Chapter 2. The road to the witches’ camp. The grandmother swept everything that was not from her home out. She threw the iron wires outside her house. Her grandson was not in the house. He went to fetch water at the fountain. What Magode threw away, was collected by some children. They took what they could. These objects were important toys for them. They headed toward their playground, happy with what they got. On their way, they met a giant man who was returning from the refuse dump. "Where did you get this," asked Mr. Gypsclomo, the giant man, while ceasing one of the wires to have a closer look at it. "We found it, we found it on the ground," replied the tallest boy among them. "Where? You, liars," shouted Mr. Gypsclomo dressed in a white cloth leaving his hairy chest bare. His look was really intimidating and the children felt it. "At grandmother Magode's place," said the tallest boy, "she swept them away, we are not lying." "Good, give them all to me" said Mr. Gypsclomo as his eyes became red making the boys run away. Dadster Posh also swept the house at when he woke up early. He collected the dirt and threw it into the dustbin. Two days have passed that he has not gone to the refuse dump. He must go and see what was happening there. Unknown to him, the grandmother Magode was watching him. She has made her mind that Dadster Posh would not go and throw the refuse away again. She resolved to do it herself. It was the opportunity for her to do morning exercise by walking to and fro to the refuse dump. But that day the boy waked up before her. Her action threw her grandson into a great sadness. Dadster Posh went to stand in one corner of the hall with that mixed feeling of shame and anger. The grandfather Nene ... ... middle of paper ... ...e gathered separately and tied up together. Mr. Gypsclomo spoke to the boys. "I thank you very much" he turned to Dadster Posh and said: "You see, I will add vulture feathers to this to make it complete" continued the giant man with a hairy chest. "I remove the features from the vultures." said Tobi to defend his father, “and my father sets the bird free again.” Dadster Posh listened to him quietly. Inside him, he did not believe a word of what he was saying. "So my friend," continued Mr. Gypsclomo after hearing his son defense, "Don't destroy my traps, I need vulture feathers to save our village." Though Dadster Posh was present in front of him, he did not hear a word of what the giant man with a hairy chest was telling him. His mind has refused to listen. "Come and feast with us this evening" the giant Gypsclomo ended.

Susie’s mother opened the door to let Molly, Susie’s babysitter, inside. Ten-month old Susie seemed happy to see Molly. Susie then observed her mother put her jacket on and Susie’s face turned from smiling to sad as she realized that her mother was going out. Molly had sat for Susie many times in the past month, and Susie had never reacted like this before. When Susie’s mother returned home, the sitter told her that Susie had cried until she knew that her mother had left and then they had a nice time playing with toys until she heard her mother’s key in the door. Then Susie began crying once again.
Step 3: 1. Eighner introduces his arguments through the use of narrative stories and his own personal experiences. He uses this technique to let the reader see firsthand how some people are able to survive off what is carelessly thrown away by others who take what they own for granted. Eighner illustrates this point on page 1, “The necessities of daily life I began to extract from Dumpsters. Yes, we ate from Dumpsters. Except for jeans, all my clothes can from Dumpsters. Boom boxes, candles, bedding, toilet paper, medicine, books, a typewriter… I acquired many things from the Dumpsters.”

“I got it. I got the horn,” he muttered. “Prod fought hard but I managed to take it away. He didn’t like what I did to his Safe House. Those wealthy kids of his have a surprise in store for them. I hope you like it, Trunk. I did it for Gilbert’s family.” He slumped into Trunks arms.

daunting mass, lies on the page something so obscured that it can only communicate Grandfather’s amplified silence (Foer, #). As Atchison notes on this occasion, “no room yields no voice” (Atchison, 365). In this instance, Grandfather’s representation of language serves as a symbolic release as he struggles to express the disorder that resulted from his personal trauma. The chaos of Grandfather’s communication, therefore, serves not only to emphasize the survivor’s linguistic processing of his psychological aftermath, but also the effect that takes place on the audience as they attempt to make sense of his coping method.
The material hammer was passed down generation through generation as well as knowledge of carpentry and the blue-collar mentality of hand-crafted work. Sanders take away from the hammer was much more than just the material being of the hammer. Sanders would also continue to keep the tradition going as he encouraged his son and daughter to use hammers to make a porcupine out of the blocks of wood they played with much like he did with his father. Along with the theme of inheritance is the theme of true morals. Sanders explains in the story that his daughter’s pet gerbils would climb into a heat vent which led to the inside of the perfect new wall he had constructed. Sander’s daughter expressed her heartbreak to her father as if the gerbils did not come out in time, they would die of starvation. Sanders, however, assured his daughter that if need be, he would indeed tear down the wall in which he had so much pride in as he used his father’s technique to build. The gerbils indeed would come out though as he lured them out with food and
This was a king he had all of life’s desires at the tip of his fingers. He had no obligation to protect the pigeon, but his compassion towards living things would not allow a defenseless creature be ripped to shreds. The king was willing to sacrifice his own flesh and he did so just for one little pigeon. His compassion brought the king to the gods and the highest heaven.
