Judy Bear: A Short Story
As he neared the stream, something caught his eye. There was an adorable black bear club-a small creature, no more than two feet tall. It seemed to be playing at the edge of the water. Grady moved closer to get a better look. Then Grady heard a rustling behind him. He looked up and saw its mother…. The mother just stood there growling huge growls. Instead of eating him or charging forward she stood up on her back legs and started talking. It was something never seen before. A huge black bear had soda and snacks and was speaking ENGLISH!!!!!! Grady surely thought he had died and gone to bear heaven. The bear told him her names was Judy Bear. Judy and Grady had a huge conversation about Bucktooth Mountain (that was the mountain where they met

    Diary of Miss Jane Pitman

    • 1862 Words
    • 8 Pages

    Ernest James Gaines was born in Oscar, Louisiana on a plantation in 1933. Of African American heritage, he was a good sport with his family and understood that hard work was a necessity in life. At the young age of only nine he aided his parents in the field working for fifty cents a day. He looked up to his handicap aunt, Augustine Jefferson, as she was his role model in his early youth. She inspired him and opened his eyes to setting a strong path for the generations to come. His mother and step father uprooted and moved to California when Gaines was fifteen. This was a great opportunity for his passion to read and write since the public library was for all races. The lack of African American study or authors pushed him even more to fill the shelves with the history of his race. At seventeen he sent his first novel to a publisher, but this was soon rejected and sent back. Later in his life he rewrote this and sent it again. While attending San Francisco State College he wrote a short story that was published in 1956. Two years later after graduating he studied creative writing at Stanford University until 1959. Gaines has written many short stories, novels, and has won many of awards as well, including the National Books Critic Circle Award. He was given most of his attention from the public after he published Of Love and Dust in 1967. Four years later The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman declared him as a literary icon for American fiction.…

    Growing up, my childhood was ladled with stories. I absolutely loved Carmen Brown, Junie B. Jones, and Joey Piggza, but the one story that stood out the most to me was The Bernstein Bears. The Bernstein Bears is a children’s story book collection written and illustrated by Stan and Jan Bernstein. The series focuses on combating common child and adolescent issue with the ‘power’ of family unity. Family unity was something that I felt I did not have growing up, and I idealized the idea of having a family unit with all three bears: mama,…

    How does a positive attitude help avoid conflict? According to Remez Sasson,”It brings optimism into your life, and makes it easier to avoid worries and negative thinking… you see the bright side of life” (Sasson). This shows that seeing the bright side of life will make all worries and negativity dissipate during tough challenges. During World War 2, many people used the method of positivity to endure the misery. From Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl, Anne Frank tries to stay positive while in hiding. It was exceedingly challenging getting around without getting captured by the Nazi. Another novel is Dear Miss Breed: True Stories of the Incarceration During World War ll and a Librarian Who Made a Difference from Joanne Oppenheim. One of the many letters is from Louise Ogawa, and she, like all the other Japanese, had to go to an internment camp. To distance herself from the hardships, she tried to stay positive and think of the positive. Having a positive attitude is the best way to respond to conflict, especially during horrendous situations like World War 2.…

    My husband, Bill and I were opposites, but we fit perfectly. I had been with Bill for ten years and could not believe the love of my life was gone. When my husband bill died I received a relatively small inheritance. I received about $20,000, which was not an unpleasant amount in 1936, but wouldn’t last more than a year for a fifth avenue address. This was the last thing that I would spend time dwelling on. My husband decided to go on the expedition with four men with dreams of capturing the giant panda. Though they deserted him long before he passed. I decided that I wouldn’t leave Bill’s mission incomplete- I would pick it up and carry it to victory. In my lifetime several large animals had just been described for the first time. These animals included the mountain gorilla and the velvet-coated cousin to the giraffe the okapi. The Roosevelts were successful in shooting a giant panda on April 13, 1929. Killing a panda brought glory, but capturing one alive would be a historic achievement. On Friday, April 17, 1936 I boarded the Dollar liner American Trader. When I arrived in Hong Kong I truly felt at home. Though, the approach to shanghai was dirty and ugly. The summer in Shanghai was 100 degrees. I began to pick up the language known as pidgin English, a trading tongue that mixed English, Chinese, Indian, and Portuguese and followed the pronunciation idiom and grammar of Chinese. Smith was my husbands partner on the expedition, but I could see he wasn’t up to the task. Besides, teaming with Smith, another large mistake my husband made was getting tangled in the legendary Chinese bureaucracy, which left Bill in Shanghai for months. I soon flew from Beijing to Nanking, but it got cut short due to illness. I had an awful case of bronchitis developing and nearly lost my hearing during the high altitude plane ride. Soon I met the young brothers. They were also interested in catching the giant panda. Shortly, a plan was set in…

    In the fifteenth century, Christine de Pisan dreamt of building an ideal city for eminent and virtuous women, and with the help of her three "muses," the sisters Reason, Rectitude, and Justice, she reflected on the many women in history and mythology who might live together in this Cité des Dames. Almost exactly four centuries later, the American sculptor and feminist Harriet Hosmer envisioned a beautiful temple dedicated to the achievements of women. Now such a grand idea has been realized.…

    A strong cool breeze pushed its way through the tall, dark, green pine trees that danced as they swayed back and forth in the bright daylight. The snow caped rugged mountains, seemed to reach the sky. The wild caribou roamed freely as they searched for leaves and mushrooms along the soft green grass. The polar bears slowly, and carefully searched for seal in the icy cold waters. Two grizzly bears, a mama bear and the other the baby bear, wandered about and stopped in front of a large oil pipe that went on for miles. The moma grizzly bear used her back legs and was able to jump up and over the oil pipe by herself. The baby grizzly bear kept on trying to jump over to reach its moma, but he couldn't jump over so he was left behind, alone, and…

Trying almost to educate people on the hardships of each women's time and culture. As you work your way around the table the plates start to have more texture and show more want for equality within each society.…
