The sun investigated the extraordinary past, painting the sky in colors of pink and gold as the honest local area of Willow Stream mixed to life. It was Easter Sunday, a day of celebration and reclamation, and the people from St. Mary's Gathering clamored with assumption. Among them was Emily, a young woman with a heart overflowing with certainty and a spirit restless to embrace the responsibility of restoration.

Introduction: In a land far away, nestled between towering mountains and vast plains, lay a mystical forest known as the Whispering Woods. This sentient forest was said to possess ancient magic and hold secrets whispered only to those who dared to venture within its depths. Legends spoke of enchanted creatures, ethereal beings, and hidden treasures concealed within the heart of the forest. It was a place where reality and imagination intertwined, and where dreams had the power to come alive.

I once knew an adorable little red-headed girl. She lived in a fairy-tale world. She was the baby of the bunch. Everybody loved her gentle and quiet spirit. She also made everyone laugh with the silly monkeyfaces she would make. She was the happiest child in the universe. Her giggles sounded like melodious angel music.
Shirley BelkPublished 2 months ago in FictionThe Pearl by John Steinbeck
‘The Pearl’ is a well-known by under-read classic and, as a teacher, many of my students have absolutely loved it. Not just because it is short, but because it presents a storyline that is interesting and corrupting. Easy to read and easier to analyse, ‘The Pearl’ is one of Steinbeck’s hardest hitting classics with an underlying message about protecting what is actually important. By the end of the book, the reader is left defeated and believing in the wrong thing. The idealism around this book is incredible and it is so dark too. For a long while you are supporting the wrong people, thinking in the wrong way and the whole story becomes one long act of misdirection by Steinbeck to show in a ‘Monkey’s Paw’ fashion why we should never chase wealth and status.
