Once upon a time there was a kid named Alfred. Alfred was in the 3rd grade and he loved playing on the schools playground at lunch. Alfred was kind of an awkward fella and he had no friends. The kids made fun of him every single day.
One time Alfred was playing on the playground enjoying himself when a group of bully’s came up to him and started making fun of him because playing on the playground was lame. So Alfred just ignored them and kept playing on the playground. Alfred decided he wanted to do the monkey bars to show the bully’s he was cool. So he started doing the monkey bars and when he got to the middle he got nervous that he was gonna slip and fall. The bully’s started making fun of him that he couldn’t get across the monkey bars

After the teacher was done laughing she told the bully’s to go away and she told Alfred to just let go of the monkey bars and fall down because she didn’t want to touch a kid who peed in his pants. So Alfred trusting his teacher let go of the monkey bars and fell down and broke his leg. The teacher couldn’t hold back and started laughing so hard she was crying. Alfred started crying because he had a broken leg, he had peed his pants, the teacher was laughing and he had been getting bullied. When the teacher realized Alfred was crying she stopped laughing and told Alfred it was going to be ok. The teacher knew she had to get Alfred inside the school so they could get him to the hospital but she didn’t want to touch him because he had peed his pants. So the teacher made Alfred drag himself all the way inside the school and to the main office where he could call his mom to come get him. As soon as Alfred made it to the main office he started crying even harder because he had brought even more damage upon his broken leg that the bone had pierced the skin and was sticking out. When the principal saw that …show more content…
Alfred called his mom in from the kitchen and when she came in to the living room where he had been asleep he looked at her and said “you don’t even do yoga!” and she said “honey I know I just didn’t wan’t you to ruin my seats with your pee” and Alfred was so angry with his mom that he peed on the couch right in front of her. Now this couch was a 15,000 dollar couch that he had just peed on. Alfred’s mom was so angry that she got in her car and drove off. When Alfred’s father got home and saw that he peed on the couch he figured Alfred couldn't make it to the toilet because of his leg so he just peed right there on the couch. So Alfred's father took Alfred and changed his pants and said son let’s go to Mcdonalds. So when they got to Mcdonalds they ordered the food and ate and Alfred was very sad because he couldn’t go play on the playground. All of the sudden the bully’s walked into Mcdonalds with their parents and when they saw Alfred they started making fun of him for peeing his pants and breaking his leg. Alfred started crying and all of the parents started laughing at him. When Alfred saw that all the parents were laughing at him (except for his dad) he peed his pants again. Alfred’s dad was like oh crap and to

His voice rose under the black smoke before the burning wreckage of the island; and infected by that emotion, the other little boys began to shake and sob too. And in the middle of them, with filthy body, matted hair, and unwiped nose, Ralph wept for the end of innocence, the darkness of man’s heart, and the fall through the air of the true, wise friend called Piggy (Golding, 290).
Bruno is getting really upset that he can no longer see his friends or his grandparents. He is stuck in his house and can’t explore as much as he would like because there is no one to explore with. He notices something out his window one day, a large fenced in area with little tiny dots moving. He asks his sister and maid Maria what they are but they don’t know. He decides one day that he is going to explore the fenced in area, so he leaves when no one is looking and explores it for about two hours walking up and down the fence looking for something. Finally he comes across I boy about the same size of him so he goes up and talks to him. The boy’s name is Shmuel and they are the same age. Bruno learns that he is stuck behind the fence and has nothing to wear but the striped pajamas. Bruno doesn’t understand why he is there but is told how awful it is behind the fence.
Children have often been viewed as innocent and innocent may be a nicer way to call children naive. Since children’s lives are so worry free they lack the knowledge of how to transition from being a child to becoming an adolescent. Their lack of knowledge may be a large part of their difficulties growing up, which could be a few rough years for many. In books like the boy in the striped pajamas the story is told from the point of view of a little boy, this way we get a full view of how innocent he is. In this book the writer shows the reader first hand how a child viewed the holocaust and how his innocence cost him his life. Then in books like the perks of being a wallflower Charlie is a teen whom is struggling with the transition from being a child to becoming an adolescent. In this book the writer gives a first hand look at how difficult it can be to transition into an adolescent. Charlie has many difficulties in this book; he is in search of his identity and how to fit in.
In the short story “Just Lather, That’s All” by Hernando Tellez, the barber says little yet he is shown to be a complex character. The story is about the owner of a male haircut place. The male hair stylist has secretly become an informant for a band of rebels. When a violent/difficult military captain asks for a shave, the barber must decide whether to kill the captain or let him go. In the end, he decides he doesn't want blood on his hands. The barber is clever, patient and caring.
The short stories “The Snows of Kilimanjaro” and “The Short Happy Life of Francis Mocomber” were both written by world renowned author Ernest Hemingway. The two stories are written completely unrelated to each other; however, both stories have vast similarities in the time and place in which they take place. Hemingway is a writer that is very methodical in his word choices. When reading these two stories a second time the reader finds considerable differences in the writing style the author uses in each story. To demonstrate, three sentences from each story will be compared and contrasted to show the differences in word usage, word connotation, and to find which story is written better. The initial pair of these sentences to be looked at are, “A fourth planed down, to run quick-legged and then waddle slowly toward the others,” from the short story “The Snows of Kilimanjaro,” and “On the far bank of the stream Macomber could see, above the trees, vultures circling and plummeting down,” from the story “The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber.” The subsequent couple of sentences are “’You Bitch,’ he said,” from the “Snows of Kilimanjaro” and “’Why not let up on the bitchery just a little, Margot,’ Macomber said, cutting the eland steak and putting some mashed potato, gravy and carrot on the down-turned fork that tined through the piece of meat.” Finally, the third set of sentences are “She shot very well this good, rich bitch, this kindly destroyer of his talent,” from the story “Snows of Kilimanjaro” and “’That was a good shot,’ Wilson said,” from the story, “A Short Happy Life.”
