295 Words2 Pages

“I love those tight jeans and that blonde hair, those big blue eyes make me want to follow you to the moon, but not on that mountain,” Dennis said running his fingers through his hair and flipped his head back.
“I don’t want to go to the moon, just on the mountain with someone to keep me company,” Ruth said. “Do you want to meet here around 11:00? We could be back by 4:30.” “We can’t go up there!” Dennis said ignoring her and finished his breakfast.
“Come on fellows, tell me what is going on around here,” she begged. “I know smart, brave men like you are afraid of nothing. Neal, look at those muscles. You could take care of any ‘boogie man’,” she said, hoping one of them would talk.
“Please, Miss Bishop, I would love to take you anywhere you want to go. There are many mountains we could go hiking and have fun. I will be happy to take you right now if you want to go, but I will never take you or anyone else to Putney Mountain,” Neal said, winking at his friends. …show more content…

Good luck.” Leaving the diner, she smiled and waved to them.
“Those country boys could never keep up with a city girl,” she said going to her car. I will see for myself, what is up there, she thought driving down the street.

  • Analysis Of Go Tell It On The Mountain By James Baldwin

    781 Words  | 4 Pages

    Throughout the novel, Go Tell it on the Mountain written by James Baldwin, there is a shift between time periods. The way that James Baldwin wrote this novel, kept readers attentions and also provided readers with background information in regards to each of the characters’ lives and the events that were being taken place. James Baldwin’s writing technique switches time periods from the past to present time. At first, I found this writing technique to be confusing because often times I would find myself thinking that things that happened in the past of the character’s lives were really happening in present time. For example, on page 11, the narrative breaks from past time to present time when Baldwin goes from describing how Ella Mae and Elisha were no longer seeing each other after school to talking about Johns birthday.

    The quote "Little as he knew though, he wanted Ralph and Berry to think he knew a lot. "-Page 512, from the story The Mountain Legend by Jordan Wheeler. I think it would be a call to attention because it's foreshadowing that Jason will climb the intimidating mountain. After all, he wants to impress Ralph and Barry. Another call to attention is that it is suspense because it makes the reader want to read more and think about whether will Jason climb the mountain, whether he'll survive, whether he'll listen to Ralph and Barry, and whether he'll be influenced.
