Tristen- Gilbert George-Sans “Los Angeles, was just struck by a small earthquake, and scientists are predicting more in your area,” the TV blared. The day was hot, and our building was humid. “It’s a beautiful day outside. On days like this, People like us should be playing games,” exclaimed Sans. “Pfft, who cares.” I answered, “ I’m gonna make myself a waffle.” All though my brother said that we aren’t your ordinary fresh-outta-highschool kind of guys. We own our “family business”, in which was given to us by our parents when they left Los Angeles. I turn on the new Wii U and walk away. “What’re we playin’ today?” Sans asked. “I was thinkin’ we could broadcast some Smash,” I explained. “Which one?” Sans lazily yelled. “The only one for the Wii U,” I said sarcastically. …show more content…
My brother hasn’t been the sharpest arrow in the quiver but he bought all our video games so I have to like him for one reason.I tell him that we are out of money on our account. He doesn't reply but starts giggling as I proceed to walk out the door. When I shut the door I hear the screech of Sans yelling. “OH MY GOD! THE WAFFLES ARE ON FIRE... AHHH!” I run back to the door to find no fire but Sans shoving my waffles in his face “THEY’RE SO HOT!” Sans says sarcastically with hot sauce and syrup flowing down his
In the journal diary of Elizabeth Trist, she is a Quaker who is married at the age of twenty-three to a British officer, Nicholas Trist. Nicholas being the fifth son of his family couldn’t inherit his family’s estate, leaving him to join the military and leave Elizabeth and his child. The timing during this era was a bit hard for Trist, her child, and her husband since the start of the revolutionary war started in 1775. This news doesn’t sit well for Trist and her husband since he is British. Later Trist’s husband traveled to secure some land, and Trist stayed behind with her son since it was too dangerous to travel due to the Revolutionary War.
In the story, "Trifles", a man named John Wright was supposedly murdered. The characters made some inferences that could possibly lead to Mrs. Wright murdering her husband. The facts stated that Mr. Wright was found to be hung by a rope tied around his neck. My inferences state that at the beginning of the story, Mrs. Wright too relaxed at the idea of her husband being dead. Mrs. Wright was laughing and was rocking back in her chair, turning herself away from Mr. Hale. If someone's husband was dead unexpectedly, a loving wife would more than likely be upset about it and would like to be involved with the investigation. Another inference of mine is that she wasn't active in the rest of the story to try to even help anyone try to discover who
Minnie Foster was once described as the belle of the ball. To look at her tonight for the first time you could see why. She carried herself with both an air of confidence and modesty at the same time. Her small eyes dominated her face. They did not look directly at you anymore though. Still, they seemed all knowing and experienced as if they were able to see and know secrets about you that you wish no one knew. Her slender peaked nose was no match for the full lips she had, lips that never uttered a sound and which have become as pale as her knuckles. Her lips were pierced shut protecting the thoughts in her head from falling out one by one to the hard flooring.
Whose side are you on? The men’s? Or the women’s? In “Trifles” by Susan Glaspell,

In Nanto, the area of the epicenter, almost all of the buildings collapsed. In Taichung, a close metropolis, many buildings collapsed or bent.

Life in the early 19th century was different then how it is nowadays because woman are less restricted than how they used to be back then. For instance, back them a woman could only dream of becoming the president of the United States. In the next elections Hilary Clinton is running for president because she has the right. Women have come a long way, but one thing that is not going to change is women helping each other. No matter what women are going to help each other, even if they have to go against their husband’s word. In the play “Trifles” written by Susan Glaspell women do not have as much freedom as they do nowadays. The thematic importance of “Trifles” demonstrates, how throughout the play, males criticizes woman, their wives perspective

Look, I would like him to die sooner than later then maybe I wouldn’t have to be responsible for financing this fine establishment.
To my belief, the author Susan Glaspell presented her play by bringing about the feminine theory of making women the main characters of the story. She was a woman and therefore I believe Susan wrote about women and the lives of women in her fiction novel. This is based upon my opinion of course. Susan sought to basically criticize men and basically tried to fore mention men as being scared of women empowerment and therefore restricted them to pre-determined roles in the story. The author narrated situations where men in their self-confidence and importance overlooked key details within the women of the story. The women of the story came out as exemplary where they upset the expectations of the story that was put on them by the general society. In the story women are often portrayed as key elements of the society, a fact that men seem unaware about (Macheski, 2001). In the story the author contrasts the differences in functions, that were undertaken by women and men in
A storm was current and a loud, booming sound was fructifying. Students were being corrupted with anxious thought of their homes being destroyed by the lightning. “Sit down in your seats!” the teacher exclaimed, as a school administrator wheeled in an old television on a cart.
My brother again, gives me this fake smile that was to show that he never knew about the little room. I am very angry now, but I do not know what to do. I didn't want him to know that I knew that there was a little room behind the piano. I watch as he shoves the piano into the wall, my dream playhouse destroyed.
