    a tweet, a post, or frequently, a graphic t-shirt. It will always go something like this “And then the one guy kicked the ball right past the other guy and got a point. #SPORTSBALL” (Dalton). Or a shirt I’ve seen with the words “Move the thing to the other thing!” and a picture of a man yelling “I’m super worked-up because my team did stuff!” No matter which sport the joke aims to lampoon, the end goal is always the same.

    There is one thing in this world that no one can escape, that everyone fears, and makes people who are close to that person miserable, and that is death.

The theme of “The Thing in the Forest” is that war destroys literally everything in its path, one of the most horrifying being the destruction of innocence. The symbolism of the Worm, the setting of the story and characterization of Alys all support this.

    will disagree by saying that possessions cannot fill the void in your life forever. There will always be something that you will want so that you can maintain the happiness that is put into possessions. Others will say that conformity is a popular thing in society and the only way to be happy is to conform to the way society says you should.

    In the short story “The Thing in the Forest” by A.S Byatt, the author introduces the thing as dark, ominous and has a very putrid smell that is almost like a representation of death. The thing in the forest lurks and wanders around the forest next to a house filled with children that have been sent there because they have been evacuated from their town.

We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from
