Summary Of The Search For The Stone Heart

Great Essays
The Ponyville bookstore was crowded, to say least. Ponies waited in line for the newly released Daring Do novel, The Search for the Stone Heart. Filled with maddening rows of bookshelves, along with a multitude of loquacious and querulous ponies, it was rather an uncomfortable place to be in; and Rainbow Dash loathed being in a strait environment like this because her wings and joints got stiff from the lack of active movement, though, luckily, she was next in line to get her copy of the novel.

Rumour had it that this novel would feature a small biography on A.K. Yearling, and how she comes up with fantastic ideas for her novels; but Rainbow knew it was a mindless pretence that the fan base created to generate speculation. Rainbow and her

He glanced up at Rainbow and said, “I’m sorry. I don’t see your name on the list of pre-orders.”

Rainbow’s facial nuances twitched in confusion and vexation. “Can you repeat that again?”

“I don’t see the name of ‘Rainbow Dash’ on the list of pre-orders,” he said.

Rainbow’s euphoric smile had dwindled to a dissatisfied expression. “But how? I ordered it a month ago.”

“I don’t know. Another employee might’ve tossed it out. Didn 't you get a receipt?”

“No, I didn’t,” Rainbow said, facepalming. “Check again.”

“Why?” he asked. “Your name isn’t on the list.”

“Just do it.”

“No, I won’t,” he said. “Are you going to purchase this book or not?”

“I didn’t bring any bits with me,” Rainbow said.

“Well, I’m sorry, but you can’t be holding up the line anymore if you can’t make a purchase. Now scram.”

“But, I…”

“You’re holding up the line,” the bookseller said, glaring.

You gave into an humiliating defeat.

“Shut up!” Rainbow said aloud, stopping in her tracks, her furious voice travelling into the distance. The outburst of anger disrupted nearby ponies, and they stopped to stare at her, pondering whether or not she was addressing them. Some of them glared maddeningly at her for the cause of disturbance, whilst others had a genuine and sincere expression of concern.

Embarrassed by her sudden eruption, Rainbow’s cheeks reddened, and a simian grin marked her face. “Hehe, sorry about that guys. Don’t mind me, I was just leaving.” Flaring her wings out, like an enraged dragon about to take charge, Rainbow lanced into the sky, leaving the perplexed ponies behind; and as her elevation increased the sight of the entire town swam into Rainbow’s gaze.

In the centre of Ponyville, the library stood reticently, away from the in-town distractions, despite it being surrounded by the tiny dots of individual entities that continued on with their daily lives. The structure was so obvious and lucid to Rainbow.

Maybe Twilight has a copy of the new Daring Do book.

Making up her mind, she descended her way to visit the library, in hopes that her friend had a copy of The Search for the Stone

    It’s hard to believe today that Walt Disney was once fired because he “lacked imagination and had no ideas,” or that the Beatles were cut from a record level because the company didn’t think that they had a future in show business. (Weismen) Still harder to believe is that J.K. Rowling’s world famous book ‘Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone’ was rejected by no less than 12 publishers before it was finally published in 1997 at the insistence of Bloomsbury chairman, Nigel Newton’s daughter Alice.

    In both of Edgar Allan Poe’s terrifying short stories, “The Tell-Tale Heart” and “The Cask of Amontillado” a murder is described in the eyes of the perpetrator. In “The Tell-Tale Heart” the murderer kills an old man because he believed that the old man’s milky eye was evil, whereas in “The Cask of Amontillado” a murderer kills a man who had previously insulted him. Edgar Allan Poe utilizes the narrator’s disturbing point of view and the cynical tone to entertain the reader with a suspenseful and horrific story. To begin with, Edgar Allan Poe describes the murder in each of the short stories through the unreliable point of view of the perpetrator which gives insight of their twisted perspective enhancing the suspense of the story. When the narrator in “The Tell Tale Heart” enters the old man’s room to kill him, the narrator describes how, “but even yet I refrained and kept…
