    Summers’ not over till the sun goes down. Trapped in waves that have tormented the minds of younger weary travelers’ since the begging of time‚ they sat pleasurably on the back of a shriveling tree. Click‚ click. Tap. Pause….. “Now that can’t be right.” Shifting through pages upon pages made fox-copper locks fall to Marie’s flushed complexion. She ran her fingers through her hair and she stared quite blankly into the pages in front of her‚ making her scrunched face again. She’s back at it with her

    Bartleby‚ A Story Genuinely About Him The story of Bartleby‚ The Scrivener in my opinion is truly about Bartleby. In the short story the narrator merely talks about himself to give background knowledge to the reader on the life in which Bartleby is about to enter. From the beginning he says “it is fit I make some mention of myself … because some such description is indispensable to an adequate understanding of the chief character”‚ emphasizing that he is merely there to tell the story of Bartleby

    Connie didn’t try to escape‚ not because she didn’t want to‚ but because she found she truly couldn’t.

Or was it silk? - she had a passing thought‚ but couldn’t grasp it quickly enough to bring them into words. “Alright‚ Connie baby‚” Arnold Friend said‚ leaning over and invading Connie’s
