Untitled Story
602 Words2 Pages
I swing my legs back and forth as I sit in a tree in District 2, listening in on the conversation below me. When I decide that I'm uncomfortable, I adjust my position as quietly as I can, but the branch that supports me makes a loud noise nonetheless. The next thing I know, I'm on the ground, feeling sore from the impact, and the two, along with a bow, are leering down at me.
“Hi,” I say, then laugh nervously. “Sorry for falling on the ground and interrupting your conversation. You see, I was sitting in that tree, listening to you two, and then the tree decided that I was too fat, so it dropped me.” They continue staring at me, and I don't really understand why. I tilt my head quizzically, and begin standing up.
“Do I know you from somewhere?” Katniss asks, lowering her bow slightly. Gale, the other half of the conversation, turns his attention from me to Katniss, then shifts it back to me.
“Yes, you do,” I respond. They look at me expectantly, obviously expecting more information. “Oh, you want to know why you recognize me. Well, for starters, I'm from District 12. I was in the g...

Short stories
1144 Words | 3 PagesThe 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.”
Single Story Essay
1355 Words | 3 PagesIn 2009 Chimamanda Adichie gave a TED talk about the ‘danger of a single story’. A single story meaning, one thought or one example of a person becoming what we think about all people that fit that description, a stereotype if you will. In today’s America, I believe that we have all felt the wave of stereotypical views at some point or another. Adichie gives many relatable examples throughout her life of how she has been affected by the single story. Her story brings about an issue that all humans, from every inch of the earth, have come to understand on some level. A young child reading only foreign books, a domestic helper that she only perceived as poor. Her college roommates single story about Africans and her own formation of a single
