Fiction broadly refers to any narrative that is derived from the imagination—in other
words, not based strictly on history or fact.[1][2][3] It can also refer, more narrowly, to
narratives written only in prose (the novel and short story), and is often used as a
synonym for the novel.
Short Story
A short story is a piece of prose fiction that typically can be read in one sitting and focuses on a
self-contained incident or series of linked incidents, with the intent of evoking a "single effect" or
mood, however there are many exceptions to this.
A Respectable Woman
by Kate Chopin
I made my way to Mercer and Fifth. The four-story building was also the personal residences of the on-
planet Vreesek, while overhead a dozen spaceships monitored the planet.
SPD had yellow tape around the body. A male child. Dead, definitely. From a fall, likely. He was a small
thing, his yellowish scales already fading to gray, a thick, teal fluid pooling on the wet sidewalk. His scaly
hands clutched something metal, silvery. I bent down. A toy, maybe—an alien baby inside a halfshell.
A Vreesek guard motioned, then buzzed. The iVress would see you. Our Elder for the Pacific Northwest
was a mystery, his infrequent words obeyed in sullen terror.
I’d never been called in before.
The iVress was more impressive, scary even, than in the vids. Yellow and ochre scales bristling, over six
feet tall, wearing a glittering chain from which dangled the icon of an innocent face. And nothing else. No
modesty among the Vreesek.
His guards were silent, deferential.
Even through the electronic connection of the earbud, the iVress roared: a mother lost her child. she
accuses me of the disposition. find the truth. return the shokrah. restore the peace. remember your whidbey
island.
Whidbey Island was vaporized four years ago after a May Day protest, really just a crowd refusing to
disperse from Westlake Mall. We felt that harsh, distant light, and the long boom that followed shattered
many windows.
The female Vreesek was brought in, her scales sleek, loose, shimmering in scarlet and orange. She shook
before iVress, then looked at me with eyes that said nothing of her soul. The iVress and his guards left me,
and I was alone with her.
A buzz. My child. My most precious thing, stolen from me.
How? Who saw this?
She waited. Then He was on the balcony. The iVress wanted him gone.
I snapped back. The Elder pushed him?
The child was disobedient. He stole the shokrah. She did not buzz again.
I walked out to the balcony. There were two smudges on the wide railing and some dropped gray scales.
The Vreesek was gone when I came back inside, and a guard took me to the elevator.
Once outside, I peered up into the drizzle, searching.
Would a child be so foolish?
Could a mother be so calm?
Off work, I walked to my condo that faced Pike Place. Marcus worked remotely to watch our deaf son,
Brien, four, who bounced on the sofa, laughing. I signed Careful, my love. I smelled garlic and oregano.
“Hey. I’m home.”
Marcus came out, wiping his apron, and pecked me on the cheek. “He learned ten new signs today, so he
got treats. Chocolate!”
Brien signed Chocolate, mommy!
I scowled. “It’s so expensive…” International foods were slowly returning. Coffee. Chocolate. Even tea.
I was sick of chicory.
Marcus laughed. “Life is to be enjoyed.” He remained calm through the invasion and occupation, and still
found celebrations along the way. I found humanity’s dregs. We both were living in our elements.
After dinner I got Brien cleaned up, watched his prayers, and put him to bed with his snugglebear. In the
dim light, he looked like an angel.
I can’t imagine….
The next morning, I talked with the coroner. He’d cleaned up the Vreesek, and handed over the toy to
return. The face of an alien child looked up at me.
I went back to the embassy-temple, then out to the balcony again. The two smudges and the scales were
cleaned up. I peered over the railing.
He was face-up.
I summoned a guard. Who uses this room when the iVress is absent?
The guard stared straight ahead. He blinked. No one but the family of the iVress.
And the child? Was he also the son of the iVress?
All who share the shokrah are his children. The guard fingered his own silvery icon, a rounded hollow cube
with a small child within. This Child commands us to rule the galaxy.
I blinked, but not to communicate. Then, I blinked again. Bring me the mother.
The sun broke through low clouds at sunset, painting the wet streets with reds and golds. I watched from
the condo window, my hand upon Brien’s hair. He looked up, then returned to his silent game.
I whispered to Marcus, “Perhaps this is enough—that we live.”
“It is enough.”
Non-Fiction
Non-fiction or nonfiction is content (sometimes, in the form of a story) whose creator, in good faith, assumes
responsibility for the truth or accuracy of the events, people, or information presented.[1] In contrast, a story whose creator
explicitly leaves open if and how the work refers to reality is usually classified as fiction.[1][2] Nonfiction, which may be
presented either objectively or subjectively, is traditionally one of the two main divisions of narratives (and,
specifically, prose writing),[3] the other traditional division being fiction, which contrasts with nonfiction by dealing in
information, events, and characters expected to be partly or largely imaginary.
