The Shout

Shark Teeth “Liv, stop following me!” Pat shouts. “ I can go wherever I want to!” I clamor back. Grains of sand cave in and as I run to catch up with my older brother. Squinting my eyes at him while sneering, soon I was skipping forward. Letting out a sigh behind me, Pat decides to follow me on my tour down the beach. After a few minutes, I hear, “Liv! Get over here.” Rushing over to him, in no time at all, I’m looking over his shoulder. A small, black shark tooth is being turned in…

In Act III, Hamlet is able to act in Scene iv but not in Scene iii because of many reasons. When he sees Claudius kneeling, Hamlet says, “Now I might do it pat, now ‘a is a-praying, / And now I’ll do’t. And so ‘a goes to heaven” (3.3.73-74). He says here that he could easily kill Claudius now while he’s praying, but then Claudius will go to heaven because he is purging his soul and he is “fit and seasoned for his passage” (3.3.86). So Hamlet then says, “Up, sword, and know thou a more horrid…

My wife's dead. CALLER: Yes, you killed me. JOHN: Fuck you. [He hangs up the phone, stands, opens the window and shouts out.] You stupid bitch. You stupid dead bitch. [Shuts window and turns back into the room.] Jesus H. Christ. [His wife stands before him with a knife in her chest. He starts and draws back, at which he wakes.] The three Fates loom over him. "Guilty," they shout. With a sigh, John shuts his eyes, again. The heart monitor sounds out a constant beep. "He has flatlined, again…

Hebrews like fish in a net (Hab. 1:15). Zephaniah extends this jubilation to Yahweh himself: "Yahweh your God is in your midst, a victorious warrior. He will exult over you with joy; he will be quiet in his love; he will rejoice (yagil) over you with shouts (berinnah) of victory" (Zeph. 3:17). This same meaning applies to the victory celebrations of the enemies as well. David prayed, "Consider and answer me, O Yahweh, my God . . . lest my enemy say, 'I have overcome him,' lest my adversaries…

to me as I uncovered a dead bird. I slowly got up and handed it to Tituba, immediately she began to swing it in the air and chant. The girls and couldn't contain their excitement and began to scream and shout. Tituba's chants got louder and louder and the girls followed suit with even louder shouts. The girls were all calling out their wishes. They wanted Tituba to cast spells on the boys they loved.…

on them. “Ahh!” They all screamed and held on. A couple seconds later the gargoyles dropped them off into a pile of jello. “Okay Willy, what’s going on?” Violet asks. “Okay kids, umm...you see, some of our recipes…” “Just tell us old man!” Veruca shouts. “Ok well, some of our recipes “went bad” in the making. And they made monsters. It-it’s even in the newspaper. That’s why I thought this was canceled.” Willy answers. Ouuoo! “Oh, no! Is that a werewolf?” “Yeah, umm...you see, the werewolf’s…

The Isley Brothers were an R&B band but did not shy away from their fair share of big band work. The original version of “Twist and Shout” has brass instruments playing along with them while the Beatles kept the song within their own members of the band. Overall sound of the two songs are also very different. The original has a very mellow tone to it that brings out the harmonies and…

Being different means that it's harder to blend in with everyone else. It means that it is easier to be singled out by a group of people. It's easier being noticed in a negative sense. It makes you an easier target for being bullied. Middle school is supposed to be the transitioning years. Everyone is finally growing up but no one seemed to be maturing. Day after day, waking up in the morning, I dreaded going to school. I was different from the other kids, or at least they saw me as…
