anyone can be deluded by anyone’s display. As in the story, the woman at the movie theaters was deceived by Mike’s appearance that he is older. Also, his grandmother had been misled by Mike’s moustache that he is her dead husband. When a person grows older his or her appearance changes. Mike mother had said to him that your grandmother may not recognize you with a moustache. At the end, Mike decides to shave off his moustache because he sees it can be seen as something else to someone else's eyes. The story helps us understand that don't rush growing up, a person may not be ready. It is not easy being an adult, there are a lot of complicated decisions and responsibilities.

Many Stories show various literary elements in their text to add more detail to and context to the plot. “The Landlady” and ‘The Monkey’s Paw” is a perfect example that displays these elements. In “The Landlady”, A businessman named Billy Weaver looks for a place to stay. He comes across a bed and breakfast. Little does he know the contents inside that building are unthinkable. The story “The Monkey’s Paw” has just as much suspense. A family, the Whites, are visited by Sergeant Major Morris. They talk about a preserved monkey paw that holds magic. The son, Herbert, is doubtful but the parents believe that the paw may have some potential. They are warned that the paw will have consequences along with the wishes granted. In “The Landlady” and ‘The Monkey’s Paw” the author uses the characterization of unusualness and sarcasm, foreshadowing death and evil consequences, irony dramatically and verbally, the tone of darkness and deviousness, and an unsettling and anxious mood to add details to the story.

Star-off machine? Whisper-ma-phone? These are just some of the many crazy and bizarre words that Dr. Seuss created and utilized in two of his famous stories, The Sneetches and The Lorax. In The Lorax, the Lorax tried to persuade the Once-ler to not cut down the truffula trees. The Once-ler ignored the Lorax, and he cut them down anyway. As a result, the Lorax had to make all of his friends move away. This caused the Lorax to be alone, so he moved away as well. In The Sneetches, there were two groups, the star-belly sneetches and the sneetches without stars on their bellies. The star-belly sneetches were known as “the best type of sneetch” because they had stars. Since the star-bellies were known as the best, the sneetches without stars

The Nose by Nikolai Gogol was incredibly strange to me. That is not to say that I did not enjoy it. Really, I am just unsure of how I feel about it because it was so strange that I do not know how to wrap my mind around it. I did enjoy how whimsical and silly it was, though. I was not sure what to expect from this story, but it certainly was not what I experienced.

The dreaded sound echoed through the silent class sending chills through the spines of the students. As he patrols like a warden looking for an excuse to use his power on anyone that smirks. The kids put in order based on someone's perception, and forced to work in silence by themselves with punishment if they don’t follow. If its not a prison then I don’t know what is. The variety of people in the class was vast with the son of a brilliant doctor who secretly schemed in silence on what tortures act he would tackle next, there is a girl whilst innocent on the outside has her complete on view on the way the world works in regards to the expectancy of women versus men. Finally the most extraordinary of all is a boy that has the nickname Bonehead. He sits in the hallowed class room with the most

Finally, he showed his ingenuity by having the idea to make something that could save his life. “He was sure to frost his cheeks; he knew that, and experienced a pang of regret that he had not devised a nose-strap of the sort Bud wore in cold snaps” (101). Throughout the story, the man proved his ingenuity. In this circumstance, he showed his ability to build a thing that would be beneficial to him. However, his arrogance leads to him not making it and later to his demise.

I believe, out of all of the short stories we read thus far, Snot, from Brownies is the most dynamic character. The change is that hate is everywhere in the world; even her father has hate inside of him. Snot comes to this realization at the end of the short story by telling the rest of her Brownie Troop the story of the Mennonites. Her father took advantage of the fact they will do anything if asked by having the Mennonites paint their porch (Packer 27). Snot asked her father the reasoning behind this and he responded by saying “…‘it was the only time he’d have a white man on his knees doing something for a black man for free’” (Packer 27). This is showing how her father did this out of spite to settle some hurt he had in the past with white

"Lemme just get that" Dan then stands up. Locking eyes with Phil, turns around, then bends all the way forward in an over exaggerated attempt to pick up his pen.

Hello, old friend. It's been quite a long time since we last spoke, and you're probably wondering why I'm reaching out to you now, but don't worry, I'll get to that very shortly. To be blunt, things between us ended very badly, and while I won't force either us to relive every little detail, it's still such a damn shame how everything went down. But this isn't about that, nor do I want this to be some rant about you. Whatever happened happened, and I've long accepted that. Instead, I'd like to go back in time a bit to when our friendship was at its peak. Music is very much a vital part of my life, so naturally, after meeting in February of 2013, we very quickly found common ground over that. There was one band, however, that really sealed the

The endorphins rushed through Tische's body, making every nerve end tingle, and the entire outside world to seem as if it didn't exist. He and Harper were the universe. The smoothness of her skin, the sound of her moans, the feel of her walls clenching and convulsing around hir engorged cock as he filled her with his hot cum, and their combined juices flowed down their thighs, his grunts and pants, the bang of wood against the wall, the slap of flesh against flesh; each movement, sound, sight and sensation occurred in slow motion, and was captured in his memory, forever to be seared into his mind and senses. His primal scream cut through the air, and he shuddered, writhed and moaned without restraint until every last ounce of his seed had been

Feces has an interesting nature as it is only one of a few earthly substances that when one’s hand is driven deep into a mound of it, it can only become more apparent that every one of the decisions made leading up to the moment were all unarguable mistakes. Jordan sighed, his eyes opening from a cringed expression to only verify that when he chose to stuff the level of trash down, he had not been gasping at generously melted concession stand chocolate, but a heap of guano gift wrapped in whitey tighties. With a disgusted grace, he quickly turned to the nearest sink to clean the dung off as best as he could before quickly exiting the bathroom.

No penetration of any kind. No direct touching of the ‘V’. Stop means stop, or else. Three simple rules. Gosalyn thought they would prevent things like this, that knowing the boundaries and agreeing to them beforehand would allow her to avoid this scenario. Those four words—“We need to talk”.

My shirt is drenched in blood, my head is spinning like a top on a tilted surface, and I have a sharp pain coming from my left ear. I don’t really know what’s going on, the last thirty seconds were sort of a blur, but I do recall being on the 18th hole playing golf with my friends, and thinking about how funny it would be to put sand on my friends ball as he tees off.

“I’m going to check it out you stay Margo you’re much to suck to get up”.
