Stephen crane the Bride Comes to Yellow sky

 I've enjoyed everything I picked up by Stephen crane his short stories his books and his poetry .this is a book review on the Bride Comes to Yellow sky.

 this is about Newly Weds on a train going from one end of Texas to the other .... A Thousand Mile Journey  on a Pullman steam engine that has to stop for water when some action happens............anyway dude went across Texas and eloped and now they're on their way back together.... from San Antonio to Yellow sky Texas ....now yellow sky is a fictional town on one end of Texas .....

The dude is actually a Marshall the town Marshall's name is Jack Potter.... went clear across the state and eloped  this bride he picked up is older then the normal Brides .....  eloped in a blue cashmere dresss steel buttons .... Her name is not mentioned at all other than Mrs Potter..........anyway marriage was important to the people in yellow sky and they were on a train that was a beautiful Pullman they had a parlor car with Fresco's on the ceiling and then there was a dining car with a Negroes and dazzling white suits .......he was bringing his bride to this Society.... she came from San Antonio .there Was snobs on board this train and the embarrassed her..... as under class. Steam engine had two engines actually  had to stop for water and so they got out and they were in a bar and they was like the drunk man looking to scrap he wanted a gunfight you know three paces and then turn around  and shoot.....but this groom was not armed the other guy did back down ...the armed Guy Backed Down and refuse to shoot an unarmed man

Jack Potter was nervous about bringing his new bride back to Yellow Sky because he didn't even tell the people in yellow sky that he was going to get married and now he's coming back with this woman

Book Review. THE LAKE GUN, by Cooper.

American Lit. SHort Story about a LaKE in Seneca New York that makes a mysterious Sound that nobody can account for. Deep, hollow, resembling the sound of a piece of heavy artillery . No satisfactory explanation. PLenty of local opinions, like compressed air escaping from a chasm. Theres also PALE FACES and RED FACES in the area. they have different ideass, like the lake is speaking to the hills. also the "The Swimming Seneca. .........a CURSED CHIEF...CURSED For a thousand winters he is to swim in the waters of this lake. Such is the tradition. Five hundred winters are gone by since he was thrown into the lake; five hundred more must come before he will sink. The curse of the Manitou is on him.

#jamesfenimorecooper

#1850

The "Lake Gun" is a mystery. It is a sound resembling the explosion of a heavy piece of artillery, that can be accounted for by none of the known laws of nature. The report is deep, hollow, distant, and imposing. The lake seems to be speaking to the surrounding hills, which send back the echoes of its voice in accurate reply. No satisfactory theory has ever been broached to explain these noises. Conjectures have been hazarded about chasms, and the escape of compressed air by the sudden admission of water; but all this is talking at random, and has probably no foundation in truth. The most that can be said is, that such sounds are heard, though at long intervals, and that no one as yet has succeeded in ascertaining their cause.

CHAPTER I.

MRS. BROWN’S SUCCESS.

Every one remembers the severity of the Christmas of 187-  DASH

. I will not designate the year more closely, lest I should enable those who are too curious to investigate the circumstances of this story, and inquire into details which I do not intend to make known.   

french capital , paris

christmas time   unknown the exact year (dash)

bad winter

 Paris ought to be gay; that gayety, prettiness, and liveliness are its aims, as money, commerce, and general business are the aims of London,

London england

vs 

Paris france

a couple arrives at big hotel   concealed named & dates

mr & Mrs brown

the lived together like married,  

mrs brown was wealthy

he married her and stopped working  ..disabled

so Christmas family gathering

her sisiter was gonna introduce a new beau  shes been trying to get him to travel

dude thoought the journey was gonna kill him

but they went

that's where they were heading , when  the storm 

so the hotel  

dude was sick he had bronchitis

sick man in hotel, just wanting to go home

cruel weather

hotel was chilly

they were heading to stratford

by train the next day

dude did not think he could go, he couldn't make it  if he didn't get better tonite

he went to bed

flannel on his throat, he was hoarse, croaky

she could barely here him, 

he sent her to the basement to get some mustard to make a poultice in a hankerchief.   she tucked him in and went down the corridor and down the steps and another corridor and more steps and another corridor and more steps and found private sittings rooms and tried to make her way back and start again.  got lost in the hotel.

