Doesn T Know The Story Of Pan By J. M. Barrie, Peter Pan
Who doesn’t know the story by J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan? The lovely tale of a boy who never grew up, how magical. I trusted that man with my story, but so much was lost in translation I guess. Peter Pan he called it, why? Pan may have been the protagonist in his fairy tale, but in my tale, the true tale, he was a villain. He was the villain, he ruled over Neverland like a dictator rules over slaves. Yet, I still fell for him, I was young, my feelings were clouded, as well as my judgement. In my defense, he fell for me first. Young, lost, confused, innocent Wendy, then again, I was never innocent. And he knew that, otherwise I would have never been able to go to that wretched island in the first place. This story, I guess you could call it a love …show more content…
It wasn’t hard for me to drift off that night, the breeze smelled of summer, and had such a nice warmth to it, the warmth was magical, soft--acting like a lullaby--lulling me to sleep.
Wind rushed through the window, no longer a soft breeze, but a cold dagger, cutting through my slumber like glass. I jolted awake, my face still stained from the tears now freezing against my skin. Lights from the street lamps below shone into my room brighter than they had earlier that night, there were shards of glass all over my bench that sat next to the now broken window, the wind must have blown it open. A sigh escaped my mouth as I turned to go to my bed, I’d just have to clean up that mess in the morning. It was so sudden, when a hand clamped over my mouth and started to pull me to the window. My fingers grasped at the strong hand that had a hold over my mouth, muffling my screams. I bit down, hard. A sharp yelp escaped the person and I whipped around to see a very shocked boy standing there. He was tall, with dark hair, he was covered in mud, dirt, leaves, and about everything you find in the woods. Now, for those of you thinking about it, this boy was not Peter Pan; he was just a lost boy sent to fetch me. We both stared at each other, our eyes asking each the same question,

    Thirsty I made my way towards the kitchen to pour myself a glass of Cranberry Pomegranate juice. Sitting around what’s left of the dining room table one of its hinges obliterated merely three table legs left as a support. A branch from the oak tree near the kitchen window kept tapping against the walls and windows as the wind blows. This branch at night when the murky moonlight blooms against the massive tree meticulously resemble an oversized man with a knife trying to break into the house. I often dreaded coming down the stairs for a cup of water or juice late at night when the lights were off. The terrified image and screeches sound on the window always send me scurrying right back to my room and ducking under the covers trembling for dear…

    As the wind screeched ominously and the lightning crackled in the sky, the people decided to retreat to the warmth of their houses. The candles were dimmed and the shutters were closed and the streets were mostly deserted. The storm blew all night and the next morning dawned fresh and blue. Nobody would have thought that just the previous night, an ugly storm had brewed up in that place.…

    I awoke today with the light streaming into my room and hearing the birds chirping in the distance. As I regained my conscience, I smelled the mold and felt damp room conditions all around me that imprisoned me. It reminded me of what would have happened only in a nightmare. It was only yesterday that Corey, Nurse, Hale and I had gone to help the accused women. So many times I felt that I could win the battle, yet just as many times I could feel the rope slipping through my fingers.…

    “I remember tears streaming … your face … I said I'll never let you go … all those shadows almost killed your … … you said don't leave me … alone But … that's dead and gone … tonight.” Strikes of swift white light struck innocent trees, as wind howled and rain battered against the shield that separated me from the outside. One foot, two feet, I stepped out from the safe haven, like a Cobra, pounding against it protective shell, awaiting to spread its deadly poison. My face was a river, water tumbled from the top of my head to the bottom of my chin.…

    The glistening, white snow fell slowly to the ground outside the window. The distinct shapes of the snowflakes shown; the light from the street lamp seeping through the cracks. The mumble of the heater in the corner of the room; the faint sound of the blood dripping onto the floor were the only sounds. He lay there; motionless. The thuds were entering the silent room once again. The creaking of the wooden floor grew louder and louder. Still the light of the street lamp shone through the window and onto the far wall. The nasty figure walked into the murky room. Only its shadow appeared on the far wall behind it. The boy in the bed was Eli. His tiny eight year old body was red with his own blood. Then……

    Sally just shrugged as they were trudging through the muddy, rainy, and crowded streets with wet coats. Everything was obscure, the gutters were filled with dirty water. Their drenched feet and boots whined as they stepped on the cemented sidewalk.Their bodies had gave up on providing heat and presented to the atmosphere’s harsh temperatures. The small droplets upon their face chilled their skin and faintly glowed due to the foggy streetlights. The wind howled and echoed into their ears while the rain pattered down upon the ground .The water flowed down along the sidewalk flooding the drain system. The cars zoomed by so fast that the puddles splashed like a tsunami. With only the streetlights providing illumination along the street, the road…

    Everything was silent at first, as are most moment’s right before a major storm. People were roaming around, minding their own business and going about their days like nothing was wrong. It was quite clear most were trying to rush to get everything accomplished before the downpour, but no one knew how soon it would happen. Suddenly, as young eyes searched around the area for a treat for being a good boy during the trip, the wind suddenly picked up. Papers and leaves blew about, some flying in front of his face. This caused him to let go of the hand he was holding onto so he could rub at his eyes. He heard a voice, but the wind was too loud for him to hear over.…

    I couldn’t sleep at all last night. The nightmare of the past events haunted me all throughout the night. The visage of the body being laid out and defiled in the middle of the cold, barren road was still within my head like looking at myself in the mirror. I was near the brink of collapse, unable to bear what had just happened. I stayed in bed till about midday when I woke up from my slumber, my face dry from tears.…

    There’s something so tragically beautiful about the rain, Hange muses to herself as she traces and connects the transparent drops dotting the mullioned window. She can’t deny it: it’s certainly fitting for the given situation. She breathes in and the fiery ache within her lungs doesn’t go away; it only worsens, and she fears, for a fleeting moment, that maybe it’ll burn a cavity through her chest.…

    Women have been idealized in a rather traditional way in Peter Pan. They are primarily seen as nurturers only in the personification of mothers. It seems that Barrie, referring to the personalities of Mrs. Darling and her daughter Wendy- are essentially pure, angelic and sacrificing motherly figures. They are sought after by all male roles including the pirates and the boys- (both good and evil) in the novel who are in great need for a motherly presence.…

    Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Tinderbox” is a near perfect example of traditional folklore. In “Literature for Children: A Short Introduction”, David Russell defines the various storytelling conventions often found in traditional folklore under the subjects of setting, character, plot, theme and style. Despite the fact that “The Tinderbox” lacks a clear moral theme and has an unusually complex main character, most of the mechanics including setting, plot, and style, are overwhelmingly apparent.…
