...officer teetered in his chair, cocked his head, and gave me the look. That stern look that parents give kids when they want to know something. My mother perfected that look, but on him it was pathetic. “There’s nothing to tell!” I shouted, my echo booming off the walls. “My parents didn’t do it. If anything you stole me from them. You’re the criminal!” The officer sighed. “Alright, I’ll tell Mr. Weston to come get you. We’re done for today.” He got up and left the room. A faint buzzing filled my ears. Looking around, the steal rods on the window made me feel like the criminal. I had to get out of here. Mr. Weston walked in the door. He’s the social worker assigned to “look after me.” He’s the one that coaxed me out of the linen closet, after the police broke into my house. “We’re going to take you some place safe,” he’d said. I remember my heart beating against my thighs as I clutched my legs to my chest. Bending down, he extended his hand. I stood up slowly, making plans to get away. Standing straight, blood rushed to my ears. My vision sharpened. The hair on my skin stood up. Every part of me was...

...by "The Boogeyman". "All I did was kill my kids. One at a time. Killed them all." (King 93) Lester Billings enters the scene as he tells the doctor that he had killed his kids. He continuously tells the doctor he had killed them all and that he wants to be imprisoned. Lester constantly kept looking at the doctors closet and would twitch a bit, giving an impression of scared. Denny, first child of Lester, was killed by "The Boogeyman". He was left alone in a dark room because Lester didn't want his child to be a "sissy", he then finds Denny dead on his back. Since then Lester remembers all the short stories which were told by his mother when he was little and develops fear within himself. When his second child dies that is when he fears the place he lives in and the closet. Lester didn't want another child because he was afraid it can happen to his third child but of course, Lester ended up having another child. When Andy was born, he moved places because there were too many bad memories and he added "And too many closets." (King 101). He acted strange about closets ever since the two events. He would keep his boots in the hall because he didn't like to open closet doors. He would constantly think whether "The Boogeyman" would be there or whether it's ready to get him. A year after he got settled into a new home, "The Boogeyman" came back to get Andy. He remembered all the horror stories and said "Maybe all the monsters we were scared of when we were kids, Frankenstein and Wolfman...

This art form is most associated with the Romantic period in literature, though Closet Dramas are still written today. In this lesson, we will look at the history of Closet Dramas and see a few examples. De㸷㐰nition Closet dramas are plays that have been written to be read, but not performed. Their value is in the play itself, not in the performance of the play. This art form was popularized in the Romantic era by such writers as Robert Browning and Goethe. Plays are written, generally, to be performed, and the playwright depends on the actors and actresses to bring his script to a higher level. With closet dramas, the playwright intends just the opposite. There will be no performance, and the play itself carries its own strength and value. In a nutshell, a closet drama is meant to be read, but not performed. History http://study.com/academy/lesson/closetdramadefinitionexamplesquiz...

...When I was a child I eagerly watched my parents in the kitchen, fascinated by the way they would make something delicious out of what seemed like nothing at all. This frequent observation sparked something in me and from that moment forward, I knew I was born to cook. In speaking to local restaurant owners about their businesses, my initial awkwardness and apprehension towards approaching unfamiliar people faded away. I found that conversation came easily when discussing ones passions. I first met with Cindy, who owns Paddy Cakes and Candy. She has owned and operated the shop for several years, and has been expanding it slowly. What started out as a simple candy store has now grown to be so much more. There isn’t a need for specialized equipment in her shop, as she has all her tempered chocolate products premade, but they make all the items that require melting chocolate in the store. Cindy assured me that while no culinary or business management degree is necessary, it would certainly be helpful. Despite seeming content in the busy atmosphere of her store, Cindy confided in me that this was nothing more than a convenient opportunity. She had lost her previous business to bankruptcy after 9/11, and this store just “fell in her lap.” Although she loves what she does, she’s bored and has put the store up for sale in order to pursue another business venture – Cindy would love nothing more than to open her own craft store. Shane, owner of The Pizza Man, had little to offer...

...My Experience at the CPA Staff Meeting By Pamela Kankunda. March 3rd 2016 On the morning of Tuesday 1st March 2016, i attended a Communication and Public Affairs (CPA) staff meeting that was chaired by the Director Chris Obore at the committee room 402B Parliament of Uganda. The meeting started with an opening prayer from Musimenta Isaac followed by a lovely breakfast. Different members gave their presentations in the given minutes as they were timed by Mr. Phillip Kabogoza. I was inspired more with the Deputy Clerk’s presentation to the meeting where he talked to us about balancing family and work. “Enjoy your families and most importantly, your kids while they are still young because as they grow older, they wont have time for you.” Said Mr. Okello Obabaru. He explained further that family should be priotized first and should never be taken for granted. He also talked about work ethics where he mentioned that we should work with one another irrespecive of our backgrounds and be able to fit in any work environment. This helps in building teamwork which makes work move faster with ease. He further emphasized that the supervisor should always have a good working relationship with the surbordinates and make it easy for them to work with him effeciently and effectively. Mr. Okello Obaru’s words were really inspiring and taught me alot such as importance of family, teamwork building in a working environment. I learnt how to fit in and work well with people whereever...

