    After what felt like hours the tortured groan of the heavy iron door announced the arrival of an unknown guest. As the man walked in the room he turned and smiled at us causing me to scoff within Alice’s mind; “I hear that you’ve been hearing voices” the man asked in a sickly sweet tone. “Kill him” i sneer in the most sinister way and with a slight nod of the head my corrupted little puppet jumped at him tearing at the flesh of his meaty neck with her sharp little teeth causing him to stumble to the ground as he sputtered violently on the crimson liquid that spilt down his convulsing body. Alice then began playing with the man’s pulsing laceration as if a toddler were playing with their food while giggling manically. Only to be halted by a pair of hands wrapping around our body and violently throwing us across the cell all I could hear were the grotesque cracks as each bone broke and Alice’s sweet screams of pain as she is kicked across the room until she was nothing but a whimpering heap in the corner. “Die” the tall man screamed as he picked Alice up by the legs and slammed us against the cold walls of the cell with a sickening crack causing one final screech of pain from Alice to ricochet through the vile halls of the prison as she slumped to the ground with black oozing from her terrified eyes and her mouth that was left…

    "for safety is not a gadget but a state of mind" and so is hope. When you are facing obstacles all you think of is finding a solution no matter what . That was the case when the Joad family had no other way but to find a better place to live in.They decided to leave everything behind and go to California. The place that many families decided to go to believing they can find a good life waiting for them.

He decided to move to a far place where he can find safety and hope and star a new life.My family's story could also relate to Christopher's but instead of family issues we had society and environment issues. We did not live in peace and all we wanted is to find a better place.…

    Within the grand residence of Stoke Moran, the home of the Stoner/Roylott family, it is important to note that there is a relevant history of captivity. Helen and her sister lived a hard life growing up; after losing their mother they were fundamentally forced to run the household largely by themselves as no servants would stay with them (Doyle 156). This evil stepparent and hardworking type of life bears great resemblance to the classic fairy tale of “Cinderella.” And just like Cinderella these girls need someone to save them from their lives of captivity and their evil step-father. There are various cases within the story that validate this theme of captivity, especially after the death of Helen’s sister Julia. When Helen is first described by Watson as she sits in the living room her facial expression is said to be like that of a hunted animal (Doyle 153). This is…
