Satire

In a certain world, in a certain country, in a certain state, in a certain county, there is a certain town. This isn't any ordinary town however, it is an extra-ordinary town. It has an extra-ordinary system of honor. Honor in work, in relationships, and in life. They value honor so much that the mayor of the town made a honor code system which everyone abides by. The town sees it as futile, however the mayor sees it as necessary.
Recently, the mayor has began to set in barriers to prohibit unhonorable actions even further. This can be seen by the cameras on every corner of the town and in every dark alley. Installed to prohibit activity, they have merely made the town nervous.
Last night there was a murder on an unpopular street corner, so much for the cameras.

Tatyana's letter to Onegin

Tatyana uses strong diction to portray her love for Onegin. Saying this, such as, "No, no one on this earth/Is there to whome I'd give my heart!" or "You were sent by heaven of that I'm sure" both bring across this point. Tatyana's love for Onegin is questionably an obsession. However, even though it may seem obssesive, Tatyana is truly in love with Onegin. At the time, though, Onegin feels that he can't be in a relationship because he is not ready for one. He feels as if he will fail her, and tells her that she'll be fine because her heart will heal in time. The roles switch, however, when Onegin and Tatyana meet in Moscow again. Tatyana is now married to Onegin's cousin, a very wealthy prince. When Onegin sees her, he realizes what he had lost, and immediatly wants her again. He writes a letter to her, she doesn't respond. Unable to hold his love in any longer, he goes to her house and confesses his love for her. She too loves him, but must remain faithful to her husband. Onegin begs for her, but it is impossible to get her back. He has lost her forever.

THE love letter

How is your day?

I hope it's as beautiful as you, however that would be an impossibility, as you are more beautiful than the sun itself. I wish that your rays could warm my soul. I feel cold, but the thought of you warms core. You must be tired, because thoughts of you run through my head all day. I miss your loins of fertility. They are truly the most fertile in the land. I yearn to whisper to your eye; when do I get to see you again?

I have been missing you so badly lately I had to hire a local street-worker, named Helga, to satisfy my needs to distract me of the pain of you not being in my life. But it doesn't work, not even Helga, the number one street-worker in Russia, can distract my mind from the thought of you. Please don't be mad at Helga though, she is merely trying to have a steady salary to survive in this harsh economy.

But back to us, I love you. I love you more than the flower loves the sun, the bat loves the moon, the stomach loves food, the fish loves water, the caterpillar loves leaves, the bird loves worms, the earth loves dirt, the man loves money, the brain loves water. I love you so much that I need you. Be mine Tatiana.

Another Planet

Finally arriving the the renown planet Earth, the little prince was suspicious of what he'd discover. The first thing he noticed was he was not greeted by anyone, as if he was an object; he thought to himself, "the place is depressing. Anyways, he continued on his journey, and eventually stumbled across a city.

Walking into a store, someboydy finally had addressed him saying, "Hi, is there anything I can help you with?"

He was tall, probably 25 years old, had a scruffily beard and a red vest on saying, "Sam McGee."

The prince responded, "Hi, it's good to hear a voice."

Confused, but not wanted to sound hostile and wanted to leave the scene of awkwardness as soon as possible, the man said, "Okay then, well if there is anything I can do for you sir just let me know." Then he walked away rapidly, tripping over his on feet.

The prince thought to himself, "What a strange planet."

Third person limited:
He was sweating prefusly. Nervous, as if this was his first public speaking assignment. But, he still had to do it, he couldn't run away now, he was already on stage, center-fold

Third person omniscient:
He needed the grade. He didn't want to stand up there, and the fact that he could barely stand didn't help the matter, but it needed to be done. He shakily set his papers down on the podium and crackled the first words out of his speech.
