"Cranes" Theme Paragraph

The name of this story is "Cranes". The authors name is Hwang Sunwon. The story is about two friends who have not seen each other in a long time. The main character is Songsam. Songsam changes throughout the story when he see's his old friend Tokchae in the police station. Songsam volunteers to take Tokchae to the Ch'ongdan. As they walked Tokchae did not speak to songsam or even look at him. On there way they passed the field with the cranes were they use to play at and catch Cranes. Songsam offers to catch a crane with tokchae like they did when they were kids. I guess that was symbolism for I am going to let you go.

The Cask of Amontillado" Before You Read: Revenge

I remember this one time when I was out to get revenge on one of my older brothers because he was bullying me. I was about five years old at the time. My brother anthony didn't bully me alot because I would get realy mad and want to fight him. I guess he decided it would be fun to scare me and make me cry. I was sitting in my room on my bed when all of a sudden Anthony runs inside and pulls my sheet off of my bed and raps me up in it. I know why but I was scared so I started crying. Anthony dragged me around the house in my sheet until finally one of my other older brother Andrew told him to let me go. I was so mad at all of my brothers but mostly anthony because he's the one that frightened me for his own amusement. I vowed to get him back even if I had to stay up all night. It was late at night and everybody was sleep including Anthony. I snuck to the kitchen and got a big pot of cold water. I tossed it on him and jumped back into bed.
