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.

The two best friends Pennywise and Taylor part 3

When Taylor got home her mom said
“ I’ve been worried about you where were you? ”
“ You would never believe me.” said Taylor

Taylor was tired so she clogged all of her sinks, toilets and drains so that the mysterious clown named Pennywise she made cry could not sneak into her room at night and eat her. Taylor awoke in the morning to her alarm clock it said 6:15, it was time to get ready for school. Taylor got into the shower to get all clean for school. After that she combed her hair that’s when she heard laughing coming from the drain in the sink. She quickly plugged up the sink with some toilet paper in the bathroom. Then she heard

“I’ll get you next time HAHAHAHA!”
“SHUT UP PENNYWISE!” Taylor yelled

Pennywise was frightened and fled back to the sewer. Taylor ran into her closet to get dressed once she was all ready she went downstairs to the smell of liver and beats (Taylor’s favorite breakfast). Taylor wolfed it down quickly and ran outside to get a ride to school.

“ I don’t want you staying out late like that anymore.” Taylor’s mom said
“I told you I DON’T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT!” Taylor screamed

Taylor was so angry she threw he mom out of the window. After Taylor drove to school she set her moms car on fire. When she got to school there was nobody there, but then Taylor saw she got here to early because her Mom usually drives her to school slowly . Inside of Taylors road rage she crashed into anyone in sight to get here. So Taylor picked the lock to get inside of school because it was very cold out and then she broke into Mr. Giese’s Laptop cart to play internet games until it was time for school. A half hour later Taylor was inside of first hour. Taylor had to go to the bathroom when she got out there was nobody here again. She looked everywhere, so she decided to go home because her mom probably got home by know to feed her lunch. But when Taylor got home there was nobody there either. Taylor decided to go to the gun store incase this was Pennywise’s doing. When she got there she picked up a machine gun and a pistol .
That was when she saw Pennywise she mowed him down, and defeated him easily by mowing him down with her machine gun. Pennywise stood up

“YOU WANT SOME MORE TAYLOR YELLED!”

Pennywise didn’t say a word. So Taylor mowed him down again and reloaded the gun. Then she pistoled Pennywise in the head. Pennywise was gone, but she still heard him laughing so she decided just to leave. She was walking up by village park and heard a screeching sound from behind her. She turned around to see Jason coming after her with his machete. Taylor unloaded clip after clip into his head, but it had no effect.

“Jeez Jason you’re a lot harder to kill then Pennywise!”
All of a sudden out of nowhere Taylor heard a screech from Pennywise

“No he’s not!”
Jason started to laugh and said
“You have problems with that messed up clown to”
“Yes!” Taylor said
“Stop talking about me!” Pennywise yelled
Pennywise turned into his true form a giant spider. Jason approached Pennywise and sliced all of his legs off, and then they ran up and kicked pennywise in his weak spot over and over. Jason threw Taylor an enhaler and three steel balls with a sling shot before pennywise ate him. Taylor ran up with the inhaler and said.
“THIS IS BATERRY ACID YOU SLIME!”
Pennywise’s face started to melt where she sprayed him and then she shot him in his head with the steel balls to finish him. The End…….. of part 3

Imagine that you are a boy named Nick ten to thirteen years of age, your Dad takes you to an Indian Camp. He takes you here because he wants to show you a pregnant women. When you are here you experience a mother having birth, and see a man who has killed himself! In the story Indian Camp there is the plotline is tragedy and the lesson is that the father is trying to show his son things that go on in the world.

In the beginning of the story the main characters world is in conflict; he has to leave his home knowing a pregnant women is waiting for his help. When he gets there to help her she bites him. After this there is a rise to power; the baby does not die and the birth is successful. Next there is a tragic flaw they just leave the women. A important symbol I noticed in this story that I noticed was that it seemed that the women who had the baby was just used the once the baby was born the husband just killed himself. Another thing is that once the baby was born e Father and his son just left.

Even though this story is a Tragedy there is also a very important lesson in this story. The lesson is that the dad is trying to teach his son about the real world and what goes on in it like life and birth. Something went wrong though, the dad only wanted to show his son the birth. The son also ended up seeing the man who killed himself in this story. It is still important for his son to know these things though because life and death happens a lot in the real world. Obviously Nick’s Dad knew that these were things that he really needed to know these things.

In this story Nick learns a lot from his journey to the Indian Camp. Some of the symbols in this story are pretty weird to, how the women was just used. When Nick went to the Indian Camp he wasn’t expecting to see a man full of blood from killing himself, and neither did his father. Still though he did learn from it. This stories plotline is definitely a Tragedy and there is a very important lesson to it.

The two best friends Pennywise and Taylor N

Once upon a time a kid named Taylor Norman was walking on the sidewalk going home from her friend's house. Then all of a sudden she heard laughing coming from the sewers HAHAHA she didn’t know what it was. She looked down there and saw a clown then she said

"Pennywise!"
"Thats me," said Pennywise laughing.

