Saved By The Sis

David froze, checking his pockets. Where was the money?

 David spent his entire four years of high school working afterschool everyday for that money. “Honey, time to eat”, hollered his mom.”
“ Yeah just a second, I have to finish reading this page”, which was a complete lie. “Okay, well hurry up, we got to make it to the bank before it closes.”  David scurried frantically around his room, tearing apart folders, opening and closing drawers.  “David, David? Are you finished yet?” called his dad. “Just about, replied David”. David walked briskly along the staircase, his hands shaking, his legs trembling and mouth quivering. “ “David what happened?”, whispered the sister. “I can’t find the money, last time I checked the envelope was in my pocket ready to be deposited”. “David why didn’t you just ask, you left the envelope in the living room, I picked up and put it on your desk”, reassuringly said  Molly. “Oh well you could of told me, but thanks anyways sis, I owe you one.” David never felt so relieved in his entire life before.

Harrison Bergeron- Retelling

          After reading the Harrison Bergeron  piece, I found the symbolism to be ironic. Beginning with, it was an unrealistic life  and not  the world  that anyone could ever imagine living in. The government controls everybody's  advantages by weighing them down with weights or  forcing handicaps upon them.   Harrison is the first one to realize that the government is wrong and not everybody can be equal. He was in prison for  using his abilities to his advantages,  he died because he fought for what he believed.Therefore the story also  indicates  to real life, those who don't obey the government suffer or receive punishment.
