This site is a canvas for creativity and new ideas; to showcase some of my classroom assignments and maybe earn some feedback. It's all original material and, my hope is, to keep it as engaging as possible. It is an outlet, a place to vent, and manage my catharsis - Basically an open frontier, a playground and fantasy realm for an aging addicted mind.
A week
after the meeting with Jessica, Angela Krantz begins thinking about her father
and goes into the attic of her home to find an old box she had kept of his
belongings. His death was hard for her to deal with after losing her mother only
years earlier. She finds the box hidden in its dark, dusty corner, opens it, and
begins looking through the things left behind by the man who raised her. She finds
some familiar trinkets that he had given her as a child and the handwritten cards
of hers he had saved over the years. But there is one that she doesn’t
recognize. The paper looks much older than the others and it is folded
strangely. Angela opens it and sees a child’s crude drawing of stick people,
surrounded by cows, chickens, and a barn. “Obviously this a farm, she thinks to
herself. The stick figures resemble a father, mother, and little girl holding
hands and, at first, Angela thinks it might be one of hers she had drawn when
she was younger, but as she looks at the opened drawing, she sees the unmistakable
writing of another child that says, “I love you DADDY” and scrawled in the
bottom corner of the paper is the name RACHEL.
