The end of the story is her dreaming she is only reading a book of ghost stories that end. 3. My reaction to this piece is worry, as this haunting could happen to anyone, including me. She seems to have comes to terms writing about her experiences. The author seems to have told her story before but no one has taken it seriously.

“Over The River and Through The Woods” Task 3 – Critical Essay Unlike many other short science fiction stories, Clifford D. Simak’s “Over the River and Through the Woods” keeps its readers wanting to know how it ends. This story is about two mysterious children, Paul and Ellen Forbes, who unexpectedly walk into their apparent grandmother’s house in the woods with objects that have never been seen before. Their grandma, who is also named Ellen Forbes, knows nothing of these children, who claim that their father sent them there for a short vacation. The mysterious mood, imagery, and foreshadowing all contribute to this being a good story. It is commonly accepted that this story, like all other science fiction pieces, is not real, but unlike many others, it has an eerie, mysterious mood throughout, which makes it interesting and keeps readers reading.
For me, I insistently said that this book is a wonderful book I have read by John Green, even though some negative reviews on Amazon claim that the character Hazel is too perfect, people want to stop reading when they only finish the first chapter, and the story is too boring. One of the reviews on Amazon says that Hazel is too perfect and she is not a normal teenager. I disagree with the review. Although I have not finished reading this book, I already found some parts showing that Hazel is not really perfect. For instance, when Hazel is talking with her parents, she says “I am like.
Mandy’s parents are “working their lives away” and do not realise the extent of the problem and suggest it is “only a phase” that Steve is going through. Mandy starts locking her door and turns to Tracey, for help, because she seems to be the only one giving Mandy her full attention. The second example is that through a series of letters, Mandy and Tracey became pen pals. But the fact they were two strangers at first and that one writer had no real knowledge of the other, it made it easier for one to make up a story to hide her past, things that should not be remembered. And this is what happened in the story, even though Mandy and Tracey had become close friends, Tracey had been lying about her real life, since her first letter to Mandy.
Violence in Schools I chose Youth Violence in Schools as the topic for my post. I chose this particular topic because it is something that I have witnessed in the different schools my children have attended and wanted to know more of. I believe the majority of the time urban schools receive more negative publicity, based on the environment in which they are given. One day I would like to be able to assist these urban schools by volunteering and donating time to try and make things better for them. However, in this post I will focus and discuss the violence in these urban schools.
Essay: Mother of the City “Where you live shapes your life.” These are the words of the main character, Douglas, in the short story, Mother of the City, written by Christopher Fowler. Douglas has grown up in the suburbs and he lives a fairly miserable and lonely life in a house with his aunt, Sheila. Douglas does definitely not like the big city, London, which not fit with the ideals of the big city girl, Michelle, who he falls in love with. Or maybe it’s just an illusion. Perhaps a picture of how much he really wants to get away from the suburb.
