By: Ingrid Davis

Page 1
Once upon a time there was a little boy named Travis who loved to do magic tricks. He loved magic tricks so much, his friends nicknamed him Tricky Travis. Tricky Travis was so good at his magic tricks, he could make fussy babies stop crying, sad parents happy, and talking students quiet.

One Monday morning when Travis went to school, he heard on the morning announcements that his school would be holding it's first ever talent show. ATTENTION, ATTENTION, Principal Jones shouted across the intercom; Kingsway Elementary will be holding it's first annual " I've got Talent", talent show. Come to the main office to sign up.

Immediately Travis thought to himself, I have to sign up, I have to sign up! I can perform my famous flowers out of an open hat trick! Everyone will love me. I will make Principal Jones, and Mrs. Walker so proud. Tricky Travis could barely complete his class work because he was just that excited. As soon as the noon bell rang for lunch, Travis dashed out of Mrs. Walker's fourth grade class to the main office. Principal Jones, Principal Jones, Travis shouted, where do I sign up, where do I sign up?

Travis stood on stage with that ray of sunlight beaming down on him, frozen. He was scared. This big audience was nothing like the crowd of friends that watched him perform at recess, nor like his family members that he would perform for at home. Travis ran off the stage in freight. He ran right into Lindsey. "Travis what's wrong?" , Lindsey asked. " I can't do this, I just can't!". " Travis, remember what Mrs. Walker always says there isn't I can't, only I can, or I can ask for help, and I'll help you" Lindsey said. Travis took a deep breath, " ok, Lindsey" he

    The Narnia series can be seen as a symbolic reiteration of classic biblical stories. The seven books attempt to recreate everything from major events in the Bible – Genesis and Revelation, the creation and end of the world – to popular medieval saint’s life. In The Magician’s Nephew, the reader is first introduced to the world of Narnia, along with Polly and Digory, the first children from our world to enter Narnia. As Genesis tells of the creation of the world, so The Magician’s Nephew explains how Narnia came to exist and introduces the reader to Aslan, the creator and God figure, and Jadis, the Satan figure, through whose presence at creation evil enters the world. The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe introduces the four Pevensie children – Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy…

Curtis and Janet went to a different school then Rufus but he still walked them to school then walked himself to school. On his way to school a car followed him very slowly but Rufus kept walking. When he got to school it looked the same on the outside that it always had. Rufus pushed open the doors at Searingtown School and yelled “I’m back!” All of his friends ran over to hug him. He went down to the office to get a tour he thought he didn’t need because he remembered every single solitary thing about this place. While the tour was going on everything going on was a blur. He looked left, right and left again, admiring the changes the school had made. “Wow” he sighed. “Is there a problem Rufus?” the tour guide asked. Rufus answered, “When I was here the wall paint was all chipped, there were broken windows and holes in the walls.” “Oh ok, well that concludes our tour and this door on your right is your first period class.” The tour guide replied. Rufus walked in and sat at an available seat at the back of the class room. He opened his notebook and took notes even though he didn’t understand anything that was going on. By the time 5th period came around it was time for lunch he was starving. All of his friends called him over and asked him to sit with him. Momma didn’t make him a big lunch because they didn’t have that much food in the house and then needed to split it 3 different ways. Allison who used to have a big crush on Rufus sat right next to him. Mitchell and Charlie sat across from him and Christina, Alisha and Sammy sat around them. When the bell rang he went to his locker and when he got to class he looked out the window and saw the same car that followed him to school. The only person he thought of was Simon. But he didn’t have a car? Rufus ran to the office to explain the…

    In 1964, the literary critic Northrop Frye published a book, titled The Educated Imagination, in which summarized his ideas on the relevance of literature to life and more specifically, the conventions that come with them. Frye establishes the literary forms through the exploration of traditional and modern forms of story telling. The foundation of conventional literature has been told many times throughout history, however it is at the discretion of the author to embellish it with minor outlying details, or content change. Literature can only stem from literature itself. All literature is new, but also recognizable. We can still find these conventions in modern day literature and media. An illustration of the Cinderella story convention is…

    According to Edgar Alan Poe, a short story should be like a window into someone else’s life, in other words it doesn’t really matter what happened before and it doesn’t matter what’s going to happen after. The authors of the short stories I have read in class this year, using only that window, have made me feel sorry for the characters and angry towards the resentment the rest of the community shows them because they are different from others. Reading White & witchetty, the Dolls House and Josie has made me question my own values and beliefs.…

    My ears ring as the old school bus screeches to a halt. We hop off and a dry, winter gust smacks my face. Instantly, my stuffy nose runs. I grasp the cold metal handle of the school door, open it, and slam a piece of wood underneath to keep it ajar. After we become accustomed to the cold shock, Mrs. Cimenski, our director, orders us to haul the heavy wooden tables and a set of four lockers toward our designated area backstage. We struggle through multiple doors and long curtains until we reach our destination. The first aid kit mends our minor cuts and bruises created in the process. Gathering our senses, we collect the makeup and costumes and begin a brisk walk to the classroom assigned to us. The first performance is in an hour and a half,…

    “Turn to page three hundred and eight in your excel books”, Said the teacher. What? Shouted the boys on the left. You promised us it was prac today? This is bullshit! A general giggle erupted across the classroom. I felt sorry for the teacher as she and I both knew she was in for an hour of torture. “We only have practical classes once a week, you know that” she said hesitantly. Yeah.. well - that’s shit isn’t it! Said one of the boys. The teacher was beginning to show her frustration but she didn’t reply. She knew they got their kicks out of making her angry so she remained silent. They had made her cry a couple of times this term already. I didn’t see why they liked teasing her; but I still didn’t tell them off.…