He did not simply speak it into being as He did the beast of the field and the fowls of the air. He carefully put it together step by step. God put man to sleep and from his side took a rib and formed the woman. Not stopping there, God took the woman by the hand and led her to Adam. Therefore marriage is a unique relationship, having its root in divinity (Gen. 2:22). However, marriage and family life, a thing of joy, pleasure, and high esteem at creation is now treated by many as a necessary evil and looked at by some disdainfully. "Those in it want to rush out and those outside want to rush in," they say. This has resulted in the fast disintegration of the marriage unit and subsequently the family. Statistics indicate that the decline of marriage and the family...

...Gabriel Garcia Marquez One Hundred Years of Solitude Chapter 1 MANY YEARS LATER as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendía was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice. At that time Macondo was a village of twenty adobe houses, built on the bank of a river of clear water that ran along a bed of polished stones, which were white and enormous, like prehistoric eggs. The world was so recent that many things lacked names, and in order to indicate them it was necessary to point. Every year during the month of March a family of ragged gypsies would set up their tents near the village, and with a great uproar of pipes and kettledrums they would display new inventions. First they brought the magnet. A heavy gypsy with an untamed beard and sparrow hands, who introduced himself as Melquíades, put on a bold public demonstration of what he himself called the eighth wonder of the learned al-chemists of Macedonia. He went from house to house dragging two metal ingots and everybody was amazed to see pots, pans, tongs, and braziers tumble down from their places and beams creak from the desperation of nails and screws trying to emerge, and even objects that had been lost for a long time appeared from where they had been searched for most and went dragging along in turbulent confusion behind Melquíades’ magical irons. “Things have a life of their own,” the gypsy proclaimed with a harsh accent. “It’s simply a matter of waking up their souls.” José...

...Idioms and Expressions by David Holmes A method for learning and remembering idioms and expressions I wrote this model as a teaching device during the time I was working in Bangkok, Thailand, as a legal editor and language consultant, with one of the Big Four Legal and Tax companies, KPMG (during my afternoon job) after teaching at the university. When I had no legal documents to edit and no individual advising to do (which was quite frequently) I would sit at my desk, (like some old character out of a Charles Dickens’ novel) and prepare language materials to be used for helping professionals who had learned English as a second language—for even up to fifteen years in school—but who were still unable to follow a movie in English, understand the World News on TV, or converse in a colloquial style, because they’d never had a chance to hear and learn common, everyday expressions such as, “It’s a done deal!” or “Drop whatever you’re doing.” Because misunderstandings of such idioms and expressions frequently caused miscommunication between our management teams and foreign clients, I was asked to try to assist. I am happy to be able to share the materials that follow, such as they are, in the hope that they may be of some use and benefit to others. The simple teaching device I used was three-fold: 1. Make a note of an idiom/expression 2. Define and explain it in understandable words (including synonyms.) 3. Give at least three sample sentences to illustrate how the expression is used...

LETTER TO ADDITIONAL SECRETARY, HOME DEPARTMENT, GOVERNMENT OF INDIA DETENTION C AMP, January 27, 1944 ADDITIONAL S ECRETARY TO THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA (HOME DEPARTMENT) NEW DELHI SIR, Some days ago Shri Kasturba Gandhi told the Inspector-General of prisons and Col. Shah that Dr. Dinshaw Mehta of Poona be invited to assist in her treatment. Nothing seems to have come out of her request. She has become insistent now and asked me if I had written to the Government in the matter. I, therefore, ask for immediate permission to bring in Dr. Mehta. She has also told me and my son that she would like to have some Ayurvedic physician to see her. 1 I suggest that the I.G.P. be authorized to permit such assistance when requested. 2. I have no reply as yet to my request2 that Shri Kanu Gandhi, who is being permitted to visit the patient every alternate day, be allowed to remain in the camp as a whole-time nurse. The patient shows no signs of recovery and night-nursing is becoming more and more exacting. Kanu Gandhi is an ideal nurse, having nursed the patient before. And what is more, he can soothe her by giving her instrumental music and by singing bhajans. I request early relief to relieve the existing pressure. The matter may be treated as very urgent. 3. The Superintendent of the camp informs me that when visitors come, one nurse only can be present. Hitherto more than one nurse has attended when necessary. The Superintendent used his discretion as to the necessity. But when...