saw a porter in white,  large, big bust, like juno

she asked for directions

there was a man in kitchen , 

and the man helped her get back to her room

she counted the steps  and traced the path  to  back to room  333 so she can 

come back

cause she needed that mustard, 

she went back but now its creepy

she made it  back to the medicinal compound

it smelled  a little sour to her, but it was a different brand that normal

walked with the candle back to the room

it was dark

he was sleeping, he was gone about an hour

the snore didn't sound like sick person, she made herself think he was just fine 

he was sleeping good. she was tired too.

she got mad he was sleeping  and shes out wandering around the hotel

she was a British matron which sounded like a nurse

saying if she was at home, shed have a delicate linen bag to stop the mustard from making a mess.  but she put the poultice on his throat .

the guy snored, but didnt wake

she but his bread back down and saw it was the wrong man!

she was struck with horror

stranger opened his eyes but still was snoring

she didn't know what to do, the mustard plaster if left too long, will burn ya

she didnt know what to say if he jumps up

should I say??????????do not move, do not scream

I put a mustard plaister on your chest thinking you were my husband let me clean it off and keep your peace

should she go tell the porter what she did, and let him handle it?

she stepped outta the room

trying to figure out how she even got in here

the room was 353 not 333

so now shes in the hall, her husband still needs the wrap

she's looking for the porter,   everything was dark and deserted

she was cold

it was christmas

she was sad about this whole mess

shes was like....neither of these men are gonna die, fuck it

shes going bed 

no man even died from a mustard plaister

she had the hotel path down now

she opened the door, hoping her man was zzzzzzzzzzzzz

he was not zzzz

he was sitting near the fireplace which was just a spark

he groaned

she said why are you not in bed

he groanded again

she said I tucked you in, why are you out

he said where were you?

she got him back in bed, and told him  a bs story

and was like dead or alive, your getting on the train tomorrrow

to meet her new brother in law

she wanted to go  

they talked  more....he was a little mad there was no mustard

she said there was none that's what took so long, I was looking for it

she said please go to sleep

he said that's impossible

she said we are going tomorrow

he said he was gonna die, the they were cold

shes just fibbing about her night

she was thinking 

everybody needs an apology

to her hubby for lying for the man for the mustang and the porter for stealing the mustatd

she starked packing up for the next days trip

she did not sleep 

she got dressed and sat on the red velvet sofa

he husbands throat is still sore and he was complaining

she laid down with him the night was short, yet long

he got some sleep, '

she couldn't cause she new the other dude was gonna wake up in pain

cause mustard will legit burn ya ( mustard gas)

it was christmas he might been drinking passed out, mustard will burn 

it already been hours

she was wondering if she would recognize her burn victim in the lobby int the morning, she veiled her face

feeling some sort of way, she was scared to even look at the porter 

incase anybody saw her leaving the strange mans room in the middle of the night

she was prepared to defend herself

in cause her  mongrammed personalized hankerchief was found in the guys room

she was freaking out, all she wanted to do was get her the family party

she was adamant she did not commit any crime

despite the victim man with burns and the evidence she left

she felt everybody was staring her  and they were

the porter came flashing the hankerchief looking for the owner

the hubby's like...why was you in dudes room

and porter was like yes, why??

