Knowing that Mrs. Mallard was afflicted with a heart trouble, great care was taken to break to her gently as possible the news of her husband’s  death.

My version related to Andy Block--Uber Driver narrative

Knowing that his mortgage was past due, Andy was careful to sift through the letters from the mail to try and find as hopefully he might some unexpected fortune among the mounting bills. Perhaps news of a deceased relative’s unexpected decision to will him a substantial amount of money was yet waiting for him.

The Year was 2081, and everybody was finally equal. They weren't only equal before God and the law. They were equal every which way.

My Version- Rose Brookings
Social Media affecting Relationships

The year was 2018, and another model of the iPhone just came out. To be honest, Rose was getting tired of her job at Cells, Inc. All she did was answer phones all day long, but her boss did mention promoting her to Sales Assistant. In the end, she made her mind up to accept the position. How bad could it be?]]> 2018-09-14 13:23:54 UTC https://padlet.com/dyoungblood55/pd2narrativeopeningimitation/wish/281289910 Samantha McConnell https://padlet.com/dyoungblood55/pd2narrativeopeningimitation/wish/281290497 Ernest Hemingway
It was late and everyone had left the cafe except an old man who sat in the shadow the leaves of the tree made against the electric light. In the daytime the street was dusty; but at night the dew settled the dust and the old man liked to sit late because he was deaf and now at night it was quiet and he felt the difference.

My Version Emerald Harvey- (money effecting marriages)
It was late and everyone was asleep except a young girl who gazed out her window at the starry night sky. In the daytime, her father and sister plastered fake smiles on their face; but at night she listened to Simian, her sister, whimper as tears rolled down her sorrowful face and the endless tossing of her father through the thin walls.

The year was 2081, and everybody was finally equal. They weren't only equal before God and the law. They were equal every which way.

My Version
The year was 2025, and nobody was ever equal. They were equal before God and the law, but different in their ways of greed and what they have chosen to become. Charlotte knew, she was one of the only ones that understood, for she did not care. Her family had little but she was happy. Charlotte did not care that others were becoming self destructive with the craving of material, useless objects.]]> 2018-09-14 13:32:34 UTC https://padlet.com/dyoungblood55/pd2narrativeopeningimitation/wish/281294912 Julia Giannotti https://padlet.com/dyoungblood55/pd2narrativeopeningimitation/wish/281294943 Franz Kafka
"One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin. He lay on his armour-like back, and if he lifted his head a little he could see his brown belly, slightly domed and divided by arches into stiff sections. The bedding was hardly able to cover it and seemed ready to slide off any moment. His many legs, pitifully thin compared with the size of the rest of him, waved about helplessly as he looked."

My version
One morning, as Alice woke up, she found her husband dead in the bed, He laid their like a petrified statue, his skin cold to the touch, and his arms restless by his sides.

The year was 2081, and everybody was finally equal. They weren’t only equal before God and law. They were equal in every which way.

My version
The year was 2018, and everybody was at a battle of the politics. They were not only fighting about God and the law. They were fighting in every which way.

The year was 2018, and everybody was finally equal. They weren't only equal before God and the Law. They were equal every which way. 
My Version
The year was 2018, and everyone was finally economically equal. They weren't only equal in wages and resources. They were equally deprived and the poverty could be seen every which way. ]]> 2018-09-14 13:38:14 UTC https://padlet.com/dyoungblood55/pd2narrativeopeningimitation/wish/281298354 Skyler Hartman https://padlet.com/dyoungblood55/pd2narrativeopeningimitation/wish/281830386 Ray Bradbury
The year was 2081, and everybody was finally equal. They weren't only equal before God and the law. They were equal every which way.
My Version
What is equality? Being 2018, everyone is discriminated by  race, ethnicity, age, and gender. No one really even knows what "#ALLLIVESMATTER" really means. We have wars against each other because our leaders do not know how to get along with one another. Maybe if we go through our heads that we aren't the only ones on this planet, then maybe, just maybe, peace could be possible in some kind of way.  ]]> 2018-09-16 02:22:37 UTC https://padlet.com/dyoungblood55/pd2narrativeopeningimitation/wish/281830386 Ali Waqif https://padlet.com/dyoungblood55/pd2narrativeopeningimitation/wish/282008358 Kate Chopin
Knowing that Mrs. Mallard was afflicted with a heart trouble, great care was taken to break to her as gently as possible the news of her husband's death.
My version(Issue of Abortion)
Knowing that her boyfriend Jack was asleep in their apartment, Brittney took great care into unlocking the front door and entering quietly. In her hands was a delicious looking white frosted cake. On it were the words "Happy Birthday Jack!" She was hopping with excitement as she went into their bedroom. But what she didn't know was that in a couple of seconds, her and Jack's perfect world was about to come crashing down.

My version
Knowing that Jasper Snow has another assignment that is past due, the third assignment that month, he struggled to care about the new things happening in his life. It didn't matter what the subject ; school, family, friends, but he his mind had filled feelings of isolation and emptiness. He just wanted things to be how they were before.

The year was 2081, and everybody was finally equal. They weren't only equal before God and the law. They were equal every which way. 
My Version 
The year was 2018, and people were anything but equal. The crack down on illegal immigration has hit a peak, families are  being separated and communities falling apart. Christian sanchez wasn't a criminal, yet he was being treated by one, he was being treated like an animal. ]]> 2018-09-18 00:22:59 UTC https://padlet.com/dyoungblood55/pd2narrativeopeningimitation/wish/282646656
