I sat in my room anxiously as I was mentally preparing myself for tomorrow’s big day. I needed to do mental preparation because for my senior project, I’m going to a slaughterhouse. I chose this as my project because I feel if I can record the things that happen inside those four walls, I can inform people on what an animal’s life consists of, and what they have to endure on a day to day basis. I felt a stream of tears rolling down my face because I could already envision the awful atrocities I was soon going to see. I quickly wiped my face as I heard footsteps approaching my room. “Bella?” My mom said from outside the door before she opened it. “Yeah? Sorry, I was just thinking.” I replied as I sat up in my bed. “Oh, well I just wanted to let …show more content…
“Okay, mom. I love you.” I said as I gripped her a little tighter. “I love you too.” She replied as she let go. “Okay,” I started to walk away, “I’ll be home later on.” I made it outside and into my car, which was a challenge in itself. After about 45 minutes later, I made it. I stepped out of the car and I stared at the building. I had never known what a slaughterhouse looked like. The walls had grey and red bricks, and it had a long walkway which lead into a part of the building. “You the new one we’ve been expectin?” I heard a voice say from behind me. I quickly turned around and looked up and down at the man. He was short, his beard was white and his eyes looked pure black. “Oh, yeah. That’s me I guess.” “You guess? It’s a yes or no.” He said as he stood right in front of my car. “What a great first impression. Yes, I’m the new one you’ve been expecting. My name’s Bella.” I said as I crossed my arms. “Well, Bella, I’m Stephen. I’m basically the boss here. Come inside, we’ll get an apron on ya.” He said as we both walked toward the entrance. I raised my eyebrow a little bit. “Why do I need an apron?” He scoffs and throws one to me. “It gets messy in

Anti-Semitism is the hatred and discrimination of those with a Jewish heritage. It is generally connected to the Holocaust, but the book by Helmut Walser Smith, The Butcher’s Tale shows the rise of anti-Semitism from a grassroots effect.

The book focuses on how anti-Semitism was spread by fear mongering, the conflict between classes, and also the role of the government.
The Three Themes of Slaughterhouse Five. & nbsp ; Kurt Vonnegut did a great job in writing an irresistible reading novel in which one is not permitted to laugh, and yet still be a sad book without tears. Slaughterhouse-five was copyrighted in 1969 and is a book about the 1945 firebombing in Dresden which killed 135,000 people. The main character is Billy Pilgrim, a very young infantry scout who is captured in the Battle of the Bulge and quartered to a slaughterhouse where he and other soldiers are held.
The narrative structure in Slaughterhouse-Five is nonlinear. One of the greatest distinctive and unique aspects of Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse-Five is the structure to which it is written. All through the novel, Billy Pilgrim journeys irrepressibly to non-chronological moments of his life, or as Vonnegut verbalizes, “paying random visits to all events in between.” (23). The structure of the novel is eccentric and does not actually have a well-defined beginning, middle, and end in the progression of the narrative. There is continuous movement amongst the future, past, and present in erratic ways. Vonnegut’s narrative consist of rapid brief paragraphs which do not follow a straight timeline, but as an alternative jolts forward and backward
“Oh that?” someone said calmly. “That’s Warren, our founder, supervisor, and show-off of the entire Sanctuary. They’re just grabbing supplies for some of the residents since shipping isn’t working
“You don’t know me.” My voice sounded as unsteady as his stance. He shrugged as he chuckled; the laughter turned my blood cold. He seemed to know something I did not.
In the short story, called ''Lamb to the slaughter'' Mary Maloney is the protagonist. Her husband, Patrick Maloney is the antagonist. Mary Maloney is the main character, around whom the story circles. This makes her the protagonist. The protagonist suggests a positive quality and while many protagonists are the good persons or heroes, this is not always the matter: obviously, Mary's heroism is questionable to say that she is a good person or a heroe. The protagonist is simply the main character: Mary. We can say that Patrick is the antagonist because he is the one who opposes Mary. However, a reader could contend that Mary is the antagonist as well because she opposes Patrick and, or antagonizes him when he reveals that he is leaving her. But Patrick can't be the protagonist.
"Hello? Who's there?" She says, afraid "alright, Andrea, if that's you, then your cut from the squad!"
“Like, welcome to I Spy Pie!” she said in a stereotypically snobby girl voice. Stark subtly acknowledged her with a slight nod of the head.
“Looks like the apple didn't fall far from the weirdo tree.” Whispers Bella towards Jake.
"Oh, my god...you are one of them as well?" I stopped my tracks and he turned his eyes at me.
“I... I heard a gunshot,” he huffs out, not taking his eyes off of me. “Who is this?”
