Ethan Frome

A detailed Summary of Ethan Frome

For teenagers every problem (no matter how big or small) is a big deal. If they have too much homework, and can't make it to the basketball game to hang out with their friends, it's just not fair. When the boy or girl they've been infatuated with says they're going to call, and never does, it's heartbreaking. When all these small problems seem like such a big deal, it only makes sense for the even bigger problems to be devastating. All teenagers deal with these problems in different ways. For Amber, a teenage girl growing up in a small town, it seemed the only way she could get through her problems was by hurting herself, and in the end, everyone else around her too.

Growing up in a small town can be tougher than a big city, because it's harder to get away from your problems when everyone knows about them and keeps reminding you of them. Amber found that she could at least forget her problems, along with everything else, by going out to parties on the weekends and getting "wasted". She hung out with a good group of girls, and her boyfriend was the captain of the football team, so no one suspected a thing.

One night though, Amber went too far, and when she came home drunk and passed out on h

When everyone got to her house, the party started and Autumn didn't waste a minute opening up the beer. She designated all the rooms and areas so there would be no conflict in interests that night, and the drama would be kept at a minimum. The living room and kitchen were the drinking rooms, the back porch was the smoking area, and she even lit some candles in her sister's room to set the mood for the make-out area.

What inspired me to write this story was not only our deep thought topics on what we would take if our house was burning and the one about loneliness, but also my fears. A lot of this story is fictional but the plot is based on my own personal fears. What happened to Autumn is what I am most afraid of happening to me in real life.

Autumn never told anyone, but one of her greatest fears was losing all of her friends by getting too wrapped up in a boy. It seemed like it all just happened so fast, and in just one day Autumn's friends decided that they were sick of being put second to Autumn's relationship with her boyfriend. She was so upset and confused that her boyfriend decided he didn't want to be dragged down by her unhappy life. Autumn suddenly found herself more alone then ever.

It definitely didn't seem to help that Autumn's parents were out of town while all of this was happening. Instead of letting that add to her stress though, Autumn decided to take advantage of the situation. She called up all of her old "drinking buddies" and let them all know that she would be hosting that nights drinking binge. Autumn didn't even think twice about having a party at her house, her parents were out of town, her sister would be staying the night at her boyfriends house, and with all that had happened that week getting "trashed" seemed like her only way out.

Around 4:30 am, the most unexpected thing happened which changed Autumn's life forever. Her big problem suddenly popped up, and it was the most devastating of all of her problems. Autumn was sound asleep when one of the girls who had been in the make-out room all night came stumbling in her door shouting incoherently. Autumn opened her eyes and saw her shaking and screaming at the top of her lungs. It took Autumn a second but she final
