There are three different parts of this story. From myself (Jamie), Sling, and Jr. Everything all started on a freezing snowy winter day. If you didn’t already know, I live in a snow forest with the most terrible wolf named Jr. Every time I try to be nice to Jr., he makes fun of me. He always says that I am weird and dumb. I don’t think it is fair at all. I knew that obnoxious wolf for a year and a half. I know he is a runt and everything, but he could be nicer to me, I tried to hang out with him because I felt bad for him. But no, he has to be so cruel. One Day, while I was in the forest, it started to snow. So I went to my house for cover. But by a month or so, there haven’t been any sunshine or flowers. I knew there was a problem because, usually when there was snow, it would be gone in a week or two. I really do miss the trees blooming, the bright pastel flowers, and the warm wind blowing in my face. I knew only one person who would feel the same way. Jr. We …show more content…
and the wizard Sling went back to the icy, freezing, snowy forest. By the time they got back, Sling saw the horrible forest, and remembered when he went to college over by the glistening river, that is now frozen into a giant skating rink. There were good and bad memories in that college. The most tragic memory was being kicked out of the academy. The worst part is, he got kicked out because he was too intelligent for the academy. Sling sighed as he passed the glistening river. Jamie and Jr. continued along to show Sling the rest of the snowy forest. When Sling saw his favorite part of the forest, he was heartbroken to see it covered with snow. He liked that one spot, because that one spot seemed to be the most beautiful spot there was on campus. That one specific spot had, perfectly tilted trees, pastel like flowers, buzzing bees, and birds chirping. That one spot was just the most beautiful spot there is to Sling. Finally, when Sling saw the entire forest he had enough and told Jr and

Tobias Wolff is framing his story Hunters in the Snow, in the countryside near Spokane, Washington, where three friends with three different personalities, decided to take a trip to the woods for hunting in a cold, snowy weather. The whole story follows the hunting trip of these three friends. The reader can easily observe that the cold, hostile environment is an outward expression of how the men behave towards one another. Kenny, with a heart made of ice is rather hostile to Tub, while Frank is cold and indifferent to Tub and his pleas for help.The environment is matching the characters themselves, being cold and uncaring as the author described the two from truck when they laughed at the look of Tub: “You ought to see yourself,” the driver said. “He looks just like a beach ball with a hat on, doesn’t he? Doesn’t he, Frank?”(48). Near the beginning of the story the cold and the waiting surely creates an impact in the mood of the character. Tub is restless from the wait and the cold adds on to it. He complains about being cold and Kenny and Frank, his friends tell him to stop complaining, which seems to be very unfriendly. Wolff builds up the story on the platform of cold weather and the impact of the cold on each character slowly builds up.
"Into The Woods," is a mixture of Cinderella, Little Red Ridinghood, Jack In The Bean Stalk, Rapunzel, and The Baker and The Baker's Wife. It was held at the Springfield Theatre on Lawrence Street, on the eighth day of the tenth month of the year 2000. The plays were not separated in their own section the whole time. They mixed them all together most of the time. It was very interesting and entertaining. This musical was set in the woods (the whole time). Every skit was just like the original ones, but they put a little twist to them to make them funnier.
Flannery O'Connor is a very complex writer in terms of her use of symbolism in addition to the elements of the grotesque and blackly humorous. O'Connor’s story, "A View of the Woods," is symbolically complicated. The story focuses on the relationship of Mary Fortune Pitts, a little girl, and her grandfather, Mr Fortune. The story is one of conflict that mounts to tragedy in the end. The conflict is basically between Mary Fortune and her grandfather over the sale of some ground that Mary Fortune finds important for her father's grazing of his cattle and for the view of the woods. You might look carefully at the woods in this story because they assume a symbolic significance similar to the woods in "Greenleaf."
The first ten minutes were like any other. Let Winston out and let him run around for a bit. But then out of nowhere, he started barking like crazy. I ran over to him, flashlight on and machete in hand. He was barking at something down the hill. I kept telling him to calm down, but he wouldn’t. Then he took off down the hill at what seemed like lightspeed. I yelled for him to come back. I started to run after him. I really didn’t want to go down there, but I really loved that dog. I ran down the hill, trying my hardest not to trip.
It all started last year during summer break. I was with a couple of friends when he came along. He was short, round and had a learning disability. We thought that it'd be fun to pick on him for a while. We took turns shoving him around. I guess I shoved him too hard and he rolled down the hill we were on. When we found him he was barely breathing. We tried to help him because we thought that it'd be the right thing to do but then we realized that this was all our fault. We couldn't let him go so we carried him into the forest for the animals to finish him off. Days later, we returned to the forest only to find his body with teeth marks all over, he even lost his leg to a pack of coyotes. The worst part of it was that in the midst of all this, he was still alive slowly enduring this torture. We took our turns saying our apologies but we knew that it would never be enough.
“Well I would rather get beat then stay here I'm sorry but my owner is not nice and never will be maybe we should leave together and if we get caught we will be in the pit together so what I'm done suffering threw every thing just because you're scared to leave.” yelled Maddy.

Robert Frost’s “The Road Not Taken” and “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” both portray weighing of choices in life. The former is about youth and experiencing life and the latter is about old age, or more probably, an old spirit wearied by life. In both poems the speaker is in a critical situation where he has to choose between two paths in life. In “The Road Not taken” the speaker chooses the unconventional approach to the decision making process, thus showing his uniqueness and challenging mentality while in “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” the speaker seeks a life without any pain and struggle but at the end, he has to comply with social obligation, which reflects his responsibility towards the society.
It was a calm, overcast day, and I found myself resting at the side of a large oak tree, admiring the beauty of the woods that surrounded me.
