“Please! Ple-e-e-ease! Please let me go! I really don’t like it when you keep me here. Let me go back to my house!” Jennifer says
“I won’t let you go until I get back what I have wanted for a long time” A deep mysterious voice says.
“But-but why me? I have never took anything from anyone, ever in my whole life.” Jenn says in a soft scared tone.
She’s got handcuffs on, in the corner of a room. The voice is coming from the other side of the room, its dark and musty. ‘Am I in a basement’ she thinks to herself. About an hour passes then she sees a little bit of light for just a moment on the other side of the room; where the voice was coming from earlier that day.
“I see you.” A voice says, this time a girls voice.
“Wh-wh-who are you? And wh-wh-what do you want?” Jenn says in a scared tone of voice.
“I want the painting back!” the voice exclaims.
“What are you talking about? I don’t have any paintings, and if I do they aren’t yours. IM only a 14 year old girl I don’t steel at all.”
“That’s a lie, why would you have my Leonardo Da Vinci painting.”
“THAT’S WHY YOU KIDNAPPED ME?” Jenn says
“Yes, it is.” The voice says
“That was passed down from my family members, your not getting it. Goodye.” Jenn says as she runs out the door.
They never saw each other again.

Godfather Death
Most parents would care about their kids enough to take care of them. Well in the story “Godfather Death” everything is the total opposite. This short story is a irony with many symbols that are very intriguing.
Ironies are stories that are unrealistic and end in death or death symbolism; that is the main theme of this short story. In the beginning it starts in a chaotic mood with the man having thirteen children. Then the father gives his 13 kids to random people on the street which makes this unrealistic. Surprisingly enough he gives the 13th kid to Death, the kid grows up and becomes a doctor. Next the doctor uses his relationship with death to keep his friend alive. Death gets a little bit mad and warns the doctor that the next time he does that he will pay for it with his neck. Later on in the story the doctor decides to betray death again, which was not a good idea. Death decides to kill his godson because he has betrayed him yet again. This makes the ending of the story death, which also proves that the short story “Godfather Death” a irony.
Symbols are parts of a story that show meaning. In the story “Godfather Death” there are many important symbols. One of the many symbols that I have found in the short story are chairs. Chairs in the story is a form of isolation. In many situations the chairs are like throne. This is a symbol of control, the godfather has all of the control in this situation. Another symbol is the window, in the short story the window for Vito is looking into the window seeing something that he can’t have. This is a symbol of depression and thinking that you are not good enough when you truly are.
“Godfather death” is a irony with many symbols. Having a godfather that is death is probably a huge struggle. I feel bad for the kid in this situation he has nothing that he can hold on to and trust. With death all he can do is obey and if he doesn’t he would pay for it with his life, which is what ends up happening. Remember that if you are like the guy that has the 13 kids, don’t give your kids away to random people on the street. Or they might end up getting killed by their potential godfather.

A Clean Well-Lighted Place
Strong and not so strong opinions on life. Which one would you choose? Well in the story "A Clean Well Lighted Place" that is what happens. This story has many symbols that show who a real person is.
Young and immature,seeing the shadow was a wakeup call for the young waiter in the story. All he really cares about is money and his wife, which is not what everyone should only care about. Everyone should adore what they have in life, sooner or later the young waiter is going to turn into the drunk guy that goes to the bar every night. Most people in life would to waste there life just making money. This man does not make me happy, all he really does is talk about other people and make other people feel terrible about their self’s; when he is the one that he should be thinking about.
Young people are immature and unwise while well aged people are wise. Wise, more knowledgeable in life, cares about the old man that is drinking himself away. He tries to educate the younger waiter about how life is a good thing and that he should cherish it. Doesn’t sleep until daytime, he’s like a guardian who cannot sleep darkness makes him feel unsure in darkness because he worries about people like the old man. The old waiter is a symbol of hope for the young waiter, because some day he may turn into how Hemmingway was with depression and insecurity.
Hemmingway was not a good influence on many people. This short story was a flashback of what happened to him. Hemmingway was the old man that goes to the bar every night to drink. Then later on in life he does kill himself which is probably what he was trying to show through the old drunk man.
"A Clean Well Lighted Place" has many intriguing symbols. Many people may not cherish the life that they have, but the old waiter does. While the young waiter and old drunk man don’t like what they have going for them when they should. Always care for what you have before it’s all gone, and you have nothing left to hold on to.

Hospital
BACKROUND:
Johns father died when he was only four. Many mysterious things have been going on with his step father, and he’s trying to figure out what they are. John also has a terrifying secret that you would never want anyone to have.
Beep…Beep…Beep. John looks around machines all over, tubes in his nose, and in his arm. A nurse walks in his room. She smiles, then walks out the door. He hears stammering down the hall then footsteps. He gazes off and wakes up and finds out that he was sleeping for two days. He wakes up with people staring at him. Family is crying.
