Elkton: A Short Story
In Elkton,Virginia I made a huge mistake of walking around outside barefoot. It was about midday when I stepped on a large piece of glass. I didn’t noticed at that time until I felt stinging on my left foot. I ran inside my trailer to wake my mom from sleeping. She wouldn’t get up so I ran outside because I was freaking out and didn’t know what to do. I had to take matters in my own hands since I didn’t know what to do, my mom was sleeping and my dad was at work. I decided to put shoes on to stop the bleeding.I figured that would stop the bleeding because I seen on it on a cop show on television. Me putting on shoes to stop the bleeding didn’t work out as I thought it would. After I put my shoes on I started to walk around the trailer park.

    An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge: Film VS. Short Story

    When it comes to choosing whether or not to read the text along with the film, most would recommend reading the story first for “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge”. While the film had a mostly accurate portrayal of the story, one would need to read the text for the entire account. Although, the main character was believable as he made the reader or viewer sympathetic towards him. With flashbacks to his family, one could almost be empathetic with thoughts of losing someone. The use of camera angles was very effective. During the grand escape, they shot a majority of the shots at a high angle to show how helpless he was, at the mercy of the river. At times, the music could be a bit distraction. For example, when he first escaped, they played the song “Livin’ Man” and it was a bit strange. But at other times, the music helped to add intensity or emotion to the scenes when words could not.…

    Free Narrative Essays: The Scio Township Hall

    The Scio Township Hall was nearly silent when I entered. There were only a man and a woman sitting at a table on the one side of the meeting room. I was about to ask if I was in the right place, but before I could open my mouth, the woman greeted me and introduced herself as a member of the Land Preservation Commission (LPC). One by one, other commissioners started to trickle in, smoothly joining in on the conversation about ordinances presented at the Board meeting a few days prior. I wondered if I was supposed to just catch on. After a solid twenty minutes of casual talk, Alec Jerome, the Land chair, finally called to order. Roll call was conducted and the following commissioners were present: Archer Christian (secretary), Jim Crowfoot, Alec Jerome, David Read, and Barry Lonik (consultant to Commission), and one relatively new member. Apologies were received from Leslie Desmond and Bruce Manny. I was the only member of the public in attendance. Then the agenda was adopted and the May meeting minutes were approved.…

    Personal Narrative: Worn Ridell Skate

    I was out on the rink speed skating in Arnold, Mo. That day had been perfect, I got a job, got an A+ on my final exam, and now I was skating. Everything at the rink was just fine till they closed the child rink and turned it into something that would make more money. I was speed skating when I came around the corner and instantly was greeted by a child falling in front of me. With no time to think I jumped, and when I landed, I landed hard on my skates stomping trying to regain my balance, bending my axle. Basically breaking my right skate, when I finally regained my balance I exited the floor mad and in a moment of rage.…

    Ugly, Beautiful Shoes

    So there I was, on time, walking down the long, dim hallway toward the kitchen. I was dressed in my room service work attire, a white shirt, black vest, bowtie, and pants. But one essential item was absent: those ugly shoes that I hate. The hotel’s policy required employees to wear the proper company shoes. Failure to do so would result in a write-up or termination. My supervisor did not care for me much, so I automatically assumed the worst. I began to panic; I could not breathe. I became anxious and, vivid scenarios of defeat danced around in my head like an old slide show. I did not have time to go home to get the shoes. Every step seemed like an eternity, as if I were trapped within an infinity mirror which prolonged my anguish. Doubt and fear set in as I provokingly questioned God about his ability to deliver me. I imagined the fat lady on stage, deeply inhaling, and preparing to sing. Suddenly my…
