Vonnefoy: A Short Story

In the stories “Nethergrave” and “The Sound of Thunder”, there are lessons and examples of real-world problems. However, I think that the problems that are in “Nethergrave” can be most associated with kids of today. While “The Sound of Thunder” addresses a similar topic children and teens can relate more to “Nethergrave”. Children, but mostly teens, can relate to Jeremy because he does not fit in much, doesn't like hanging out with people, and likes to be alone and play one the computer. These kids should realize that the online-world is not always going to be nice and happy, something may go wrong they will end up getting hurt.

About three years ago my family and I were staying in downtown Seattle and decided to hit up Vons 1000 Spirits happy hour. We were enjoying some cocktails when suddenly my dad exclaimed "is what I think's happening, actually happening?". We all whipped our heads to the window next to us to see what he was looking at. There was a building next door, probably 50 feet away, that I believe contains businesses and condos. There against the railing, outside of the buildings main entrance, is a well dressed couple just going to town. He had this woman bent over the railing and was just nailing her. Now it's 5pm in the summer so it's bright daylight out and from our view we can see everything. Not to mention this is a busy building and people were

Being new to an unfamiliar place is always a challenge and bring discomfort, being alone and knowing no one. In “The Street”, Ann Petry uses personification, selection of detail, and imagery in order to reveal Lutie's relationship to the urban setting and to show the challenges Lutie Johnson faces in the urban environment.

She trekked forward, valiantly, against the aloof, inhospitable environment. Around her, she witnessed as the rudimentary surroundings drove individuals away as if it never wished for accost. Despite this she continued to trudge forward, despondently, waiting for a sign-- anything to warn her if she ought to continue or if she ought to give up. Eventually, she persisted. Ann Petry, in her novel The Street, explores the dynamic relationship between Lutie Johnson and the unfriendly urban setting through the articulate use of dramatic personification and vivid imagery as a metaphor for the uncertainty that ensues when relocating in a new, diverse, and vastly dissimilar environment.

As Abigail stepped out of the alley, there was no sun to warm up her back; there was no instant increase in the rushed bustle of people. There was no change. Abigail’s entire world was an alley.

A tragedy in its own right must evoke emotion and a response from the audience through effective use of several elements evident in Shakespeare’s and Aristotle’s style of tragic writing. The plot progression of a tragedy should be rather specific under the idea which leads, ultimately, to the downfall of the protagonist. Despite the sorrowful story behind Richard Van Camp’s short story “Mermaids,” the exclusion of several core elements from both styles of writing prevent this piece from being classified a tragedy. “Mermaids” lacked the development of a tragic flaw in the main character, Torchy, and furthermore did not lead the character to their tragic demise, Van Camp also excluded the idea of isolating him over time and rather brought him closer to those around him to get over his inner conflict, which is unlike a tragedy.

David Von Drehle is a very qualified writer because of his notable achievements at such a young age. In 1992 he was sent to cover the presidential primary which started his career as a political writer, giving him the ability to show a clear bias with the politics of the labor movement and worker exploitation occurring in this time period.

Living in a small annex, there is one window and limited space. You eat beans and rotten potatoes everyday. The running water cannot be used between 8:30 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. and you must be silent. Others have to bring you your necessities so that you can live. Everyday holds the fear of being captured. This is how the Franks and Van Daans lived everyday for two years. They were deprived of many things.They could only do certain things during work hours and they had to rely on others. Would you be able to live like this?
