Hello Moto By Nnedi Okorafor
Pure Evil

The story I chose this week is Hello, Moto by Nnedi Okorafor. The story is about three friends; one, Rain creates three wigs by combining witchcraft and technology. The wigs were created with the intention of benefiting society, but things do not go as planned. Two of the friends, Philo and Coco use the power in the wigs for their own interests. My favorite character in the story is Philo, one of the evil friends, suspected of starting a riot in the North. The two ignoble characters draw life essence from their victims, Philo’s approach is very personal. Philo is a tall, beautiful, sexy woman who enjoys walking through the market, where vegetable sellers offer her their money, and young men stare, with laser eyes she takes

    Study Question 5. In the novel -- Bless Me, Ultima -- written by Rudolfo Anaya, the events are set during and after World War II. Rather than being significant to the story, this particular moment in history takes more significance in the molding of the characters which eventually drives the story. In the text it says, “The men of the town had murdered Lupito. But he had murdered the sheriff. They said the war had made him crazy” (24). As read in the quote, World War II directly affected those immediately involved in the war, for instance, Lupito. However, it also indirectly affected young Antonio, due to the impact left on the people Antonio was exposed to. Being exposed to these people, Antonio witnessed events that made him develop his own…

    “The Rocking-Horse Winner” by D.H. Lawrence is an unpredictable, fairytale-like short story about a mother of three who constantly worries about her financial problems. She has a son who is fervent about figuring out a solution to her predicament. This story also has an abrupt ending that gives off strong emotion. Another short story, called “The Lottery”, has the same spectacle of ending the story with suspense. Written by Shirley Jackson, this story begins with a sunny day in a village, but miserably ends with the stoning of one of the villagers. “The Rocking-Horse Winner” and “The Lottery” are two sensational stories that have tragic ironies; however, they differ in tone and style.…

    The Prices and Incomes Accord was an agreement between the Australian Council of Trade Unions and the Australian Labor Party government in1983. The Accord developed at a time when the only response to inflation appeared to be to slow down the economy. Employers were not party to the Accord. Unions agreed to restrict wage demands and the government pledged to minimize inflation. The government was also to act on the social wage. At its broadest this concept included increased spending on education as well as welfare. This was seen as a method to reduce inflation without reducing the living standards of Australians. At the beginning of the Accord, only one union, voted against the Accord. The Accord continued for the whole period of the Labor government through seven stages including, after 1993, enterprise bargaining.…

    When reading a short story, you may not be fully aware of how much you are actually getting out of it. Whether it contains an intricately woven plotline filled with suspense or is a less-complex fable, there are so many things you can learn from short stories.

Furthermore, besides entertaining us and teaching us new writing techniques, short stories contain valuable lessons that readers can learn from and apply to life.…

    A long time ago the difference between perception and reality was defined as the act of understanding in contrast to the act of being real. Reality could be tricky; most of us including myself depending on scenarios of our lives tend to give in to ideas which are not applicable to reality as a whole. The best example of this is written in the short story “All Over” by Guy de Maupassant. In which his main character Lormerin is very self conscious and narcissistic also Lise de Vance, a former old love plays a big role in hurting Lormerin ego and opening his eyes by showing him, his real self. Many would say that when reality knocks it could be harsh and confusing. In the next couple of paragraphs I want to show how my understanding of reality can be applied to the short story previously mentioned. Every day life brings so many unexpected moments of which we dream of but never really happen, this is where we draw the line for reality and perception of a perfect to be situation. Reality is in the eyes of the beholder and no one can really change that, all of us are born dreamers. When things get out of hand and reality hits, this is where people suffer. Why do we suffer? We suffer because we give too much or expect too much and not everyone has the same ideals when returning the favor. Also, some events might be trifling to some but extremely important to others.…
