A journey to the central library

Last Monday when we were waiting for our class ,our lecturer came and told us with such an appalling voice that today class is so important and everyone should be present.we were frightened enough because of asking the questions from the vocabularies and this news horrified us more.so there we were waiting and shaking for our vague future until he came and told us that we're going to visit the central library!!!.I became so ecstatic. But since there's always something to ruin my happiness ,I was informed that we should walk to get there.We followed him like little kids which reminded me of how we used to play HooHooChiChi!Finally there we got. At first I was surprised to see the size of the building and the great location it had.i cursed my laziness and the stairs that didn't allow me to come here sooner.As we entered ,the first thing that got my attention was the man  reading some newspaper. And I wondered how active a person can be to go up all these stairs for just reading some newspaper. The benign staff interrupted my thinking by stating the rules which one was staying silent,the one I'm not capable of.!!First she took us to the main section in which there were thousands  of different books.The Latin section got my attention first.I was full of joy to see that I was in the middle of my dream about having so many English books that wouldn't be finished until the last day of my life but  again my happiness didn't last long until I realized I don't own all these books and I must pass all those stairs to reach here.meanwhile Our leader called us to follow her to another floor which  we couldn't borrow books and we could just look at them and regret about not having them!Next section was about PHD's articles which of course couldn't be handy for some English termaks!Another nice staff talked a bit which unfortunately I didn't understand a word of it because I was thinking whether they have people magazin or not.The only thing I got was that we can't borrow anything from this part and we can only have access to it through the computers.The last part was the one I had been waiting from the first moment we got there.The kids' section which it's door was closed  fortunately and we had to go from a shortcut which the shortcut had what I want "water" of course it was for the professors but I don't see any problem with a student drinking water from that  of a professor's.I couldn't control myself there.All I wanted to do was shouting which of course I held myself to not to do so and just headed to the workbooks that some cuties painted them .it was hillarious to see their works and how incorrectly they wrote some bad words about  other kids.meanwhile I looked at  my male classmates, empty of emotions and I wondered how apathetic men can be in these situations.Anyway,our leader told us to finish our fantasizing and go back to the main section and borrow any book. So I headed to a computer and searched for a book.Finally I found the book and wrote its information on my Palm then I showed it to someone and he laughed about where I wrote it which I didn't find it funny at all.so I asked my friend and that kind girl searched a lot to find the book and after so much great efforts i finally borrowed the book then I went to pick up my bag and I got pressed in the door,thanks to one of the staffs.Our visit finished and my happiness about having that book was ruined again  when our professor informed us that we must write an essay about our visit.

A few words

Paraphrase:

Wallace is composing a letter to Maeve in which he states that everything is excellent there but he still wants to return to the small city, Samson because he assumes that the small city may bring him good fortune.

Flapjack interrupts Wallace and reminds him that it's what he wanted, then he throws the black full gun which has short barrels and has been used frequently on the coffee table. Wallace moves the gun slowly and picks up the letter which was beneath it and puts the letter in his pocket. Afterwards he lies in a couch and begins smoking a cigarette.

Flapjack asks Wallace not to change his mind about what he said. Then he sits in a chair near him with a cigarette but without using it and just tapping it on his knee. Flapjack has always been such emotional and with full of excitment.Wallace bends over the table, while he's carful with his lame leg and grinds his cigarette in a blue saucer.

Wallace tells flapjack that he didn't mention that he doesn't want to do what he was supposed to with a quiet and smooth ton. He intentionally didn't  look at Wallace 's face whom has so much excitement about this job that makes Wallace uneasy.

Wallace leaves for the kitchen while flapjack is explaining that he thought he wanted to back out.

Wallace calmly says that he would see him at eleven-thirty with a death-like voice.as flapjack hears him, he gets up and leaves there.

Wallace comes back to the living room as he sees that flapjack is gone. He gazes the black dirty gun. He's wondering about his stage in life. He feels bad about everything he has lost in his life. His left was hurt in the war, his Maeve left him and the point that he was an orphan black made him feel bad. And there he was with a twitching knee and waits for a robbery with flapjack because he hasn't paid his rents for months and the deadline is the next day.

Flapjack comes and Wallace reminds him that he's late. After Wallace sees the high flapjack he hesitates and thinks about going back home and forgets about all of it but suddenly he remembers that he doesn't have money to buy the tickets.

They review their plans and how flapjack has to keep people away. And that they should wait for people to leave.

There they are.11:30. At the small store. Flapjack is reading a magazine in its section. Wallace Is at the baby foods section. And three other guys including a cop,Leroy and a fat black lady who is talking about the price of a can of  tomato.

The lady tells Leroy that ten dollars for a can of tomato is so much and Leroy asks her to look at other things because he wants to close the shop in ten minutes. Meanwhile the police leaves and Wallace breathes calmly.

Wallace is staring at the leroy whom has a wife and a girlfriend and is rich enough to wear two gold rings but is still increasing the prices. he finds that flapjack isn't there and the lady is still looking at materials.

Wallace goes mad about how the lady is doing slowly so he just starts the mission and askes Leroy to put his hands on the desk and asks the lady to leave or she may die. The lady leaves the store while hitting some materials and she takes three can of tomato at the last moment.

Wallace is disturbed on how in difference Leroy is to his actions. He asks him to give the money and while Leroy is putting the money into a bag he tells Wallace that he understood from the very first moment he came that he would do something not good and continues with telling him that if he were his daddy, things would be different.

In a moment Wallace forgets the whole things he forgets the fact that Leroy was just a black guy and just shots him.

The story changed now things were different. he might be able to pay the rent and finds some job but he wouldn't be the same Wallace anymore.

He comes back to his house, sitting on the chair and smoking cigarette when flapjack calls. Wallace tells him that things didn't go well so he can just give him twenty. 

At the end he continues his letter. he tells Maeve that things are different now and that he doesn't want to go back anymore and he thinks that he'll always be a city boy.

Wallace, a black orphan with an injured knee ,along with flapjack, decides to rob from Leroy's store, a black rich, because he didn't paid for his house and the deadline is near.

Before the robbery he once hesitates and decides not to steal but he remembers that he has no money for doing anything.

Wallace shots the owner of the shop because he reminds him that he's a black orphan and tells him that he would train him well enough if he were his dad.

At the end he continues writing the letter about how he changes his mind about going back to Samson because everything is different now.
