Velle: A Short Story

Decent Essays
The beautiful music of Velle saying my name was starting to drift me away. Shaking the thought from my head, I looked at her seriously, “Stop. I did something awful, and then I get a letter to come here. What are you stopping it from doing?” I raised my voice to a thunderous hateful tone. Feeling the constant thud of my heart rushing blood through my extremities, I balled my hands into tight fists. “I don’t like games, don’t beseech my intelligence” As if reacting to my anger, this time I couldn’t see the umbrage, but I could feel it shift away from me moving closer to Velle. Consequently a painfully, screeching, grinding sound came from seemingly everywhere, but nowhere in specific. Just as the gruesome sound started, our prisons started to

    The adrenaline was pumping through my veins and I couldn’t stop despite the fact that my lungs felt as if there were icy shards lodged in my chest. Haunted figures of the men that destroyed my life as I knew it flashed before my eyes as I lept over crates and pushed down trash cans behind me, my path marked by a riddled maze of rotted food and old possessions. The tears in my eyes were no longer tears,but streaks of moisture…

    In her writings, George dismisses acts of cowardice in combat, stating “In the rules of prison altercations, it is definitely not cool to double bank someone, which is what occurs when several inmates gang up on a solitary victim” (George, Page 62). Further reading shows us that these “street charges” usually get people added time to their sentences. In addition, George contends that “ The fights are “getting out of control as the rules become more rigid and inmates are increasingly isolated in their wings”(George, Page 68), which constitutes an adverse effect to the belief commonly held. However, our author finds herself in the honor wing, which is devoid of fights and has few verbal…

    As I approached the end of the row I rapidly found myself drawn to one grave in particular. It stood isolated and behind it was a huge oak tree looming that had basked the grave in shadow and shade. The grave’s headstone had been intricately carved out of white marble and had angel inlays impressed into it. The name engraved on it read, Magdalena Scovell, with the dates 1773-1790. I imagined about her life and how cool it must have been that this girl had been alive during the time when our country was just being forged from a small group of revolutionists that didn’t want to deal with a King’s bullshit anymore.…

    Emmanuel Jal’s retelling of the traumatic events that he encountered in the Second Sudanese Civil War gave a powerful message while also being rhetorically genius. Jal is an incredibly skilled writer, which is impressive since having been affected by the war since the age of seven, he must have had to work extremely hard in school and even after to get himself to this level. His words cut deep as you feel his pain and loss, soothe each time he finds a way around “the rocks in the road”, and encourage as we take notes on how to be the kind of people that give all we can to others and then more. Jal’s use of repetitive words simulated the experience of trauma as the graphic scenes and phrases whirl around and around inside his head while he tries…

    The Vendetta is not an example of a Modern Short Story due to its criteria. There is no emphasis on subtle characterization. The plot of the story is fast paced and has an obvious goal. The author is trying make you anticipate the events that are going to occur, rather than having metaphorical relationships between characters and objects. The fast paced plot is evident when the story said, “One evening, after a quarrel, Antoine Saverini was treacherously slain by a knife-thrust from Nicolas Ravolati, who got away to Sardinia the same night.”…
