H. T. Chandler: A Fictional Narrative
Chandler probably jumped right on that handshake thing. Right away, certainly. He even might have mentioned something about it to Weismann during their conversation. Probably something like OCD, suspected antisocial behaviour. Maybe the man even had mentioned his suspicion that Sebastien was either repressing or holding something back. Whatever it was, but it seemed to be one of Chandler's concerns. So obvious, wasn't it? Or maybe not. Things were not always what they seemed to be, some individuals just didn't take this into consideration. And others saw what they wanted to see. The mind and the soul were such a wide field, were they not?

However - Sebastien's handshake had been firm and confident, as it would be expected from a young and

Had it been on purpose? Maybe one of those small things that hinted at the young mans reluctance to be here in the first place? Who's to say. He turned, however, after a faint, barely audible grunt, only to watch the older man go through the records and pour himself a drink a moment later. The amber liquid flowing into the glass captured his attention momentarily, and there even was a fleeting hint of a smile on the young mans lips, in response to Weismann's offer. "Thank you." he murmured, his gaze still fixed on the amber liquid. 'If I refuse the offer he will have an opinion. If I accept it, he will have one, too. Shit.' See the dilemma he was in? Whatever he would do, it will tell the doctor something about him. Maybe more than he wanted him to know. "Maybe later." Being here in the first place was unsettling and he couldn't ever tell why it unsettled him to such a degree. This was not normal, was it? It almost was as if a part of his mind was screaming. 'Get the fuck out of here, Sebastien. You know you want to. You know you need to.' And still, he did not adhere to those internal …show more content…
Not to mention interesting. Quite different to what he had been used from Chandler and Harrington before. Both had those overstuffed bookshelves in their counselling offices, filled with knowledge, trivial or not. It was almost a shame that Dr. Harrington was dead now. She was such a nice person. "If I am not being judged, analyzed or deconstructed - what am I?" Sebastien asked, finally, having moved from near the desk to the shelves with the records at a slow pace that seemed nothing but controlled. He listened to the older man speak about requirements and Chandler, and he nodded his head once before he spoke. "Dr. Chandler merely told me that..." A pause. A breath. A much needed one or else he would have used words he shouldn't have. "...he merely said that we do not speak the same language and that he does not think that he can... help me." oh yes, there was that pause while his gaze set on the

He was sitting on the big wing-backed sofa curled into the bay window like a black and giant seashell.

    An dining hall containing no more or less than the necessities for a comfortable dinner, materializes seemingly out of nothing. Enter Jean-Jacques Rousseau, 18th century counter-enlightenment luminary; Charles Darwin, 19th century naturalist; Karl Marx, 19th century political philosopher; and Sigmund Freud, 20th century neurologist and founder of psychoanalytic theory. No one is alarmed that four influential thinkers whose lifetimes span over two centuries are meeting for an inexplicable dinner as they were in their intellectual prime. The wall lights autonomously dim as the fire roars despite itself, as the scene exits the whirling depth of the insubstantial and enters the tactile, at least for the authors……

    In the first paragraph, Cooper expresses his infatuation with his ninth-grade classmate Theresa Sanchez. Every week he evaluates with curiosity the new books she hides under her copy of Today’s Equations and he is intrigued with the fact that she is more mature than everybody else. However, as the reader moves through the body paragraphs, the subject shifts from Theresa to Cooper’s personal experiences with his friends. Cooper intentionally organizes the essay between the two characters to show contrast, to keep the reader entertained and interested, and to also provide the reader with consistency while reading the essay. Even though Cooper jumps back and forth between characters, it is effective because interchanging between the two characters keeps the reader entertained and at ease. Behind his writing, Cooper retells the untold story of every boy who has ever had trouble accepting their selves.…
