Lone Wolf. He reached into a pocket. BANG! Goraz the ape man had been struck! Jonah blew the smoke from the barrel of his golden revolver. Dont say I didnt warn you, he said smugly.
Lone Wolf PROLOUGE "Hmm its no good, there is no way this will work. She's still only a young girl. We'll have to inform the boss, we've failed!" the surgeon looked dejected, staring intensely at his partner. "Yes, you are most correct, shall I make preparations then?" "Make it so." The two, doctors made their way out of the room and down into the endless hallway to alert their leader. However waiting for them in the shadows of the night was certain doom... CHAPTER 1: A VILLAGE CALLED DONN'LO The hospital was cold, dark and lonely; the surgical tools casting frightful shadows upon the walls. "Yet another day passes and I still cant remember anything. How did I get here? Ahh! I wish it all made sense." That patient was a young girl who had lost all of her memory three months ago. Footsteps were creeping down the corridor. They were getting closer to her. "Who's there?" said the girl, her voice quivering like a frightened puppy. The door opened. An ominous figure began to approach her. She screamed, but no one heard her. "Hey, hey, calm down missy, is that any way to greet your knight in shining armour?" The man wore a long trench coat darker than a raven's wing with his snow white hair which gleamed in the moonlight "Who exactly would you be?" asked the girl. "Can you answer that for yourself?" "...No... I have amnesia and as a result have forgotten everything
Hamlet essay
"How successful was Claudius likely to be as a replacement for Hamlet Senior?" In what ways does Shakespeare present the central antagonist to Hamlet in this play? It is argued among many critics that Claudius, no matter what his redeeming features may be within his psychological make-up, his failure to be a replacement as a father, Monarch and Courtier, are testament to the fact that he could never actually replace Hamlet Senior. Counteracting this viewpoint, though the court fails to be a place where justice overthrows all else, and becomes what can only be described as a "slaughter house", Claudius committed regicide for the reason that he was sure of what he wanted, which was to be everything that his brother was; a husband, father and Monarch. Having his desires fulfilled before his very eyes, Claudius would automatically look for qualities he posesses which are parallel to 'Old Hamlet's', in order to gain respect from Hamlet. These qualities to a certain extent already exist through his character's trait as a natural leader whereby he uses his skilled opportunism and his bold plotting; "Now must your conscience my acquittance seal, and you must put me in your heart for friend" These traits of character could be taught to Hamlet and Claudius could therefore succeed as a father figure. However, to succeed as a father figure Claudius would have to be supportive of his
John Feyeve sat on the bench and let the electronic glare of the tele-screen wash over him. He took a second to look up at the 20 foot high sign, the dazzling woman on it speaking as she pointed to the central planets of the galaxy
FUGITIVE 5 John Feyeve sat on the bench and let the electronic glare of the tele-screen wash over him. He took a second to look up at the 20 foot high sign, the dazzling woman on it speaking as she pointed to the central planets of the galaxy showing huge cities, their skyscrapers reaching up into the sky, long sunny and clean beaches, clear blue oceans "So come, and live in the beautiful face of Lady Galaxy" said the woman on the screen, John Feyeve smirked. If those places were Lady Galaxy's beautiful face, then he was sitting in her hairy armpit. He thought this as he gazed around his ugly surroundings. The spaceport was riddled with damp; the walls were cracked, and covered in graffiti. The glass roof, once a beautiful view of the moon and stars, was now rotting and decrepit after too many years of neglect and stains. Everyone else in the port with John fitted the same description as he: poor, no direction, and alone. They were travelers, loners if you will, and they were proud of that. John looked back up at Lady Galaxy still ranting on about the wonderful places of the universe and how every one should thank the Peoples Industrial Republic for creating such safe and wonderful living planets. Suddenly Lady Galaxy flickered off and an emergency news report came up. It showed the mug shot of a beautiful Asian girl with jet-black hair, her narrow eyes daring and a cocky

Memories of Evacuation during the Second World War.
