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 …show more content…

She didn’t believe she asked for much, and if she really did she never asked for something on daily bases. She would wait until she ran out of almost everything she had. She noticed Gothel's eyes darting from wall to, she knew what she was thinking. She was thinking this girl better not go crazy and start paint all over the walls within the apartment. Rapunzel knew better, she wasn’t going to just paint all over the place. She had tried that once when she was younger, Gothel had put an end to it and Rapunzel never tried to do it again. She started to jump up and down in place. “I think I need all the colors, I want to paint something magical.” Her head lightly nodding, her eyes shined with excitement. She shrugged her shoulders lightly. “I like reading, it's fun to get lost in a book.” She stated in a soft voice, since her Mother never allowed her to leave it was the best way to …show more content…

The books are wonderful, they help me in so many ways.” She stated with a slight head nod. It was true, she did get all of her ideas for the master pieces she painted from the books she read. A slight smile came to her face, she turned her head from side to side. Looking at Gothel’s hands upon her shoulders, she took that as a sign she no longer wanted her to be the hyper, energetic young woman she was. She inhaled a deep breath, closing her eyes as she exhaled the breath. She steadied herself, casting away all of the energy she had built up. “I do not wish to get hurt.” She opened her eyes and looked at her mother, her head slightly tilting towards the side. “That would be awful.” She stated with a soft voice. When she no longer felt the weight of her mother’s hands on her shoulder, she muttered out a slight sigh. She leaned forward a little towards her, her arms slowly reached out towards her. “But I won't… I know how to act around other people.” She muttered out, she brought her hands to fall back down beside her body. She really didn’t know how to act around people, the only thing she knew about being around other people was what she read in books. “I really promise not to attract attention from anyone.” She pleaded with

    “It was a large, beautiful room, rich and picturesque in the soft, dim light which the maid had turned low. She went and stood at an open window and looked out upon the deep tangle of the garden below. All the mystery and witchery of the night seemed to have gathered there amid the perfumes and the dusky and tortuous outlines of flowers and foliage. She was seeking herself and finding herself in just such sweet half-darkness which met her moods. But the voices were not soothing that came to her from the darkness and the sky above and the stars. They jeered and sounded mourning notes without promise, devoid even of hope. She turned back into the room and began to walk to and fro, down its whole length, without stopping, without resting. She carried in her hands a thin handkerchief, which she tore into ribbons, rolled into a ball, and flung from her. Once she stopped, and taking off her wedding ring, flung it upon the carpet. When she saw it lying there she stamped her heel upon it, striving to crush it. But her small boot heel did not make an indenture, not a mark upon the glittering circlet.

    “All right, but you said we had to put emotion into our art. I don’t know what that means. I don’t know what I’m supposed to feel.”(p122). This quote is from the third marking period when Melinda was talking to her art teacher, Mr. Freeman. I believe she wouldn’t have said anything had it been earlier in the year.

    Her classmates yelled for her to come back, but she was no longer interested in what they had to say. She ran as fast as she could, to get away from it all.

  • Lady In A Rocking Chair

    She remembered attending her first day of school when she was a young child. Everything was so unfamiliar to her; new faces, new voices, a whole new world she could then discover on her own, without her mother holding her hand. Unfortunately the fun she expected to have did not go as she could have hoped. It was a seldom occurrence for anyone to ask her to play with them. She spent most of the school day in seclusion quietly playing in the corner with an array of plastic blocks. At certain points she just wanted to cry or go back home to the warm, loving arms of her mother; that is where she felt safe and shielded from the evil of the world. Somehow, no matter how bad her day had gone, her mother could always make it all go away with a soft kiss to the cheek and a gentle pat on the bum. She would always pack a nutritious lunch for her to take to school. There was something about the way a mother makes a sandwich that makes it taste so much better than when you try to make it yourself, maybe it’s because it’s made w...

    For a moment she wondered who he really was, where he came from, what he did by day—or by night, presumably. Her familiarity with popular fiction had thus far inhibited her from discovering the true effects of the sun on her kind; prolonged periods in the light would weaken her, but she wouldn't petrify and flake away into ashes like innumerable representations of Count Dracula. She wondered too what he intended to do with her, and when, but her wariness was such that she was quick to take advantage of him letting her leave. She nodded a series of short, quick

As a young girl, the park was my favourite place to go. One cold winter’s night just like tonight as I looked upon the dark sky, I had decided to go for a walk.

    Clera couldn’t help but to smile at her father’s light-hearted words and cheerful tone. Closing and locking her diary, Clera followed her dad out of her bedroom into the brightly lit kitchen. Clera had always loved the floor-to-ceiling windows in the kitchen that allowed natural light to diffuse throughout the vibrant room. Chris always used his free time at home to find a new way to improve the penthouse.
