Here, she had the sight of a hawk. None of those idiotic pirates noticed her presence yet, but almost eye level with her was none other than Cedric, holed up in a lavish cafe across the bustling street, toasting her good efforts with a dastardly smirk as if to say, “Having fun, I see.” He

The dank room was dimly lit with the flickering lights of the street which could be seen beyond the cracked window. The man whistled his favorite tune. He rested his chin on his rough hand. Memories of his lonely childhood replayed in the back of his mind. A young women, about the age of 20, slowly came out of unconsciousness
ground like a soft blanket, and the smell of freshly bailed hay roamed the little parking lot full of vendors. As I got out of my car to walk under the festive tents a lady who seemed quite important and knowledgeable about the Bridgeport Farmers Market walked by ringing a bell. People started traveling through the tents discussing with vendors and other shoppers about an array of things; like the weather or ‘this eggplant color is so rich’ or ‘the healing power of the cookbook.’ Quickly, the

Although The Picture of Dorian Gray is considered to be a short novel , it contains some commonly found elements in a fairy tale. In the following essay I am going to present the similitudes that Wilde’s novel shares with fairy tales and give my opinion on whether the novel can be considered a prolonged fairy tale or not. One thing that needs to be taken into consideration is the fact that in this novel not all the elaments of a fairy tale are present. For example , in Oscar Wilde’s novel the time

It was my first day of school at Sartell Middle School and I was shaking in my shoes I was so nervous. I was a 7th grader and had just switched schools to Sartell.

amusing. Mr.Mead talks about how the streets are so quiet he says, The street was silent and long and empty, with only his shadow moving like the shadow of a hawk in midcountry. If he closed his eyes and stood very still, frozen, he could imagine himself upon the center of a plain, a wintry, windless Arizona desert with no house in a thousand miles, and only dry river beds, the streets, for company.
