The town of Smyrna was changed forever on the afternoon of May 18th. Barlow's Great North American Circus was coming to town, it was supposed to be the best show of all. Unlike any other circus this one included V tigers,lions,leopards, elephants,and many other exotic animals. Dan and Kit saw the circus poster in the store and were very excited because they had never seen circus
and tightened his fist. Unacceptable, absolutely unacceptable. His patience waned. Like standing barefoot in low tide, he could feel the sand being sucked between his toes, only it was every ounce of self-control he possessed. “Sir, this is the clown costume you asked for.” A petite girl with honey hair and catlike eyes stared at him, foot tapping. “This is not the costume I wanted.” His words were clipped. “Sir,” she pointed to the wall. “You said number one-sixty nine.” Evan looked up at the
area and it had one road leading up to it. This road was stuffed with clown cars. Judging by how many of the vehicles were simply cars hastily and gaudily painted with spray paint, I deduced that much of this army was recently infected clowns. It turns out they had rapidly, within a day, recruited the next city over in preparation for this siege. Our wonderment was interrupted by the ricochet of bullets as the gun toting clowns fired upon us. It would take a lot more than that to kill this bird though
I have a major fear of clowns. It started with a terrible occurrence in my youth. Everytime I see one I have this horrible feeling that makes me sick. Of my experiences, I had one encounter that made my fear somewhat decrease. Most of my fear from them is what I didn't know or see. But I'm still not afraid of the circus.

As Viola says, “this fellow is more than just a clown”, “he must know the humour of whom he jests”, Feste knows how to make fun of people based on their
Harlan Ellison uses strong imagery in his short story “‘Repent, Harlequin!’ said the Ticktockman” to better develop the characters and setting. The personalities of both the Harlequin and the Ticktockman are developed through Ellison’s imagery of their physical forms and of their personas. The dull setting of the short story is created through the author’s imagery of machinery, particularly clockwork, and Mondrian arrangements. Ellison’s use of imagery allows the reader to pull from this story deeper
Seven homeless lit a small bonfire and huddled around flames, which glowed yellow and gold. The air was thick smelled of dead fish fed to their dogs. They’re lighting a cigarette and playing the ukulele; a small guitar that has four strings. Then one of the homeless rushed toward the waterfront dock and vomited all the content of his stomach into the water. Everyone jokes afterward that he might have swallowed uncooked fishes too much. The homeless cursed and yelled dirty words as Trey and Cedric
released in 2017, where clowns drove around recklessly and created a dangerous environment for other drivers. In this commercial, different safety features of the Audi cars caused the vehicles to avoid crashes in spite of the dangerous driving around them. The content of this advertisement helps to determine the target audience: wealthy American drivers. The use of clowns within the commercial provided evidence that the ad primarily targeted American consumers, as clowns were depicted as both a symbol
the fear of clowns is a real phobia for both children and adults alike. The phobia could be explained by what Sigmund Freud explained in a 1919 publication “The Uncanny” In this work Sigmund Freud explains that we can be frightened by something that is familiar and yet unfamiliar at the same time.
