Notes
The Sniper:
Is about two clashing groups, and in the end the one sniper realizes he has shot his brother
The Most Dangerous Game:
- Was about survival, and in order to survive one must use their survival skills and needs to be able to change and adapt to the environment. In the end Rainsford ends up beating Zarof in his own game and survives.
Marigolds:
-it’s about what makes you happy. The main character hadn’t had much, but she had her flowers. And they had been her symbol of happiness. She had looked for happiness in the darkest places.
Filling station:
-it’s about a bystander who was looking in on an old gas station, and she sees a rundown grubby, greasy place. But then once she begins to look deeper in, she sees that it’s not so bad and it actually has some happiness in it. She sees color and flowers and some beauty in it all. The theme is also seeing the brighter side to things. And that not everything is what it seems to be.
Rebellion of Magical Rabbits:
-it’s about trying to have total control over everything. The wolf represents a dictator. He denies the rabbits their freedom and the fact that they actually exist. However in the end, the rabbits rebel and prove to the wolf and everyone else in the kingdom that they do too exist.
To Kill a Mockingbird:
-it’s about over all justice and treating people equal. In the trial of Mayella Ewell and Tom Robinson, the jury had only believed Mayella because she had been white and believed had been taken advantage of. The jury had refused Tom of freedom because he was black.
Animal Farm:
-it’s about how basically power corrupts people. And how things may start out perfectly, but then sooner or later once one thing falls apart, the whole system beings to slowly seep into an utter hell.
A Black Man Talks of Reaping:
-it’s about a man who has worked so hard to get what he wants. But then in the end, no matter how hard he has worked, he still doesn’t get what he want. The theme is it doesn’t matter how hard you work, you might not get everything you want/deserve. (Life can be unfair at times)
Boy with his hair cut short:
-it’s about growing up in the great depression. It’s basically saying that some people grow up sooner than panned. He had to go out and get his own job, and he had low hope in himself and had been worried he wouldn’t get a job.
Written in pencil in the sealed railway car:
-it’s about a mother and her two sons. Ad how it’s put in the time of the holocaust. Through the poem she says that he’ll never see one of her sons again, mainly because he had already been killed because of Hitler. The one son Abel represents every innocent person taken during that time, and then Cain represents every villain such as Hitler.
Crow song:
- It’s about a bird that is basically looking down on people who flock back to this one area with hope that over time something will be there. But the bird knows that there’s no hope, and that no matter how many times they come back there won’t be anything there. The field will always be dry and foodless. The bird knows how hungry they are, and seeing that he’s considered the smarter one, he feels that he’s more superior to them.
Stalin Epigram:
-it was a short witty poem
it’s saying that Stalin picks off on by one as he hears about the things they say about him. Even though he may not be present as people are speaking of him, word eventually comes around about it. And as he hears of what they say, he kills them off. You could whisper something about him when he’s 40 miles away but he would always find out you said something.
A couple going on vacation but his wife was on a business trip so he went to the destination first and his wife would meet him the next day.
When he reached his hotel, he decided to send his wife a quick email.
Unfortunately, when typing her address, he mistyped a letter and his note was directed instead to an elderly preacher’s wife whose husband had passed away only the day before.
When the grieving widow checked her email, she took one look at the monitor, let out a piercing scream, and fell to the floor in a dead faint.
At the sound, her family rushed into the room and saw this note on the screen:
Dearest Wife,
Just got checked in. Everything prepared for your arrival tomorrow.
out in the daffodils a bird rummages around the little girl's shoulders. The piano up in her attic is missing a key. in the bathroom her dad hums to himself while flossing his teeth.
Yonder in the piney woods, Timothy pattered over the leaves and roots searching for a kill. His long ears quivered as as a sound wave bounced off of his ear drum and reiterated back towards the source. He grew stiff, his nostrils flared he could see the moon beams shooting through the trail of a scent. He rose and quickly followed the trail, picking up on the twists and turns. Sure-footed, he knew he'd never trip on rocks or logs as he bound over outcrops and sprinted through small dabbling creeks disturbing the sleeping creatures underneath.
The soft crushing of leaves that vibrated through his ears grew closer, as he withdrew his speed he crouched low under the blackness of the forest. He glared at the creature that stirred lazily, chewing on the leaves of a wild blueberry bush. He prowled around it, as hidden as possible never deferring the glare of his amber eyes on the small beast.
With a quick lean in and hop, he opened his jaws and had his thick teeth locked on his prey. The little thing never saw it coming. And as Timothy pierced its lung, it let out a little "Meeerh". Maybe in Timothy's eyes you could see them light up when that little noise came out. Maybe it was more than a kill to Timothy. Deep underneath the crusty black fur that grew around his rib cage and underneath the pure black substance that pumped through his grey veins and fed the black coal that fueled his energy. And inside the depths of himself and what made Timothy what he was. That kill of the small creature made him who he was and he enjoyed that kill more than he did consuming it.
Now this is the story all about how
My life got flipped, turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel-air
In west Philadelphia born and raised
On the playground where I spent most of my days
Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool
And all shooting some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys, they were up to no good
Started making trouble in my neighbourhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
And said "You're moving with your auntie and uncle in Bel-air"
I whistled for a cab and when it came near the
License plate said "fresh" and had a dice in the mirror
If anything I could say that this cab was rare
But I thought nah, forget it, yo homes to Bel-air!
I pulled up to a house about seven or eight
And I yelled to the cabby "Yo, homes smell you later!"
Looked at my kingdom I was finally there
To sit on my throne as the prince of Bel-air
