Zlateh the Goat
Zlateh the goat.....

Setting-In Aaron's village
Narrator-It's Hanukkah and the road in the village are usually covered with snow but this year, it was only mild. This caused many peasants to complain because of the bad plantation.
(Peasants enter stage)
Peasants-What happened to the weather!! We need our winter grain to grow !!
(peasants off stage)
Narrator-So the story all starts when a family thats poor, lives a furrier named Reuven who is a furrier and didn't have anything get sold because of the weather wasn't so cold, so no one ever thought of buying anything that deals with fur.
Reuven+Family-(appear when Narrator says Reuven)
Reuven-(speak facing to the family) It's a Bad Year, we need guldens, all we have here is Zlateh the goat, she is old, and only produces a little bit of milk, we will sell him for 8 guldens to the butcher, Feyvel in the town for the Hanukkah holiday, potatoes, and other food and oil. My best decision is for you, Aaron, my oldest son to take Zlateh to the town.

Aaron-I understand Father.......(make a sad face....)

Sister-noo......(Cry after the speech as you were sad..)

Mother-(Wipe tears aways from the sisters)

Aaron-(put a rope on Zlateh's neck, then put a jacket on)

Mother+Aaron+Family-(Mother take two slices of bread, Aaron takes it and then family gets off the stage)

Narrator-Aaron is now off to his journey to the town and he's supposed to spend the night at the Butcher's place.
Zlateh-(appear in the stage)
Aaron+Zlateh-(Walk.....just keep on walking,in circles or squares,whatever...)

Narrator-Zlateh trusted humans, but he had been led to a mysterious track, and somehow seems astonished.

Zlateh-(Bahh...)

Narrator-As Zlateh and Aaron keep walking in the direction of the town, they relize that the sky is getting really dark and snow starts falling.

Prop-(1:Hold the clouds 2:Throw a little bit of snow onto them......)

Narrator-As what is happening is that they relize a storm is heading out

    While lying on the grass in the front yard, I imagined the exciting night ahead. Before long, Taylor and his girlfriend, Kara, arrived and picked me up. Almost immediately, I stood up and sauntered in my Duke sweatshirt and basketball shorts over to their car. I jumped into the backseat. Immediately, I was assaulted with the strong smell of perfume that had been sprayed inside the car because it belonged to Kara. Tonight instead of driving, she decided to let Taylor drive illegally without a license. As we drove off to Erik’s house, the rendezvous for tonight’s “Goatman” adventure, we saw a police officer had just pulled a car over. As we drove by, we breathe easier and relaxed because we didn’t see any more cops on the way.…

    The weather and temperature were the major conflicts in this story. The whole point of this trip was to hunt some animals down, but because of the weather and temperature, the animals were nowhere to be seen. “Each day it [would grow] colder” (para. 12), “[causing] the animals [to move] west or south to lower valleys” (para. 12). It was bound to snow anytime; and on “the fifth day [of the trip] there were two inches of snow on the ground” (para. 14). The hunters knew they would “have real trouble getting out” (para. 14) and they needed to decide whether to leave or to stay. “The snow on the dry grass made [the inclines] slippery” which is why “the boy had trouble keeping up” (para. 15) with his father. With the “snow and wind rising” (para. 19), the branches were getting icy as they “clawed at their clothing” (para. 21).…

    Plow Man

    • 613 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Throughout “Plow Man” the narrator is struggling to ward away guilty feelings since his wife, Jenny, has passed. His remorse is conveyed in a humoristic manner, particularly when proceeding to take on the elements. The narrator amusingly views the winter setting as a villainous system, one that he feels is overpowering and out of his control. To relieve his guilt, the narrator plays a victim to the winter storm, instead of taking control and shovelling his driveway. The reader is able to view the comedic flair of the narrator, as he challenges the storm, by stating, “It aims for your chest. It picks a fight. If I’m inside, it unleashes its fury on the driveway…Come out here… No. Fuck you” (95). The reader’s overview of the situation, knowing a blizzard does not consciously take out frustrations on people, creates the entertaining conflict. However, by forfeiting control of the situation, the narrator is able to reduce the guilt that he feels for not shovelling.…

They were all very confident that the day would be a glorious day, wearing nothing but mere under clothing. Children rushed to schools that were miles away without jackets, gloves, or scarves.

The two stories are compelling in different ways - may it be the plot, the theme, and the overall meaning. Despite their differences, they give you a different kind of similarity.…
