Makenzie's Short Story
Sunburns, ice cream, and family gatherings It's Memorial Day weekend, and room to walk freely on the Riverwalk in San Antonio, Texas is scarce. Makenzie and her family are searching for the line to buy boat ride tickets so they can tour the locale. The queue was too long for them to manage Rather than fighting the size of the line, Makenzie and her family ended up going to "I Scream U Scream" for ice cream. Once the boat ride ticket line dwindled down to a manageable size, Makenzie went to stand in a vacant spot so they could get tickets. While standing in the warm May heat,she spotted her good friend from high school, Ryan, dangling a fishing pole into the river. Because it had been a few years since she'd seen him, she made her way over …show more content…
Thirty minutes passed and they were finally stepping onto the tour boat As she sat in the front of the boat surrounded by unfamiliar faces, besides her family of course, Makenzie was still perplexed at why the police so brutally took her friend …show more content…
HIS NAME IS BILL!" "Who Ryan?" she asked. He began to explain that the guy in the cell beside him was named Bill At that moment it struck Makenzie's mind that Mr. Green's real dad's name is Bill Instead of going straight home, she decided to stop at the police station. She asks for information on Bill Green. They don't tell her much , but they tell her exactly what she needs."His son worked at Stephen F. Austin and wrote novels." She thanks them and leaves. It's about 6:00, Makenzie invites Ryan over for dinner. During their dinner, Makenzie flips on the TV. The news is on and it's talking about Bill Green. "He murdered his son. His son was a College Professor and a horror novelist." Makenzie and Ryan's eyes lock "The reason being is that Bill was working in his tree house that only his son and him go to. A certain screw was loose, he figured it out after his whole house came crashing to the ground. Since he and his son had been fighting he decided to end it for good" the TV continued "Well that's a dumb reason to kill your son" laughed

But, during the wedding reception tommy’s dad dies due to a sudden heart attack. After the funeral, the bank notifies the company that big tom had promises of a new loan for break pads, the key to his company. Doubting the future of the company without Big Tom, the bank seeks immediate payment of Callahan Auto's debts. In a move that surprises even himself, Tommy suggests a deal: Tommy will let the bank hold his inherited shares and house in exchange for the bank giving him time to sell enough orders for brake pads to prove the new division's viability. If he sells the brake pads by the deadline, the bank will grant the loan. The bankers agree, and set Tommy's goal at proven sales of 500,000 brake pads. The bankers remind Tommy that if he should fail, the bank will use their ownership stake to convince the board to sell the company. Tommy sets out on a cross-nation sales trip with his father's former assistant, Richard Hayden. Meanwhile, Beverly and Paul are shown kissing romantically. They are not mother and son, but married con artists with criminal records. Their plan to steal from Big Tom has paid off early.

To turn that into cash, she seeks a quick sale to self-described "auto parts king" Ray Zalinsky. On the road tommys quirky behaviors sort of push customers away from the company. These failures lead to tension between Tommy and Richard, which eventually escalates into a fight…

    1984-Short Story

    A shrill trumpet call had pierced the air. It was the bulletin. Victory. It always meant victory when a trumpet call preceded the news. He could hear just enough of what was issuing from the telescreen to realize that it had happened as he had foreseen. A vast seaborne armada secretly assembled. A sudden blow in the enemy’s rear. The white arrow tearing across the tail of the black. Under the table Winston’s feet made convulsive movements. He had not stirred from his seat, but in his mind he was running, swiftly running. He looked up again at the portrait of Big Brother. The colossus that bestrode the world. The rock against which the hordes of Asia dashed themselves in vain. Much had changed in him since that first day in the Ministry of Love,…

    A Short Story Of Lina

    The family benefits from Lina’s mother’s calmness by not having to worry as much. They were able to stay calm and pack up their belongings. Their mother’s calmness also prevents them from becoming scared. They did what the officers told them instead of rebelling. Yes, I consider Lina’s mother breaking the dishes an act of rebellion. She knew what they were going to do with the dishes if she did not break them. She loved her dishes and didn’t want the Nazi’s to use, sell, or profit from them. In my opinion, her reaction is appropriate. The Nazi’s did nothing to earn those items. She had the right to do break the dishes because they were coming to take away her and her family. She is trying to control the situation by breaking her china instead…
