Hey,
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I have to say it's kind of difficult to tell something just using one tense. Bu I wil try.
I chose the tale named: "The Letter in Brown Ink"
SIMPLE PRESENT
There is an old man named William. He walks in his garden when suddenly, a letter falls down in front of him. This letter is written in brown ink. William does'nt know where the letter comes from. The letter says: please help me. I am a girl locked in a room in the top of the white house, but you have to climb the window. If you ask for me at the door, then she will kill me. Please release me. The old man has a bad leg and he uses a stick to walk. But he used to climb the roofs of all houses when he was eighteen years old. At that time, he met a beautiful girl named Valeria, but she has a very jealous sister named Miss Rowsley, who made Valeria marry other man and the old man married other woman. Miss Rowsley lived in that white house all her life. So, the old man waits for his son, John. John reads the letter and starts to climb to the window of the white house to release the little girl, who wrote the letter. But there are bars blocking the window. John gets something to cut the bars. He starts to cut the bars when Miss Rowsley gets in the room and starts to yell thinking the girl was going to marry John. When William hears the yells, he forgets his leg's problem and climbs the house and when Miss Rowsley tries to kill the little girl with a knife, John and his father capture Miss Rowsley. John was going to call the police but the old woman asks for excuses. The girl's name is Sophia. She is Valeria's daughter and she is exactly like his mother. When William sees her, He thinks she is Valeria. But her parents died. So, Miss Rowsley asks Sophia to live with her, but when Sophia arrives, Miss Rowsley locked her. Miss Rowsley died when she tried to escape jumping through the window. Sophia went to Italy to study and married an artist. The letter was written with Sophia's blood.

I think this is a very good tale, even when it's too short, it has a lot of emotions. The fact that the girl wrote a letter with her own blood is kind of disturbing. But in general, I think this story is really scary.

This tale was wrote by Edith Nesbit, and it is about William, an old man that walk and he find a strange letter, the author’s letter says that is locked in a room, but he must not ask for the strange person at the front door because could be murdered.
If he wants to help, he has to climb to the window over the roofs. But he isn’t a young man, so he goes and tells it to his son John. Because he remembers that a beautiful girl called Valeria and her older sister Miss Rowsley lived in this house and he was loved of Valeria but she married with another man, in addition Miss Rowsley was nasty and jealous with Valeria.
Now supposedly Miss Rowsley lives alone in her house and in this case, William and John know they must hold to the person that sends the letter.
Later night John goes and climbs at front of the window. In the darkness there is nothing of noisy, William can listen every noises that John Makes. Miss Rowsley could listen to him too.
At the window there are bars, and John starts to break these, when suddenly he looks at inside, there are two people: an old woman (Miss Rowsley) and a younger woman, the older woman holds a candle in a hand and a knife in the other, nevertheless he continuous breaking the bars. She looks angry while the young woman cries because she thinks that she could be murdered. John ends and jumps through the window and William follows him.
While John calls Police, William holds Miss Rowsley, and she tells William that she was loved of him, but he never looked at her.
In the other side, the young girl is Sophia, she tells them that her parents died two years ago and Miss Rowsley is her aunt, who kept and locked her up. William and John realize Sophia is Valeria’s daughter. Finally Miss Rowsley jumped through the window and died.
The history is strange, because the letter was wrote with brown “ink” but actually, it was wrote with the Sophia’s blood.

The Letter in Brown Ink
This story takes place in London in 1920.
I walk in my garden when I find an unusual letter, the letter is written in brown ink. The letter is of a woman who needs help, he’s in a room at the top of the house. In the letter the woman tells us that an old woman has her captured a long time ago.
I remember Valeria. Valeria has a nasty sister and she still lives in the white house and the neighbors think she is mad. When my son comes home I tell him about the letter and he think it is a joke but later we decide to rescue the woman.
When the night falls we try climbing up to white house´s roof, John, my son, climbs up to roof and I wait below. John reaches the window on the roof, and he sees something white. Later he comes back with me and tells me there are bars across the window, he goes home looking for something to cut the bars. Then, he climbs up again and he cuts the first bar, but when he works in the second bar, suddenly Miss Rowsley appears, it is very scary, in the right hand she has a candle and in the left hand she has a knife.
In that moment I climb up to the roof and I sees to my beautiful Valeria behind Miss Rowsley but Valeria is still young, she looks like eighteen. Miss Rowsley tries stabbing Valeria but John and I jump on Miss Rowsley, and we hold the old woman by the arms, and she fights like an animal but she cannot escape because John and I are stronger than her.
Valeria tells us about the nasty imprisonment and she tells us that Miss Rowsley is her aunt and that her parents die two years ago.
Miss Rowsley says she loves me and that she does all this for me, later, suddenly, she jumps through the window and she dies.
Later that horrible experience, Sophia sells her aunt’s house and goes to study to Italy. I still have the letter, written with a piece of wood from the window, and the strange ink is Sophia’s blood.
This story is very good; I love it because it has horror moments, drama moments and is a different story.

