In “One for the Road” by Stephen King, Tookey is an example of the wise elder stereotype because he knows all the facts about ‘The Lot’. This story is about two old men who are working in Tookey’s bar one night, when a man walks into the bar saying that he needs help. The man, Gerald Lumley, told the two men that him and his family were traveling and his car got stuck in the blizzard at Jerusalem's Lot. Lumley left his family in the car while he would go look for help, but what Lumley and his…

As the two children poke around the abandoned shop and find old treasures. To any passerby they would look like normal children, a little on the skinny side, but other than that normal.

A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens shows the theme that anyone can become a better person if they look upon their past. The reader learns that even someone like Scrooge can become a great man. At the beginning of the story, Ebenezer Scrooge is a greedy, rude man. On pages 17 and 18 he refuses to donate any of his money (Which he has plenty of) to the poor. On page 20 a caroller comes to his door and Scrooge makes them run away. On page 15 he refuses his own nephew’s Christmas meal invitation.…

They move into a house next to a nutty older man named the Aviator. The Aviator introduces the girl to an extraordinary world where anything is possible, which is the world of the little prince.

F. Scott Fitzgerald has a very critical view of the world and he illustrates that in the short story “Winter Dreams”. The main character Dexter, lives a life full of want and contempt, longing for Judy. This story is six sections long which infold the unlikely lives of Dexter and Judy. F.

A Christmas Carol A Christmas Carol is a wonderful play. It was worth doing, because it had amazing characters that made the play real. A Christmas Carol play was directed by Henry Wishcamper. The directed had worked hard to make this play so perfect and interesting to watch. I understood everything that director wanted to say. This play is old, but every new director wants to make it classical, and also add something unique to it. This director didn’t change the play, but he made it so…

A Parody of Bella The book I read was “Nightlight: A Parody” by The Harvard Lampoon.This is a book similar to the book and the movie “Twilight” and the plot is slightly different because it is a parody. It was about a 17 year-old named Belle which moves to Switchblade, Oregon to live with her dad. She meets a guy in high school named Edwart and falls in love with him. Throughout the story, she gets to know more about Edwart’s family and she finds out that he and his family are vampires, but she…

yet the face had no a wrinkle in it, and the tenderest bloom was on the skin. […] But the strangest thing about it was, that from the crown of its head there sprung a bright clear jet of light, by which all this was visible” (Dickens, 55). The Ghost of the Christmas Past shows Scrooge his past days that have made him to be the man he is today. Shown from the past, Scrooge is “rejoiced beyond all bounds to see them” but later he ends up alone as the others parted to spend Christmas with their…

In this extract we see how horrible and selfish Scrooge is. We get an insight in how Scrooge looks, and therefore what he is like as a person too. As a whole, the extract makes Scrooge seem isolated and rude, and that he only cares for money and no one else. There is lots of imagery in this extract which tells us about Scrooge. For example, ‘hard and sharp as a flint’ suggests that his personality is grey and dull. Also it could suggest that his heart is rock hard and almost impossible to melt.…
