Rain pattered the asphalt, making the muddy puddles dance. With a half-hearted wave, I stopped in the breakroom to grab my purse and umbrella, then exited through the back door, as instructed. Like I could ever come back here after clobbering a woman with a drink tray. I didn’t want to know.Īfter digging my tips out of my apron-a measly twenty-two bucks since I’d only been an hour into my shift-I handed the drenched fabric to Neil. Neither did I glance down to see how visible my pink bra with little black hearts was. “Are you a fashion expert now?” I didn’t admit he was right, or explain that my white-shirt-friendly undergarments were in the laundry. “Aren’t you supposed to wear white bras with white shirts?” Ever hear of a wet t-shirt contest?” I scowled. I untied my apron, then fished the half-melted ice cube out of my blouse and flicked it into the sink. “Well,” I said heavily, “I’m not really surprised.” “Aw, man,” Neil said glumly, joining me beside the dishwasher. I tried not to imagine the look on chicken lady’s face when she learned the crazy server had been canned. The noise had quieted, meaning the manager had probably offered all kinds of apologies and gift cards to the poor assaulted woman. As she walked away, my shoulders slumped.

The Elephant’s Child resisted, helped by the Bi-Coloured-Python-Rock-Snake, but his nose was pulled out into a long trunk before the Crocodile let go. When he came close, the Crocodile caught him by his nose and tried to pull him into the water. Then he came to the river and found the Crocodile, who told him to come and hear the whispered answer. On the way there he met and asked the Bi-Coloured-Python-Rock-Snake, who also spanked him. Then he asked Kolokolo Bird, who told him to go the Limpopo River and find out. They all spanked him and told him to hush. “What does the Crocodile have for dinner?” He asked so many questions that all his relations spanked him. One little elephant was insatiably inquisitive. Originally the elephant had a short nose the size of a boot, flexible but useless for grasping things. “I keep six honest serving-men.” The drawing of the Elephant’s Child’s tug of war with the crocodile (above) was reproduced on the cover. Collected in Just So Stories (1902), illustrated by the author, and followed by the poem First published in the Ladies’ Home Journal, April 1900, illustrated by Frank Verbeck. Near the beginning of the book Leo joins a play. Leo's family is very busy with their own problems, and hardly talk to him besides to tell him to do one chore or another. He dreams of changing the world, or at least getting his family to notice him. Leo feels lost in the sea of people that are his family. Leo wonders about the mysteries of his life, not least of all, why his father is so sad and what happened to Rosaria, his sister, and why no one mentions her. Leo is trying to make sense of losses, life-changes, and regrets as the play and his life lead to mutual revelations. Leo's friend Ruby, who plays a donkey in the play, also reveals the death of her younger brother. Part of the discovery is of the existence of a long-lost aunt. At the same time, Leo is learning more about his father after finding an old autobiography his father wrote at 13 and has had stashed in his attic along with some tap shoes. He has just tried out for the school play, a fantasy about an old man who accepts two lost children into his life and regains some of his childhood magic, and Leo is cast oddly as "the old crone". Leo is 12 years old, imaginative, sympathetic, but often lost in his large family, with his busy parents, older sister, two younger brothers, and large extended family. Replay (2005) is a children's novel by American writer Sharon Creech.

The prose moves readers swiftly from crisis to crisis.” - Booklist Online PRAISE FOR THE Shatter Me SERIES: “Written with precision and a sense of urgency, each chapter a strobe light–like moment in the lives of the teens trying to save their world. To put it concisely, walking is an inherent, biologicalfunction of man. In a very real sense the normal human being is predestined to walk, not becausehis elders will assist him to learn the art, but because his organism is prepared from birth, or evenfrom the moment of conception, to take on all those expenditures of nervous energy and all thosemuscular adaptations that result in walking. Indeed, the very conformation of these muscles and of the appropriate parts of thenervous system may be said to be primarily adapted to the movements made in walking and insimilar activities. The child is individually equipped, by the complex set of factors thatwe term biological heredity, to make all the needed muscular and nervous adjustments that resultin walking. Inthe case of the latter function, culture, in other words, the traditional body of social usage, is notseriously brought into play. The process of acquiringspeech is, in sober fact, an utterly different sort of thing from the process of learning to walk. Yet it needs but a moment's reflection toconvince its that this naturalness of speech is but an illusory feeling. It seems as natural toman as walking, and only less so than breathing. Speech is so familiar a feature of daily life that we rarely pause to define it. Introductory: Language defined Table of Contents | Next | Previous |
