The Adventure of the Empty House

“I told you, like a greasy son of a bitch who smelled like old Eastern money. He also was a lawyer, he was sadistic, and liked to pinch the girl’s hard until they sniffled.

troubled times, but I am going to tell my story with some adventure, melancholy, and dramatic parts. I was 11 year old girl named Jessica that has gone through strange and very difficult times. At the beginning my life was perfect and I was always overjoyed because I did not have anything to be gloomy about.. I had parents who supported me and had a very aggravating, but incredible younger sister and brother. I lived in a two-story house in Lake Placid, Florida. I had lots of friends that would

I was tired and had looked forward to a nice quiet evening at home, not another stupid adventure with Jackie. Thirty minutes later, however, Jackie’s silver Mustang convertible swung into our driveway, and Jackie was leaning on the horn before the car came to a full stop. Grabbing my coat from the couch, I walked out my front door with all

nonsensical King Arthur and a soldier with a keen interest in birds. In Monty Python and the Holy Grail we see everyday acts of chivalry, being hilariously mocked. “What, ridden on a horse?” “Yes!” “You 're using coconuts!” “What?” “You 've got two empty halves of coconuts and you’re bangin ' 'em together.” This is a prime example of satire directed at chivalry today. People seem to think that chivalry is rooted so far in the past that it’s gone. I can say that it may be gone from some minds, but

Motherhood feeling blooms in each woman’s heart. As a little girl, motherhood is practiced through doll as if it is her baby. As a woman grows up, she creates her dreams of being a mother, strong bond, and attachment to this world; she naturally belongs to this hood.

century before Christ (Kovacs, xvii). Although there is no tangible evidence, according to Kovacs, it is assumed that the stories and deeds of Gilgamesh were recorded in his own time around 2500 BC (Kovacs, xxii). It seems that even though Gilgamesh's adventures may have been embellishments, he was indeed a living man who ruled the city of Uruk at the end of the early Sumerian second Dynastic period after the great Mesopotamian flood when kings became deified (Kovacs, xxvii, Woolley, p. 22).
