A Foolish Hale: A Short Story
“My pack is old Alwyn, older than most, but Hale paid no heed to our age. It was a mistake. Our memory is ancient and we have legends and truths that have long since been forgotten. Foolish Hale. If they had recalled how we obtained our name, they would have left a sleeping dragon alone and I would not be here.” (Actions and so forth.) “Any fool can make a rule. And any fool will mind it. The rules that they made, we followed some, but we are not asinine. Many of their rules were useless to us, more like guidelines that told of to be careful, and we were. At home no human harmed us they were our kin and we protected each other. But to some these broke the Hale’s rules.” (Actions and shit) “When you seek revenge, dig two graves. The night my …show more content…
Only…Only I made it out. (Actions and shit) “I traveled the world and regained a bit of what the monsters took away from me. However, I know my father well. I often had to return to stop him from attempting to destroy more lives. He kidnapped children and adopted families into the pack with the intention to make more like me. Each time I stopped him, but he won’t stop until Hale is dead.” (Actions) I won’t stop until Hale is dead. (Actions) I heard of you Alwyn during my travels and I knew that you and yours could help. So I convinced my father to help you. One pack is strong. Two is stronger.” (Actions) “All I ask for in return chère, is that you kill my father and help me kill those like me. Him and his creations need to disappear and he would expect a death blow from me.” (Actions) “An old pack and a new pack joining forces would send a strong message. Don’t you think? (Actions) “I’ll give ya three days to decide, sugar and when I return I’ll expect an answer. During that time fix up the mess you made earlier with your woman. A pack needs to be unified and a lover’s quarrel could destroy

    The story-Huckleberry Finn-is written mostly using nefarious characters supporting the same immoral ideas. Ideas contradicting the protagonist. The quest to reach freedom in certain chapters becomes futile. But, the freedom-seekers do not quell to accomplish their journey. Jim an Huck have been deprived from their freedom and enmity was a part of daily life. I agree with “Leo Marx from Mr. Eliot, Mr. Trilling, and Huckleberry Fin” that in the end they are back to the beginning. Despite Jim’s declaration as a free man at the end of the story, my thoughts are that his freedom was lived and enjoyed on the river, island, and places explored with Huck.…

    Nationwide, students in history classes study and learn about the infamous incident known as the Salem Witch Trials of 1692. Through textbooks and research, students learn about this event from a factual and objective point of view. Students learn such facts like 19 men and women were hanged because they were convicted of witchcraft. Students learn the essential information as deemed important by their teacher; yet, students do not have the opportunity to learn about the trials from a subjective and personal point of view. Arthur Miller uses such a view point in his play The Crucible, which personifies the sentiments, attitudes, and standpoints of the people in Salem who were directly involved in the trials. Through Miller's poignant perspective, he shows the readers another side of the witch trials – through the eyes of the actual participants. One such participant in the play who provides the readers with this valuable perspective is Reverend John Hale, a minister from Beverly who is called to Salem to investigate Salem's eccentric problem. Nonetheless, Reverend John Hale's perspective does not stay constant throughout the entire play. In Arthur Miller's The Crucible, the beliefs and principles of Reverend John Hale change dramatically, as the events of the Salem Witch Trials cause him to question his moral values and initial intentions.…

    Antoine de Saint-Exupéry stated, “It is only with the heart that one can see rightly”. He implies that humans understand and comprehend the world by different means and rely on different sources to provide the truth. People use their senses, reasoning, emotion, and what others have taught them. However, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry expressed that in order to understand something for what it is truly, emotion is the most truthful and applicable source of knowledge. This source implies that what is true is equal to what is morally correct and just. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s statement is true and this is represented by the thoughts and actions of the characters throughout Mark Twain’s novel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.…

    I have always been a man of God, and I used to believe with all my heart that what I did was for him. I took it upon myself to find impurities in the world and banish them, whether they be cursed spirits, demons or, most common, witches. I was good at it as well, where I went, witches died, but let me tell you now; every single man or women hung by my order had evidence that they were evil so thick that it could not be ignored...their deaths don't bother my conscience.…
