The first story I Picked was The Screech Owl Who Liked Television. This story was about A girl name Twig and a small gray screech owl named Yammer. When Twig had to stop watching TV, Yammer was still watching it. They were watching a cowboy show and the guy riding on the horse looked like a mouse to Yammer. Yammer went to catch it but got hurt.

    “People once believed that when someone dies, a crow carries their soul to the land of the dead. But sometimes, something so bad happens that a terrible sadness is carried with it and the soul can't rest. Then sometimes, just sometimes, the crow can bring that soul back to put the wrong things right.” The movie The Crow opens with this voiceover that explains the basic mythology of the film. The main character is Eric Draven who before his murder was the guitarist in a local rock band, Hangman's Joke. He and his fiancee, Shelly Webster, were due to be married on Halloween but were tragically murdered by a street gang the night before.

    Most short stories have the same basic motifs, whether it is a damsel in distress being saved by the hero, the perfect fairytale marriage and life after, or even the risk of having secrets. These three motifs stand out in “The Ring” and “The Five Helpers”, each in its own unique way. Showing off these themes in different ways helps to look at not only the differences of stories, but also the things they have in common.…

    Compare and contrast two of the four short stories listed below. Begin your discussion of each story by stating what you think its theme is, and then describe how the other five elements identified by your editors contribute to articulating the theme. Use as many of the other five elements as you think are relevant in contributing to the theme; some elements will be more important than others, and one or two may not be relevant, depending upon your choice of stories. For example, point of view may be ‘neutral’ or non-judgmental, and voice (of the narrator/author) or style may also not be particularly relevant. Do not simply recite how each element, by itself, is present in the story. Your discussion of the elements should be integrated and you don’t necessarily have to identify the elements by name—e.g., you can refer to what happens in a story without calling it the plot or summarizing the plot, and you can refer to a character’s trait or personality without constructing a full…

    People often ask me about the large grey wolf hide I keep hanging above the fireplace. I will admit it does seem rather odd for a young girl to have such a thing, and I assure you that the story behind it is even stranger. A story I have told many times to guests and passers by, and I always get the same look of disbelief, but I assure that this story is as true as they come. Walking to my Grandmother’s house was not a strange occurrence for me I had done many times, only this time would be far different. I had no idea of the events that were to unfold as I opened the door and entered Grandmother’s cabin.…

    Fable characters are stereotypes with human strengths and weaknesses instead of multidimensional characters. A fable normally has only a few characters, sometimes just two: a hero and a villain. The main characters of this fable would be the crow and the peacock, as both characters represented their own significance in the story. The first important aspect of both characters is their original colour, which is white. The crow is honest, as we can see that the crow did its best to colour the peacock so that the peacock looked pretty (Sang Gagak yang dikenali sebagai seekor binatang yang kreatif dan berbakat mula melukis corak dan mewarnakan badan sang Merak.). The crow is also considerate, because when it found the cans of paints the crow immediately thought of the peacock because the peacock is the crow’s best friend (Lantas timbullah idea dalam diri Sang Gagak untuk menggunakan cat tersebut untuk mewarnakan dirinya yang tidak berwarna…
