The Attic Door

In the summer of 2016, I worked as a counselor at Camp Cub World. The job didn’t pay too well, but it kept me busy and was a wonderful learning experience while having fun. The camp was built for Cub Scouts, or the little boys younger than fifth grade, and resided just downhill from the main Boy Scout camp, Friedlander. One of the attributes of Cub World that makes it unique is called Challenge Camp. Normally we would hold three or four day camp sessions for scouts, but for two weeks in July, we

However, the treatment her husband gave her was to do nothing; so she sneaks up to the attic to write. She writes and fixates on the wallpaper, which she finds revolting. Throughout the story John fixates and tries to “treat” his wife’s illness, while the wife fixates and fantasizes at the wallpaper. She imagines a nursery and having a child

They don’t find Rogers downstairs either, but Brent does come in the front door with a raincoat on. She says she has been walking around the island and comments how no boats could be out today because of the tides. Vera then discovers that another figure is missing from the dining room table. They find Roger’s body outside in

A wise monkey once said, “You can either run from the past or learn from it” (The Lion King). Other people, however, choose to live in the past. In William Faulkner’s A Rose for Emily, the main character struggles to move on with her life. Emily Grierson cannot accept change. This can be seen in the manner she reacts to her father’s death, the changing society, and the thought of Homer Barron leaving her. To better understand the story, William Faulkner uses various symbols throughout the story:

Throughout the history of Greek Theatre, the ekkyklema is considered as one of the most important devices used in Greek tragedies. Literally, translated to “thing that rolls out” (didaskalia.net), it was presented ‘to the Attic Stage during the 5th century’ and served an important function of displaying dead bodies of fallen characters.

“How did you sleep the night before?” “Not the greatest. I had some strange nightmare” “Please explain.” “Well I saw my father and he looked kind of demonic or something and he attacked me.” “Attacked?” “Yes, it startled me somewhat” “Is this the first time you dreamt about him?” “Nah, it’s quite frequent actually” "Adrian let me ask you something." Dr. Sprice leaned back in his chair. He examined him. He appeared to be somewhere in his mid-sixties with dark gray hair and glassy grey eyes

Sometimes I think the universe helped her, by ringing the phone in the nick of time or sending someone to our door to draw her attention for a few hours. She didn’t need too many diversions – I only asked about once or twice. By the time I left Grammie’s house for the first time, I knew why. “Jesus,” Felicity grumbles, pushing the toe of her Vans into a soft

Why are you just helping me?” asked Luna. Dio didn’t respond, they reached the main door, turned the silver polished chrome finish doorknob and proceeded to go outside. “There’s a police station a few blocks down the street we can make it by the rate of which Jefferey’s going. You’ll be fine,” Dio said. Luna stopped suddenly, and asked

I was walking home from school one day when I first noticed something wrong, I could feel eyes on me even though I could not see anyone anywhere near me. As I was walking along I heard someone from behind me calling my name. “Dylan! Wait for me!” It was Justin, my best friend in the world. He was wearing these old blue and white sneakers with his big toe poking out of a hole in one. Coming from a somewhat poorer family and always being the biggest guy in the class, his family struggled to keep