ESSAY
An essay is, generally, a piece of writing that gives the author's own argument — but the definition is
vague, overlapping with those of a paper, an article, a pamphlet, and a short story. Essays have
traditionally been sub-classified as formal and informal. Formal essays are characterized by "serious
purpose, dignity, logical organization, length," whereas the informal essay is characterized by "the
personal element (self-revelation, individual tastes and experiences, confidential manner), humor,
graceful style, rambling structure, unconventionality or novelty of theme," etc.
ESSAY ON LOVE
What is the one emotion that has everyone mystified? What is the one emotion that has started as many wars as it
has ended? What emotion has had more plays, songs, and stories written about it than anything else? Love, that one
emotion that makes enemies into friends and friends into enemies. So many legends surround this emotion, from the
goddess Athena and Helen of Troy to Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.
Love comes in so many different levels, that it doesn't appear to be the same emotion at all, but it is. There is so
much to love, that it will be hard to put into this simple essay. It can tear people apart and make us do irrational things
to bringing together entire nations. What can this emotion not do? It's hard to tell, but there is a lot it can.
This emotion, bring tears to our eyes when something happens to our family members, friends, and pets. When we
feel love ripped from us, as in death or being spurned by another, we do things we wouldn't normally do, such as go
on violent rampages, or mourn to the extent that our loved ones have to watch us constantly to make sure we don't
try anything like suicide. Some can move on, always remembering the lost loved one after a while, but others can not
let go. These are the ones that need our love and support the most.
There are so many levels to love, that I can only express a few of them here. These are the ones we see most in life.
Friendship starts this list off. Yes, it doesn't seem like it, but we do feel love towards our friends, this is what helps us
get along so well, and why we miss them when we don't see our friends for a long time. It's also why we hold certain
friends over others no matter what happens. Sometimes, the bond between friends deepens to the point where a
stronger bond of love is made, making them family.
Another level of love, are for our siblings and other family members. Even though we do things to our family
members, and sometimes we don't like some of our family, that bond is still there. It's this family bond level of love
that brought about the phrase, blood is thicker than water. We will do things for our brothers, sisters, mothers,
fathers, and children before we would even consider doing them for anyone else. Many wars have been started
because of this family level, brother avenging brother or father, father protecting his wife and children, or even vice
versa. This simple family bond can even extend to include our pets, amazingly enough, and that is a good thing.
A third level to love, is the bond that brings man and woman together. This level is among the strongest of them all. It
is this level of love that has brought together kingdoms into nations in the past, and ended many great wars. It's is
also for the love of a woman that has started a few of our well-known wars, like the Trojan Wars of ancient times. It's
brought together families that have argued for years and years, such as in the Shakespearean play, Romeo and
Juliet. Even though the two mentioned killed themselves in the end, it still brought their families together.
The last mentionable level of love is that bond between a mother and her children. There is no stronger, nor will there
ever be. This bond starts from the very first tiny fluttering of movement and never ends, even after death of the child.
A mother protects her children in the name of love, and directs them through life using it as the example to follow.
Well, at least it should be. It's because of her children a mother will work at a job she hates, just to make sure they
have everything they could ever want or need.
The phrase, love makes the world go round is very true. It's is our driving force, for what ever reason it may be.
Poems, plays, and legends can only briefly touch the true meaning of love. We can only feel what that meaning is,
and express it in ways only we can understand towards another. The true question we should be asking is not, what
is life, but what is love.
What is love? I don't know, but I'll do what I can to express it to my son, my husband, my family and friends, and to
every single pet I have or ever will own in the best possible way that I can.
Speech is human vocal communication using language. Each language uses phonetic combinations
of a limited set of perfectly articulated and individualized vowel and consonant sounds that form the
sound of its words (that is, all English words sound different from all French words, even if they are
the same word, e.g., "role" or "hotel"), and using those words in their semantic character as words in
the lexicon of a language according to the syntactic constraints that govern lexical words' function in
a sentence.

Teachers have always been special and will continue to do so in all times to come.

A biography, or simply bio, is a detailed description of a person's life. It
involves more than just the basic facts like education, work, relationships,
and death; it portrays a person's experience of these life events. Unlike a
profile or curriculum vitae (résumé), a biography presents a subject's life
story, highlighting various aspects of his or her life, including intimate
details of experience, and may include an analysis of the subject's
personality.
