Violetwood's Short Story

Upon seeing a clear, beautiful blue sky, many people would believe that the day would be peaceful, no rain or thunderstorms. But that was not the case on September 11, 2001.

Wildwood is a story written by a writer named Junot Diaz. This story mainly focuses about a young girl called Lola. Lola lives in New Jersey with her single mother, and her brother called Oscar until she moves to her grandmother’s place. This little girl has a miserable relationship with her mother. Three things are important to Lola’s life: being responsible, being independent, and showing love to her grandmother.

This is the story of Winnie Foster. But not the story you know from Tuck Everlasting. This is an alternate ending, where Winnie decides to wait until she is seventeen, drink the water, and live forever. My story picks up right before Winnie pours the spring water over the toad in the original story.

Scarlett offers him a job running one of the mills that she has started so that way Ashley can stay close to her. “But I’m offering you a half-interest in the mill, Ashley! You would be standing on your own feet because—you see, it would be your own business” (Mitchell 717). She is giving Ashley the chance to start something for himself and keep him close to her. Scarlett knows that she is causing Ashley pain and distress by expressing herself to him so Scarlett agrees to not throw herself at him. “’You need not go,’ she said clearly. I won’t have you all starve, simply because I’ve thrown myself at your head. It will never happen again’” (Mitchell 526). By backing off, Scarlett is giving Ashley the chance to stay at Tara where is family can be safe and taken care of even when it is hurting Scarlett to lose

Although it seems that Ashley is nice, I don’t think she is, she could have been hanging out with isabelle because she has a plan to hurt her. I think that Ashley is going to be like that in the next book and backfire on her to go and hangout with her other friends. Even thought they have that in common ashley could get hurt and lose her friends because of that

He is starting to regret his decision on having a sister. At the start, he would have craved every hour of the day to have a sister, but Ashley is not the right

Titus and his friends ignore most things that really should not be ignored these few current events in partying all night until they find out that there was a problem and that Violet’s feed was unlike others her feed acts up and she could be in big danger. Unlike the other kids, she had her feed placed in when she was only seven years old and it's usually installed when you are directly born, and fixing that is something that must be done to save her and also it cost a lot wich her and her dad can't afford.

Later that week, on Ashley birthday, they made their plan a go. The truthers want it to be a hit and run. They blindfolded Ashley making her think they had a surprise for her but in reality they wanted to hit her with a shovel. After Jessie hit Ashley with the shovel, Anna buried her in the woods. I do not know why the truthers did this but after burying Ashely they ran to the police, told the police the truth, and got arrested. For awhile everyone hated the truthers for what they did but after five years went by everyone forgot about them.

They were just hours from docking The Fortuna. Her crimson red sails at full mast for all the harbor to see. It was a beautiful sight all the other sails were all white, but hers stood out. What she procured would get her top dollar as she took inventory. Some pieces she put aside for Lady Dashwood to take a look at, hoping her knowledge of the pieces and their worth.

Luke listened, dumbfounded to Rosalie's dismissal of everything he had just said. She hadn't listened to him at all. It was almost like she was intentionally ignoring or distorting every point he made. What she lacked in logical follow through, she made up for, partially, in rhetorical skill. No matter how wrongheaded her conclusions were, she delivered them convincingly.

Ashley took a long time to open up to people. Some people may think, why is it so hard for her to open up to others? All you had to do is start up a conversation. Why does she shut herself out of the real world? The reason why Ashley had such a hard time opening up to others was because she was abused. Her foster parents put it into her mind that she shouldn’t speak about what she was going through or else she would be punished. One time the Moss’s had some inspectors come by the house. She told the kids to put on a show to make it look like a great foster home, “ Surely Mrs. Moss would punish me if she thought I was ruining her little show” (Rhodes-Courter 92). Mrs. Moss chose to have the children sing, You are my Sunshine after she heard Ashley sing it to one of the younger kids to cheer her up. By doing so, she struck a chord in Ashley because that song was Ashley’s mother and her song. That song was the song that tied happiness to her relationship with her mother. That moment symbolized the loss of hope Ashley had to be taken out of the foster home. Another reason some people may not agree that Ashley Rhodes-Courter is successful is because, after living with her adoptive family for a few months, Ashley drugged her parents. No kid should drug their parents, it’s wrong. Even if the child is mad or finds it amusing they shouldn’t do it, because it’s not ethical. The reason why Ashley had the audacity to drug her parents was because she was peer pressured into doing so. She was friends with a girl named, Brooke. Brooke wasn’t a great influence on Ashley, Brooke was that child that liked to do the wrong things. She once had Ashley wait 30 minutes after a movie was finished so she could make out with her boyfriend, “When I dragged Brooke outside, Gay- who had been waiting for more than a half hour- was seething” (Rhodes-Courter 242). Brooke wanted to hang out with her boyfriend, but her

For as long as the people of Violetwood could remember, curse since the beginning of mankind. They did not understand how and why it happened, the only thing that they knew was that they are cursed. Four girls who were stuck between telling the truth or telling a fable. These four girls were stuck between doing the right thing or doing what they thought was right. The malediction of the town was if you tell a tall tale your skin will start to turn ugly. One simple white lie can lead to hair turning white, hair falling out, acne, skin peeling. Whatever that makes you unique or beautiful will turn ugly by the next day or hour depending how big the lie was that you told. One fib can lead to one of the five consequences or they can all happen

Ashley’s mother explained to Billy that they’ve grow up in the same way with rules for everything and that’s why they all are very successful. Billy thinks she is very harsh with Ashley.

His second day of training didn’t start off with a bang, either. Just like the first day, he had to spend an all-nighter, to get in all eight hours of meditation for the day. He was scolded for falling asleep several times.

By the way this question is not only for Ashley, but for anyone in the thread :0).
