 * Pig on a Stick**

4th Block By: Chris Lawrence and Edward Diaz
 * Plot Details**

The story begins with 3 children **Juney**, **Sister**, and **Olivette**. In the begginning, they are described as being frightened by a wild pig as they wait suspensefully for it to come out.They also have apparently have had no food for about a week and have to live off whatever they can get there hands on. The story centers around these three kids and their family. The wild pig that is not cooked and eaten represents the families fear that torments them through the course of the story. But at the climax of the story as the pig runs off and dissappears as the house collapses (symbolizing their fear leaving), the family pulls a mattress from the house and finally take control of their life.

-Intro:Three hungry and frightened kids wait for food after starving for so long. -Characters:**Juney(Me),** **Sister, Olivette, Mama, Dad, Baldy**, and **Aunt Beauty** Read a more detailed description HERE
 * Juney(Me)**:11 years old, the eldest child.Chocolate hair and cat green eyes.
 * Sister**:8 years old, the middle child, has chocolate hair and cat green eyes like Juney.
 * Olivette**:3 years old, the youngest child, has squash yellow hair, blackberry eyes, and wheaty freckles.
 * Mama**:Described with a stomach stretching to Russia. This could either indicate that she was Pregnant with a child or was extremely corpulant.
 * Dad**:The lack of physical descriptions for the Dad shows the lack of a relationship he had with the children. He is only really mentioned about being on a bread route, but being away from hame so long could mean he might have had other plans with another woman.
 * Baldy**: Described with extremely hairy knuckles and three different multicolored tattoos
 * Aunt Beauty**: Described as being as ugly as a barn rat, but has developed alot of luck with men.

-Rising Action: The Pig frightens the girls, the parents have left the children, and they have had a weeks worth of starvation. Multiple conflicts start. Alot are kind of in your face and are introduced in the very begginning. Most of the conflicts become resolved over the course of the story.

-Climax: The girls are fed a cooked pig (not the one mentioned in the begginning), and at the end of the story, the house collapses and the Pig (their fear) runs off into the fields, they start to get things together and the story ends on some what of a "positive" note despite the loss of the house. - Falling action: When the girls are found in front of the house by Beauty just before it collapses and they lose the last material thing they had left. - Conclusion: They finally realize that this is not how it should be and that they can no longer go on living this way in fear and tragedy, so they grab a sythe and cut the back yard to start over on a clean slate begin to take control of the way they now want to live.

Three children left by their parents with no food, and only their drunk Aunt Beauty to look after them. Their drunk Aunt Beauty has just found a new boyfriend in Baldy. In the beginning they are just getting by. They have a roof over their heads, (but not for long), and they have to steal or kill what ever they eat. Baldy starts to think he is helping out when he makes Juney's bike a motor bike, and he teaches Juney and sister to smoke Lucky Strikes. He thinks that he is helping out when infact he is teaching them to be like him. That's not such a good thing. One day Baldy strikes Aunt Beauty and she pulls a gun on him, and she dumps him. Finally one night after the floor had been destroyed two years ago, their house gives way. Their Aunt Beauty finds Juney, sister, and Olivette sitting in the front yard on a mattress. After a long moment of silence Aunt Beauty looks at Juney and says, "Come on Juney," "It's time we got things in order." "Lets go cut the grass out back."