“BLAH!”
John throws up for the fifteenth time today.
ONE MONTH LATER
“John wake up! Its your first day of school, you wouldn’t want to be late.” Johns mom says.
“Uhhhh.” John groans.
“John get up or you will miss the bus and you will be a outcast.”
“NO! I’m too tired!” John exclaims.
“Too bad!”
John finally gets up 20 minutes later. Doesn’t eat breakfast then leaves.
‘The bus, the bus oh no, the bus. Not again I don’t want to go to school’ John thinks to himself.
“John you forgot your backpack.” Johns mother says.
“MOM!! I don’t need it. It’s the first day there will be no homework, go back inside” He says.
“Don’t you talk to your mother like that.” She says.
“Fine bye!”
FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL
John walks in the door everyone is staring at him, its dead silent in the hall. He’s the only one walking everyone else’s eyes are locked on him. Surprisingly the coolest girl in school Jen talks to him.
“Hi” Jen says.
“Hi?” he said.
“Who are you?” she said.
“John, who are you?”
“I’m Jen, what class do you have first hour? Maybe I could show you the way.”
“Uhm, I have science with Mrs. Scheilder first hour.”
“I have the same class, I’ll walk with you.” Jen says.
“Okay? I really don’t know you that well.”
“Well I really want to hang out with you and get to know you, I’m friends with everyone and I want to be friends with you too.” Jen replies
“Okay, well we should get to know each other then.” He says
SCIENCE
Johns sitting in class waiting for it to start. Its 7:28 class starts at 7:30 ‘two more minutes, just two more minutes’ he keeps telling himself. Finally the bell rings and the teacher starts to talk.
“Hello everyone my name is Mrs. Scheilder”
Everyone is quiet, she is a scary teacher. Most people call her hair lady she has hair that sticks up all the time. She also wears bright blue eye shadow, with bright pink blush. Mrs. Scheilder also never wears clothes that match they always have to be different. ‘Not again, another teacher like this’ he thinks to himself.
“How was everyone’s summer?” She asks.
“If anything good happened raise your hand and you can share to the class.”
Everyone in the class raises there hand except John.
“Hmmmm…”she pauses and then looks over at John, “I think that you should share young man, what’s your name?” Mrs. Scheilder asks.
“Uhmm, my name is john.”
“Well share what happened over the summer.” She says
“First I went to Florida and then I was gone for the rest of the summer.” John says.
“ Nothing else happened sir?”
“No.”
“Okay, moving on then. This year we will..blah blah blah”
All John hears for the rest of the class is blah blah blah, now he can’t stop looking at Jen. Jen glances over for a second. John jerks his head to the other direction to make sure that she didn’t see him staring at her. ‘Please tell me that she didn’t see, please, please’ ‘Oh no, she saw’ The bell rings. Jen walks up to him after class says “I saw you looking at me ” Then she winks and walks away.
John walks down the hall and then thinks, what class do I have next? Jen walks up to him then says.
“You need help finding your class?”
“Yes please, that would be very helpful.” John exclaims
So they walk to the class together, and become really close. Over the next week they become so close that they are never away from each other.
“It only took one week, for us to fall in love.” Jen says.
“I love you.”John says.
“I love you too.” Jen replies
ONE MONTH LATER
For the month they have gotten so close that they told each other everything. One day, a week later John walked in the house to find that there was nothing in the house except two newspapers. His step father was walking around frantically trying to figure out what had happened. John turns to the right and the BAM! He gets punched across the face. His step father walks out the door like nothing had happened.
ONE WEEK LATER
Beep…Beep…Beep. John wakes up in the hospital no one in the room, someone walks in the room and then leaves; it kind of looked like a nurse. Gibberish is the only thing john can hear right now down the hall. Walking in and out of Johns room were really weird people. ‘Who are these people, who; please leave please leave.’ He thinks to himself.
“STOP IT!” John screams
“Stop what John?” A voice says in the background.
“You! Who are you? I want you out of here now.” John says angrily.
“I am your worst nightmare John. I am not leaving until I get what I want.” The voice exclaims.
“Too bad! Nurs …”
He doesn’t finish, the person puts his hand over Johns mouth just before he can finish. John analyzes the persons hand. Its sweaty, warm and big. Its dark so John can’t see who it is. The persons voice is deep, so John assumes it’s a man. The man takes his hand off Johns mouth.
“Are you going to scream anymore?” He says
“It depends are you going to hurt me?” John exclaims.
“I already did once.”
“How?” John says
“I was in your house, I put you in this horrible place.” The voice says.
“ You were the one in my house?” John says in a weary tone.
