What are some good short stories between 150 - 200 words starting with the line, "I saw a small boy standing in the woods and crying "?
I saw a small boy standing in the woods and crying. His dear tree had been felled. He was inconsolable. For that little boy it was not just a tree. It was like a friend he would rush to everyday after school, a friend who would hide him from those nasty bullies, a friend who always had sweet fruits for him, and a friend who would wrap him in a warm embrace and put him to sleep. “This is murder”, he screamed as I tried to console him. He said he would avenge the murder, he kept saying he would. I had then laughed at his innocence and dismissed it as a childish whim. But today thirty years later as I sit in the audience and listen to the same little boy, now all grown up speak about conservation of environment I know he still remembers his tree, his friend. As the audience broke into a thunderous applause after his speech, I felt he had now avenged his dear friend.
I have $1 million and want to invest or start a business that would enable me to switch careers. I'm 31 years old, live in a major metropolitan area in California, have no debt, and make $100,000 working as an attorney. What should I do?
It depends where you live. I would find 3-10 houses near a university, put a downpayment down on each, then rent them out. (number will depend on where you are. In Houston you can almost buy a house near a university for 100k, in California it's a 10% downpayment. You will learn a lot about the landlord business. Best advice, even with students is to run credit checks on those you rent to, and when possible, only rent to those with good credit.If you go to youtube you can get lessons on just about any home repair - toilets, sinks, dripping faucets, washing machines, dryers, etc, etc.Do report those who don't pay. Do become familiar with evicting people; sad to say it will happen. Do learn to keep your rental places clean, painted, and as bullet proof as possible. Don't go overly cheap where you are putting in tainted flooring; do be helpful, kind, but not overly understanding.Most college students are poor but honest; most will pay their rent, albeit late. Do be prepared for having houses sit empty over the summer - which you can alleviate by renting them for a discount.Do make sure they put down a hefty security deposit and cleaning deposit and first and last months rent. Most students know this; they save up.Watch out for nasties like bedbugs, termites, rats, bees, wasps, fire ants. You should be able to get yourself a living wage to begin with; it will increase over time as you spot and buy houses at good prices and learn things the hard way.Or you could buy an empty lot and just build yourself - if the zoning allows it - a small apartment house with 6-8 units. In Houston where I live there is no zoning, so you can build what you like within reason. If you piss off your neighbors by building somehthing that really doesn't go with the neighborhood, you never know what happens: zoning or no zoning, they could make it very dicey for you. Do not forget taxes, do not forget to put money into a repair fund. Do make your tenants sign an agreement to do any repairs that cost less than $400 themselves as part of the rental agreement. Since you are an attorney you should be up on the laws.You might also consider getting your real estate license to save when you are buying houses.
How do I write a 750 words essay about me, my past, present and future?
Well you have a pretty good structure from the title. Introduction - Me: Your name and a sentence that says something about you as a person. For example, My name is Deirdre Beecher and I can't tell my right from my left. So my sister taught me a trick, if I bless myself, I automatically use my right hand. So don't worry, I'm not some crazy religious nut, I'm just trying to figure out which is my right hand. The reason I have done this is that it's funny and it immediatly makes the reader more intrested in you. It also illuminates your character in a way a dry recetation of the facts does not. You have to put in facts, but you don't have to put them all in. Paragraph 1 - My PastSo think of three things about your past. My grandfather thought me how to count by teaching me how to play poker. My parnets put an extenstion on the house when I was six, I remember how excited I was when I first got my own room.When I was ten my school burnt down. Paragraph 2 - My Present.Think of three things about your present. I recently acted in a local play My dog does the cutest thing. I spend way too much time on Quora instead of writing. Paragraph 3 - My hopes for the future.Three things you hope to have in the future. I want to do an Open University course.I want to have a published novel. I want to volunteer in South Africa for a few months. Obviously I have used facts about my own life there, but you can easily substitute. Rather than being in a play, have you been in a sports team or some other society. Rather than how cute your dog is, how much fun your sister is, or not. I spend way too much time on... what is it the kids are playing these days? Minecraft?Expand each point into a couple of sentences. 'My dog is a Bernese Mountain Dog, she is very, very big, so big that when she wants to get in the house, she puts her front paws on the window sill and scratches at the glass until we let her in.' So that's 42 words and I haven't even gotten started on how cute my dog is. Remember detail is key. Don't say I hope to travel in the future, everyone wants to travel. Say 'I would really love to visit Hawaii one day. I have always been fascinated by volcano's and I would love to see the volcano which is erupting on big island.' Once you have written all your points and expanded on them. If you still haven't reached your word goal, try to think of one more fact under each heading, Past, Present and Future.
How do I write an essay on describing myself?
If you are relying entirely on inspiration to write essays, you are shooting yourself in the foot. Inspiration is a whim. It is either there or not, depending on mood, what you ate, how you feel, and what you have to do today. You may not want to do what needs to be done and inspiration leaves you.Rely on perspiration. Learn to write. Just write. Pick a subject, any subject. There isn’t a perfect subject. I have yet to get this across to my perfectionist step-son, but I’ll try again here. There is no one perfect subject. If you are searching for the perfect idea, again, you are shooting yourself in the foot.Write. Learn to write as required of your deadlines. Do the writing early so you have time to edit and redraft, or rewrite. I never did less than three drafts unless it was on an exam. If you are relying on inspiration for exams? well… bullet… foot… you. Don’t do that.If you rely on music, friends, a bird singing outside your window? bullet… foot… you. Don’t do that. You won’t have those on exams.Sit yourself down and write. If you have two or more subjects to write about, pick one randomly or eenie meenie it. It doesn’t matter as long as you pick one.Then write. Learning to write as needed means working on writing as needed. Practice it. Just do it. Stop waiting for it.
If the following paragraph were part of a literary analysis essay, where should it be: in the introduction...?
If the following paragraph were part of a literary analysis essay, where should it be: in the introduction, the body, or the conclusion? The youthful prince and princess, the powerful king and queen, the husband and wife in a wealthy manor home all are stereotypical couples found in fairy tales. The world of classic fairy-tale characters is simple and, on first glance, enviable. But real-life relationships can stand in revealing contrast to this simplicity and make a reader value something more essential. While the husband and wife in Gwendolyn Brooks's "The Bean Eaters" exist together in a very plain and spare way, their existence seems richer than even the most romantic fairy tale that claims unrealistic love, riches, and "happily ever after" for its main characters. A. Body B. Conclusion C. Introduction D. None of the options are correct.
Did he take advantage of me in his own house?
He was definitely, positively taking advantage of you. He kept egging you on to drink more because he wanted you drunk so that he could do what he wanted and you wouldn't be able to stop him. He ignored you repeatedly saying no. You should not have texted him saying that you didn't like what happened. You should have deleted his number, and told your best friend that you're never going to her house again. Your best friend was not being a very good friend to allow that to happen in her house, especially if she knew you were drunk. She should have gone and kicked his *** for you. As for your boyfriend, I think you should give him a little time. You know and he knows that it wasn't your fault, and your boyfriend probably just feels weird about it. He doesn't have any reason to be mad at you though. In fact, he has a lot of reason to go beat the **** out of your best friend's brother.
