A dark haze filled the night air. Happy birthday to me, Mist thought as she slipped through the abandoned street. It was an hour past curfew and if you were anyone else you wouldn’t dare to creep around in the night, but Mist wasn’t anyone else. Her misty blue hair and unique black attire was known all along the land. People feared Mist but they also respected her. Although her father, Captain Hook, who feared little boys and stayed hidden in his broken down boat, was a laughing stock, her tough exterior and excellent skills with a sword brought her reputation up. When Mist was younger, before her father went completely crazy, he used to spend hours among the broken down ship deck teaching Mist the art of swordfighting. That was the only thing she ever thanked her father for otherwise she couldn’t care less how much longer he lived. Mist’s manipulating, deceitful, and downright evil reputation helped her among the little land they called Miscreant. Two people outranked her on Miscreant. Baba Yaga and her son. But since no one had ever seen Baba Yaga’s son, Mist had no competition in the villain department. Baba Yaga ruled over the villainess crowd and was the most feared thing on the island. Not human, no one quite knew what she was. The only time …show more content…
Steam was erupting from his ears. His mother was Hecate, the witch, and although he didn’t inherit any magic, whenever he was angry steam came out of his ears and nose which Mist thought was hilarious. Whisking the steam away with his hand and quickly changing his face back to amusement Ace asked, “What trouble are you getting into now ?” Mist grinned, her blue eyes twinkled in the night and not for the first time Ace was glad she didn’t think of him as an enemy. Those eyes were filled with their own magic and Mist didn’t even know it. Her eyes were so enchanting she could convince anyone, especially of the opposite gender, to do her
... smell and she finally realizes she is “in the presence of God” (247). These effects make her calm down and start to pray and confess her “sins” although “mechanically”: “Hep me not to be so mean…Hep me not to give her so much sass. Hep me not to talk like I do.” When the priest finally raises the monstrance “with the Host shining ivory-colored in the center of it” she is in turn reminded of the freak at the fair and what he said and the religious world and the world of the fair are mixed together in her mind.
In the first two lines, an aural image is employed to indicate a never-ending anger in the girl's father. Dawe uses onomatopoeia to create a disturbing and upsetting description of his enraged "buzz-saw whine." An annoying, upsetting sound, it gives the impression of lasting ceaselessly. His anger "rose /murderously in his throat." Because "murderously" begins on a new line, a greater emphasis is placed on it and its evil and destructive connotations. An image of a growling lion stalking its prey is evoked in the reader, as it threateningly snarls from its throat. The girl is terrified as it preys on her persistently "throughout the night." Furthermore, because there is no punctuation, these few lines are without a rest, and when reading out aloud, they cause breathlessness. This suggests that the father's "righteous" fury is ceaseless and suffocating the girl.
The tale of Sleeping Beauty which is told throughout Briar Rose is initially an innocent story told by a grandmother to her grandchildren. We soon realize that this is not the case and it is, in actuality, the events of the character Gemma's life compressed into a single tale. Gemma did this because the true tale, in all its glory, was far too brutal to tell any one, particularly her family. Yolen uses allegory predominantly in Gemma's rendition of Sleeping Beauty. This quote from Gemma's Sleeping Beauty "without further warning, a mist covered the entire kingdom" is an obvious reference to the toxic gas used to slaughter millions of innocent people in the Nazi Germany ethnic cleansing regime.
The story “Royal Beatings” is a beautiful representation of a young girl’s view of the world around her. Munro uses vivid details to create a story and characters that feel real. She draws the reader in and allows the reader to understand Rose through her poignant words about her life. Then, in the end, enables the reader to make the connections that Rose perhaps misses. “Royal Beatings” is not about any particular moment in Rose’s life or any certain action related to the reader. The story is, in fact, not about plot at all. It is instead about creating characters with a sense of verisimilitude and humanity while revealing “all their helplessness and rage and rancor.”
Untouched and unhindered, he continued on a path, not yet discovered, towards the unknowing Prince Prospero. Although he had a slow pace, he made an unexplainable distance in a small amount of time. Some masqueraded man from the retreating group grew enraged and curious of this mysterious man. He ran up to the figure and placed a hand on his mask with the intent to tear it off of the ghostly man. The moment he laid his hand upon the mask, he screamed in agony and pain. Then, unable to pull his hand or the mask free, his fate was sealed. His scream withered away along with his final breath, as he turned old and crumpled onto the lustrous floor in a pile of black ash. Silence and absolute stillness filled the room before a wine glass, half full of a red drink, descended from the whitley g...
Her pale, bloated face wore an expression of imbecile happiness. Every now and then her eyelids closed, and for a few seconds she seemed to be dozing. Then with a little start she would wake up again杦ake up to the aquarium antics of the Tennis Champions, to the Super-Vox-Wurlitzeriana rendering of "Hug me till you drug me, honey," to the warm draught of verbena that came blowing through the ventilator above her head-would wake to these things, or rather to a dream of which these things, transformed and embellished by the soma in her blood, were the marvellous constituents, and smile once more her broken and discoloured smile of infantile contentment.
