Graywolf: A Fictional Narrative
“I don’t want to fight anybody.” Isaac said. “Please don’t make me do this.”

“Time's up.” she said. “Your opponent will be Connor Graywolf, Try not to die.”

Isaac stood there with his mouth open in disbelief. He couldn’t believe that this was going to happen to him. He had never been in a fight his whole life and now, he was going to be fighting someone who could potentially kill him. His whole body started to shake, his heart started to race as he dropped down to his knees. Renee stood up, walking around her desk to get to Isaac.

“You’re completely pathetic, you know that.” She said as she looked down at him.

“Shut up!” Isaac yelled.

He didn’t think twice about what he yelled at her. He figured if he had a good chance of

    Narration is what allows us to grasp every action and detail in a story. Although authors are usually expected to guide readers through a book, Ernest Hemingway in Hills Like White Elephants decided to narrate his story in journalistic fashion. The story being told in an objective narrative format allowed for imagination and assumptions. The story being told in third person point of view which is objective, never allows us into the minds of the characters. We are only given minimal background and specifics. Though not much is offered, we can analyze various moments in the narration that contributes and shapes to the meaning of the story.…

His love was a never-ending feeling for her. "One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life: that word is love." Henry probably had such a hard time with his wife's death that he blocked it out of his mind and started to believe that she really was still there, and that she still loved him.

    In the chapter, the gray zone, the author Primo Levi describes the human relationships inside the Lager. In describing the gray zone, Levi discusses the different roles of prisoners assigned by the Nazi. The prisoners that did the work were seen as being more privileged which at the end of the day helped them get more food and live better. Therefore, the concept of the gray zone is analyzing the difference between the privileged and the non-privileged in the Lager. The difference can be seen by the tasks that the prisoners carried out, for example, one of the groups were seen as, “Low ranking functionaries... sweepers, kettle washers, night watchmen, bed smoothers... checkers of lice and scabies, messengers, interpreters, assistants’ assistants. In general, these people poor devils like ourselves, who worked full time like everyone else but who for an extra half liter of soup were willing to carry out these and other ‘tertiary’ functions.” This group was seen as harmless and not much different than the underprivileged. The other group of prisoners in the Lager was seen as the enemies to their own people. They were referred to as the Kapos who were “free to commit the worst atrocities on their subject as punishment for any transgressions, or even without any motive whatsoever: until the end of 1943 it was not unusual for a prisoner to be beaten to death by a Kapo without the latter having to fear any sanctions.” The prisoners that became part of the Kapo were seen as permanent. They were not accepted back by their people if they were willing to give up their privileges and take their place again. This led to a prisoners feeling isolated and rejected. Perhaps the prisoners got themselves into these roles due to peer pressure or were forced into it by the Nazi. However, Levi still states that we should not judge them as anyone would’ve done the same thing in that time of need. Survival was the key issue which led prisoners to…

    Tom wondered for what seemed to be the millionth time why Dectives were required to dress like wall-street bankers or stock analysts. At least that was the expectation in public, however the moment he had the office to himself, he unknotted his tie, slipped off the linen suit jacket, and undid the top button of his shirt, then sat back in his chair, raised his eyes to the ceiling, and tapped the tip of a ballpoint pen against his teeth. That was Tom's usual mode of concentration and contemplation, and so intent was the man's focus on the new case that all else slipped from his mind, even the recollection that he'd texted his wife. Therefore, the sudden familiar sound of her voice, accompanied by the enticing aroma of barbecue, startled him, and he immediately shot upright. The sight of Lila elicited a smile that only widened with the greeting and kiss. "Sorry baby."…

    The text The Company of Wolves is a very risqué take on the classic story of Little Red Riding Hood. The text is very sexually suggestive in its use of language and descriptions of the main character. It is also very traditional and conservative in its presentation of gender stereotypes and roles. The main characters virginity is described as ‘the invisible pentacle of her own virginity. She is an unbroken egg, she is a sealed vessel; she has inside her a magic space the entrance to which is shut tight with a plug of membrane… she does not know how to shiver” this description is very sexually suggestive and its elaborate descriptions are very creepy and over the top. This is remarkably different to the original story which doesn't make mention of any sexual themes. This description of the main character was very off putting to me, as she is obviously a girl just entering puberty; this is very close to paedophilia and is off-putting to read the elaborate descriptions present. The story is also very traditional and conservative in its presentation of gender roles and stereotypes. In the story only men have power and use this as a form of control over the women present in the story. Women in the story are only seen as objects, used for cooking and for sex, and as below men in terms of who has power. This is very traditional and a…

    This summer my family drove to Pennsylvania, Poconos, a water park called Great Wolf Lodge, it took us 3 hours to get to the water park, when we arrived, we looked outside and saw so many cars in the parking lot, we are so excited to go inside and see what kind of activities do they have. When we checked in, they gave us a wolf ear and a wristband for the room, then we went to change and went straight through the water park, we went in and we were so shocked that there were so many people inside that are playing. We started the waves first, then we went to other facilities, one of them that I liked were the slides since it was pretty awesome, but I didn’t like the other slides, because I am afraid of how fast they are. After all the fun, my…
