Recommended: How does sexual abuse affect adulthood

'It wasn't supposed to be like this.' John thought, and it was clear from the scowl on his face that 'the way things were supposed to be' and the way they actually were was not in his favor. An outside observer unaware of the events that led to his current state of mind would have been surprised, indeed hard-pressed to find anything that was wrong with his current situation. Here he was, a man in his mid thirties, an unattractive man by most standards, indeed there was a clique of girls in his high school who had even called him ugly. Yet here he was, sitting naked in a hot tub with three girls who would have been labeled not only attractive but drop dead gorgeous by any objective standard. The girls weren't naked, true. His sister was allowed to wear a bikini. While a number of his men had seen her naked, that was mostly the result of walking in on her while she was in the process of changing and having to hunt for her clothes (Dave enjoyed teasing her by relocating her wardrobe when she wasn't looking) and the time when, at the peak of her rebellious streak, John had forbidden her to wear anything for a month, which had turned …show more content…

Kevin was the police Captain in charge of George’s protection detail, and it felt like half the calls he'd fielded today had been from Catie demanding to know what had happened to her star witness. And the other half had been from his men reporting one failure after another as they tried to locate said witness. At least that had been the case up until about 20 minutes ago when George had finally contacted his wife and Stacey, the officer he'd assigned to head the detail at George's house, had grabbed the phone and insisted George come in or lose his protection detail. And everyone was very well aware of what woudl happen to the females in that case. Kevin had been afraid George had gotten killed, so hearing he was still alive was the first piece of good news Kevin had received all

    There was a heavy rain outside, but other than that, the room was silent. George stared at the bunk where Lennie slept, unable to sleep. He was filled with hatred of the world that forced him to kill his own friend. As the night dragged on his hatred shifted to Curley’s wife, then Curley. “If Curley hadn’t let his tramp wife go around and cause trouble Lennie would still be here” George thought. Just then, Lennie appeared in front of him with a look of deep sadness and pain. Seeing Lennie’s pain and suffering, sent him over the edge. “That god damn Curley!” George thought, grabbing Carlson’s gun while he slept. “This is all his fault!” he thought, consumed by rage.

    His opposer stands triumphantly as he thought to have succeeded in his mission. “How ill mannered is he?” the sniper murmured to himself with a devious smile. Standing tall in all black; blazer, bow tie, socks, Balmoral shoes, with the button up also to be corresponding. He appears seemingly endless like a black shadowed character made up to startle young children. The opposing sniper moves as if he is the actual Slender Man. As he stands as a vacuous man, I conjure my scheme to vanish him.

  • The Importance of Decisions Aldous Huxley's Brave New World

    941 Words  | 2 Pages

    As largely out of place Linda is, she still manages to have a sense of love and affection towards John. It is insignificant to John's already made choices as to whether or not Linda truly cares. Yet, it still dwells on shaping the boy’s decisions. Firstly, when John talks to Bernard about his memories they are brief and John chooses not to think too much of them and accepts the fact that they happened. This proves John’s optimism towards difficult situations. Also, he never held a grudge against his mother for being so socially unacceptable and making it hard for John to live his own way. In the end John still held onto her. Another way John shows optimism is how he deals with the bullies in the reservation. Instead of keeping it on his mind how mean and rude the other boys where, the raggedy boy instead thought about how h...

  • Bernard Marx In Brave New World

    736 Words  | 2 Pages

    Just as the Author finishes his elaboration of how despicable the World State successfully disclosed lovesickness, and everything that goes along with frustrated desire. John gives the reader the first glimpse into a character’s private thoughts. This character is one who is lovesick, jealous, and suggestively angry towards his sexual rivals. John subtly expresses his anger towards Henry Foster and Benito Hoover, whom are two characters from the novel that are very different from him. He calls them “idiots, swine” (55). On the surface level, a reader would come to believe that John discontent stems from a systematic or philosophical dislike for his society. Although this argument contains elements of truth, John discontent more accurately stems from his frustrated desire to fit into his own society. As a result, he goes on an endeavor to search for his idealized

  • Creative Writing: Letters from London

    1198 Words  | 3 Pages

    The window was cold to the touch. The glass shimmered as the specks of sunlight danced, and Blake stood, peering out. As God put his head to the window, at once, he felt light shining through his soul. Six years old. Age ceased to define him and time ceased to exist. Silence seeped into every crevice of the room, and slowly, as the awe of the vision engulfed him, he felt the gates slowly open. His thoughts grew fluid, unrestrained, and almost chaotic. An untouched imagination had been liberated, and soon, the world around him transformed into one of magnificence and wonder. His childish naivety cloaked the flaws and turbulence of London, and the imagination became, to Blake, the body of God. The darkness lingering in the corners of London slowly became light. Years passed by, slowly fading into wisps of the past, and the blanket of innocence deteriorated as reality blurred the clarity of childhood.

  • Compare And Contrast Mustapha Mond And John The Savage

    1035 Words  | 3 Pages

    Though John faces great change and many tribulations throughout the novel, his inner character remains the same throughout. While living on the reservation John was constantly subjected to isolation due to the fact he looked different than the rest of the members of the reservation, but John made use of his time and took to learning and loving Shakespeare a skill that helped John verbalize his emotions in the Brave New World. Shakespeare was unheard of in the Brave New World. John was immersed so deeply in Shakespeare’s ability to portray power, love, and emotion, all things that have been sacrificed by the World State, that he find himself in isolation once again. John used his knowledge of Shakespearean plays to help him understand occurrences in his life. John makes a parallel connection between his mom’s openness to having sex with the Pope and Othella. The connection signals the audience to recognize the disapproval of sex by John and helps the reader foreshadow his hatred and disrespect towards Lenina. “John The Savage is in a continuous struggle with not being accepted by others in both worlds. On the reservation, he was isolated for his pale skin and blue eyes while in the Brave New World he once again faces isolation due to the fact he can form emotions and has opposing views about the promiscuity of the society. The Alphas and Betas make John a spectacle because he is different and poke fun at him because they

  • Creative Writing: The Midnight Theft

    1577 Words  | 4 Pages

    As the sun slowly settled, darkness began to overcome the Earth. Sickness—had come. The sickness slowly but readily crept into each home. It was the Midnight Theft. The destructive plague stole during midnight—it stole lives. Deep in the heart of Tukenasville, people were dying, and the whole country was beginning to perish. The flowers withered as they bloomed. The mountain peaks crumbled under steer weight. Animals fled to holes to live out the final moments of their life. People were distraught, and chaos was invading every planet in the macrocosm. People called me Nikolaou Gonfalon. I was the last of the Warriors of Phos. Long ago, the Sisters of Moiré ordained my doomed fate. I tried to bargain with them to change it, but in the end, I captured them and locked them up in a repository on a cliff. I was to lead the expedition to find the cure for the Midnight Theft. That, however, was not the reason why I would go on this journey. My best friend, Tolem, was dying of a rare illness called Takigifeay. It was causing the slow built up of lactic acid on his bones. I knew that death would come to him soon. Legend spoke about a necklace that can bring life to anyone or thing. It was said to have been belonged to an Oceanian, one of the water people. The Lost Jade Necklace of Serenity was what it was called, and it could bring healing to the Earth. Nonetheless, it could be the obliteration of mankind, also. I began to pack since my journey was to start at that moment.