she said it was a mistake, she was lost in the hall

they did not call the police

but the man upstairs was upset and delayed them

she was afraid they were gonna miss the train

the mans name was Mr Jones, who was gonna be on the same train

but he couldn't even dress himself , because of the burn

hubby, still sick himself.... was like,,wtf did you do to that man

he then realized she was fibbing all night

he realized she did try to get him the mustard and do what he needed

he said he wasn't mad, they kissed

she said he wont die cause of the mustard

Mr Jones came down with a loose napkin, he was stiff 

she said it was an accident

he said you interfered with my privacy and comfort

hubby's spoke up, said she thought it was me

he said I'm about to have a wife myself,  he still didn't think it was possible to be an accident. 

he said I wish she would a brought it back to me and not you

the extent of the injury was unknown

he thought it was practical joke not a mistake

they said no violent joke, an accident

why didn't she wake me???

nobody knew

nothing could be done now, too late

they sent a telegram, about the delay

they all got on the omibus instead of a train

she sat away from her victim and her face was veiled

Mr Jones was wondering if he was the only one in the world that happened too and realized his vulnerability, cause she coulda used choloform

he wondered what she looked like cause he never really saw her,

he was sleeping or she was veiled

they arrived at straford

she freed herself from the prescence  of her handsome & hostile victim

they were going to get on a carriage and head to thompson hall

and dude was heading that way too

and dude barnaby jones was still hurting from the burn

aand so the moment is still unpleasant

and the poor victim was thinking  she did it on purpose cause he was going to meet a girl

absurd condition stuck to everybody's memory

it was like a nightmare,  he tried to forget about this long day in paris

and now his assailant in still here with him

Charles Barnaby jones vs, name  burnaby

sister  jane

ran to her boyfriend

hugged him

he loved it...but that hurt

she said what's the matter

he looked at mr brown with eyes ...like wtf do I say

Jane started putting things together, cause both people were delayed

her sister and her bf

and since mr jones personal comfort was suffering

they spoke of it to the whole family

the sisters laughed it off

Jane is like...I hope we all love each other

they met the family,  cousins who were members of parliment

they had Christmas dinne

siron of beef

turkey

minced pies

plum pudding

Mrs brown, told her sister jane thew truth about  everything that happened

she said it was stupid, but it happened

she said she knew she was wrong, she begged for his forgiveness

he forgave her

she swore life long sisterly devotion

the last line

Nevertheless it was a very jovial meeting, and before the evening was over Mr. Jones was happy, and had been brought to acknowledge that the mustard plaster would probably not do him any permanent injury.

 

Victober Silas marner

 Happy Victober

and there man who wouldnt sign the birth certificate (marry

and this woman was found DEAD IN THE SNOW

and he accused theive called the dead woman a tramp

ai works great for what i use it for

thanks ai

they didnt want slaves to read

slaves bibles were cut up , i mean smaller, lesser, kjv is a scrap book

I chose to read Silas marner published in 1861 because it was about a weaver,
the garment industry if you will.
my family, tho I am estranged from them because of their fraud & abuse
were in the same industry have worked at a union dress making factory

-------------------------------------------------------------------

chapter one contains soooo much information

now everybody probably heard about God but they might notta heard about the evil one. anyway, the books mentions that some occupation revolve around evil and the one doing that fraud.      but the weavers felt their profession was legit honest work

the weavers were said to be pallid, undersized , but brawny county folk that looked like remnants of a disinherited race. they were superstitious.  the peddler would visit, the knife grinder would visit.  wandering men...no father or mother

the world outside of their own direct experience was a mystery to them they had trust issues. they were regarded as aliens,  they had eccentrick habits that kept them in a state of loneliness

takes place in a merry england or which is concept England, a utopian society

the village of raveloe.

silas marner

about a weaver who was in the latern yard church gang of assholes or something. this is what happened. their deacon got sick and had no kids. these men took turns caring for him .

well when the deacon died on silas watch.....the other men accused silas of robbing the deacon. they even planted his knife near to where the bag of money was.

 Jane eyre about an small orphan girl who is sent to live with her aunts family

who were physically bigger than her

and they bullied her.....said she was  poor orphan
