After three straight blows to the head, he punched me so hard I blacked out. I awoke still tied up in a chair, but I would never tell him where our secret base was hiding.
“Please! Ple-e-e-ease! Please let me go!”someone in another torture chamber yelled.
I didn’t know what would happen to me here, I certainly did not want to die here. The man who was torturing me left. All of a sudden I see him come back in with a gun. Then I hear gun shots and the man in the room laughed. I knew I was next. He aimed the pistol toward me, but then the door burst open. Then I see flashes of gunshots coming from the doorway. I see the interrogator drop dead to the floor.
A man walks in, it was the U.S. Marines, they instantly untie me from the chair. Then one of them throws me an assault rifle, it’s time to leave. As we are running out I hear explosions.
“What’s happening!” I yell
“I don’t know” One of the marines yells
Then there is an explosion I go into shell shock I can barely hear. I get helped up by another marine. They say we have to jump out the window in the river. One of the marines yells and jumps out the window. I go next, but jump to far and try to roll on my shoulder instead of going legs first. I roll and look towards the window. The last marine jumps out, but as he does the buildings explode. He is caught in the explosion and gets launched by it. He lands on his side next to me. He is alright.
We jump in the river and take a boat. They tell me to lay down, I’ve been through a lot. I lay down. I wake up to one of the marines shaking me. He says we need to get to a plane. We steal it easily with some disguise uniforms on the ship. In about 3 hours we are back in America. Soon we get to a base, one of the commanders there says I can go home, to my family.

Godfather Death
Imagine being a man who already has twelve children, and you can barely support them. Now you have to raise of thirteen kids. What are you suppose to do know? Money doesn’t grow from trees or just appear, so you hire Death to be your new son’s godfather. Death gives your new son a gift, and asks for one thing; which is he asks your son to never cheat him. Your son cheats him though; but it does not turn out well for him. In the short story “Godfather Death” there is very important symbolism and the plotline is an Irony.
Inside this story there is a very important symbol that shows why the boy cheated his Godfather. When Death gave his godson the herb that could heal anyone; he said “but if I stand at his feet then they are mine”. Then the kings daughter grew sick and needed a doctor, the king said "whoever makes her better will get a hefty reward and one day be king". This was a sign of greed for money and wealth when he still healed her with the herb. After this Death brought his godson to a place full of candles representing life and death. The godsons candle was shortest of all. Death threw his candle on the ground killing his godson.
Along with the important symbolism the plotline of this story is an Irony. To begin with this story is highly unrealistic. Death is everywhere in the world people die, but a skeleton named Death is not real nor is a room full of candles representing people’s lives. In the beginning of this story this world is in chaos the man has to find a godfather for his son. When he says to Death"you are the right godfather you take the poor and the rich without distinction". Near the end of this story the main character, the godson is struggling for life Death is about to kill him. In the end it ended in death when Death killed his godson for cheating him. Obviously all of that wealth and being the king was way more important then the boys godfather.
In this story the main character is not in control. The boy can make the decisions in life, but if he disobeys Death then he gets killed. Depending on when Death is standing at the persons feet or at their head that is what his godson must listen to. If he doesn’t listen Death gets outraged and attacks him. When Death said "It is all over for you. Now its your turn". But if you make a promise to someone you love you must keep it, because if you don’t that person may not forgive you. It was a good deal that the godson had he would have been rich and famous anyway, but he had to mess it up and it ended up in his death.
You can’t lie to or cheat people you love . You don’t want to ruin your relationships with those people. Especially with Death because he will kill you. When you make a promise you must follow it. This would be a hard decision to make though if you would even listen to something this big. That still doesn’t matter . If someone does something good for you then you do something good back. This story had very important symbolism you must pay essential attention to and the plotline is an Irony.

Harrison Bergeron
Imagine that you are in a world where every single person is exactly the same. If someone is taller, stronger, smarter, or better looking than somebody else, they are forced to by law to wear handicaps that slow them down, or a mask that make them look revolting. Some people are smarter than others. In this world if you are you must wear a buzzer in your ear that make atrocious sound, and you can’t think straight. Say your stronger than someone else, the government makes you wear weights that slow you down and make you equal to other people. Experienced dancers or ballerinas that are better and faster dancers than everyone else have to wear the weights as well on their ankles slowing them down to. Will you rebel against the government or just take the abuse? This is a hard decision to make considering you can get fines, and go to jail, or even a death penalty. In the short story "Harrison Bergeron" there is very important symbolism and the plotline is an Irony.
Inside of this story there is a dance between Harrison and the ballerina. This dance represents Harrison’s want for freedom in this story. Before destroying his, the musicians, and the ballerinas handicaps he yelled “I am the emperor” showing how he wanted to make a better world for people, and trying to make a world without handicaps. A thing about the handicaps is how they were sort of like a jail to the people holding them back and not letting them do things they are capable of doing. Everyone is different and that is what makes the world enjoyable. We in the world our each others audiences we all watch each other weather what were doing is good or bad.
Besides all of the important symbolism the plotline to this story is an Irony. To begin with this story is highly unrealistic. During Harrison’s and the ballerinas dance the story said they jumped up and kissed a ceiling thirty feet high. Another thing is that if it got to the point in this story all the people would probably attack everyone in the white house. People would rebel and wouldn’t wear the handicaps. The main character in this story is not in control because everyone has to wear the handicaps. One of most important things in this story though is that who ever reads it probably thinks (at least my life isn’t that bad). In the end of this story ends in death Harrison and the ballerina are shot to death by the Handicapped General, and Harrison’s parents don’t even remember it. At the end his dad said to his mom “you been crying” then she said “yup” “something real sad on T.V.”.
Now what would you do inside of a world like this?It would be horrible to live here, all of these stupid handicaps and the Handicap General. The world is different and that is the way God made it, the Handicap General is pretty much disrespecting this by what he did. This stories plotline is an Irony and there is very important symbolism in it.
