Mandy asks…
question to answer. Your opinion.?
Picture this: Alongside a somewhat busy County/country road there lies a lone high-heeled shoe. (black velvet, silver trim, peek-a-boo toe) Sitting upright and parallel to the road. It's located about 25 feet from the road in a grassy area where local hunters park their vehicles seasonally. However, there is not a current open hunting season during the appearance of said mystery shoe. Said shoe is seen in different positions over a course of a few weeks; but even after it had been knocked down and lying flat, it's seen to be standing upright again, parallel to the road so you can see the entire shoe. Keep in mind that although there are no homes near said grass area, this is not a secluded area where couples are likely to sneak off to and 'get busy'. In your opinion, why/how is that lone shoe there?
Our pick of the answers:
A group of 5 recently graduated students is taking a road trip. They've been planning this for several months now, and decided they would leave 3 days after the last day of school. Eager to go out and explore the world, one of the students borrow his uncle's kombi van. Whilst on the road, a few kilometres down (in the town) from the said area where, a high heel shoe was found lying by the side of the road. The origin of this shoe comes from a couple, who were walking along the street at the time. The couple was underage, and had been drinking. A policecar came up to the couple and asked if they were intoxicated. In the frenzy of being caught and being sent to boarding school by her overly christian parents, she ran off, kicking off her shoes in the process. The shoe then laid there, whilst the group of teenagers walked along the main street of the town, they found this shoe, and decided to take it with them. That night, they stayed in the kombi van in the town. Whilst delibirating over the origin of the shoe, one of the students wanted to hold it, but the other, arrogant at least, decided they did not want to share their find with any of the others. After constant attempts to snatch the shoe, the student with the shoe started running out, and was being chased by the other lot. They were running for about 1km when they came accross a hitchiker walking along the street. The hitchiker in his nievety, tackled down this particular student, believeing they had stolen something of the rest of the group. The said student then hit his head on the gravel of the road and became unconscious. The shoe was then left at that place, whilst the group (including the hitchiker) went to hospital. As the group soon foumd out, the hitchiker had quite a few unorthodox ideals. The group sat by the bed side of the person for a few days, until he got well enough to talk and eat properly again. In the mean time, the hitchiker had gone back to the street to get a lift. Whilst on that same street, he saw the shoe again, and decided to keep it, as everyone else had forgotten about it. However, hitchiking whilst holding a shoe was not a very good idea, as people thought of him as a bit crazy. The police had received calls about this crazy man walking along the streets and thus arrested him for "public disturbance". Again, the shoe was dropped on the ground. A couple of days later, the couple which had originally owned the shoe were walking along that very same street. Though her parents found out about it, she decided to run away and life with her boyfriend. She had a new sense of rebellion about her and wanted to take it to the most extreme. Whilst on this street, she found her shoe, which she had cleasrly remember that she kicked off (as it was one of her favourite pairs). In fact, she picked it up and took it with her. In an act of rebellion, she went into the farm which was next to them, and decided to try and steal the tractor. This was the idea of the boyfriend who thought it could be some fun. She went in there, placed the shoe on the floor and rode it straight out, crashing into a stack of hay. She quickly ran off with her boyfriend, hoping to seclude what she had just done. At that time, the farmer had heard the loud crash outside and went to have a look at what happened. He found the shoe, and assumed that a girl/woman must have been there. The next day, whilst in town, he asked around to see if there were any new people in the town who may have caused disruption. Of course, all the townspeople knew about the grad students who had recently come into the town. They also told him about what had happened and that they were in hospital. He discovered them and went up to one of the girls of the group and started accusing them of trying to steal his tractor. They said that was not true, of course, but they recognised the shoe and told him that they had found it on the side of the road several days earlier. The farmer gave up, and decided to let them have the shoe again. The hitchiker, who had been detained, was now released on bail by a relative that lived a couple of towns away. His relative however, was in the same hospital as the students, and was getting ready for heart surgery. Unfortunately, there were complications during the surgery, and he decided to say goodbye to his relative, whilst also catching up with the students. Whilst telling them what had happened, he noticed the shoe. He thought about how it was the shoe that had made him go to jail, and possibly made the last thought in his relative's mind negative towards him. He asked to take the shoe, which the others obliged (as it merely reminded them that their friend had become unconscious). He walked up to the place where he was hitchiking at the start, and decided to stand it up there, as a memory for what had happened in the past few days. On numerous occassions, passerby's picked up the shoe to wonder how it was standing upright, and on each of those occassions, put it back in the exact same spot. The students then went further on their trip, crashing the kombi on 2 occassions which resulted in them having to go back by plane. The hitchiker hitchiked up to the next major city, where he found a lovely wife and had 3 kids. The couple had decided to run away to Canada where they started their own bakery franchise and the farmer had a large crop that year, before succumbing to a long term heart condition.
Susan asks…
Is this poem good? I need an opinion?
Can someone give me their opinion on this poem. If there are any errors or suggestions please let me know. I would really appreciate it. Here is the topic:DESCRIBE A PERFECT DAY-NOT THE ONE YOU'D HAVE IF YOU WERE RICH AND FAMOUS, BUT THE ONE YOU COULD HAVE THIS SATURDAY OR TUESDAY. WHAT DAY OF THE WEEK WOULD YOUR PERFECT DAY FALL ON? WHAT WOULD YOU DO SEE, EAT, READ, WATCH? Here is the poem: My perfect day would fall on a Saturday I would spend it with my best friends It is the perfect time for me to play So that the fun never ends I would visit the amusement park And eat the largest hot dog to ever exist With onions, ketchup, chili, relish, and mustard It's a snack no one can resist I would see my favorite celebrities And spend time with them at the mall They would give me their phone numbers afterwards So that I can later give them a call I would be reading a book about romance or fantasy Anything grabs my attention It could be about vampires, dragons, wolves, or fairies With some comedy, mystery, or even suspension I would watch my favorite shows on television Such as Full House and America's Funnies Home Videos By laying in the couch with a large bowl of ice cream Of vanilla and chocolate with large chunks of Oreos I wouldn't have to do any homework And I would visit the movie theatre at night I will be traveling in a long, black limo And wear the highest heels that fit just right My perfect day would be the greatest day ever But when it is time to go home and sleep I will have my favorite band playing for me by my side Instead of me just counting sheep It is homework.
Our pick of the answers:
I would say this poem isn't that great. It needs to make the reader feel something. With this, it just feels like a student wrote it to get their homework done and handed in. Edit: No matter if it IS homework... A good poem would not sound like it is.