We got into the “boat” that you ride, and it started up the ramp to the top. When we got to the top, we slid down really fast, it was awesome! At the end of the ride, the boat hits the water and sends up a huge spray getting everyone wet.
"And then I woke up."Thus goes the kind of "trick ending" that every first year writing student is told to avoid, a mark of cheap theatrics and poor craftsmanship.Historically, this kind of ending is often associated with Guy de Maupassant, the prolific French writer of the 19th century, or his 20th century American heir apparent, O. Henry (William S. Porter).In this well researched and at moments insightful book, Richard Fusco argues that Maupassant's bad rap as first and foremost the inventor and disseminator of the "trick ending" is undeserved.What Fusco feels Maupassant does deserve is recognition as perhaps the single most important influence on American short story writers of the late 19th and early 20th century, particularly Ambrose Bierce, Kate Chopin, Henry James, and of course O. Henry.However, even as Fusco's readings of these writers are laudable in their thoroughness (with the exception of his treatment of O. Henry), his overall argument seems finally too dependent on an understanding of "trick ending" which does not make necessary distinctions, and is therefore superficial enough to accommodate nearly any writer one cares to name.
Have you ever dreamt of your dream house? Have you ever wanted to invest in the stock market? Have you ever dreamt of winning a large sum of money in a short time? If so, I strongly advise you to read the short story ‘Paper’. In the story, Tay Soon and his wife dreamt of owning a big house so they tried their best to collect their money to buy it. As the stock market was growing interest at that time, they decided to invest some money in the market so as to pay their house. Luckily, they won the money for their house in the market. However, they were so greedy that they continued investing in the market. The market crash came and they lost all their money. Because Tay Soon could not accept it, he went mad. Finally, the madness drove him to death and his mother decided to build a paper house which he had dreamt before. In ‘Paper’, Catherine Lim uses irony to admonish people not to be greedy; otherwise, a person may lose his life and family.
Damn it! Samantha is starting to cry, but I don’t want to say that I’m sorry even though I probably should. I am sorry. Sort of sorry. Like so many things, I really don’t care. Sometimes, I think about going to see someone, sorting all of this shit out. There will always be a need for those people. People you pay hundreds of dollars to, just to tell you that you have abandonment issues and describe how you can’t really feel anything. Thanks, I know. Just the thought of going to one of those big looking offices and sitting in a waiting room with a bunch of other people with a bunch of other problems, pretending not to look at each other. And then it’s my turn to sit in front of a complete stranger and bitch and moan
The short story I have read is about how this young girl, her sister and her uncle would go out with the horses and try to find the cattle that may have headed to Gallup and if not then up to Ch'ooshgai Mountains. By that time, it’s noon and they get hungry so they all get out the spam and potatoes that their grandma has packed and later initial their names on the water tank and head back home. Getting closer to the home they stop by at a seven-to-eleven store to get cold sodas and a candy bar.
It was about one-thirty in the morning in the town of Homestead Michigan. The almost florescent light of the moon bouncing off the fresh puddles that covered the ground. The grass and trees were covered in a thin layer of water causing every little beam of light to reflect back up. Anyone who may have been outside at this time would have without double, smelled the mix of fresh dirt and night crawlers. As the moonlight started to fade away through the cloud cover, three buses made there way through the streets and parked in front of HHS, the local high school.
There was a girl named Kandy, she was 15 years old. Her life was extremely boring, all she ever did was go to school, go on her computer, eat and sleep. She spent all summer on her computer. She was really good with HTML and spent her free time making web sites. Kandy didn't have many friends and rarely talked to guys because she was shy and unconfident about her looks. That's why she went into chat rooms. She made a web site with pictures of herself on it and told people in chat rooms to go there. A lot of people would tell her how pretty she was and some would say she was ugly. That made her feel awful. When anyone would say anything nice to her, she wouldn't believe them and think that they were just making fun of her. She only had one real friend that she could talk to, her name was Ang.
The traditional short story is a genre of a prose. It is a fiction work that presents a world in the moment of an unexpected change. The traditional short story obeys some rules, such as the unexpected change and major events with detail. The modern short story is a revolution which is based on the traditional short story. In other words, if the traditional short story is in the first floor, the modern short story is in the second floor. Therefore, the modern short story still obeys some rules that the traditional short story obeys, and breaks some rules that the traditional short story obeys. One rule that the modern short story still uses is the unexpected change. The rules broken by the modern short story are that the major events are not detailed, and that the border between the real world and the fiction world. This paper first talks about the unexcepted change and uses the examples of “Eveline” and “The Open Window.” Then, this paper talks about major events with detail, and uses the examples of “Lottery,” “The Open Window” and “Hills Like White Elephants.” Finally, this paper talks about the meta-literary and the border between the real world and the fiction
