Bookman´s Apprentice: A Fictional Narrative
[ at first, the feed is shaky, as if lavi is shaking his crystal absentmindedly in an attempt to initiate contact. when he realizes he was successful, he leans forward. ]

Hey. [ a smile spreads across his face all too easily, with his eye bright green and shining. he moves a shock of red hair away from his face. given his disheveled nature, he seems to have just awoken from a nap. ] I was gonna ask this earlier, but — [ he shrugs, careless over the loss of time. oh well. suddenly, his entire body perks, as if he just remembered something! ] Ah, introduction first. My bad.

[ Who are you? ]

I'm Lavi. [ this time, the smile is wide and toothy. ] That's all. [ as in no last name — no substance. ] I'm the Bookman's Apprentice. [ Who is the Bookman? ] That means I help my geezer mentor record the hidden history of the place I came from [ not his home, just a place. ] without bias or ulterior motive. I'll be doing the same here, of course. Well, in-between naps, anyway. Regardless, I'd like to know if you've seen anything historic so far that I might have missed. [ he taps the patch

I doubt any of my guesses are right, as if I could do you justice. You're entirely my type! [ and the one visible eye winks.

    Although most assume Death looks like the Grim Reaper or a scary skeleton thing, in The Book Thief, Death is not. In fact, he even tells us what he looks like when he says, “I do not carry a sickle or a scythe. I only wear a hooded black robe when it’s cold. And I don’t have those skull-like facial features you seem to enjoy pinning on me from a distance… Find yourself a mirror while I continue” (Zusak 307). Essentially Death is saying that because all humans die, we all resemble death. Humans can and will die, and thus he is one of the things that is constant between all humans. Due to this reason I drew a man looking into a mirror to show Death. I just…

    Have you ever wondered where you would be if you would have chosen another path? Have you ever wondered how that choice could have changed your life if you would have made it? Often I look back and think about my past and look at the places I have been and the things I have done. Some things I’m not proud of. Some of those things bring back vague memories. Whether they are good or bad they still come back to me. Everything we do is based upon choices. After we make those choices there comes consequences. We can never decide our consequences, they just come.…

    Tom wondered for what seemed to be the millionth time why Dectives were required to dress like wall-street bankers or stock analysts. At least that was the expectation in public, however the moment he had the office to himself, he unknotted his tie, slipped off the linen suit jacket, and undid the top button of his shirt, then sat back in his chair, raised his eyes to the ceiling, and tapped the tip of a ballpoint pen against his teeth. That was Tom's usual mode of concentration and contemplation, and so intent was the man's focus on the new case that all else slipped from his mind, even the recollection that he'd texted his wife. Therefore, the sudden familiar sound of her voice, accompanied by the enticing aroma of barbecue, startled him, and he immediately shot upright. The sight of Lila elicited a smile that only widened with the greeting and kiss. "Sorry baby."…

    Disappointment marked his life since his childhood and consistent failure in his earlier life led him to become a cruel ruler. Adolf Hitler was a dictator of Germany and he focused his hatred in the Jewish community. He manipulated the Germans by promising them protection and firm leadership. In the book, “Lord of the Flies”, by William Golding, the character Jack Merridew represents Adolf Hitler and his actions. They are both cruel and are eager to get power at any extent. They maintained power and control by using cruel methods and punishing people. Hitler killed millions of Jews and non-Germans and his opponents, and Jack punished whoever disobeyed in his tribe and tried to get rid of anyone that might be a threat like Ralph. Both Hitler’s and Ralph’s continuous failure made their anger grow and caused them to reach a point where there was no humanity left in them.…

He sat down on the old gray office chair in the living room, waiting impatiently for the interview to start. He wore one of his favorite shirts, the white one with holes in it, and blue plaid pajama pants. His black eyes wandered across the room, as he scratched his beard looking as if he regretted agreeing to this interview.

    When reading a short story, poem, or even novel the author often attempts to provide the audience with some type of personal connection to a variety of components to the reading. An author may select very personable, hardworking, and unselfish characters to allow the audience to connect in some way with the main or subordinate characters; or the author may elect to provide a common type of setting to provide the readers an additional way to connect to the literature. Mona Simpson’s short story entitled “Coins” (Scheckner & Boyes 2008) is a story which provides many opportunities for the reader to make some type of personal connection by providing a story of an untraditional family setting. Simpson’s story provided a few important lessons that people need to keep in mind as they go about their daily lives. The short story sheds light to what should be important in a person’s life; what should be a priority, the lessons taught to children through hard work and love.…
