Dear Milly's Short Story

Maloney continues to change in a more external form, including her appearance and social status. After the murder, she has trouble regaining her composure and personality of old, and she goes from being a beloved and treasured wife to a widow as a result of one hasty decision. A piece of textual evidence that sheds light onto one of Mrs. Maloney’s outward appearance and personality changes is, “She sat down before the mirror, tidied her hair, touched up her lips and face. She tried a smile. It came out rather peculiar. She tried again. ‘Hullo Sam,’ she said brightly, aloud. The voice sounded peculiar too. ‘I want some potatoes please, Sam. Yes, and I think a can of peas.’ That was better. Both the smile and the voice were coming out better now. She rehearsed it several times more,” (Dahl

No matter what back ground a person comes from, there is always an in the beginning. My experience is that the in the beginning was God created from nothing in six days, the seventh being a day to catch his breath. While the beliefs we are studying here in this class may differ from my teachings, there is the common thread that something came from nothing/chaos. A common ground that the world should recognize and build upon.

To be haunted means more than to living in a house inhabited by ghosts, but to have the ghosts of loved ones continually affect the living for the rest of their lives. In Jennifer Finney Boylan’s memoir, I’m Looking Through You, she attempts to mentally understand how the word ‘haunted’ held significance in her life. In the memoir, the main conflict deals with her finding out if she had haunted herself when she was James and living in Coffin House and then wanting to make peace with her father through ghost hunters she hired. This conflict becomes resolved when she speaks to him as a ghost, to tie up loose ends with him. The author gained the understanding that she must make sense of her past in order to not feel so haunted herself, such as

People sometimes have tough ordeals. Some may act negatively toward the problem, but the people that act positively toward the problem are able to see hope in places where they wouldn’t expect it to be in. People have been through cruelty, yet they continue to stay positive. People still have the positivity to cling onto their last hope, or even continue to think positively when there is no hope at all. People like Anne Frank, in Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl, continue to stay positive throughout the horrible ordeals that have happened. Some of the Japanese in Dear Miss Breed: True Stories of the Japanese American Incarceration During World War II and a Librarian Who Made a Difference have continued to stay hopeful while in internment

Charlotte Gilman, through the first person narrator, speaks to the reader of the stages of psychic disintegration by sharing the narrator's heightened perceptions: "That spoils my ghostliness, I am afraid, but I don't care--there is something strange about the house--I can feel it" (304). The conflicting

So how did all of this begin? Let us go back to a time where

Though it was it shameful to admit, she struggled to remember the image of her grandmother. The more she tried to focus on it, the more it slipped away, like losing a dream after you wake up. She could feel herself losing the relationship she once had as a young girl. The sun seemed to dim in the windows and she had to wonder if it was just her imagination.

The dark, cloudy night approached covering the town of Kingsville. The young girl, Kyara, coming out of the library after finishing packets of homework, stood outside the parking lot waiting for the arrival of her parents. It was midnight and her parents are taking longer than usual. Kyara looked around to see if anyone seemed to be present and she felt a presence of something to be nonexistent. The presence felt stronger and stronger each minute that passed and Kyara became to feel uncomfortable. The wind blew and made a whistle which made her get chills. All of a sudden she heard a voice far away. She turned to see and became surprised of such sight.

Once a long, long time ago in a land not so far from here, was a valley with huge, green mountains all around.  There were trees that scaled high into the clouds; bushes that were as thick as a lion’s mane.  In the middle of the valley was a tiny village called Swinder.  This village had a king whom the people loved.  The king was a large, joyous man whose laugh was contagious to those around him.  He would listen to what the village people had to say and take their opinion into advice when making a decision.  The king had a son called Milleson and a daughter called Caroline.  Milleson was an ambitious young lad with eyes as blue as the ocean, and while his intentions were always meant to be good he often got in trouble.  His sister, Caroline, was beautiful and admired by the village.  She was as kind as her father and the heir to the throne.

I am writing this letter to tell you how much you are meant to me. From the moment that I saw you, you steal my heart. Oh, my dear Edna, you do not know how much I am dying here in Mexico. I missed you so much. You know, it is warm and hot here, but my heart only has light when I thought about you, my dear Edna. I missed your eyes, the sparkle of your smiles, and your soft touch.

Twenty one year old Maricel has just relocated to Los Angeles, after landing a leading role in a film. Just before she is about to head to work, she notices the white jewelry box is open, that she had closed earlier.

For the past three years ever since she dozed off in senior calculus she is haunted by a mysterious entity by the name of Claudius. She decides to go through with the meeting, still skeptical that she is actually in contact with a spirit.

When Oly remarks that as Arty got stronger, Al and Lil wilted, it is a powerful message that explains the changing family dynamic. Within their immediate family, as well as their carnival family Al and Lil had always been held with the utmost regard. As Arty's act and fans grew, everything began to change for Al and Lil, as well as the rest of the family. Al was no longer in charge, and it was clear, that even from his tank Arty was running the show. There were many mornings when Al would go around to give orders, only to find out Arty had already been there. I think the hardest blow to Al's ego came from the hiring of Dr. Phyllis. Aside from the show, medicine was Al's biggest passion. “He was a masterly stitcher-“scarless wizardry, as he

“Its bizarre how one situation from your past can affect your future and every decision you make for the rest of your life (Millican).” Allison Millican, a strong young lady, has been through many major life-changing events growing up.

All things have been created and have a beginning. The world being the largest creation in recorded history. There are many different theories of how the world was created, many different cultures have their own “creation myth”. These creation myths all have an obvious contrast between them, as well as a large similarity that creates a large connection. The creation myths of the Japanese, Australian, Christianity and Greek cultures all have their own individual understanding that makes a miraculous story of how all things present this day came to be.
