Little Jack Horner

I hear myself huffing and puffing as Lena and I run away from the terrifying loud cops chasing after us for stealing some food. I start to slow down exhausted but what keeps me going is the terrifying look on my poor sister's face, so I have no choice but to keep going. The police are getting closer and I am thinking thank god they didn't bring the dogs. I grab Lena´s hand and I pull her into an alley that is completely dark hoping to lose the police. We lean against a wall covering our mouths…

Flecks of blood still clung to his hair, yet his eyes no longer held the wild and feral light they’d once had. “Everything is quiet here,” he whispered, watching his lips move in the reflection. Loneliness ached in his bones, filling his chest with a gnawing need that couldn’t be satisfied. Gone was the laughter of his little brothers, the…

the office trailer at the stone yard, to save money monthly. I was told during my meeting that I would be the supervisor over Christa and Mary but was not to say anything yet but to start streamlining processes for SOT to roll into SFS. This was a little hard to do when I was unable to explain that I was their supervisor and was going to make changes to the current way tickets, logs etc… were handled. I was also told that we had to get rid of one of the girls and it was…

The first theme is Little Women is the necessity of work for balance and functioning. According to the text, “As the height of luxury, Meg put out some of her sewing, and then found time hung so heavily that she fell to snipping and spoiling her clothes in her attempts to furbish them up a la Moffat. Jo read till her eyes gave out and she was sick of books, got so fidgety that even good natured Laurie had a quarrel with her, and so reduced in spirits that she desperately wished she had gone with…

the sea witch in disgust as she slowly nodded her head. Ursula said, “Come with me, my darling.” Ariel had no idea how this was going to happen, if it was going to be painful, and what she was going to do with her tongue. She followed Ursula into a little room where there was a chair for her to sit…

Who is the Little Mermaid? For me, when I was growing up, all I knew was Disney’s version. The Little Mermaid was a teenager named Ariel who fell in love with a prince named Eric. He was on land; she was in the sea. Going against her father’s advice, Ariel goes to the sea witch Ursula so that she can walk on land as well. Through ups and downs, the story concludes happily and everything is a fairytale ending. That’s what fairytales are--happy endings, right? In today’s society, when we hear…
