Ashley MitchellProfessor PerniciaroLIT 20003 February 2014 abstract of H. Briscoes The ScreamIn H. Briscoes The Scream, a woman and her dickens daughters, Anna and Mary, be on vacation in the country of Spain. The story seems to stick place fairly recently in this day and age. Throughout the posting, we are taken on a journey, sometimes through Annas eyes, some other times through the perspective of Marys and the mothers, through an entertainment pose on a blistering, sweaty day. But there is a pervert at the cobblers last, and Mary is to blame. The Scream opens with the narrator providing a detailed account of the horrifically hot day in Spain, describing the heat as theoretical missiles and rippling waves (1). Anna, the eldest sister, adds to the horrific heat by mentioning that everything in the theme park was manufactured - with angular, flat surfaces, and shiny polished metal, which only added to the harshness of the fair weather (1). Additionally, the three, in an att empt to escape the overbearing heat and crowds, would risk forcing their ways in front of others in the drink line as well as the lines of shows that were labeled as unmissable in their eyes (1). Subsequently, the story kicks off with the mother proclaiming both Anna and Mary to carry a travelling bag Anna the heartbeat heaviest bag containing sunscreen and the camera, and Mary the smallest one, also referred to as a miniskirt rucksack, which housed the money, keys, and other important items. Additionally, their mother carried a large food bag which is described as being filled to the brim. The three were seated on a bench next to a manmade lake when the mother began to walk away, resulting in Mary taking the mothers hand, and leaving Anna with no choice but to preserve them to the ma... ...k down to see the rucksack slung over her sisters shoulder. Anna stood in disbelief as Mary, wide-eyed and innocent looking, apologized for changing her mind to the highest degree going on the rollercoaster, saying It was just too scary aft(prenominal) all (11). Anna could no longer take the scorching heat and her sisters smile face, and fell to the ground in a crashing fall. While the story earlier focuses on the scenery and climate of the theme park, the focus shifts to that of the rollercoaster The Scream sort of quickly, as well as the manipulation that comes from Mary, and the mother, towards Anna. The twist at the end is relatively unexpected and pieces together the manipulations that Mary has been planning to use on Anna throughout the story. Work CitedBriscoe, H.
