The Red Door I was awoken by a thump, as if the whole world shattered. I heard my mom cry my name out “Alexis!” I rushed down stairs and out on the streets of Whitecoast. People congested the streets, mumbling words. I managed to make my way to the front, and I my eyes met what the buzz was about, a door. It was a red door in the middle of the street, rusted door handle and fine detail on the wood. Nobody knew where it came from but we all knew it isn’t a good thing. The door creaked open and a letter

I walked through the deep blood stained snow that looked as if a bucket of red paint had exploded in a room with white walls. My left thigh had a large long gash running from my hip down to my knee, dark red blood ran the nile river down to my sock. Every step I took I could feel the the puddle of blood had has build up in the toe of my shoe. It seemed as if I had been walking for miles and miles but i was barely 400m from the cabin that I had so many pleasant memories in. Through the dim headlights

There is no disputing that while we are out and about we must walk through many doorways. Whether we are at work, school, the mall, a supermarket, a restaurant or the post office we have all been in the position where nearing the entrance to a building can have an effect on our day.

Throughout Chronicle of a Death Foretold, Santiago Nasar’s front door embodies his looming veil of fate and eventual sacrificial altar. This main door represents both the recurring theme of fate as well as the religious allusion to the cross of the crucified Christ. As with each of the motifs in the novella, Gabriel Garcia Marquez develops the symbolic doors enough to intimate Latin American beliefs and values and allude to Santiago’s innocence, but not enough to satisfy the loose ends left dangling
when a person violates a norm which is defined as social expectations that guide behavior. The norm I choose to violate is walking on the left side and opening the left door instead of walking on the right side and opening the right door. I chose this norm because I hate it when people walk on the wrong side or use the wrong door in public; however, being on a college campus I have learned to become more tolerant because many foreign exchange students are used to walking and entering on the left

for Angela’s eyes to adjust enough to the newfound darkness. She realized there was moonlight filtering through the windows. It was enough to give a vague outline of her surroundings. She heard those footfalls again, but from Lillian, she heard nothing. She considered running out the front door, but she’d come too far and was in too deep. Now that things were in play, she might never find out who killed Lil if she bailed. She lunged to the left and leapt on the couch, throwing herself over it and
I could hear the home phone ringing as climbed up the basement stairs, out of breath and sweating; I’d just gotten off the treadmill. It’s nearly 10:00pm, weird time to call, I thought. My parents were at some formal event at the country club. Maybe Dad got a flat on the way home. I answered the phone to hear my Aunt Susie’s voice: “Have you spoken to your grandmother today?” For the past several days, my grandmother had been sick with “a cold or something,” as my mother described it. As the daughter

I was trying to keep a positive mind. I only tried to be positive because the tiny door cracked. Tiny, wrinkly, green fingers with long nails poked through and more joined in. I knew my only friend was about to be stipped away of his life. I was living in New York before. I had two parents who loved each other,
“Hello?” The door clicked shut behind me, the quiet sound loud in the empty hallway. I didn’t notice, heading down the hallway, not realizing how bad of a situation I had gotten myself into. “Hello? Peyton? Dad?” I called again into the dark, scanning the walls as I walked down the hall, nearly blind in the dark. “Is anyone here?” There was no response. I was completely alone in the dark. Unbeknownst to me, I had just locked myself in the abandoned first grade pod. Just under an hour ago I had arrived
Thirty minutes later they parted through impatient crowds working their way to the main square of the fairgrounds. That was where the firework show was set up. It was getting dark already and the bright lights of the fair were on and lighting the way to each and every attraction. All except for the place Brayden was dragging her to. Despite her promises to him, she was getting dangerously nervous as they got to the back areas of the fair, especially this soon after dusk. “Where are we going?” Veronica
of a city. Yelling and loud thumps resonated through the building from the apartments above. I adjusted my winter coat and mentally prepared myself for the hellish crime ridden streets of Brooklyn. I tugged on the door handle again, the stupid thing was still stuck. Rubbing my hands together for alittle warmth I got a good grip on the handle and leaned back, putting all of my weight into one final heave. The rusty hinges snapped loose and the heavy door flung open, smashing me in the face. Blood
