“I can’t believe they still do this tradition! I Thought they would have stopped it after what happened when i went there,”Miss Wumburg, kaleys mom mumbled remembering what happened. She was with her friends at the time and she had noticed a large group of people around the stone wall.She immediately recognized the person that was surrounded,Emily. She turned toward her friend and asked what day it was,although she was sure she knew. “Freak the geek day” she spoke solemnly. Miss Wumburg turned once again to glance back at Emily…….it was too late. She watched as the girls knocked the rock wall’s edges onto Emily.”on no”She spoke as she was running up to her…….”how could you do something like this”she screamed at the laughing girls.”it’s funny”they
The bus ride, was very boring they didn’t allow any talking or socializing in any form, it didn’t look like those 3 years were going to be fun and games.” Hooonk!!!” Friedchickeniqua couldn’t believe it they finally arrived, she stumbled off the bus, and while they unpacked her belongings in her school, she remained outside to admire the encryptions on the wall. Whappot School for Girls is one of the oldest buildings in all of Shenebra, she made her way into the entrance, and went up the flight of stairs. She was hoping her roommate was going to be Ella Julian, but soon she found herself disappointed it was only Mya she was the most vane person she has ever seen, she thinks she is one of the royal families. “Boop!! Boop!! Boop!!” It was the school’s emergency meeting alarms, Friedchickeniqua ran as fast as she could down to the emergency meeting room. She quickly sat down and noticed that there was a member from the Julian family, she was confused. “We have found that the long lost baby is a 11 years old Whappot female.” They announced. Friedchickeniqua heard gasp all over the room, 85% of the girls there were 11 year old whappot girls. Later, the superintendent announced that they were going do a blood testing, Friedchickeniqua froze in
what time it was and she looked instinctively at the wall though it was pointless because here they didn't have any clocks. You
“Our parents are never just going to let us go to a cemetery! I said.Wait my mom’s grave is there”.I said.You’re right we can tell your aunt that we’re going to see her.”Emily said. DEAL?......DEAL!After school, we ran into the city bus stop, it’s about an hour drive there so we took the bus.When we got out it was pouring down rain.We waited for the bus to leave,then we had to jump the fence because the cemetery was closed.Once we jumped the fence we ran to the mayor’s grave.OH NO!I thought. The coffin was barred.”What are we going to do now?”Emily said.”I have no clue?”I replied in defeat.”I’m so sorry jade!”She said, touching my shoulder.”NO”I said.”What?” She replied confused.”We can’t give up……………. GO GET ME A SHOVEL!”I said.”Whatever you’re thinking...stop!”Emily said worried.”Just go find me one!”I demanded. “ ……….... FINE!” she replied. When she got back, she handed me one shovel and we both
Emily’s mom continued to allow Emily to go to the nursery and be mistreated by the teachers there. Emily’s dislike and fear for going to the nursery led her to make excuses such as, “Momma, I feel sick”, “Momma, we can’t go, there was a fire there last night,” Momma, it’s a holiday today, no school, they told me (par. 15).” Her feeling and rational belief that the nursery is a petrifying place, resulted in a hated outlook on school. As a mother instead of looking for alternative care, she decides to give into Emily, and let her stay home affecting her ability to socialize with other children her age.
Go back in time think of what it would be like to live in the 70’s, where everything was disco, and women were looked at from a whole new perspective. Within the town of woodsberry there was a little girl named Emily who was 9 years old, but she always felt like she was all grown up. She was a proper girl who always liked to dress-up and wear her mother’s shoes, although there weren’t many shoes, she made do with what she was given. Her mother, Eleina was a 32 year old housewife and her father, Jonah was a 36 year old factory manager. They lived in a 2 bedroom apartment right by main street; one of the busiest streets in the city.
Emily is faced with a problem -- that is, someone is sneaking into her room and stealing small pieces of jewelry, handkerchiefs, cigarettes, etc. Emily suspects that Mrs. Allen is the culprit and thus visits her room to confront her. While visiting Mrs. Allen, Emily initially displays a sense of respect for the elder Mrs. Allen, complementing her ability to decorate and personalize her room. Emily refrains from disrespectfully “jumping” on Mrs. Allen and does not blatantly accuse her of stealing. Rather, Emily slowly introduces her problem, explaining her dilemma, gradually implying Mrs. Allen’s involvement until she remarks “It has to stop. If it doesn’t, I’ll have to do something about it.”
