“Mittens!” Amy said angrily and Mittens glanced up at her. “Why are you doing this?” Amy questioned Mittens like she would answer her. Then Amy rushed to get the broom and dust pan. Amy swept up all the glass. She walked carefully back to the kitchen to the trash can then set the broom and dust pan down. As soon as she walked into the room- screech-screech - Amy ran back to the room once again. Then she grabbed the glass that Mittens was pushing to the edge of the table and set it in the middle of the table then picked Mittens up. This time she took Mittens and locked her in her room.

He went down to the office to get a tour he thought he didn’t need because he remembered every single solitary thing about this place. While the tour was going on everything going on was a blur. He looked left, right and left again, admiring the changes the school had made. “Wow” he sighed. “Is there a problem Rufus?” the tour guide asked. Rufus answered, “When I was here the wall paint was all chipped, there were broken windows and holes in the walls.” “Oh ok, well that concludes our tour and this door on your right is your first period class.” The tour guide replied. Rufus walked in and sat at an available seat at the back of the class room. He opened his notebook and took notes even though he didn’t understand anything that was going on.

    An Analysis of the Short Story A Worn Path

    Eudora Welty's short story "A Worn Path" takes place on an early December morning which deals with a very elderly and frail black woman, Phoenix; and the hardships inherent in her life. Phoenix Jackson is the main character, she is characterized as a strong poor elderly woman because of her appearance, personality and determination. For example, the narrator states, that Phoenix wore “a dark striped dress reaching down to her shoe tops, and an equally long apron of bleached sugar sacks, with a full pocket: all neat and tidy, but every time she took a step she might have fallen over her shoelaces, which dragged from her unlaced shoes " (475). The dark striped dress and long apron made of sugar sacks symbolizes poverty because of her hardships in life; this is the type of clothing most Negro women slaves wore back in the slavery days. The darkness of her dress represents her state of depression. The stripes on her dress symbolizes the prison bars showing she was held captive as a slave for some time.…

    Creative Writing Deafness: A Short Story

    The hand ticked monotonously around the watch, its staggered movement constantly pushing its smaller brother forward. The window was open, and a cool breeze fluttered through, ruffling the white curtains. The corner of the curtain nicked a calculator on the table and it fell with a metallic crash. However, the boy sitting at the edge of the table never moved. It was only when he turned around and saw the broken calculator with a nail protruding out that he bent to pick up the pieces. Suddenly the door to his bedroom opened and his mother came in. Without uttering a sound, she shaped her fingers into the desired word - SPECIALIST, NOW. The boy nodded and followed his mum out.…

Lisa bumped a glass as she scraped past the kitchen counter. It shattered as it hit the ground, making an ear-piercing noise. Into the scullery she went. Just as she was about to flick the switch for the lights to come on again, she felt something going over her head.…

Although Sade was startled inside, she tried her best not to show it. It was clear that Machine Lady was waiting for an answer. Sade cleared her throat and tried to make a sound. No sound came out. She tried again, giving more of an effort to do so. A sound came out and Machine Lady went tomato red. Sade felt embarrassed and it was obvious that she had said something wrong, or worse than that, something rude.

    The Best Moment Of My Life

    The girl loathed the doctors. The room was full of people gossiping to each other about what was happening with their neighbours. Think was impossible with all the screaming toddlers. All she wished for was to be back in her room where she was secure, and shut away from the world. She disliked the pea green colour of the walls; it reminded her of the room her Grandma died in a couple of years ago. She did not know why, but somehow the smell of disinfectant helped soothe her feelings. Why was she sitting there? She should have been out with her friends talking about boys, and sharing their new fashion tips, after all, she was only fifteen.…