Memories of Evacuation during the Second World War When the 1939 - 1945 war started on Sunday 3rd September 1939 I was 9 years old and was an only child. I lived with my mother and father in the village of River, just outside Dover, in Kent. My mother had three sisters and a brother, all married, as well as her mother, all living close at hand in the village. Amongst their families I had three cousins, Colin and Keith, who were brothers, and Jean. We were all very close and were frequently to be found in each other's houses. Keith was older than Colin, Jean and I and in 1939 went to Dover County School whereas we three went to River Elementary School. All of us lived in what I have come to think of as an idyllic environment. We each lived in loving families in a sleepy village in a quite lovely location, roamed far and wide over unspoilt fields and woodland; we played by - and in - the river where we caught tiddlers, tadpoles and newts and sailed our boats; we picked primroses, bluebells, cowslips, knew about the birds and found their nests - etc. It was wonderful. I can't really remember our lives as children being unduly affected by that part of the war which came to be known as the 'phoney war' except that we now had air raid shelters in our gardens and had to know what to do if there was an air raid warning, especially if we were out somewhere without our parents, and
The difference between a tabloid and broadsheet article
English Language Coursework Introduction: I have chosen to analyse and compare two articles on the same topic, one from a broadsheet and the other from a tabloid newspaper. Both of the articles discuss the same issue of the Lewis Hamilton racism row, and how Spanish "fans" were racist towards him during a test session in Barcelona. The topic engages me because I find it interesting how tabloid and broadsheet newspapers deal with racism in different ways. Aim: The main aim of my project is to find out how a tabloid and a broadsheet newspaper deal with the topic of racism. I would like to compare and find differences on the type of lexis and features used by both newspapers, and how they affect the story that is being told. I predict that a broadsheet newspaper uses far more formal lexis and gives more detail. I also think that a broadsheet newspaper does not contain bias, and displays both sides of the argument. I think that a tabloid newspaper, on the other hand, would contain more simple lexis, and would make plain judgements without displaying both sides of the argument. I would expect a tabloid article to contain more bias. Data: I will be using two newspaper articles, one from 'The Sun' and the other from 'The Times'. Both articles are on the topic of the Lewis Hamilton racism row, and both were published on Tuesday, February 5th, 2008. The article in the tabloid
Examine the ways in which Shakespeare presents and uses revenge in Hamlet
Examine the ways in which Shakespeare presents and uses revenge in Hamlet The play 'Hamlet' conforms to the typical ingredients that make up a revenge tragedy of the Elizabethan era. It conforms to certain guidelines and similar features, these are; a hesitating avenger, a villain who is to be killed in revenge, complex twisted plots, sexual obsessions, treachery, a play within a play, lust and greed which are the motives for the revenge, a ghost who calls for revenge, real or false madness and the consequently the death of the avenger. Tragedies date back from around 4000BC in the Middle East as totemic rituals. People of that era believed if they acted out whatever concerned them, it would not come true in real life. This is still true to this day and can be seen in 'Hamlet' by the way the audience enjoys tragedy and revenge providing a catharsis. You get a second hand experience, and you can experience the emotion without going through it yourself. There are also five parts to the structure of a revenge tragedy; the exposition by the ghost, this is then followed by anticipation in which the avenger usually in a series of soliloquies reveals the details of the planned revenge, confrontation between the avenger and the intended victim, then delay in which the avenger has mixed feelings about the task in hand. Finally the death of both the intended victim and usually also
Samantha was seated on a chair reading her prized book.
SAMANTHA Samantha was seated on a chair reading her prized book. In front of her through the window she could see the snowflakes falling and melting when touching the pavement. A man was taking for a walk a small furry dog. Suddenly, the man turned his head to look up to the first floor of the house where Samantha was sitting. The man gave her a slow pleasant smile and waved at her. Samantha's heart was beating fast with fright, but she replied with a quick wave. The man was grey haired and was wearing a long black coat, grey trousers and a brown hat. .In one hand he was holding his dog and on the other one a red and white checked umbrella resembling a tablecloth. He kept on walking and Samantha looked away. Perhaps, because it was a nice old man he reminded her of his grandfather. Today there was not much traffic, maybe because it was Sunday or because the cold made people stay more time at home, closer to the fireplace. Nevertheless, she lived in Dallas's most exclusive neighborhood where landscaped lawns, broad avenues and elegant isolated mansions predominated. However, she was ten minutes far from school and now that she was ten years old she could already go there on foot. Minutes later Samantha was back to reading. One year ago, the night her beloved grandfather passed away, she had been given a book which contained several stories that still persisted to dazzle the