ReplyDeletethis story begins in 1865 and it is about a single man, he lives in a flat in Piccadilly London, he reads his morning newspaper, and he reads a news about a murder of a man in his own bedroom so the body dead is in his bed, in that moment the man sees the bedroom of the victim but there are not victim it is like a delusion and then it disappears quickly. It is a situation so strange to the man.
Then he looks down through window and he looks at two men, one chases the other, the first man has an evil face and the second one has a bloodless face (like a ghost), although they go on the street nobody see them. The news is in all the newspapers and everybody read the story but the man is busy in his work so he does not read the newspaper again. Finally several policies catch the murderer and that night the man sees the victim’s ghost in his bedroom, next day he goes to the trial of murderer like a jury with another eleven juries. All of them stay in a large room, and when they sleep the ghost appears again and he approaches to see all the juries. In the second night the man sees the ghost but he does not say anything, because he is the only one who can see.
Next morning all of juries talk about their dreams, the most strange is that each juror has a dream with the murdered man. On fifth day the ghost appears again in the court and when the witnesses say things like “he kills himself”, he approaches them and they automatically change the story version.
On the last day, the juries decide he is guilty and two hours later they return to courtroom and say their decision, so the ghost is happy and he goes because the court do justice and he rests in peace.
I like this story because it is short but so interesting to me, because it is about murderers, ghost, trials and I like these kinds of stories.

THE MAN WITH THE NOSE (SIMPLE PRESENT)
ReplyDeleteThe story was written by Rhoda Broughton and it has three main characters: Elizabeth, the storyteller and The Man with the Nose.
The storyteller and his wife decide where they go a honeymoon; the storyteller doesn’t want to go to the seaside, because he doesn’t like it, and Elizabeth doesn’t want to go to Lake District because she happens something terrible there; on holiday she goes there with her parents, and they go to the theatre because there is a hypnotist, and he wants to hypnotize somebody, then he chooses her.
After it, she begins to feel ill, and she doesn’t remember anything after that, she does all sorts of silly things and she is in a room with red and green curtains, for that reason she hates red and green curtains and this place.
Then, the storyteller and Elizabeth decide go to the River Rhine in Germany.
They begin their honeymoon journey, and they are in Brussels; the long evening becomes night. All Brussels is asleep, and suddenly the storyteller awakes in the darkness, he can just see his wife, and she has a look of terror on her face, and she cries wildly, then, the storyteller asks “Do you have a nightmare?” Elizabeth has seen a terrible man, and she thinks that he is hiding in the wardrobe, but the storyteller says “the door is locked”, and his wife says “he has a very large nose, and he has evil black eyes, he is like the hypnotist”. Elizabeth shakes. She says “he orders me to come to him with his eyes”, and I feel myself going towards him”, and then she screams and the storyteller wakes up.
After they sail down the Rhine, and it starts to rain and the rain becomes a storm, and Morris brings an umbrella, and finally they reach their hotel and two or three men are standing at the door, then Elizabeth screams, her facer is white for terror, she sees the man, and she falls; after about one hour she wakes, and in the morning she asks “Where is he?” and nobody knows where he is, he leaves early in the morning.
Two weeks passes and they are in Lucerne, the storyteller says that his uncle is very close to death, and he must go, because his uncle leaves him his money, but Elizabeth doesn’t want it.
After, the storyteller is in Lucerne again, and he wants to see his wife, but she is not in the hotel, and the waiter says that a gentleman comes to the hotel and she leaves with him; the storyteller asks “What does he look like, this man?”, and the waiter answers “He is very tall and dark, with a large nose and strange eyes”, the storyteller feels ice cold.
After, the storyteller asks everyone in the hotel and in the village, but nobody knows anything. On the day the storyteller leaves, the villagers see a carriage and through the windows, they see a dark gentleman with a strange nose, and a lady with her eyes closed.

There were other people in the street but nobody looked them. For a moment those men looked up to him, he saw their faces very clearly, one of them looked like a ghost.
