Jackson writes about the apparent warm friendship among the citizens; “They (the children) broke into boisterous play, and their talk was still of the classroom and the teacher, of books and reprimands” (Jackson). Even on the day of the lottery they were friendly to one another; “‘Thought we were going to have to get on without you, Tessie,’ Mr. Hutchinson said, grinning, ‘Wouldn’t have me leaven m’dishes in the sink, now would you, Joe?,’ and soft laughter ran through the crowd.” Like any other small town gathering, the children played together, the woman gossiped, and the men talked among themselves. While people might appear innocent and friendly, they can be purely evil in
I would wake up to the smell off bacon and pancakes and kittens playing with my hair. It was good to be home. When the school let me visit, my grandma dropped me off. My friends were happy to see me, as well as my old teaches. I shared lunch with my friends, where we all laughed and talked.
Positive Effect It was beautiful day sitting in the courtyard on this summer afternoon. There was a warm gentle breeze in which the nearby palm tree waved in the wind, the sound of students as they hurried past on there way to and from class, and some birds playfully chip in the Oak tree I sat beneath. I couldn’t help notice a plane passing in the almost cloudless sky, and thinking how it must look from up there on a day like today. Two attractive young women sit on a bench in the shade gossiping about today’s latest news, and giggling every few seconds. An older man with gray hair stands against the wall discussing on a cell phone what to have for dinner, and in the background the hushed sound of crickets twittering was almost most calming.
As I handed my ticket to the middle age man with his recent receding hair line, another man smiled and said “welcome to the ball park” in a ear piercing voice. I proceed onward stumbling through the waves of team accessories realizing that I stuck out like a sore thumb wearing only neutral colors. The aroma of ball park food hit my nostrils like a car crashing in to a wall. The food ranges from hot dogs to cotton candy, Nachos to cola anything you can think of the ball park had it. After nearly drowning in a sea of fans, families and Television workers I finally made it to my seat directly across from third base.
However, a “tyrant spell” has entranced her and, she “cannot go.” The second stanza continues horrific place. Bound describes giant trees with branches that are being weighed down with cold snow, and these might describe horrific moments of her life. She says, “The storm is fast descending,” furthering the sentiment of being trapped in this dreadful situation. Bronte affirms this notion in the last line by ending once again with the words, “I cannot go.” The final stanza, Bronte describes very difficult conditions. There are “Clouds beyond clouds” in the sky, then “Wastes beyond wastes below.” Wastes are barren land, creating the impression of a lonely, uncomfortable place where a woman would not wish to be alone on a stormy winter's night.
Me and Lennie were real happy there, cos we could go over to the town on Sunday and sit on the street and watch life go by. Ye, we had a hellu’ve good life up in Weed.” George paused and before he continued. “So we was sittin’ in the gutter one day in a quiet place of the town and Lennie sees a girl come by, really purty girl with a pink beautiful dress, ya know the color of dem real fancy cakes the baker makes for those rich folks. And there’s two things Lennie jus’ loves - bright colors and soft things, so when
Most of the time, I felt welcome because everyone was friendly and greeted me the second I sat down. At first I was completely clueless about the topic they were discussing, but Alex explained to me “They’re talking about a Pokémon battle.” Pokémon, the cartoon series, was a popular and normal topic for the people at this table “Everyone seems to enjoy the cartoon series Pokémon a lot and some are even playing Pokémon on their Nintendo D.S” (Lunch Challenge 2). As a kid, I grew up with Pokémon so I enjoyed the topic and was comfortable with everyone, since they shared something in common with me. At first, I thought this table was going to be boring and dull, but it turned out it was enjoyable. That just goes to show “Don’t judge a book by its
This beach you could see when driving over the bridge to get home. My cousin always enjoyed when my aunt would cook my favorite foods chicken Florentine it smelled so good and tasted rich of seasonings, cheese. Florida smells very mild and the air is unpolluted I would not get sick as much as when I lived in New Jersey so I wanted to stay there but I missed my family so we moved back home when I turned thirteen years old. Inclusion my experience living in Florida was terrific and unforgettable in the near future I plan to revisit Florida because I truly enjoyed the different childhood experiences. I also miss eating the food and visiting swamp
I was not sure what happened, but I knew something was stuck. My bike was much too painful to ride home, so the only option left was to mosey on back. Next, after the seemingly endless and agonizing walk back, my destination had been reached. As I walked up my driveway and threw my bike aside I cried for my mom to come out. I explained to her what happened and that there was something lodged in my left cheek.
But, I had to stay strong. It was almost like the storm got more humongous with the more victims that it consumed. The monstrosity chased them down and they gobbled them up. I was miserable because of it. I also knew that there wasn’t going to be anything left for us here in Willowdale Meadows.
