Run Andre Run Short Story
Run Andre Run Man it was very hot today. When i picked up the water buckets to carry too our shed i could feel the sizzling metal nearly giving me blisters on my lower fingertips. I had to drop them it felt like my fingers were melting off. Mother yelled at me.
“Andre better bring them buckets here before master sees and you know you can't afford a whipping this early in the week.”
“I apologize ma’am,” i replied nervously
I picked the buckets back up and started carrying them over to the well. Thank god the well was finally full, that definitely to me way longer than it was supposed too. I walked over to our shed too see if my mom needed anything and she didn't and i was glad i needed a break. I Took my cup too the well without anyone seeing and got me some water. I'm so ready for this week too be over this is me my sister and my mom's last week here before we get sold off hopefully as a whole. I heard that sometimes they keep the strongest by their self and take the weaker to a littler farm.

All i had to do was help my little sister with the cotton and the weeds. While i was helping her i was thinking about when we get moved. Maybe i won't get sold. And if i did what will i do here by myself. I needed too talk too my mom.

    Editing is, in my opinion, the most important aspect of film. Editing is the aspect that allows a film to guide the thoughts and associations of the spectator. Run Lola Run used a series of cuts and a collage to develop a tempo that makes the audience feel exactly how the director intended. In a way, editing can be a form of emotional manipulation.

    When we finished lunch and got back to work, we were assigned a new duty. I was to help pick up all the large twigs and create one giant pile to eventually burn. After we had done that, we were to rake the destroyed yard. At this point I felt dirty and tired. All I could think about was going home, showering, and taking a long nap in my comfortable bed. It was then that I took a moment to look at the place and people around me. These people didn’t even have their whole house still standing, and here I am dreaming about getting home to all my luxuries. I knew that if my family were in their position, I would want help from others too. This motivated me to want to work harder until our job was done.…
