Trudy Alternate Ending

One day, Eldora received a letter from her mother explaining a lot of unanswered questions. Eldora was thrilled to know that her mother was not dead, and was alive and quite well. Eldora’s mother said that she would soon come by to pay Eldora a visit and to tell her why she had been unable to care for her the past few years. However every time she was due to visit, she would have something come up and not be able to visit. Until after about the 3rd reschedule, when she was finally able to come into the city for a visit. Eldora was scintillating with happiness and very eager to see her mother for the first time in what felt like forever. When she saw her mother and she immediately began to look for every similarity, such as eyes, voice, hair, even the way that she walked.

The second imagery in the memoir explains she dreams of having her sister’s teacher and has been wanting her to read the book “The Adventures of Mabel”.

Tizbeth rushed forward and sliding on the ground so the golden, cat woman missed her, sailing over her head. The fire pit stopped her with a crunched to her shoulder.

A group of three boys and two girls laughed, as they threw stones to his forehead.

At that moment, she shrieked out, “Owen is driving me out of my mind!” Not caring if anyone heard her, she screamed as loudly as her lungs permitted. Of course, on the lonesome, unofficial road, no one did. Still, she wished someone, anyone, had heard her cries for help.

“Ugh…”, Jackie sighed, “Joe...They killed my parents. My parents are dead”. I was in complete shock. I had no idea something so tragic had occurred. I just thought that Jackie was overreacting about something minor as she usually does.

Mary Alice Duncan woke with her heart pounding like a stoned drummer doing the fourth encore of Moby Dick. She pushed herself up from the sweaty hollow in her crumpled sheets with shaking arms then scooted back until her back was propped against the wooden headboard. She wrapped her thin arms around her, willing her body to stop trembling and the blurry dream images to

“Connor, mom and I are going to make breakfast without dairy for you in about 15 minutes. We’ll need to leave our house at noon since we need to be there by 1:00 P.M.,” my dad claimed. After knowing this, I got a glass of refreshing ice water, went into my family room, and I took my usual spot on our couch to watch some television. I knew I was nervous, but I didn’t want that to conquer my success. Once I was settled in, my siblings came stampeding into the family room.

“Good,” was the girl’s reply. They walked out of his house and climbed his his run down car. The paint was chipped, and it needed new tires, but he adored it. They had decided to go get frozen yogurt, as a cool treat on a hot summer day. The frozen yogurt shop was packed to the brim with sweaty, smiling faces, in for their favorite flavor. As he sat down next to Paige on the curb with his slightly melted dessert, he thought about all the hard times he had just been

“Your grandfather didn’t just die Faith, he was murdered. My father put rat poison in his wine that night that our families got together for a dance. I tried so hard to stop him but he locked me up in my room so I couldn’t.” Embry had a shaky voice and a loud cry now. My head swarmed with terrible thoughts that I couldn’t get out of my head. My whole family thought he died of a heart attack. What if my parents really knew the truth and weren’t telling me? Why is Embry going for me and not anybody else? I collapsed to the ground. Lily immediately ran out from the popcorn cart and held me tight. It felt like my world was coming to an end. Embry kept apologizing like it was all her fault.

Constance held her breathe as she hid in the forest, watching the Rhians fight with the young dragon, pulling it through the woods toward Rhiaiowln. Emi let out a small growl, and Constance quickly placed a hand on her dragon, quieting her. She glanced at the Rhians to make sure they hadn't noticed Emi's growl before backing into an area where the trees were thicker. The Rhians didn't seem to notice anything. They had their full attention on their own dragon, who had suddenly become wilder as though she knew another dragon was close. Constance kept a hand on Emi as she hid behind the dense grove of trees. They were hidden fairly well, but Constance didn't think they were hidden well enough to stop the Rhians from seeing them if they began searching. After all, it was difficult to completely hide a dragon.

Cathleen hopped off my bed, where she was reading the comics pages of a newspaper from my stash, while I begun to stand up, feeling stiff and numb from sitting on the floor for so long. We rushed out of our room and down the (admittedly very short) hallway to the kitchen table. I hoped lunch was something warm; maybe soup or chicken with rice. Rather, it was ham and cheese sandwiches with chopped carrots and ice water.

Even though selflessness will always be driven by serving one's values, feelings, or desires which is ultimately serving you, altruism does exist. Altruism exists when it requires a person to sacrifice for another without consideration of personal gain because not every act has a selfish motive. People must learn to contribute to life through objective reality because it universalizes existence. Everyday life is filled with small acts of altruism. Or maybe altruism does involve being self-interested after all.

"Did you, for example, happen to hear someone, a woman I think, sobbing in the night?"… "That is curious, for I did when I was half asleep fancy that I heard something of the sort. I waited quite a time, but there was no more of it, so I concluded that it was all a dream."

My mother was sitting there on the couch and said “I told you so” but I just ignored her and went back to my bedroom. I sat in my bed wondering if Eugene’s mother told
