The Birthday Party
The Birthday Party
I was finally turning thirteen years old and had an upcoming birthday party. I didn’t get very many presents and not very many people came. I didn’t get many presents because most of the people who came only gave me money and cards. I got one hundred dollars from my mother and with it I bought a Ripstik Caster Board and a Pandigital Novel 7” Android Tablet.
Ever since I bought the Ripstik, I’ve ridden it every single day for P.E. I can do stunts with it like a front spin. You kick up the front of the board and spin the front wheel. You can do the same with the back and I call that a back spin. The reason why I bought the tablet was so if I don’t have access to my computers or I forget my iPods on the way to the store, I can still use internet or play my games. Its market price is about $200 but I got it for $50 from Amazon.com. As soon as it came, I opened it up and it was cracked at the upper-right corner of the screen. I was devastated. I bought a new one in pretty good condition. No cracks, light scratches. I found another tablet and we ordered it. It was a black MID Google tablet 7” and I read many reviews. I am so excited about getting it. It is one of the most basic tablets that Google has made.
So my Birthday Party well really well since I’m getting what I wanted. I just wish I could find the $20 I lost. For my birthday I got some money, two tablets, and Ripstik. It turned out better than expected and it was a very nice birthday party just the way it

    It was Tuesday, March first, 2011, my mother woke me up so I can start getting ready for school. I rose with eager anticipation, just four more days until my thirteenth birthday and I just couldn’t wait. I brushed my teeth and hurried down to eat the complimentary breakfast offered to us by the hotel we were staying at. You see we had been staying at a hotel for the past five months because the home we had been renting was foreclosed on so the utility companies turned off the power and the electricity. We had to get down at just the right time so that there was a small crowd but a lot of food so that we can take food back to the room to save for dinner. After breakfast, we…

    Throughout the novel, How to Read Literature like a Professor by Thomas C. Foster, the author elucidates that several interpretations can be drawn regarding the meaning of a story. For example, in chapter 27 entitled “The Test Case”, Foster explores this very claim by providing the interpretations linked to “The Garden Party” by Katherine Mansfield. In his novel he states that these interpretations range from the disparities between social classes, to a representation of hell and the journey Persephone, the captive of Hades, goes on. Foster’s novel presents the idea that the quest of characters in a story can represent the journey to hell because of the conflict that arises, this explains how the use of allusions allows readers to comprehend…

I was having that feeling you get when you’re excited to eat leftovers of your favorite food, but then quickly remember the food was never there. Meanwhile, my Mom was feeling a typical case of motherly nosiness and asked what was inside the bag.…

    The Dinner Party

    “The Dinner Party” by Mona Gardner is a realistic fiction piece of writing about anyone, regardless of gender, having self-control. In India, a colonel official and his wife were having a dinner party with their guests- army officers, government attachés with their wives, and an American naturalist. Later a young girl argues that women don’t on chairs at the sight of a mouse anymore and have self-control, the colonel says that they still do jump on chairs and don’t have self-control. The American naturalist was watching the guests instead of taking part in the controversy. While he was observing, he noticed that the hostess was staring straight ahead with a bizarre expression. She also was clenching her muscles ever so slightly. While she was summoning a servant, the American sees the servant’s eyes widen as the hostess told the servant something. On the veranda, the servant, without anyone noticing except the American, put a bowl of milk there. The bowl of milk signals that there is a snake in the room. At first, the American thinks the snake is in the rafters, but they were bare. So, he predicted that the snake was under the table. To not frighten the guest or the snake, he told everyone to stay still for 5 minutes and to not move a muscle. When the American sees the cobra go for the milk, everyone screamed while he cautiously jumped up to slam the veranda doors shut. Mrs. Wynnes, the hostess, knew the snake was there because it crawled across her foot. After reading “The Dinner Party” by Mona Gardner, I learned that anyone, regardless of gender, can have self-control.…

    the garden party

    • 905 Words

    the modern short story form with her innovative literary style. In such influential stories as "The Garden Party," "Bliss," and "Prelude," Mansfield perfected her meticulous craft, examining the human condition in restrained and deceptively everyday prose. Her avowed intention was to intensify "the so-called small things so that everything is significant." In "The Garden Party," for example, the description of sunbeams playing on an inkwell is the kind of detailed observation that lends an almost hallucinatory visual acuity to this celebrated tale. In her attention to the "the so-called small things," Mansfield was in the forefront of those writers who treated ordinary life rather than momentous events, and, according to H. E. Bates, many followed her "in squeezing the significance out of the apparently commonplace, trivial behavior of their fellow men." Working on the fringes of British Modernism, Mansfield developed the use of stream-of-consciousness technique, earning the admiration—and rivalry—of a contemporary, Virginia Woolf. Like Woolf, Mansfield emphasized the importance of incident over conventional narrative, and thus, in "The Garden Party" Laura's impressions dictate the shape of a story drawn from Mansfield's own childhood memories.…
