She excused herself in a hurry, the chair almost tipping over with how she leapt out of her chair. The heels she wore to graduation loudly clicked on the floor of the restaurant as she locked herself into the bathroom for the evening. Usually she would have shrugged off her rude comment and went back and joined the conversation as if nothing had been said, but Ivy felt guilty and upset. It didn’t make her feel better to sit on the lid of the toilet either as she buried her face into her hands. Her comment was something akin to a mistake, she should have just said she was leaving and going to college, that’s what her statement should have been instead of; “I’m afraid I lack an answer”. While those might have been her internal thoughts, she shouldn’t have lashed out like that on the poor unsuspecting brunette. …show more content…
Ivy would have stayed there all night if it hadn’t been for the rapping of Clarice’s knuckles outside of the door. “Ives, yo, come on. We’re leaving.” Clarice said, drumming her nails obnoxiously to the beat of some pop song that had been blaring from outside of the bathroom. “Fine, yeah, just give me a moment.” Her voice was muffled through her hands and before bothering to unlock the bathroom door, she wiped her face with her sleeve and took a deep breath. However those attempts did little to cover her puffy, blood-shock eyes and tears stained cheeks. Clarice smiled pitifully and clicked her tongue upon seeing her girlfriend. “Dude, it wasn’t that big a deal, really.” Ivy made a sort of choked, muffled cry in response as Clarice gave her head an affectionate pat. “Alright, alright. Let’s go crybaby, you can hang at my place. My mom is going to be out tonight too, place is ours.” She added with a chuckle, pulling back from the hug to kiss the trembling lips of
“I’m fine!” they rushed out, forcing their eyes to meet with his. It almost stung. “I really am fine.”

“There, we can see your beautiful face again,” she says, depositing the washcloth into the murky water, and extracts the bandages and tape from the medical kit. “It's not bleeding, but knowing you, you'll figure a way to open it up again.” She grins.
“I wasn’t sure how I liked my cousin warning me not to hurt someone. I wasn’t that guy. What do you think I’m going to do her? The question came out annoyed because I was. Maggie’s frown became pinched. Ivy Hollis. Last I checked you were dating her. Then she turned her all-knowing, haughty ass around and walked away. Well damn. I guess she was right. I couldn’t get to know Willa and keep my
“I told you sweetie, she is in a better place right now. She won’t be coming home.” She looks up at me with tears in her eyes. “That’s not fair! Why would he leave us?” “It wasn’t her fault baby girl,” I say tearing up. “I WANT TO SEE HER NOW!” Amelia starts screaming. “You can’t see her!” I shout back.
The pad of my thumb slides over my cheek, wiping away tears. I step closer, putting my hands on her hips, pulling her closer. “I don’t understand,” I admit. “Why are you so upset, Juliet? Why are you overreacting? I went to a bar, drank a little, and kissed a girl.”
Ivy is a talented art student who once was Melinda’s friend. In art class they become close again and she believes Melinda
For this story, I will use Mrs. Mallard as the example, and will discuss her challenges and struggles. According to the text, she was “afflicted with a heart trouble," so based on that alone we know that she struggled with delicate health issues. The narrator further described her as, “young, with a fair, calm face, whose lines bespoke repression and even a certain strength.” The ‘lines’ or wrinkles of repression that he speaks of is most likely caused by the stress of suppressing feelings or emotions in her life. Although she described her husband in a positive light, I do not believe she was happy and/or in love with him. My assumption is based on the fact that she demonstrated an incredible sense of relief when she thought he had passed on.
TIM is a 21-year-old college student. He lives in a dorm with two roommates. He writes short stories as a hobby and to keep himself occupied on lonely Friday nights. Moreover, he drives a 2001 silver Honda accord with a 2008 Obama bumper sticker. Tim is a very compassionate person because he cares more about other people than himself. But that can be his downfall because Tim is gullible. He trusts people too easily and sometimes they take advantage of that fact. His roommates are always late on their rent because Tim always lets them slide believing that they would pay him next time. As a result, Tim would have to work extra shifts to pay his share and his roommates’ share.

In “A Scrap or Time and Other Stories”, Fink 's writings challenge this idea of restraints of moral behavior on critical situations, for example those who were either compelled or forced to go to Germany to do “charitable” labor for the Reich. The question really was, can they be judged by standards that overcome in these ceasefire societies? Fink tells individual stories in a modest way, in the sense that she seems to avoid using ordinary words. Instead, she uses images, symbols, and metaphors, especially those originating from nature to highlight these facts that allude to the overall picture of the short stories. This can be seen in the opening story, “A Scrap of Time, "The Garden That Floated Away," and "A Spring Morning." This very sense of symbolism and metaphors as well as the minute details throughout the stories as a whole aid in providing a coherent pieces that allows the reader to distinguish the fact that many of the stories are not only interrelated but written by the same author. In the stories, many of the people mentioned are influenced by two types of memory the flat one which records the predictable everyday events, and the jagged one which influences deeply into the unconscious layers of the mind. In “A Scrap of Time” this very essence of a flat memory that described the predictable was quite evident within the first couple of paragraphs, “I had left my house after eating a perfectly normal breakfast, at a table that was set in a normal way.” (pg. 4)
“Off course Momma E.” I smile to her as we finish embracing. I turn to Eli as he guides us towards the exit. All I can think is how everything went down tonight.

I hope Eli tells me about what happen between him and Marie, because that will tell me if he’s really into me, if he really wants a relationship with me.
