The Boy Who Cried “Zombie”

There once was a little boy who at the time was living through the zombie apocalypse in San Diego, California. He was always alone for no one to play with and was sitting at the top of his dads truck bored out of his mind. To entertain himself he screamed “Help,help a zombie, I see a zombie.”
 All of the people scurried  out of their cars and headed towards the boy but, when they arrived they grew big with fury for they found the boy laughing hysterically at them. They told the boy “Why would you trick us like that, we thought that you have gone into pandemonium.” Then they returned to their vehicle in a furious matter.

A couple of hours later the boy hid and decided to cry for help again “Help, help, the zombies are coming closer.” 
The people dashed out of their cars and scattered all over the perimeter to try to find the boy but, they couldn’t find him anywhere. In a very cautious matter the boy came up from under one of the cars and laughed in a uncontrollable matter at them. The people where even more furious at the little boy and started to scream at him “Why are you doing this do you not know how serious that is!” The boy in a very rebellious matter ignored them.

A while later they decided to trick the little boy, they all dressed as zombies and decided to circle the little kid to teach him a lesson. Later on that day they took action. The little boy leaped onto his feet and yelled out in fear, “Help, help, zombies!” But no one came out. The boy grew with sadness as he watched the “zombies” get closer. When they saw that the little boy was crying they explained to the boy and said “Lying will not get you anywhere in life.”

Response to The Pearl

The Pearl 

 by: John Steinbeck

       In The Pearl by John Steinbeck the lesson of the parable is that in good times and bad times you should never change your attitude towards family. In the parable Kino and Juana where living a happy but poor life. Coyotito is their first born baby which gets stung by a scorpion and gets very sick. They take him to the doctor in which the doctor rejects them since they are unable to pay and is from a different colored race. In the desperate look for pearls near the Gulf of Mexico Kino finds a beautiful peal which is about the same size of a seagulls eye.
     They return with the doctor and the doctor decides to help them with the money knowing that Kino found a pearl. After the baby is healed the doctor asked how he was going to pay knowing that Kino had a pearl. Kino responded "I found a pearl". They come to a agreement and decide to pay the doctor after the pearl is sold. Juana is convinced that the pearl is evil and is telling Kino but he is just ignorant. Many townspeople become greedy and desire the pearl for themselves and will do anything for it. Kino becomes extremely greedy and evil and during an encounter with a man who attacks him and kills him. Juana as the neck of the family decides one night to throw it but, gets caught by Kino and is beaten. After the murder they make plans to fleed the town but, later discover that their canoe has a big hole in it. The next day they decided to go on foot to the North and find out that they are being followed. The head up to the mountains and hide in a small cave. The trackers hear what sounds like a small wolf cry and shoot at the direction. Coyotito gets wounded by a bullet in the head and dies. They decide to throw the pearl back and go back to the town. In the parable there is a lot of human nature that is potrayed like selfishness for Kino, the townspeople, and the priest. Thomas's family potray the human nature of hospitality and help Kino and Juana hide and Juana is loyal for Kino and forgives him for all that he caused. Since Kino changed he didn't stay who he was he became extremely mad, obsessed, and uncaring for his family.
