The message ( Anonymous )

I just thought about this because I am doing an assignment for school and the subject is english and I thought of nothing, so I looked up 'The message' on the internet to get some ideas from some sites. I thought I would get nothing but then I came across this article on Wikipedia and I read the first part of it and I thought it was remarkable to read. It was entertaining, intrigueing and made me want to read more. It had sensory words in it which means that I could feel, smell, have a vision, hear and taste what was in the story. I suggest that all people who read this look up this short story somewhere, whether in a library, on the internet or where ever. Just look it up and try to find all the sensory words in it, because my teacher has always said to look at this. Do not look up me because I do not like petifiles on here or anywhere. I think they are disgusting and stupid and quite frankly do not have lives so they do what they do, but look up this persons name who wrote it. I do not know them, but I am pretty sure if you could make a story this good you must be an imaginative person and is very nice.

Thanks for reading

Sincerely yours, Anonymous person.

More explicit size info, please

The statement, "A very short story, it runs to 1½ pages in paperback," is meaningless. The number of pages taken by anything written is a function of paper size, margins and leading, and typeface size. The length of the story should be expressed in number of words, which is how the writer is usually paid, does not vary, and is not affected by the printing process. 12.233.147.42 (talk) 22:29, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
