Creative Writing: Jebediah's Life
It was a lengthy, and a barren day on the fish farm. Young Jebediah had been out on the sparkling porcelain lake for what seemed like hours. You could tell by, the stench of perspiration and sweat that temporarily acted like his men’s body spray. He also looked exceedingly drained, and was beginning to receive an aching sunburn across his worn out body. His denim pant legs and his coral button down shirt sleeves were rolled up. You could tell that he had been sweating because his skin was glistening and it had a certain glow. Although he had been out there for hours he still was not able to catch any fish that his family could digest for a fulfilling dinner.
Although his stomach growled for food and an astonishing feast, he knew that if he

They would be able to feast and digest until they couldn’t anymore. All because of the fact that Jebediah was too busy daydreaming, his family wouldn't be able to enjoy the luxurious meal of a fish and instead they would be stuck nibbling on the obnoxious, sickening, kidney beans for their dinner.
He could not believe at all, he had been patiently waiting in the blazing summer heat all day and he had finally caught what he was sure to be an astonishing, ginormous, creature. But because of the fact that he completely forgot about the fact that in order to catch a fish you had to quickly reel in your catch before the animal can snatch the bait off of the hook and submerge away before you can reel it in.
Little Jeb, gently whispered to himself, “Maybe this time if I am, once again, very patient and I do the exact same thing I have been doing, but also paying attention to my fishing rod. Maybe the same result will happen and I will catch a tremendous fish that my parents and siblings can devour.” He had thought that it was a reasonably smart plan so he set it forth into action. Jebidiah sat back down on the soft but itchy, emerald green grass, casted out his fishing line, and patiently waited for his once in a lifetime, immense,

    He learns about the fish and what kind of fish they are and what they like to do. Another reason, why he might pick the fish is because it’s gigantic it’s once of a life time kind of fish. He has never seen a bass this big before. The reason I know it’s so huge is because of how he explained it the way it jumped out of the water how its pulling the boat and the rod. Third reason he might pick the bass is because he noticed how selfish Sheila is she’s talking about how she’s better than other people and she’s being snobby she’s talking about how she hates all of these people and that they are ugly and talk too much. He’s also ignoring Sheila and trying to get the fish instead of paying attention to her. But their is a possibility he could pick Sheila.

    “‘The black bass thinks he can be king of the fish, but all he wants is to eat them. The black bass is a killer. But the real kind is the golden carp, Tony. He does not eat his own kind-’ Cico’s eyes remained glued on the dark waters. His body was motionless, like a spring awaiting release. We had been whispering since we arrived at the pond, why I don’t know, except that it was just one of those places where one can communicate only in whispers, like church. We sat for a long time, waiting for the golden carp. It was very pleasant to sit in the warm sunshine and watch the pure waters drift by. The drone of the summer insects and grasshoppers made me sleepy. The lush green grass was cool, and…

    Arriving at the river, I abandon discretion and resolve that this morning I’m going to wade wet. With my pulse quickening and clutching my rod and fly pack, I venture forth on a quest for one of my favorite and secluded fishing spots.

    Summer by David Updike

    • 360 Words
    • 2 Pages

    In the beginning we find the family and its surrogate son, Homer, enjoying the fruits of the summer. Homer wakes to find Mrs. Thyme sitting alone, “looking out across the flat blue stillness of the lake”(48). This gives us a sense of the calm, eternal feeling the lake presents and of Mrs. Thyme’s appreciation of it. Later, Fred and Homer wildly drive the motor boat around the lake, exerting their boyish enthusiasm. The lake is unaffected by the raucous fun and Homer is pleased to return to shore and his thoughts of Sandra. Our protagonist observes the object of his affection, as she interacts with the lake, lazily resting in the sun. The lake provides the constant, that which has always been and will always be. As in summers past, the preacher gives his annual sermon about the end of summer and a prayer that they shall all meet again. Afterward, Homer and Fred take a final turn around the lake only to see a girl who reminds Homer of Sandra. “And there was something in the way that she raised her arm which, when added to the distant impression of her fullness, beauty, youth, filled him with longing as their boat moved inexorably past…and she disappeared behind a crop of trees.”(51) We draw the impression that there will always be girls to long for, summers to enjoy and lakes to witness these rites of passage.…

    Descriptive Essay On Ice

    The small electric motor built in to the reel whirred as it dragged whatever it was towards the surface. The water parted exasperatedly as the thing became to emerge. It was no fish. Tim saw the box gleaming persistently against the glazing sun peering out from the thick blankets of clouds. The box was as long as a coffin and shaped like an egg. It had a pure silver hue on the sides that wrapped around to the back exaggerating the subtle curve that made it seem thinner than it really was. At the bottom of the box scorch marks scarred it leaving a rainbow stain. A circular dent also sat rigidly at the side. In the middle however a clear pane of what seemed to be glass held something. Tim, eyes open stared horridly as the grotesque creature laid limp on the side of the black material that lined the inside. Tim fixed to the ground, trembled uncontrollably at the Small manifest thing. It was no bigger than a baby and it had grey skin, almost translucent as the skin stretched over the vein scattered body. It's skin was wrinkled and rolls of skin lulled on the edge of his head. Tim knew what it was a creature, it couldn't be from here it was not creature like, it was a…
