I Thought he was Different

"Mom, I need boy advice!" Said Katrina's daughter Blanche. She went on to tell her mother that there was two boys that seemed to adore her. One was a big, handsome popular and muscular and the other was a scrawny but sweet guy that tried her hardest to win her heart.

Katrina said, "This sounds like a situation I was in. Let me tell you a story about how I ended up with my "husband", Brom. The story goes something like this…"

"So I was at a party at my fathers house. At this party were two men, one big strong man named Brom Bones. The other was a man named Ichabod Crane. He was a tall scrawny man who was very sweet. They both were obviously in love with me but I didn't know which one the feeling was mutual for. Each of them were taking stabs at my heart in their own special way. Ichabod was dancing with me and boy was he good at it. He was wooing me left and right but Brom's method was to try and intimidate Ichabod and get him away to be with me.

After the dancing ceased, Brom gathered everyone around to tell a story. This story was about the the headless horseman that plagued the town of Sleep Hollow. Everyone was getting a kick out of it but Ichabod seemed to be very nervous and startled by it. He was sweating and looked like he just saw a ghost. After Brom finished the story I said my goodbyes and everyone left. I was left confused about which man I would lend my heart to.

Over the next week I didn't see Ichabod once. This started to worry me but i just looked past it. Then i got the news. He had disappeared! I didn't know what to think about it. He was just gone and all that was left of him was his horses saddle and a smashed pumpkin by it. I was astonished by the news!

Since Ichabod was gone forever it seemed, I just decided to look past him and pursue my relationship with Brom. So, i professed my love from Brom. We stayed together for a little while

    Randle Mcmurphy Character Analysis

    Despite Bromden’s distinctly mute manor, towards the end of the novel he begins to have his redeeming heroic moments. One example, in an attempt to prove his loyalty to McMurphy and defy the Big Nurse, Bromden becomes the singular vote needed in order to make McMurphy’s campaign to watch the World Series of Baseball successful, instead of doing the routine chores. This moment was crucial to Bromden character development. In a tiny way, this act was Bromden’s first attempt at standing up to the Big Nurse and the Combine, which has derided him for so many years. Another example of Bromden’s heroism is when, after McMurphy takes some of the patients on the mental ward on a fishing trip, he steps in to defend McMurphy in the shower against the…

    Headless Horseman

    Brom Bones marries Katrina because Ichabod is no longer even there to compete for her after the Headless Horseman incident. After Ichabod’s disappearance Brom charms Katrina with his various skills and large muscles, this convincing Katrina to marry him. I believe that after Ichabod backed own from fighting Brom, Brom decided that he should mentally fight him. What I mean by mentally fighting him is scaring him and embarrassing him in front of Katrina. After the party Ichabod is going home after being dumped he is really sad, out of nowhere he sees the “Headless Horseman” who throws his “head” at him and after that it is unclear. I think that the so called “Headless Horseman” really is just Brom dressed up to make sure that Ichabod isn’t a…

He was an extremely superstitious man, so much that he believed in every myth, legend, and tall tale to be truth. This resulted in him easily being scared of anything that reminded…

    Bone's Journey Of Suffering

    Bone’s actions in the story express antihero behaviors than heroic during his journey of sufferings. Although Bone struggled for moral, as he understood it, regarding his attitude towards Rose, the little girl who was trying to save. But, Bone developed to be a highly negative teenager with a drug problem and a person who tried to gain attention by cutting his hair, getting tattoos, and choosing a new name as a new symbol for himself. He was not able to make the correct decision, as he lacks the experience and the wisdom to know that is not the right decision.

    Alternate Ending Legend of Sleepy Hollow

    “If I can but reach that bridge,” thought Ichabod, “I am safe.” The church bridge was rickety looking, but was the only way to safety. Ichabod could feel the hot breath of the black steed cutting close behind him. Petrified, he convulsively kicked in the ribs of old Gunpowder and they took off like lightening towards the bridge. Ichabod had cast a look behind him to see if his followers had vanished. Just then, the goblin rider had a pumpkin with fire on top of his head as though it was his own. Ichabod raced inside the bridge, eager to get out of this awful vicinity.…

    The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky

    Crane’s four-part story concerns man’s interaction with his environment. (Jack’s wife is not an individualized person with a name; she is important only because she represents marriage as a civilized institution.) In part 1, Crane describes the progress of the "great Pullman" train across Texas. With its luxurious appointments ("the dazzling fittings of the coach"), the train is a foreign country to the newlyweds, whom Crane portrays as self-conscious aliens: Jack’s hands "perform" in a "most conscious fashion," and his bride is "embarrassed" by her puff sleeves. The couple are so self-conscious and intimidated by their surroundings that the black porter "bullies" them, regards them with "an amused and superior grin," and generally "oppresses" them, treatment that they also receive from the black waiter, who "patronizes them." As the train nears Yellow Sky, Jack becomes "commensurately restless," primarily because he knows that he has committed an "extraordinary crime" by going "headlong over all the social hedges" and ignoring his "duty to his friends," members of an "innocent and unsuspecting community." Marshals in frontier towns apparently do not marry because they need to be free of domestic entanglements. Because Jack and his bride sense their "mutual guilt," they "slink" away from the train station and walk rapidly to his home, a "safe citadel" from which Jack can later emerge to make his peace with the community.…

    Discovery Creative Writing

    The lingering light was immersed by the rapidly falling night. The once salmon, purple sky transformed into a vast expanse of jet-black that engulfed the whole town. Yet at the corner of the street, the house remained unchanged. Supported only by stilts, its shabby character inconsistent to the grace and elegance of its neighbours. Its door flung open and a large figure emerged under the flickering light juxtaposed by dark shadows, followed by ‘Don’t go Benjamin’. The sentimental tone evident in the melodious voice. But the arrogant figure departed blithely without regard for the tender values. ‘He shouldn’t have done that. Old wounds should never be reopened’, the old man whose eyes adamantly refused to leave the windowpane let out solemnly as though the times which he ran away from, caught up to him.…
