Shook

In the awakening of dawn, Ralph sat up on the thin mattress set down on the hardwood floor. He barely got any sleep because of the thoughts that ran through his head during the night. It had been a week since they were rescued from the burning island, and he was finally in the comfort of his own home. Throughout the week, Ralph struggled to close his eyes as the wind whistled through the air. You’d think that after finally being rescued and being in his own home with his family, he’d be thrilled…

” “Nah…just let me catch my breath.” After about five minutes I was ready to play again. We ended winning 109 to 106 in three over times. People stormed the court in celebration but security quickly stepped in and cleared the massive crowd. We shook hands with the opposing team and made our way to the locker room. First thing I did was take a piss and make sure I wasn’t pissing blood, then I took a shower.…

Simon’s vulnerability is shown in this extract, when the beast points out that Simon is all alone, “There isn’t anyone to help you. Only me. And I’m the Beast.” Since he is alone, with the beast, no one can help him, but also because this is a figment of his imagination, so no one else can see the beast apart from Simon. “Only me” is used as a minor sentence and it seems to be implying that he is the only one who can help him.

But when they noticed that the white settlers craved for gold, the natives brought gold to trading posts, and bartered them for tools. Soon, words got…

a boy that lived down the street from me in Gaffney. About my age. His name was Walter Wryson. He used to run away from home all the time and come to our house. Not for any good reason. His daddy didn't beat him. He had clothes on his back. The Wrysons had way more money than we did, but run away he would, at least once a month and come straight to our place. Now, usually, my mother would call his mother and she'd come and fetch him. But about the ninth or tenth time this happened, Walter ran…