“Do you want a balloon?”
“ N-N-No,Taylor said.
“Do you want to be friends?” he said.
“Sure!” said Taylor

So Taylor jumped down in the Sewer with the mysterious clown and they had many fun times together, but soon pennywise got hungry and wanted something to eat.

“I’m Starving" said Pennywise.
“Me too!” said Taylor
“I’m going to go home now,” said Taylor
“But what about me!” said Pennywise
“If you’re hungry get something to eat.” Taylor said
“Can I eat you.”
“No!”
After hearing that Taylor tried to run but it was too late Pennywise grabbed her and bit her arm off.

“YUMMMMY!”

With Taylors free arm she punched him in the mouth and saw blood everywhere. Then she took a steel ball out of her pocket and shot him in the head five times to his death.


Part two

The clown strikes again
As Taylor was walking home a man said
“What happened to you.”
“A clown bit my arm off.”
“That’s cool.”
“NO ITS NOT!” Taylor yelled

Taylor struck the man down with a headbutt and Shot him in the head

“Naughty Naughty Taylor,” The Clown said

Taylor tried to run again but what Pennywise didn’t know was Taylor was only joking about running. Penny wise came after her then Taylor jumped in the air and lashed out with a flying side kick. Pennywise didn’t even have a chance to cry out he fell to the ground in excruciating pain then she kicked him in the spot no man would ever want to get kicked and Pennywise cried like a little girl.

"JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!"
“FINE!" Taylor said

The End

The Monkey's Paw

Imagine that you have three wishes from a monkeys paw what. Is the first thing you would wish for? You have to be careful though because the monkeys paw takes your wishes and turns them into something twisted and horrible. In the short story “The Monkey’s Paw” the plotline is a romance, and the story's point is to tell people to be thankful for what you have and to be careful what you wish for.

How is this story a Irony? To begin with it is unrealistic. In the beginning of this story it is a perfect world. The old man and his wife have excellent lives and a great house. On page eight of the story he says “It seems to me I’ve got all I want”. After this a mild conflict comes into the story which is the monkeys paw. Another thing is in this story the old man is not in control whatever he wishes for is twisted by the monkeys paw. On page nineteen he cried “For God’s sake don’t let it in” referring to his son he just wished back to life. Notice how he said IT. The son dying is at the end of the story which is the death symbolism at the end.

Though the plotline is Irony there is a very important lesson to this story as well. The main lesson or moral to this story is that you have to be thankful for what you have. Some people weren’t as fortunate as the old man in this story. The old man had a home and a wife, food, and clean drinking water. The old man had all the things he needed; then wished for money on page eight of the story when he said “I wish for two hundred pounds”. Then it ruined part of his house. If he didn’t do that it would have never happened him. This story has a very important point to it.

In real life you have to be very careful what you wish for; because sometimes it can happen. When it happens sometimes it happens you are unable to change it back. This story has an important point to it and the plotline has a lot of proof it is a romance.

A Clean Well Lighted Place
By Joe E

Imagine that you are an old man with no friends, life, or companionship every night you have to sleep alone. Wouldn’t you want to be somewhere besides at home all by yourself? In the short story “A Clean Well Lighted Place” there are three different characters that have different personalities.
Within this story there is an old man who lives all by himself. Since the man is alone he likes to stay at the café really late at night sometimes past midnight. On multiple pages of the story he calls “another brandy”. The reason why the old man doesn’t want to go home ever is obviously because he doesn’t want to be alone. A wife was what the old man once had, but now she is gone maybe the old man is just depressed. Inside of the story the old man attempted to kill himself by trying to hang himself but his niece saved him. This is definitely a sign of depression and loneliness .
Besides the old man there are the other two waiters; the older waiter seems to understand the old mans loneliness. Another thing that the older waiter does is not get mad the old man likes to be there. On the third page in the story the younger waiter say “ why doesn’t he just buy a bottle and drink it at home” after hearing this the older waiter said “it’s not the same”. This shows that the older waiter probably knows what it is like. Maybe the older waiter has no companionship as well. Overall the older waiter is much more polite than the younger one.
While the older waiter is so kind and polite to the old man, the younger waiter is being terrible and nasty to the old man. The cruelest thing that he did to the old man was on the second page of the story. All the old man wanted was another brandy and the younger waiter said “you should have killed yourself last week” . Another thing that the younger waiter does is always complains that he wants to go home and says he’s tired. It is kind of weird; why does he have this job if he always complains about it?
As you can see the three characters, the old man and the two waiters are all very different and all have unique personalities. It is hard to live by yourself when your old even in time today. There is nobody to take care of you when you are sick, or if you fall down and are unable to get up. You need family and friends around you no matter what your age.
