Six 6-Word Stories

She stands alone, ready to jump

The past is now repeating itself

"We tried, but we have failed"

"When will they stop?" she wailed

They found a single note. "Goodbye."

"She didn't make it. I'm sorry."

John Proctor: Hero or Stooge

Even though John Proctor commit adultery, he is still an honest, straight-forward guy with a huge mistake. He did commit adultery but that was all that he did and when Abigail was lying and telling everyone that people were bewitching her, he didn't like it and he was willing to make public his affair even though that would cost him his reputation. I think he is a hero for not caring about his reputation and good name. All he wants is for people to know the truth. That all those people were not witches and that Abigail and the girls were just making everything up because they didn't want to have to suffer the consequences. I think John Proctor knew what a bad and jealous person Abigail was and he didn't want to see her get away with all the lying that she was doing so he decided to tell people about the affair even if his reputation and life was on the line and that what makes a hero to me.

There Goes The Neighborhood

It was a normal day of hunting and gathering for us. We were just about to settle down and go to sleep when we had heard news of new people coming in from the sea on boat. We didn't want to go at first because we were a little skeptical of these new people and their intentions.
 We decided to go to the ocean shore and there we these people that were coming off of these big boats. They looked much different from us. They had much more clothes on and had all these cool things. I didn't really trust them. They seemed quite strange but everyone else thought that they were a gift from God and people were giving them weapons so I decided to go along with it. I thought they were trading for some of the odd things that the foreigners had but they weren't giving us much useful thing but for some reason, everyone was still being friendly with the new people. they seemed to be nice for the most part.
I started to trust them more until one day, They decided to tear up our property and ruin our homes. They tore apart families and some people never saw there children again. They were taking our property and ruining nature. They were ruining everything. I new there were strange. I just didn't think they could do such damage after us being so nice and inviting to them. I should have warned everyone. Now I have to await my fate.

Me

Hello! My name is Morgan Marie Forney and I am a sophomore in Mr. McCarthy's first period English class. I am fifteen years old and my birthday is August 9, 1999. I was born in Douglasville, Georgia which is and Atlanta suburb. I moved to Illinois when I was two because my parents got divorced. I moved Justice, Illinois which is a Chicago suburb and I moved to Chicago at the end of my eighth grade year. I live with my mom, and my twin sister Meagan. I attended Wilkins Elementary and Junior High School from K-8 and now I attend Whitney Young High School. I have five sisters. Briana (23), Mikol (19), Meagan (15), Mady (7), and Mykenzie (3).
Some things that I am interested in and love doing are dancing, reading, and I love to learn about serial killers. I've only been dancing for a year now with having dance class and being on the Poms team but its literally been non stop because I've also been dancing over the summer and I've always loved dancing since I was little. I love reading and i can literally read for hours without stopping but I am a very picky person with just about anything and only certain books with grab my attention more than others. My fascination with serial killers started in about sixth or seventh grade when i saw a documentary on Charles Manson. My aunt also has the same fascination as me and she let me borrow some books on Charles Manson and Ted Bundy. I've many documentaries since then and have read many articles and books.
I used to play trumpet and baritone, I ran track, and i used to do gymnastics. All of which i quit.
I am really shy and don't like to meet new people. I'm not a people person at all but when you get to know me, I can be fun and I'm usually the confused, weird one in the group that never knows what going on. I have a serious problem with getting distracted all the time. even when I'm in class, I'll just go into my own little world or look at all the posters in the classroom. I'm really antsy. I'm also very self-conscious. I get really nervous when people look at me weird or by what I might be wearing and I never think anyone will like me really when I first meet people. I'm pretty lazy but I'm working on it.
