Once upon a time, very long ago, there was a beautiful, blue eyed princess who daily visited a small village near her huge, and glossy castle. The princesses name was Paisley, and she was crazy for daisies! All she wanted to find were some daisies, and that’s exactly what she found in the small village. A handsome prince was selling talking daisies and Paisley couldn't wait to buy them! “Hello good sir, how much for these lovely, talking daisies?” said Paisley as politely as possible hoping to get them for cheap. “ Hello ma’am, these daisies are priceless items. Therefore I will sell them to you for three cows.” said the handsome prince. “Um, well, I only have,” said Paisley hesitantly wondering what lie would fool the handsome prince, “one …show more content…

When the witch saw Paisley she immediately said “Hurry up now give me back the crown!” she then saw that Paisley was not carrying the bejeweled crown that was given to her the day before. “Fee Fo Dum Dum, make this fool done, done!” yelled the little ol’ witch. It was a spell to kill Paisley.The witch kept casting crazy spells! Paisley was terrified so she sprinted back through the village and back to her castle. Along the way she saw the same prince she was supposed to marry. He noticed that the witch was chasing Paisley and he blocked the witch’s way. Paisley escapes back to her castle safely. Although when she ran through the meadow, the talking daisies sang another song, “ You lied and lied now you fulfill your promise, you lied you lied have you learned about the house pocus?” Paisley did not understand what they meant, their song didn’t even rhyme! A few hours later, the prince had the witch banished from the earth. He went to go marry Paisley. Of course she fulfilled her promise due to the fact that the prince saved her life.

    In “The Flowers,” by Alice Walker, the flowers are used throughout the story to symbolize the beauty and naivety of childhood. In the beginning of the story the author shows the main character Myop walking down a path along the fence of her farm. Myop sees “an armful of strange blue flowers with velvety ridges…” The flowers are bright and colorful, reminding the reader of an innocent type of beauty often associated with them. This suggests the flowers were inserted in the story by Walker to reveal how young and innocent Myop appears to be. Later in the story, after Myop had discovered the dead body of a man who seemed to have been hung “Myop laid down her flowers,”. As Myop put down the flowers she was also putting down the last of her innocence.

  • Witches In Macbeth

    716 Words  | 2 Pages

    Once upon a time, three weird sisters appeared in the thunder and lightning. They were dressed in all black dresses and a large hat with a pointy top, resembling a witch. They looked up into the sky and had a quick discussion about the next time they will meet and where they will meet Macbeth. Scottish King Duncan appears at the military camp, when he hears the news about his generals, Macbeth and Banquo and how they have defeated these two invading armies. One was from Ireland, which was led by the rebel Macdonwald, and one was from Norway. Macbeth and Banquo unexpectedly saw the weird sisters as they cross a moor. They looked at them and started to laugh. They wondered who were these three hideous creatures dressed like witches; and so they called them. The witches looked at Macbeth and started to hold hands rocking side to side, looking up into the sky as if they see a ghost the one in the middle gets on her knees and says “all hail Macbeth” then they all kneel down and do the same. The one in the middle tells Macbeth that he will be made thane of Cawdor and eventually King of Scotland. They also predicted that Banquo’s descendants will be Scottish kings, although Banquo will never be king himself. Then witches vanished into thin air. Macbeth and Banquo questioned the witches’ predictions. Two of King Duncan’s men came to thank them on their victory in battle. The generals tell Macbeth that he has been named the new thane of Cawdor and how the previous thane of Cawdor has betrayed Scotland by fighting for the Norwegians and Duncan had sent someone to kill him. Macbeth had become interested in the witches’ prediction. He started to think that maybe what the witches told him is true and that he will be crowne...

    It was Christmas Eve. I sat, huddled in a ball, behind the armchair in my living room. I was trying to be as still and patient as I could be. I remember moments where I held my breath thinking if she heard me breathe, she would leave and I would never get a chance to see her. I could feel myself drifting off to sleep, but I tried to resist. All I wanted was to see her just once. Usually, I would be scared at the thought of a witch, but she was different. She was a magical witch who flew on a broom from house top to house top, visiting children and filling their shoes with candy and chocolates. Sure enough, I awoke the next morning to find myself still huddled in the same ball; I had fallen asleep before La Befana arrived. As I stood up yawning, I took a big stretch and noticed my Christmas shoes lying by my feet full of goodies.
