The Hound Alternate Ending
It felt like I was surrounded in cool, deep waters and I felt numb all over. It was then I heard angels speaking and protecting me in blanket-like warmth. Is this real? Where is Mildred? Where is Faber? Beatty? The firemen? The Hound? A beautiful little angel approached me and said in a soft voice, "You are in a different world right now. Year 2000," then she promptly vanished in the white light. Everything was crystal clear now. I can see a city filled with tall buildings and each neighborhood has about a dozen(maybe even more!) houses lined up perfectly one by one next to each other. I can hear cars speeding by, birds chirping, dogs barking, people talking, people laughing. I can smell fresh air with grass sprinkled in morning dew. …show more content…
I picked up a book called Divergent that was apparently a very popular one among teens. I sat down at a coffee shop as I read my book. The story takes place in a futuristic world, sort of like the one I used to live in. After sitting for an hour in the coffee shop reading Divergent, it got boring for me. I look up and see a young, teenage girl who looked strangely familiar. Dark hair, pale face, white dress. It was Clarisse. She was reading a book as well. “Hey, Clarisse?” I managed to spurt out. We both seemed surprised at our unexpected encounter. Except her reaction wasn't what I expected at …show more content…
The problem is, I have no idea where my 'home' is in Year 2000. The little angel came back, picked me up and carried to my (new) house. I thanked the helpful little girl. My new house looked exactly like my old one, except it was not turned to ashes. I went upstairs to lay in bed for a while. I couldn't take a nap for I was too shocked, relieved and a little confused because I was put into this new world, so perfect. Maybe the little angel put me here for a reason, to experience a something completely different, something I have wanted in my Old World. There was the television set in the living room. I turned it on, not knowing what channels there could be. A cartoon, radio talk show, commercial, and then there was a news channel. “Breaking news, a big wildfire has started to burn down 45,000 acres and destroyed 235 homes in Los Alamos, New Mexico. Firemen around the Los Alamos district are struggling to tackle the flames,” says the news reporter. The screen showed video clips of a house being shot up in flames. It was said the fire was caused by drought and high winds, not firemen. Then there were more videos showing firemen spraying white foam at the fire which extinguished the fire little by little. This world is so much different. And different is

    Fire whirls were the main reason of the spread of fire debris going far and high. As that was happening, firefighters continued to fight the tremendous flames. A huge piece of lumber fell on top of the city’s waterworks causing the building to burst into flames, destroying it. The city’s water mains went dry, and the city was helpless. The fire went all over the city from each building and block. Luckily, later that day on the 9th, it began to rain, but since the fire burned so much of the area, it already burned itself out.

    On August 20th of 1910, a wildfire caused by lightning burned three million acres of Washington, Montana, and Idaho, and killed 84 citizens. In the book The Big Burn: Teddy Roosevelt and the Fire that Saved America by Timothy Egan, Egan explains that the progressive republicans Theodore Roosevelt and Gifford Pinchot’s conservation efforts for national forests were solidified by this catastrophic event, due to the heroic efforts of the U.S. Forest Service. Although others like William Howard Taft and Senator Heyburn hindered their efforts prior to the fire, eventually the efforts of the Forest Rangers prove their worth. The book highlights the hardships the rangers go through at the beginning of their service, as well as the political difficulties that Roosevelt and Pinchot experience against industrialists, who want to use the land for resources and industrialization instead of preserving the land.…

    I believe the firefighters should have been aware of superheating. Considering that firefighters work constantly to banish flames before they grow, the firefighters should know about all possible ways a wildfire can receive fuel. Additionally, having knowledge of other incidents where superheating caused explosion would have allow them to be better prepared. Overall, the firefighters took to situation too lightly, but if they had realized the fire always has the potential to escalate quickly then perhaps they may have been poised to neutralize the…

    Public health has a responsibility to prepare and respond to all disasters, natural or manmade (Schneider and Schneider, 2017). The role public health had in this disaster was to communicate emergency planning and preparedness for the disaster (Schneider and Schneider, 2017). From the lecture by Horack, he stated, communication is the best tool (Horack, 2010). Through radio and new forecasts individuals were aware of the situation. Responding to disasters and emergencies are also an important aspect of public health. In an article by Querry and KFor-TV, the Oklahoma Department of Forestry asked for additional help to provide relief to those fighting the fire (Querry and KFor-TV, 2017). Aircrafts, firefighters and dozers were offered by Arkansas, Louisiana and Kentucky (Querry and KFor-TV,…

    The last thing I remember is falling asleep during a late night rerun of the Twilight Zone. So when it happened, it was especially eerie, like I had stepped into a lost episode, but Rod Serling was nowhere in sight; for moment, neither was anybody else. At 4:31 AM a merciless shove pushed me off my bed. I crawled on the floor, trying to escape the cruel, uncontrollable shaking, but it followed me. It followed me down the stairs and underneath the dining room table where my family joined me. Little did I realize that before the morning sun rose again, I would see everything differently.…

    Dr. John Watson is the other main protagonist. He is Sherlock's sidekick and companion. He narrates the entire story. Dr. Watson thinks very highly of Sherlock, being very eager to please him. He is loyal, and is very verbose, especially when writing reports for Holmes. Dr. Watson is a static character, despite being a protagonist, his personality remains the same. However, one could argue that he is foil, as he is dim compared to Sherlock and highlights Holmes' intelligence. Dr. James Mortimer was the medical attendant of the late Sir Charles Baskerville. He has a skull fetish, and is described by Dr. Watson as being "a single-minded enthusiast", for he is easily distracted by the simple mention of them. He is kind and practical; however, he does believe in the Hound. He expresses a wish to someday examine Holmes' skull. He has a benevolent air, and is very amiable. Dr. Mortimer is a static character, as his personality remains the same throughout the whole book. Sir Charles Baskerville is described by Dr. Mortimer to be a "strong-minded man... shrewd, practical, and as unimaginative as... himself." (pg. 11) However, he was superstitious to an extent, having taken the legend of the Hound very seriously. He was amiable and generous, believing that all of Devonshire should get a share of his fortune. He was childless, and a widower. During the time of his death, his health was already deteriorating; he was experiencing breathlessness and acute attacks of depression. Elderly and infirm, he died the 4th of May. Sir Charles was a static character, his personality never changing throughout the course of the book. Sir Henry Baskerville is the nephew of the late Sir Charles Baskerville. The baronet is of thirty to forty years of age. He is brave, and chivalrous. Watson describes him to have some sort of pride in his eyebrows. He is gentlemanly, and keen on adventure if it means protecting those he loves, like venturing out in search of…
