The Witches Shack Once upon a time in a tiny peaceful home in a tiny peaceful town, lived a family of 4; Momma, Papa, Lucy and Ricky. Lucy and Ricky were at times the best of friends and at others the worst of friends. Lucy was a quiet innocent girl and her brother Ricky always insisted on picking on her. “These dear children are always fighting” said momma in a worried voice, “I know” said papa “but whatever do we do”.
Momma and Papa thought long and hard about the possibilities, their home was situated in the middle of the city amongst all the hustle and bustle of the horse and carriages. Momma’s aunt Cindy lived out with in the forest. “We shall send them to my Great Aunt Cindy’s, they shall walk and learn to work together to arrive together safely” stated momma, “Is that a safe idea?” asked papa, “yes” she replied with confidence. So the next morning the children were told to pack for a short vacation. Their parents gave them one map and directions of how to get there, along with just enough food to last them until they got there. The instructions were simple: Follow the path the whole way, do not stray. To stray is dangerous.
Lucy and her brother Ricky started on their way. The cobble stone path winded around the tall green pine trees for as far as the eye could see. As always Ricky was taking the lead and bossing around his little sister, “Hurry up Lucy, you’re walking so slow”, yelled Ricky, Lucy who was struggling behind him yelled “I’m trying but I’m much slower and much more week then you”. Lucy continued to struggle behind, and Ricky did not seem to care.
They walked for hours arguing the whole way. They finally came to the bottom of a hill, and just over that hill you could see Aunt Cindy’s cottage; there were two ways you could take the path which went up and over the steep hill, or the short cut and simply walk around the hill. “Let’s just walk around, it takes less effort” cried Ricky.

    On an early weekday morning after Christmas, many inches of new snow had fallen. Seven-year old Annie Dillard met the boys’ ages eight, nine, and ten in front of her house on Lloyd Street, where they had snow nearly to the top of their boots. The two oldest boys were Mikey and Peter Fahey who lived near Dillard on Llyod Street. The tough kid Chickie Mc Bride was there and Billy, Paul, and Mackie Kean too from across Reynolds Street were the boys grew up. The group of kids wandered around their neighborhood looking for action, when they had found it on Reynolds Street. It was a chilly day that wintery morning with clouds afloat in the sky. As the cars drove down Reynolds Street, you could hear them coming from afar, by the clanking of the chains on their tires. As the cars drove past, the chains on the tires left different grove patterns through the fresh snow. Dillard and the boys began making perfectly shaped…

    Light streaked in the heavens as the pair made their way carefully over the uncertain terrain. The boy's footing was surer than the girl's, though both made good time, both were used to the sort of scrambling required to move quickly over the rocky hills, wary of unseen holes that threatened to roll an ankle. The boy was ahead of the girl, moving swiftly, threatening to leave her behind, if only because…

    Eli gave his mother an incredulous look. First of all he was the one who had wanted to walk this morning, not her. Second of all they were all adults at this table. She discreetly stamped on his foot, digging the heel in until he leapt up with a short gasp of pain. Victoria gracefully glided to stand next to him and slipped her arm through his. He escorted her to the garden with great annoyance (an emotion he seemed to feel most around his impossible family) and they walked in silence for a short while before someone spoke.…

    There once was two little kids that were playing on their small, family farm. Nancy was seven; she loved playing Hide and Seek. Davey was four; he loved playing Kingdom. Their father was in his mid thirties. He typically spent over ten hours in the field each day; however, he still had to bring in over three-fourths of the crops, and in less than two weeks, it was going to get too cold for the horses to work in the field, so for the past week he had spent about eighteen hours out in the fields. Their momma was in charge of all of the housework. She made all of the meals and taught the kids. Since it was getting colder, it took longer to cook the meals; so, she hoped that her husband would be done on the field soon so he could help her with more of the housework.…

    They would often fight with each because they were jealous of Papa and his baby brother since they were their father’s favorites. Papa’s sisters, one in particular, Dale would get in trouble and blame it on her the other siblings since she was one of the baby sisters. Even though they fought numerous times, they had good times too. They would go to church every Sunday, played baseball and football, and went hunting and fishing. They mainly did these things because they lived in the backwoods country of Texas and that was what was really out there doing the 1940s and 50s. There was just dirt, trees and the sky something I am glad that I was not born into. In the next state over, as a child, Nanny was not raised by her mother but instead by her grandmother and aunt. They were heavily involved in the church since her grandmother and aunt were the so-called “key holders” of the church meaning, they just unlocked the doors of the church whenever the pastor needed to be there or had service. Nanny’s childhood activities included going to church every Sunday, taking piano lessons, attending Mardi Gras and spending time with her cousin Burnell. He was more like her brother since that was her aunt’s son and was always getting into trouble unlike Nanny who was a “goody…

    Away Essay

    • 2247 Words

    The famous Chinese philosopher, Lao-Tzu once stated “A journey of a thousand miles must start with a single step”. This idea suggests that all journeys need a starting point and many events involved on the journey will hold great significance. This is one of the many ideas I have learnt from my study of “Journeys” during my area of study analysis. To journey is to move from one point to another, not just in a physical sense but in imaginative ways as well. As we journey we learn new things about ourselves, the world around us and life in general. This is particularly evident in the prescribed text “Away” by Micheal Gow in which the characters go through much pain and suffering to ultimately be cleansed by the natural world surrounding them. Characters such as Coral, Gwen and Tom find themselves taking journeys “away” from their usual existence and learn much from this. Micheal Gow is well able to express these journeys through his elaborate use of technique in representing the ideas of his play. This essay will explain a multitude of ideas I have learnt about journeys with reference to “away” and its technical representation. I have also learnt much about the concept of journeys through the related text of “An Occurrence at owl Creek Bridge”. Therefore this essay will also explain ideas that I have learnt about the concept of journeys through this short story and I will relate these ideas back to my prescribed text of “Away”.…

    Unique names and titles contribute greatly to the success of fairytales. In classic fairytales, readers identify the protagonist as an icon, rather than a requisite to push the plot. Timeless “appellations,” such as “Cinderella,” “The Little Red Ridinghood,” “Snow White,” “Blue Beard,” etc. inheritably connect to public impression. Nowadays, every name has a story behind it, and the name itself is a story.…
