Recommended: Mrs mallard story

On Tuesday night the fans of “NCIS” were surprised with a flashback episode looking at Dr. Donald “Ducky” Mallard’s choices three decades ago. The unique story gave fans quite a bit of new information about the good doctor’s decision to come to America and shared how he made some swift decisions before working at NCIS. The NCIS team took on their latest case as a Navy Captain’s death, who took a rideshare car home, was discovered under unusual circumstances. The victim never made it back to his home and found dead only five blocks away from kissing his daughter goodnight for the evening. The connection of Dr. Mallard to the killing has fans intrigued. The Navy man had Mallard’s mother’s old address and he was actually seen at the residence …show more content…

What was surprising was who really was planting information on the captain and why. The son-in-law of the victim actually was using his name and information to move information for cash. An easy way to stay out of the shadow, somewhere along the way the captain realized what was happening and took matters into his own hands. As Dr. Mallard continues to search out all the details, he reflects on all the decisions of the past. One in particular, telling a suitor to leave his mother after finding he was a con-artist has haunted him for decades. Thinking the man was her soulmate, Ducky’s mom was single for years after coming to America. What he learned from reading her diary (and the fans learned too) was that she did find love again and lived a happy, healthy life after moving to America. While Agent Gibbs is looking for a killer, he’s still trying to get Senior FBI Agent T.C. Fornell out of his home. Recovering from being shot, Fornell’s daughter puts a plan in action to make Fornell move from Gibbs’ home and return to her house for the holiday. Introducing termites to Gibbs’ home, everyone has to leave for the holidays as the house needs to be exterminated. Leaving Fornell no choice but to go home, he gets a surprise at the end of the episode too as Gibbs has to move in with him until all the bugs are

  • Philip Malloy Nothing But The Truth

    744 Words  | 2 Pages

    The main character, Philip Malloy, the fourteen-year-old protagonist is a talented runner and an average student who tends to says things that are irrelevant (especially when he’s in school). He releases his frustrations in homeroom and English class through small acts against his teacher, Mrs. Narwin. My opinion of Phillip Malloy is that he is a lazy jerk who, throughout the story, lies and lies, developing into a liar—but the lies eventually comes back to bite him. The reason I call him a jerk is because he shows great disrespect toward his English teacher, Ms. Narwin, purposely even though she has nothing against him. I say Phillip is lazy because he doesn’t want to do the extra work to raise his grade so he can make the track team—he decides

    The movie does not provide enough evidence to be one hundred percent sure about where her mom is, it is certain that she is not physically with Hushpuppy. Not being physically together does not mean they cannot have a relationship. In the article written by Frank Zenere “How Children Cope With Trauma and Ongoing Threat: The Basics Ph Model Information for Parents and Teachers” he states that “Children frequently turn their creativity as means of coping with trauma.” Not having a mother figure is a trauma Hushpuppy has to deal with, and it is obviously not easy to overcome. Every person on the phase of the earth knows how important a mother is for each individual. There are, of course, people who have not had the privilege to have met one in their entire lives. Hushpuppy deals with this trauma by pretending her mom is still with her, she imagines dialogues and also has a sculpture which she pretends is her mother. In the script of this film, there is evidence saying that “Marietta, Hushpuppy 's imaginary, invisible mamma, is speaking from the basketball jersey chair. Marietta functions like an imaginary friend- Hushpuppy is the only one who can see her.”

    Analysis of Hemingway’s Narrative Technique as a Short- Story Writer. For many years, the narrative technique of Hemingway has been under debate. Writers before him had already achieved works that bear the characteristics of the modern short story, and many of their works could stand today, with those of Hemingway and of writers like Faulkner, as representative short stories of modern times. What distinguishes Hemingway both from his predecessors and from his contemporaries, however, is the theory he produces to deal with the challenge of spatial limitation which every short story writer has to face: how can he say more than his space actually allows him to say?
