Short Story: The Good Samaritans
Four year-old Helena is lucky to be alive. One year ago, she was submerged in a pond for 10 minutes when a car she was riding in crashed into the water. Helena's mother, Chasity White, stated that the accident happened after she turned her head for one second to look at a picture her daughter had drawn. Chasity realized that she was getting ready to go off the road, so she swerved. The car then plunged into the water.

Fortunately, there were many good Samaritans by, including Sherry Jackson. Chasity managed to get out of the car, but Helena was still trapped in the car. Sherry, Sheriff Bryan Bailey and William Banks helped get Helena out of the car. It took 10 minutes to get Helena out because they had problems unfastening her car seat.

    Analysis of the Short Story Floating

    The woman the author portrays in “Floating” is married. I believe that this woman has a husband who loves her very much; he takes care of her and makes sure that she is alright. Her husband also loves her very much, “I married a nice responsible man who loved me”(303). I think that the woman in “Floating” was pregnant and being pregnant and having a baby was one of the happiest things that had ever happened to her. This woman considers pregnancy a gift, “I wonder if he knows about the baby, the other miracle” (303). This woman unfortunately had a miscarriage. In the beginning of the story the author tells us of the morning the woman discovered the baby outside, I believe that the author is telling us of the morning she miscarried, “She had been crying for two days straight and had survived”(302). This baby…

    Vera Claythorne Essay

    Vera Claythorne is a physical education teacher, looking after a little boy named Cyril. Cyril's uncle's name is Hugo. Vera Claythorne and Hugo fell in love. However, there was one thing that got in the way of their marriage, money. Hugo didn't have enough money to get married and support a family. Vera thought she had a plan to solve the problem. For the past couple of days Cyril would say to her "Can I swim out to the island, Mrs. Claythorne? Why can't I swim out to the island?" Vera thought that she could tell Cyril he could swim out to the island, and then she would act as though she never knew that he had left her sight. Just when Cyril is about to drown she would act like she was swimming to save him. Once Cyril died, Hugo would inherit Cyril's money, and he would have enough money to marry and support a family. Vera's plan worked just as she had hoped it would. However, Hugo knew all along that she intentionally allowed Cyril to drown. Hugo was mad at her from that point on and discontinued his relationship with her. As one can see from this awful crime, Vera…

    Story with a Moral

    So, the owl lived happily in his company for months together. But, when the summer arrived in all its vigour and the lake really went dry in due course, the owl thought of returning home. He thanked the swan for the nice company given by him and said with a heavy heart, "Dear friend, I am leaving this place now, since the lake has gone dry and there is no water available here. I would like you too to come along with me; because you too can't live without water." "Thanks," said the sawn, "in fact there is a small river that flows half a mile away from here; I shall go and stay there. When the river also goes dry, I shall come and join you and once again we will be enjoying each other's loving company." "All right," said the owl, "there is a big river, a few miles away from here. And on its bank there is a big banyan tree; I live in it."…
