Civil War Narrative
Ryan's eyes were fixed to the rusted analog clock in a intense staring contest. Memorized by the constant tick tock, all other noise was drowned out. His peripheral revealing the scuffling of feet, and the bouncing of knees, all anxiously coping with the last couple minutes before summer break. His mind wandering over all the possibilities for the upcoming summer. Stomach filled with butterflies and sweaty hands shaking, he gladly witnessed the final bell, only to be trampled with pushing comrades in this fierce final battle.
Through the packed halls, Ryan noticed constant chatter consisting of the same words, dive...brook...crazy--man. Not putting the words together, he began to walk faster to his locker, weaving in and out of traffic,

    Analysis Of An Occurrence At Owl Creek Bridge

    The story opens with a monotone, disinterested description of the conditions of the execution. Technical language and military jargon are used to present simple facts. While giving readers a steady, unbiased view of the day, this section fails to present the emotional drama of the scene. The narrator presents an average perception of time, where conditions fail to provide reason for…

    6.1.2 FA Alternate Ending

    I ran out of the garage and towards the field. As I ran I thought to myself it can’t be the end of the season already has it? Once I found Roberto and Papa I saw they were sitting under a tree. I was trying to speak in between panting. I had never run so hard in my life. “Papa is is the end of the season already. I mean it has only been a month.” I said hastily. “I'm sorry but Sullivan can no longer pay us. We must move.” Papa sighed, “I'm sorry Francisco.” Roberto stayed silent and was looking down.I didn’t know how to respond just thinking about all that I would lose during this move saddened me. I no longer would be able to learn the trumpet, no longer be taught English, and I would lose a friend; Mr. Lema.…

    Narrative Essay: Weapons Of The Civil War

    I have to load a weapon? Oh no! Let’s see, first I have to get my cartridge out of the box. I really hate the taste of gunpowder in my mouth when I rip open the cartridge with my teeth. Then I have to pour that powder into the barrel of the gun. What next? Remove the rammer, ram the barrel to set the ammo, and then return the rammer. Then to prime the gun, I have to set my cap, and now I can finally fire a single shot. Am I really expected to remember to do all these steps, for every shot, while at the same time people are shooting at me? What about all the smoke and noise? The noise of the guns and people next to me screaming in pain, or breathing their last breath.…

    The Death Trap (My Sci-Fi Story)

    Thomas followed Hairy out the door and into the hallways of the college. They slowly walked to where the source of the sound came from. Inside a room, with a locked door. Hairy smoothed his hand on the wall, and located a key hanging on a nail. He slowly twisted the key and the door swung open. The sound had abruptly gone away. They backed off, as if expecting something to come running towards them. They were puzzled. The room had never been there. Inside was calamitous, like an explosion had occurred. Cobwebs sticked everywhere. Mossy cracked stone filled the floor, which the seats, desks, and shelves stood on, arranged in a messy way, the ripped books scattered everywhere. Hairy searched the light switch , but it wasn't in the room.…

    Passionate year

    Speed was very nervous as he took his seat on the dais at five to seven and watched the school straggling to their places. They came in quietly enough, but there was an atmosphere of subdued expectancy of which Speed was keenly conscious; the boys stared about them, grinned at each other, seemed as if they were waiting for something to happen. Nevertheless, at five past seven all was perfectly quiet and orderly, although it was obvious that little work was being done. Speed felt rather as if he were sitting on a powder-magazine, and there was a sense in which he was eager for the storm to break.…

    A Day to Remember

    I can still remember the day it like it was yesterday. The morning sun shone brightly on my eyelids. I rolled on to the right side of my bed. Wondering about the time, I stretched my arm to grasp a round alarm clock that used to woke me up every morning. I forced my eyes to wide open, focused them on the ugly round clock’s numbers and I knew I was late to go to school.…
