Charley Skedaddle
.... He was determined
to be a hero like his brother.
Since Charley was too young to be a soldier he became a
drummer-boy for the army. He trained and worked hard to be a
good one. He may have been physically ready for his first
battle, but emotionally he was not. I don’t think he really
knew what killing a person involved. All of his life he
watched the people he cared about be taken away from him.
First, it was his parents, then Johnny, then Noreen and now
it was about to happen again. .....

.... and I needed a way out. They all screamed at each other about this or that and everyone seemed to give me a wicked eye about it all. Like somehow this whole ordeal was my fault. So I did what was the closest thing to an answer I could think of, I started smoking weed. A lot of it, everyday I did it. I would go to school stoned, come home from school stoned, and go to sleep stoned. I WAS ALWAYS HIGH. All of this weed seemed to worsen my condition though, I thought this was going to help me.

Compare And Costrast Little Li
.... create her poem. She uses "pretty" language to describe the death of "Sweet little Libby" and how beautiful and delicate she was. She compares Libby to a flower that dies too soon in the second stanza and then repeats it in the third. The word "little" appears eight times throughout the poem to over emphasize how little Libby is. She also tells us that her friends mourn for Libby three different times in lines 12, 16 and 17. This repetition seems to make the poem dull. Compared to Owen's poem, this p .....

.... if I broke house arrest tonight. I need to tell you that Anna has never really showed any interest in short, chubby Martin, but I can’t break that news to him. I lie and tell him that we’re in, when what I mean is, I’m in. Really, Anna with her tall beanpole-like figure isn’t anything to get too excited about. Her shoulder length brown hair is always pulled back so tightly it looks as if her forehead is about to crack.
"So, how do you want to do it?" Martin asks me.
"Well, seeing as how neither one .....

realizes the absurdity of it. He even rushes to Mikolka, ready to
punish him for killing the mare. This illustrate s Rodion's internal

Cry. The Beloved Country
.... a emotional setting than a physical setting. As I stated it takes
place in South Africa, 1946. This is a time where racial
discrimination is at an all time high. The black community of this
land is trying to break free from the white people, but having little
success. It is this so called racism that is essential to the setting
of the story. Without it, the book would not have as much of an impact
as it does.
The story begins, as many great stories have begun, with a