“Yes, and now I need something from you. Your step father has something of mine and
I need it back, and if I don’t get it back you and your whole family will pay the price of his mistakes.”
“Why?” John says
“It is 200,000,000 dollars and I took everything out of your house, I have your mother sister…and your cute little girlfriend so find your step father and get the money back in 24 hours or else.”
Then he walks out the door, now he is sure it’s a man. He could see the short hair and the whiskers on his face. A nurse walks in the room right as the man leaves. Now John is determined to find his step father, he needs his mother, little sister and especially his girlfriend.
Assuming that the man would hurt his family and girlfriend, he gets right on the job. John tears the tubes out of his arm and nose and walks out of the hospital. He’s not going to put up with anything that anyone does or tells him. Johns buttons were just pushed to the limit.
For the next couple weeks, all John does is looks all around the state for his step father. He is nowhere to be found. At the time John is staying in his old house living on nothing. He sleeps on the floor. Birds, birds all around. Doves the birds of love are always in Johns house.
Knock…Knock…Knock John hears at the door. A tall burly man knocks down the door and walks it with a gun in his hand, and with five other people behind him.
“Whoever is in this house put your hands up!” A man says in a deafening tone.
John drops to the floor and puts his hands behind his back. Come to find out they were friends of the man in the hospital. The men take him to the man that was in the hospital room with john. Walking into a shady room, no windows just one light in the corner. ‘Remember everything in this room, everything.’ John tells himself. ‘ A closet, a tiny bathroom, one dim light in the corner a tiny cot and a back door with a padlock on it.’ John keeps repeating that trying to remember everything in the room how they came in and where they are.
To the right of where he was sitting there was a clock. It had been ten minutes scence they took John to their shack. Then John looked to the left where the door was and he saw it open and a man that was muscular with pitch black hair, and whiskers. He walks in the door and then stops looks around, his eyes stop right on John.
“Where’s my money?” The man says.
“First I would like to know your name and I would also like to talk to my mother, little sister and girlfriend on the phone to make sure that they are still alive.” John says in a serious tone.
“Well you’re a determined little feller there no aren’t you?” The man replies.
‘Now I know that he is from the south, he is talking like he is from the country now all I need to break down is how my step father got the money.’ He thought to himself.
“Yes I am, now what is your name?”John exclaims.
“My name is Mark. Now where is my money?” Mark says
“You’re not getting your money until you tell me how my step father took your money and where my family is.” John says
“Fine, you are really making me mad you need to give me my money or else.”
Then it gets really silent and then all of the sudden Mark pulls out a gun and points it right to Johns head. John falls to the floor within a second.
“Mark! I thought he weren’t going to hurt the kid!” His friends said.
“I didn’t touch the kid or shoot him! Let his family and his girlfriend go, call the police and then let’s go.” Mark says.
The family and girlfriend of John came running out of the one closet that was it the room, the men left and everyone was back together.
Beep…Beep…Beep. John looks around machines all over, tubes in his nose, and in his arm. A nurse walks in his room. She looks at him with a glare then walks out the door. He hears stammering down the hall then footsteps. He gazes off and wakes up a little while later. There are three people in the hospital girlfriend Jen.
“ I’m sorry to tell you this, but your son will not be leaving the hospital for quite some time.” The nurse says quietly.
The nurse takes his mother out into the hall and talks to her for about five minutes. She comes in crying.
“BLAH!”
John throws up. He can’t move at all. Jen comes over and sits next to him.
“What happened to you?” She says quietly.
“I can’t tell you. You know I love you, but I don’t want you to see me like this. Please Jen leave.” John replies
“No, I need to know your secret, what are you keeping from me?” She exclaims.
“Nothing now please leave.”
“You have been in the hospital three times in the past couple weeks this is not good. If you’re sick just tell me and I will come and live with you in here, because I love you with all my heart.”
“Please Jen I am begging you, your all I want forever and always but you need to go. Otherwise you will get your heart broken and I can’t have that happen to you so please leave. I will call you tomorrow night and then you can come and visit me when it’s a good time.”
“I love you and I want to know what you’re keeping from me, but I will wait until you think it’s the right time.” Jen says in a soft tone.
Jen leaves the goes home. ‘It’s been two weeks.’ Jen thinks to herself. ‘I can’t wait any longer I need to see him, but what if he breaks up with me. Then what would I do? He’s the only reason I’m still living here.’ She thinks more. ‘I don’t know what to do anymore.’ She thinks. Jen picks up the phone and calls Johns mother. ‘1… 2… 6… 2 … 5…0 …1 …0 …4 …3 …7 …I think that’s it.’ Jen thinks to herself.
“Hello, who is this?” Johns mother Mary says.
“ This is Jen I was calling to see if John is okay.” Jen says in a soft tone.
