The Attic Door

Ruth was a young girl when the war started, only about seven years old. Ruth was born in Poland Warsaw and lived there until 1944 with her mother, father, two older sisters and older brother. One large part of Ruth’s life during the time of the war was when she moved back to Warsaw from Russia and her family got put into a ghetto. German trucks began to come into the ghettos and grab people right off the streets and everyone knew that whoever got put onto those truck wouldn’t be coming back.…

complete mayhem has broken out in the house. The attic door swings open, exploding with a heaping ball of dust. The smell of moth balls emanates throughout the space as a rickety old ladder wobbles back and forth. Suddenly, lawn chairs drop from the hole in the ceiling, followed by box fans, fishing poles, and sleeping bags. The hum of the air compressor vibrates the garage walls as many giant pink flamingos come to life, barricading the kitchen door. The screeching voice of my mother…

The bookcase opened and then became the door to the annex. Then you have to walk up the stairs to the little opening to…

held the flashlight as my mom and dad quickly grabbed food and water out of the cabinet. “Eddy, keep the light on the cabinet!” Yells my dad. The murky water was up past our ankles, submerging our torn sneakers. Dad opened the door and brought down the ladder to the attic.

and Bram Stoker’s Dracula. I would argue that perhaps more than in any other literary period, any textual inclination towards sexuality deteriorated as the eighteenth century progressed, ‘desexualising’ it, or, at least confining it to the bedroom doors of married couples. Additionally, whilst essentialist arguments surrounding sexuality have historically cast the subject as ‘taboo’, interestingly, I have found an underlying sexual tone in many novels of this period, with a distinctive shift in…

Smith had to help, he helped Ms. Smith get up. Then they sprinted. They sprinted into the kitchen to be safe from the doll. The doll could not be outsmarted, it had a wire in her hands. Mr. Smith looked like a tomato. So he threw the doll to the door and it broke into pieces. He tried to take out the batteries , but the doll had no batteries.

The actors and actresses embodied their characters with all their hearts and did a wonderful performance. The director could not have picked better a better crew to…