The sniper stared at his brother’s dead body. Remorse fell throughout his whole body and all of his senses numbed. As the morning sun started to glimmer through the sky, he looked up and laughed. His remorse laugher turning into tears as his senses started to work out what happen. He cursed everything, the war, himself, his memories, anything he could. The sniper question himself, ” Why? This is what war should be like and I have done this to a million others, but why does this one painfully death pains so much?”
Her 2 step sisters and step mother were very jealous of the young girl. They took away all of her beautiful clothes and made her wear an old dirty dress and wooden shoes. However, the story later reveals that beauty comes from within. The climax of the story is when the King sponsored a 3 days Ball for the Prince. The King invited all the young ladies to the Ball in hopes the Prince should find a wife. Ashputtle wanted to go but her evil step-mother say no because Ashputtle was dirty and had nothing to wear. However, “Ashputtle” called on her angels to help her. The doves and all the birds from the heavens covered her with a beautiful dress and shoes for the Ball. The turtledoves helped her finish all of her work. Ashputtle was protected and watched by the angels and her mother.The plot of the story took place in the home of Ashputtle and the city in which she lived. There were many symbols, metaphors and similes in the story. The doves, hazel tree and the sprigs all represented angels and protection for Ashputtle. The tree was a place of calmness and solitude. A place where Ashputtle could pray and talk to her mother, angels and God. The irony of the story is Ashputtle was the
The young woman’s name was Kira. She was the pride and joy of the Takanashi Clan who were now being savagely attacked. As a female blademaster of great skill, news of her talent had spread far and wide and the Takanashi Clan gained a lot of attention from the neighbouring clans who looked on with jealousy but didn’t have the courage to take action.
A crooked smile came to her face, her head slightly dropped to the side, her right shoulder dropped with it. “I know that, I can’t help it Mother Gothel.” She shrugged her shoulders a little, she crossed her left arm over her body. “It's like my mind just pictured them and my had just paints it.” She stated with a slight nod, her voice soft. “Oh, Mother.” she perked up a little, she straightened her head. “I don’t think that will happen anytime soon.” Or at least she hoped it wasn’t going to. “The Lanterns are amazing, I love the way the float around.” She extended her hand out, making waving motions with it. “It's so beautiful and the way the night sky looks when all of them are released is beautiful.” A smile quickly spreading across her
Within the mist, a grave lays undisturbed peacefully. In the distance, a chuckle sounds throughout the cemetery. Piercing the mist, a skeletal hand reaches out and the rest of the body follows soon after. Wearing a cloak, the figure waves his hand, conjuring an ancient bone shovel. Using his powers, the skeleton utilizes the shovel without touching the tool to carve out the dirt and reopens the coffin to the world. Long decayed completely, a civil war casualty rests peacefully. Not fooled by the corpse, the being grasps the soldier’s hand, and a wispy substance flows from the soldier’s corpse to the cloaked being. With the loss of this wispy substance, the soldier disintegrates. With a malevolent chuckle, the dread lord reburies the coffin and floats away, leaving no trace of the dreadful event.
One afternoon, when the cold of the winter was starting to settle upon the edges of the village like a silent shadow, my brother left with Maura to the market for some groceries. Little Mathias was asleep in his bedroom, and I had already bored my mind off with no one to play with. Then I heard him. Paris had come into the room, barking mad as soon as he laid eyes on me. His loud howls hitting at my nerves like needles. I stood up warning him to be quiet, but he would not listen. I remember my temper suddenly slipping off. He was almost as big as me, but when I knelt down to scold him, accumulated anger in my eyes, I couldn’t stop myself. I wrapped my hands around his neck as he tried to run away and for a second all I saw was terror before I watched life drain out of his body. Maura and Toby arrived just minutes later to find me sobbing uncontrollably in the floor, not being able to look at the dead body a few feet away. The terrified expression in Maura's eyes and the bitterness underneath, still seem to haunt me, her thoughts clear to me as glass, monster. Besides that I cannot...
The roar of laughter shattered the air like glass as she hid her face in her hands and her first tear broke free. Followed by an uncontrollable stream of tears falling down one after another clouding her vision, her dark lashes brimmed with little crystal clear droplets of water streaming down from her honey-colored eyes rolling off her quivering lips. The sobs punched through, ripping through her muscles, bones, and guts as she sat adjacent to the window, counting each rhythmic drop of rain that hit the saturated ground forming small puddles. Darkened gray smudges of wool threateningly surrounded the sky; like a predator encircling its prey. A startling low rumble ruffled the tranquil breeze as the sky roared with satisfaction. The grape-like
Snowball frantically turned, looking for Mollie. Again, she was late to her shift and was slacking off on the farm.
It was witching hour. The female’s heavy breathing was breaking the silence of the night. She could hear the thundering, rambunctious footsteps of the lingering creature. Trying to be as silent as the darkness, she laid awake. Eyes wide open, praying to the gods that she’d make it through the night. Suddenly, she felt something lay gently on her shoulder. Her eyes enlarged, for her daughter’s hands were not that massive. She rolled over. A piercing scream disturbed the whole village.