“Oh, yes he is doing fine. Getting better as the days go on, how is school going?” Mary says in tears.
“It’s going okay I guess, when is john going to be back in school?” Jen asks.
“He should be back at school on Monday, wait today is Friday right?”
“Yes it is Friday, so he will be back at school on Monday?” Jen asks.
“Yes he is way better. Would you like to talk to him?” Mary asks.
“Yes I would like to talk to him.” Jen replies.
“Hello?” John asks.
“Yes, John this is Jen I have been waiting for this moment ever scence I left the hospital that day.” Jen says.
“Jen, you know that I love you and I miss you I’m just not strong enough for this yet.” John says in tears.
“Why are you doing this? You know that we are meant to be together. Every person has their match and my match is you. I don’t know what I would do without you.” Jen says
“I have to do this for your own good. I am sorry I just can’t hurt you again. And you are my match and you are the reason that I am still here, but you need to get out of my life before anything else bad can happen to you.” John says sobbing.
“The only way that you could hurt me is by what your doing right now. Me and you were meant for eachother. We may fight every now and then, but that is what couples do especially me and you. I love you and I cant live without you. So don’t hurt me please.” Jen says in tears.
“Jen, we can try this but you have to know that if one day I don’t come to school it is because I am either dead; or sick.” John exclaims.
“Okay, but can you please just tell me why your in here?” Jen says
“I have cancer…”
Johns father died when he was only four. Many mysterious things have been going on with his step father, and he’s trying to figure out what they are. John also has a terrifying secret that you would never want anyone to have.
Beep…Beep…Beep. John looks around machines all over, tubes in his nose, and in his arm. A nurse walks in his room. She smiles, then walks out the door. He hears stammering down the hall then footsteps. He gazes off and wakes up and finds out that he was sleeping for two days. He wakes up with people staring at him. Family is crying.

The nurse takes his mother out into the hall and talks to her for about five minutes. She comes in crying.
“BLAH!”
John throws up. He can’t move at all. Jen comes over and sits next to him.
“What happened to you?” She says quietly.
“I can’t tell you. You know I love you, but I don’t want you to see me like this. Please Jen leave.” John replies
“No, I need to know your secret, what are you keeping from me?” She exclaims.
“Nothing now please leave.”
“You have been in the hospital three times in the past couple weeks this is not good. If you’re sick just tell me and I will come and live with you in here, because I love you with all my heart.”
“Please Jen I am begging you, your all I want forever and always but you need to go. Otherwise you will get your heart broken and I can’t have that happen to you so please leave. I will call you tomorrow night and then you can come and visit me when it’s a good time.”
“I love you and I want to know what you’re keeping from me, but I will wait until you think it’s the right time.” Jen says in a soft tone.
Jen leaves the goes home. ‘It’s been two weeks.’ Jen thinks to herself. ‘I can’t wait any longer I need to see him, but what if he breaks up with me. Then what would I do? He’s the only reason I’m still living here.’ She thinks more. ‘I don’t know what to do anymore.’ She thinks. Jen picks up the phone and calls Johns mother. ‘1… 2… 6… 2 … 5…0 …1 …0 …4 …3 …7 …I think that’s it.’ Jen thinks to herself.
“Hello, who is this?” Johns mother Mary says.
“ This is Jen I was calling to see if John is okay.” Jen says in a soft tone.
“Oh, yes he is doing fine. Getting better as the days go on, how is school going?” Mary says in tears.
“It’s going okay I guess, when is john going to be back in school?” Jen asks.
“He should be back at school on Monday, wait today is Friday right?”
“Yes it is Friday, so he will be back at school on Monday?” Jen asks.
“Yes he is way better. Would you like to talk to him?” Mary asks.
“Yes I would like to talk to him.” Jen replies.
“Hello?” John asks.
“Yes, John this is Jen I have been waiting for this moment ever scence I left the hospital that day.” Jen says.
“Jen, you know that I love you and I miss you I’m just not strong enough for this yet.” John says in tears.
“Why are you doing this? You know that we are meant to be together. Every person has their match and my match is you. I don’t know what I would do without you.” Jen says
“I have to do this for your own good. I am sorry I just can’t hurt you again. And you are my match and you are the reason that I am still here, but you need to get out of my life before anything else bad can happen to you.” John says sobbing.
“The only way that you could hurt me is by what your doing right now. Me and you were meant for eachother. We may fight every now and then, but that is what couples do especially me and you. I love you and I cant live without you. So don’t hurt me please.” Jen says in tears.
“Jen, we can try this but you have to know that if one day I don’t come to school it is because I am either dead; or sick.” John exclaims.
“Okay, but can you please just tell me why your in here?” Jen says
“I have cancer…”
