“Ouch!” I heard Drizella whine from the back of the carriage. She was plucking her eyebrows as our transportation hit a bump in the road. We were on our way to our new step-father’s house. Drizella is not the biggest fan of him, but Mother says he’s loaded, so personally I see no problem with him. Our carriage slowed, and we pulled up to a dark, wooden house. It wasn’t a poor house by any means, but it was a bit shabby. This was entirely disappointing. “Mother!” I screamed. “I thought you said this

Their Last Night Together Emmitt and Ava were high school sweethearts; the beginning of their relationship was great, as is every other ordinary teenage relationship. Ava begun to notice a drift between her and Emmitt, and was unsure how to approach it; he was very cold and short with her, he was changing into someone she couldn’t recognize anymore. She began speaking with his family and friends and slowly learned that he had been taking pain killers due to an accident that happened while at work;

The trouble all began with the last delivery of the night. He 'd driven down this farm- to-market road for what seemed like ages. Sean had all but given up on getting the pizzas there before they got cold. The mailbox with the right address abruptly came into view. Beyond that was a gravel road that was swallowed by the dark pressing woods and underbrush. Sean 's busted old Honda crunched slowly along the gravel road for over a mile before it reached the top of a small hill. Cresting the hill, he

What is going on during the time period of your book? (war, drought, excess of money, prejudices, political unrest, etc.) Excess to money because Enrique's mom needed money so Belky and Enrique could go to school. How does that element affect the plot, setting, and characters of your book? It affects the plot and the setting by their mom leaving so they could go to school and it affects the characters by not having their mom with them so it gets hard for them.

quite the case. At the same time, closing down a chain restaurant may not sound like a significant moment to someone who has undergone unspeakable suffering, but it could be the equivalent to the apocalypse for another. In Elie Wiesel’s Night and Last Night at the Lobster

hatred and the needs for power. The poem "Disabled" and the text "The Last Night" are both based on war and the destruction that war causes: losing lives, losing families, losing body parts and losing innocence. "Disabled" and "The Last Night" both convey the impact of war on the young, innocent people. "Disabled" conveys the message of soldiers losing themselves and remembering who they used to be before the war and "The Last Night" tells a sad story about two brothers who have lost their parents and

do to Neon and Octavia, who had no idea where I was last night—obviously. It was so stupid. I almost put everything on the line, and for what? A taste of vengeance? A destroyed heart? Loss? Pfft, if I had known I was gonna get all that, I would’ve stayed with Octavia last night and comfort her—essentially destroying my dreams, which would wreck my heart completely, losing them, and try and have my way with her. That would’ve been one helluva night if it had turned

Sorry, it must have slipped my mind”, he replied with a smirk on his face. - “I was expecting you, you didn’t turn up and I worried.” I genuinely had been worried but only for a while and then I had been unexpectedly disturbed, he didn’t know that ‘though, not yet anyway. - “Oh, there was no need to worry.” - “What a stupid thing to say. Of course I was going to worry. Have you forgotten the last time?

Ray Bradbury’s short story, “The Last Night of the World” highlights American citizens’ fear of the world ending at any given moment during the Cold War. Although explicitly stated otherwise in the text, Bradbury cleverly addresses these fears by disguising them as a common dream among the characters in the short story. In my research, I focused on articles that bridged Bradbury, a well-known author of several famous novels about the Cold War, and sources that highlighted the attitudes of Americans
