Recommended: Negotiation strategies and their strengths and weaknesses

As I left the hospital for the third time this week, I was much happier than I came, having confirmed that the much talk of free treatment for the recent pipeline explosion was going to start this weekend. The cool august breeze was more lenient to my burns than yesterdays scorching sun. I had barely entered my room when Okoro, my next door neighbour knocked. “Doc how’re you doing, I hope the wounds are not as painful as before” he said as he entered. “Yes o, the medication is working but I still need surgery” “Duru left a note for you, he said he’ll be coming tomorrow to collect the money you owe him” I took the note from him and we talked further about business in the area and Landlord Troubles. After he left, I read the note; Duru wanted …show more content…

“Doc, you can run, but you can’t hide.” He began “… and you don’t even have the strength to run.” I was frustrated, had I half of my usual strength, I would have beaten him up. “Duru please, I am neither running nor hiding, I will come back and pay you.” He was about descending on me, when a Silver Toyota Camry pulled up just behind him; it was mistakably Alhaja’s car. This was more trouble than I can possibly handle. Alhaja came out from the back seat of the car along with three bulky men. She was very furious “that’s him” she yelled “that’s the drunkard who stole my money.” Duru immediately slummed to his knees “Alhaja please I didn’t steal from you, I’ll pay you once I get it from Doc here” he pleaded “Duru you are full of stories, you told me you needed money to take your sick mother to the hospital and you spent it all on drinks and gambling; is that not stealing.” I was just standing there watching the drama and keeping an eye on the bus. After listening to Duru’s story, Alhaja still didn’t bulge, she turned to me and back to Duru “Doc has nothing to do with my money, you were supposed to pay me three weeks ago,” she ordered the bulky men to beat him up and throw him into the trunk of the car. I looked up towards the bus, Doc has entered the

    After walking down a few blocks, she spotted her first victim. He was tall and slender, blonde hair and he was talking on a cell phone. Perfect, she thought. He looked like he was in a rush. He was already distracted by his phone, so Jada figured this would be a piece of cake. She smirked as she started towards him. In passing she ‘accidentally’ bumped his shoulder hard. At the same time, she slipped her hand into his coat pocket to check for a wallet or change.

  • The Use of Force

    As the story begins, the unnamed doctor is introduced as one who appears to be strictly professional. “Aas often, in such cases, they weren’t telling me more than they had to, it was up to me to tell them; that’s why they were spending three dollars on me.” (par. 3) The doctor leaves the first impression that he is one that keeps his attention about the job and nothing out of the ordinary besides stating his impressions on the mother, father and the patient, Mathilda. Though he does manage to note that Mathilda has a fever. The doctor takes what he considers a “trial shot” and “point of departure” by inquiring what he suspects is a sore throat (par. 6). This point in the story, nothing remains out of the ordinary or questionable about the doctor’s methods, until the story further develops.

    To tell you anything about this game, we must start from the beginning. It all started with a war. It was a war between humans and monsters. The humans wanted the monster’s land so they could expand and own everywhere. It is never told where this story takes place, but I have been told to assume it is in the Rockies. The monsters lost the war and were forced back into a mountain, where they were sealed away forever. Anyone could get in, but no one could get out. It was told there was a need for seven human souls in order to break the spell, and all the souls of the monsters in the underground and ruins would only equal to one soul. The humans had something the monsters didn’t, a thing called, “Determination”. Years passed and the underground evolved, making an entire world beneath the earth.

  • Why The Creature That Opened My Eyes Of Frankenstein

    The Creature That Opened My Eyes Sympathy, anger, hate, and empathy, these are just a few of the emotions that came over me while getting to know and trying to understand the creature created by victor frankenstein in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. For the first time I became completely enthralled in a novel and learned to appreciate literature not only for the great stories they tell but also for the affect it could have on someones life as cliché as that might sound, if that weren’t enough it also gave me a greater appreciation and understanding of the idiom “never judge a book by its cover.” As a pimply faced, insecure, loner, and at most times self absorbed sophomore in high school I was never one to put anytime or focus when it came time
