surges through you like a river at high water as you slowly creep up to the murky, crumbling house that is, the Radley’s house. There are three steps lurking through the fog. You take a deep shuddering breath and step. You step again and your fear intensifies. Maybe this was a bad idea. You should come back when dad isn’t home. That’s right I’m a Radley. Boo Radley’s sister but that doesn’t much matter. Slowly you open the door and it creaks. Shoot! The fear inside of you triples. You didn’t

outlaws and grifters, you could never quite get a read on them. “Mr. Mason, I’m Deputy Stallings from the US Marshal Service. My team has been tasked with transporting you to your final destination.” Watching carefully, Jared saw the beady little black eyes go from surprised to narrow with suspicion. “Come again compadre. What do ya mean by final destination?” “You have no doubt already been told you are moving to a super max facility in the near future. I’m not at liberty to divulge you scheduled day of

The reflection from the door lowers just enough so Cander can see what looks like two people standing in front of the door, he can’t quite see their faces due to the bright light, they look like Executives except their suits are white. “What’s your business here?” asks the deep voice. “He knows.” Cander says back in a firm tone. The large white door before him swings open, the two

Reader-Response to John Updike’s “A&P” “Sammy, you don’t want to do this to your Mom and Dad,” he tells me. It’s true, I don’t. But it seems to me that once you begin a gesture it’s fatal not to go through with it (323). This statement made by Sammy after quitting his job, was made towards the end of John Updike’s story “A&P”. Sammy had quit his job, a job that his parents helped him to get. Sammy opened up a whole new world; a world that I don’t think Sammy was ready for. He made a quick

“Where are you? For the love of God, I’ve been waiting for almost an hour already!” Eunah yelled through the phone as the man he was talking to only laughed apologetically. “I just woke up late. I’m sorry, okay? I’ll buy you doughnuts,” Jungkook bribed his best friend as he knew her undying love for doughnuts. “Make it a dozen, you prick.” - Age 12 Eunah met Jungkook through her cousin Yuki. Jungkook happened to be Yuki’s cousin as well. Eunah was Yuki’s third cousin – Yuki’s mother and Eunah’s mother

reading a play you expect characters that play a part and tell a story that the readers can ultimately learn from, but in a piece of work done by Shakespeare a little bit more is done. Shakespeare tests the limits and questions who you really are and what your purpose can really be in life. Throughout everyone’s life there is a role that each person needs to play. Roles can be seen as positive or negative, but the beneficial outcomes that come from them are undeniable. In the play As You Like It we see

sure. “Ugh, can one of these people stop honking and give us a ride.” Raina shuffled her purse, it was starting to weigh her down. They heard another honk, an old blue bronco came to a stop in front of them. A man hopped out of the truck. “Look’s like you could use a ride!” he yelled, even though he was only a short

“Why won’t those gates break down? I’m losing too many soldiers.” Whined General Zhousbek, obviously frustrated and angered by his losses. The majority of his goblin army wore leather armor and unfortunately, it did not shield them from the Parsis’ archers’ arrows. Lady Sara reassured General Zhousbek with some welcome information. “Don’t worry, General, while we are hammering at their gates, Ace will be killing their King Teravan.” “We need different equipment.” Stated General Zhousbek who

1. Why did you help Johnny and Ponyboy escape after the murder? Answer from Dally: “I helped Johnny escape after the murder because I cared about him, I knew that he did it because he wanted to protect someone or something that he cared about, and because I don’t want him to go to jail. I helped him because I didn’t want him to end up in jail like I did. He would never survive in there. Besides, I don’t want him to get hard like I did.”       I think that the main reason Dally helped Ponyboy and

and give me this comic book called Sailor Moon. To me at the time it was the weirdest thing. I don’t know if you know this, but Japanese comic books (also known as manga) are supposed to be read backwards.