“Well, Molly Kathleen mentioned something about visiting the Fairlea’s chapel. I’m positive there’s never been a chapel at the Fairlea and I’m positive Molly Kathleen knows it as well, having pestered everyone about historical facts and dates while she did her research of Off End.” Sally walked slowly past Lital and Anna, turning her head towards her friends and purred:
"Ouch!" She yelled out in frustration, "where am I"? There was no reply to be heard. She took out her flashlight (which she ‘borrowed' from her dad) and shone it to get a good look at her surroundings. Emily found herself in a dark and lonely pit. She wasn't too good at math, but she made a fair estimation that it was around three times her height, therefore climbing was not an option. She ruffled through her bag in attempt to find something useful. Her face lit up is it was greeted by a walkie-talkie. She switched her walkie-talkie on and started talking.
Maisie looked at her fingers which she had written “GAME” on her right hand and “OVER” on her left. She practiced her punches with her fist against the air, making a sound effect after each hit. Her dad was a street wrestler and had shown her some tricks for self defense, although Maisie only used them for anything but that. After they each finished drawing the symbols on their arms with the marker, they got up and headed towards the door. They all wore the same school uniform which consisted of navy blue collared shirt and a white tennis skirt with white sneakers. Maisie stopped at a mirror to look at her new nose piercing she made with her mom’s sewing needle as the other two waited by the door. It was still red and sore but she acted like it didn't hurt. She walked through the two girls, pushing them aside with her elbows and grabbed onto the door handle. The door had to be opened a special way because it had been so beat up. She stuck her foot under the crack of the wooden frame and lifted it up making the locks meetup to the right position. She twisted the handle and they were ready to leave for the
A teacher from Emily’s school is the catalyst, appealing to Emily’s mother: “‘I’m sure you can help me understand her. She’s a youngster [...] whom I’m deeply interested in helping’” (Olsen 1). Emily’s mother initially resists, claiming that, even though she is Emily’s mother, she does not have the key to unlock the secrets of her daughter (Olsen 1). However, her mind transports her back in time to contemplate the facets of Emily’s childhood from the moment she proclaims in the first line, “‘I stand here ironing, and what you asked me moves tormented back and forth’”
Emily took a big breath. She ran forward………and put her arm out. Margret looked up in confused. But she grabbed it anyways. She let go of her hand, and tried to hobble, but ended up falling again.
Once the last person left Rachel released her arm from holding Rebecca’s waist. Pushing off from the wall Rachel looked over at Sara and replied with a mesmerized look, “I have no idea. Yesterday, there was some commotion as well, but nothing like this.”
Whoa! Who are those two. I think they are the new kids that everyone has been talking about. I think I heard that they have had many adventures and experiences with others and like to solve mysteries. I think they are a little strange from what I have heard and apparently so does everybody else. The kids are making fun of Max and screaming, “KILLER KANE! KILLER KANE! HAD A KID WHO GOT NO BRAN!” Now what are they doing? I can’t believe what I’m seeing! They are getting up on the table and chanting something. Well if everyone else is doing it, then I will too. FREAK THE MIGHTY! FREAK THE MIGHTY! FREAK THE MIGHTY! Wow… now they’re going to the principal’s office. Such brave soldiers! My first impressions of Max and Freak were that they were
Moments go by, and the crowd awkwardly clapped as we stepped off the mat. “What did we just do” I thought to myself. Nobody even knew what to say because of how horrible we've done. I didn't think it was that big of a deal but when I tried talking to Emily, she was mad. She ignored everyone, wouldn't talk to people, and was just all around angry.
Soon after a car pulled up to the scene with three guys who stepped out. Taking a minute to stare at the family down into the ditch, they began communicating. The children were in shock from being involved in this bizarre accident, only able to shout at the guys that they have just been in an accident. The grandmother still in a frenzy gathering her thoughts together blurted out ‘We rolled over twice’ but then the older guy corrected her saying he saw the accident (possibly from afar) and saw the car roll over ‘once’ he said. The unfortunate part of this predicament came as the grandmother studied the man a bit more. she seemed to recognize him so she begun to stare more intensely at his face as he spoke. She soon noticed that he was ‘The Misfit’ who had escaped from prison.
