Huck And Jim Jim Escape
1,055 words
Everyone needs someone to care about them. Usually
a person relies on their family to fill that role.
Besides caring, a family member offers many other
roles. A family provides for, relies on, teaches
and protects one another. A family member also
teases, plays jokes and gets mad at each other.
Regardless of the type of relationship two family
members have, they are there to care for and guide
one another. Throughout the story The Adventures
of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, the two main

In any form of business, whether it is a fast food
franchise or a large insurance firm, there is a
hierarchy of employees. There are basic employees
that provide rudimentary skills, managers that
guide and manage employees, and the owner (s) that

children in which they can usually operate

In Eudora Welty's "A Worn Path, " the problem of
the story wasn't clear in the beginning of the

she had to walk from her countryside home to the
city to get the medicine. Those weren't Phoenix's
only problems; she was very old, she wasn't in

vivid day in the lives of the villagers, It was a
beautiful summer day, the wind was slight and the
flowers in full bloom. This was in fact an odd
setting for the events that will take place in the

both came from families stressing creativity and

Stoned To Death Shirley Jackson
1,112 words
The Lottery by Shirley Jackson is a short story
that without the symbolism of its characters,
would amount to little more than an odd tale about
a stoning. However, because of what each character
represents and the way the setting helps to
magnify those representations, it becomes a short
story that is anything but short of meaning. The
first character is probably the most obviously
symbolic character of the story. Every word that
leaves Old Man Warners Mouth reeks of tradition.
He never stops c...
