Mystery Woods: A Short Story
One day, two boys, Jamal and Todd, went walking through the “Mystery Woods”. No one would ever go into, or think about going into those woods. Rumor has it, that there was a little boy, maybe seven, went into the woods and never came out. People sent airplanes and claimed there were pools of blood and trees covered in flies. There were bugs bigger than the rotting bodies that were everywhere! After hearing about this story, the boys were DYING to go into the woods, so one Saturday… they did, and it was their BIGGEST regret.
“Why is there so many spider webs!?” asked Todd.
“Well, I’m guessing it has nothing to do with the fact we are in the woods you idiot!” Answered Jamal.
“Yeah, well it probably is because we are in the woods, so IN YOUR

He isn’t going to listen to you!” stated Jamal “You never know…’ The boys came to a huge house! 4 storied high and 212 yard wide. A crash of thunder fills their ears… lightning fills the sky. “I know it’s raining, but I don’t think we should go in.” thought Todd “Well I do, let’s go” pushed …show more content…
In great condition and so clean! When you first walk in, there is a diamond chandelier hanging down in the foyer. There is a room to the left, in that room belong spiral stairs, these stairs have a velvet carpeting going down them. This house is nice. The boys checked out the rooms, there are exactly 16 rooms and 7 bathrooms. When you go onto the porch, the wrap-around porch, there is a Hot tub and steps to get outside. “Jamal! We could live here! You know, if the red paint on the house didn’t ware down to pink and if the blue shutters didn’t ware down to purple… but we can repaint!” supposed Todd. “Um… no we couldn’t… because THERE IS A FIGURE AFTER US!” shouted Jamal. The boys got to the fifth room on the fourth floor, and well… that’s when they should have left. Before they even got the open the door, they hear a rocking chair… not downstairs, not in the room… right behind them! They turned around slowly, but there it was! A little white rocking chair, covered in blood. The boys turned back around and the door to the room was opened. Now, of course they are gonna walk in the room, because they are boys… in a freaking scary story. They walk in, and it’s a nice room… it has a fish tank, the fish are dead of course, but it has a fish tank and a nicely made bed. “Hey, look a closet! Let’s see what’s inside it!” said Todd “You’re dumb. But yeah, I would like to see what in there.” Agreed

    The Place of Stunted Ironwood Trees by Dr. David Crandall introduces the world of the Himba living in the country of Namibia. These people have interesting and unique beliefs that are based on an imaginary world or way of thinking. This imaginary world has a foundation in their belief in the god Mukuru and their belief that other supernatural forces play a part in their daily lives. These beliefs contribute to how Himba perceive life, judge moral character, and react to the world around them. The collective imaginary world of the Himba touches various aspects of their society, such as morality, the interpretation of unusual events, and religion and while it is accepted in their society as a whole, can be interpreted differently by individuals within the society.…

    The year was 1953. It was a cool, crisp twenty-ninth of October. Usually, after their chores and homework were done, Kathy, 8, and her brother Jonathan, 15, along with their friend May, 11, and her cousin Adam, 13, all went to Joe’s Arcade, the local hangout of Leaport, North Carolina. Instead, they all decided to meet at the end of their dead end street, Farrow Avenue, and go for a walk through the woods. They were all bored since the arcade was too crowded and supper wasn’t ready yet. Their town was a small town, so there wasn’t any other places to go besides the woods. Plus, the old, burned O’Leary house was out there.…

The décor of the home was exquisitely decorated in the time period of the house (Campbell). When we finished our self-guided tour we walked out to stand on the verandah and admire the view. It was dark outside and nobody was in the home so we decided to spend the night here. We found two beds and quickly fell asleep.…

    The creator of the cartoon uses pathos to exemplify what society is addicted to. The author presents a man injecting himself with various types of “drugs”. The “drugs” in the syringes represent the items that society believes are “essential” to live with. For example, one syringe says a Bigger House. Another syringe says a Sleeker Stereo. In addition to all the syringes on the table and in the background, the facial expression of the man help create an emotion of being overwhelmed and desperate to continue injecting themselves with these essential needs. The image overall represents how society is lost in trying to obtain what the purpose of life is through materialistic needs instead of discovering life through simplicity.…

    Into the Woods is a musical film that connects the stories of Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel, and Jack and the Beanstalk with the main plot of a baker and his wife performing tasks for a witch who would undo a curse that didn’t allow them for to bear child. Throughout the movie, the characters are constantly singing to an overlapping tune or a new song, but there is some narration to keep the audience aware, the singing tells the story itself, and the background music, when the characters are simply talking, creates the mood.…

    Growing up in rural Kansas was boring. Especially since I grew up in the seventies. There were no cell phones or game systems to occupy my time. My family had an old black and white television set. I loved to watch The Price is Right in the days before Bob Barker’s hair turned white. After the show was over, the only way to kill time was to play outside and wander down to the creek that ran parallel to our property. There was a secret trail buried in the wall of trees that lined our two acre yard. My brother and I would slide down the trail, landing on the dirt banks like explorers on a mission. Sometimes we would hunt for crawdads under rocks. Other times we would take our poles and fish. We never went into the water after the time I got bit by a gar.…

    The Thing in the Forest

    When I first read The Thing in the Forest, I was immediately taken in. I wondered what the thing could be. Was she going to talk about the two little girls, Penny and Primrose, witnessing the making of weapons, the abused lives of other orphans, or even the murders of German prisoners? The exposition, especially the time when World War II was going on, had led me to expect hostility. And my expectations turned out to be right, but in a different form. “The thing” was a hideous, worm-like creature, described in detail in words but still difficult to picture. I think this was done by the author on purpose – to motivate us to use our imagination. Every person could have his or her own idea of what “the thing” looked like, but one issue was certain – it was a very unattractive thing, and would continue to haunt the two girls and the readers as the story went on.…
