Wanted

“Wanted, Only One Way Out” It is finally night and I started to walk on the streets only to see papers hanging everywhere saying “Wanted! An extremely dangerous German Hitman! Reward is a Royal Crown.” I finish reading the rest of the paper until I see my picture on the bottom. The next minute, I hear something metal drop somewhere around me. I look around and see nothing. I hear something else fall and I look around again until I see someone in a black hoodie staring right into my eyes. Whoever…

realized that what I was doing was not acceptable. When school started, other girls didn’t want me to play with them because they thought that I was weird. At that time, I was so confused and didn’t know what I could do to feel accepted. That’s why I wanted to be like Mr. Incredible.…

Timothy Findley’s Not Wanted on the Voyage is a re-telling of the biblical story of Noah and the ark. Adam was created in the image of God. He was made to care for the Garden of Eden and the creatures that inhabit it. Eve was created because “it is not good for the man to be alone.” (Genesis 2:18) She was created from Adam’s rib. She was his property. A similar dynamic between male and female characters exists in this novel. The story is set in an extremely patriarchal society where women are…

Catherine Tran Writ 340 Professor Murray Aborted Girls, Wanted Brides Cultural preference for boys in parts of India results in some of the largest imbalances between males and females in the world. This leads to sex-selective abortions and infanticide of girls, while boys are prized because they are believed to mature as leaders of the world and household, as they pass on the family name and traditions. This perpetuates the ongoing role of patriarchy and the customary belief that men are…

Though people of high social status are usually regarded as successful, if one follows his heart, he can find a role in the society that leads them to comfortable and enjoyable life. In Muzaffer Izgü’s “Wanted: A Town Without a Crazy”, Hilmi Bey used to work at the mayor’s office. He “[puts] numbers on documents, [kowtows] when [he] [enters] the mayor’s office, and [wastes] all that time for a mere thousand lira a month” (455). Various verbs in the sentence all contribute to the formation of an…

The Pumpkin Which Wanted to Become a Chariot It was close to midnight when Betty the pumpkin was deeply asleep when she was awoken by an intense light. She slowly opened her eyes and asked her fellow pumpkin who was right next to her. -What is that? -Shhhhhhhhh- her neighbor said-, I’ll tell you in a minute, I’m trying to listen. Betty saw two women talking, one of them was a beautiful young lady dressed in rags, her clothes were old and stained; the other was a bright lady, literally. As a…

Nonetheless, Alexie often describes his characters in religious terms. The collection contains countless references to both Christianity and traditional Spokane spirituality. For example, the refering to the Bible by way of a passing reference in “All I Wanted To Do Was Dance” shows Victor in a religious light, comparing him to a significant figure in the Bible. In the same way, Samuel Builds-the-Fire's story about the creator god Coyote tells a great deal about his approach towards white people…

When the email appeared in my inbox, I knew it was bad. The subject heading read: “Wanted: Matt Kennamer - Attempted Murder”. I clicked the link and his old mug shot appeared on the screen. It was him alright - a picture from a previous arrest for a D.U.I., his face swollen - the eyes bloodshot. A shit eating grin that said ‘I’ve been here before and I’ll do it again. Fuck you, these walls won’t hold me.’ He’d bailed out receiving a fine and substance abuse classes. This time was different.…
