Throughout the story, there were many ideas presented that prove our friendship compatibility. For instance, she is know for having OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder) and anxiety. Although I don't share those same mental illnesses, I believe we would get along on the fact that we both dislike

fiction piece since high school, I imagined writing a similar scene. Ideas for a short short story: a tobacco paddock, a Coolgardie safe in a peppercorn tree, and a yellow crank-start tractor pumping water out of the creek. I left out the part about the eight snakes I had once passed to get back to this idyllic spot. At the top of the list was “magic realism”; this brought me to a 1458 word short story A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings (Marquez 1955). I think I enjoyed that story because the scene

Alagaësia, to control the next generation of dragon riders, or men, and elves that are bonded to dragons. They once ruled the land, keeping it peaceful, but were overthrown by an evil king, Galbatorix, who now rules the land. I liked how at the end of the series (spoiler!), when Eragon goes to leave Alagaësia, he does not know if he will ever come back.

Literature is composed with many thoughts and ideas, the limitations are miniscule. For example, Sylvia Plath formulated her experiences and time period into a plot to compose her novel.
