Short Story 'The Interlopers'
In the short story “The Interlopers” by Saki, Ulrich and Georg became friends and they will stay friends even if they had not been killed by wolves. After getting stuck under the tree Ulrich pulls his flask of wine from his coat, then in a surprise gesture he says to Georg, “‘could you reach this flask if I threw it over to you?’” (726).

After being trapped under the tree for a while Ulrich could feel the old fierce hatred fading and said, “‘ Neighbor if you will help me bury this old quarrel I - I will ask

Tensions had grown, and now, standing on the edge of the unusually restless trees, Ulrich felt that he could finally do something.

    Sometimes we find ourselves walking down the street, staring at the homeless begging for money or watching unique people ‘embarrassing’ themselves when all they're doing is having fun. The diversity in the world is so vast, and we find ourselves pondering whether people are different or just outcasts. In many books as well, a character ends up being an outcast or a unique, different person as a whole. When are we outcasts and when are we just ‘different’ from the rest of the world? S.E. Hinton’s book The Outsiders represents this interesting situation where some people belong in the path of the status quo while others seem to stand out more than they fit in. Throughout the book, characters are shunned for being outcasts, honored for being unique, or even both.…

    Suspense, drama, irony, foreshadowing. The Interlopers and The Story of an Hour are two short stories filled to the brim with all of these and more. It is wondrous to watch as plots unfold and authors bring the readers to the edge of their seats. Accordingly, with these the reader will begin to relax, getting comfortable with the concepts and the characters. Then, as they begin to feel satisfied, when they can see that the climax of the story is nigh, they begin to feel uneasy. Why? Because they are reading the work of an experienced author and not the result of a middle schooler with ADHD. Expect the unexpected, especially when reading classics.…
