Creative Writing: Bubbe And Zeddie's Home

Improved Essays
It’s a chilly winter-spring morning, March 26, 2014. I walk down the stone stairs and look out the glass door of my Bubbe and Zeddie’s house, and see the misty air, and the trees blowing slowly side to side. It reminds me of myself after I get off of a roller coaster at Knott 's Berry Farm. I smell the fresh scent of the morning in my nostrils. It cools them, though they are already cold, from the air conditioning. There’s a sense of calmness running through the atmosphere. I don’t know whether or not it’s because of the quietness, or natural light flowing around the walkway and around the house. I feel at peace.

“She’s no longer with us.” My Bubbe informs me, with a sad look on her face. I knew this was coming, we all did. Just not when.
“Oh” was the only thing I could get out of my mouth at the moment. I don’t know what to say, or what to do. I feel like a lost puppy in an alleyway. I don’t know where to go, or who to go to. Then two words pop out of my mouth, that dwindle down my curiosity about the topic. “Since when?” I ask feeling kind of embarrassed, I feel as if I’m pestering my family.
“Last night.” Yet again, it seems like everyone had answers for my questions. I seem to have all the information, so why don’t I feel as sad as I should. I know I am sad, but why can’t show it through the tears running down my cheeks. I want to cry, I really do. At that moment all I can think is,
Why? Why am I not crying? Why don’t I feel as sad I should? Am I some sort of devil child? I loved her so much! WHY?! JUST CRY KYLA! She was such an amazing woman. Strong, brave, outgoing. All these things I will admire her for forever. I remember, one time we went to this completely vegetarian restaurant. My great grandma ordered something that had some sort of false meat, and the waitress came up to our table, and asked, “So, how’s everything going over

    Journal Entry 1 – Descriptive Entry (Act II - Proctor) Diary, Although I had promised myself to never open and write in this book again, I can’t help but feel that today’s events should be recorded in here so I can set them away from my mind. If the memories are remembered in here, I wouldn’t to hold remember them in my mind. I had just come back home after a long day of planting and tending the land.

    The earth beneath their feet had long since morphed into oozing, black mud that sucked at their feet and legs. The pounding of artillery shells, the booming of massive guns, the sharp crack of rifles, and the smell of gunpowder were without pause. Blood-splattered bodies were sprawled on the trenches. The screams of agony and the earth-shattering crashes of shells would be enough to drive even the most stalwart to insanity.…

    There was low-toned talk among the troops. The officers were impatient and snappy, their countenances clouded with the tales of misfortune. The troops, sifting through the forest, were sullen.

    It was a quiet Friday at Henry’s. There were only five customers scattered around the restaurant.

Both George and Lennie were, in the back of the restaurant, working. George was cleaning dishes, while Lennie was trying his best to mop.…

    Eulogy It never occurred to me that I would be up here so soon, talking about my Grandmother, Joyce White instead of celebrating her birthday with her and talking about the good old times when I was a little girl. I remembered my Grandmother as a beautiful lady with long black dark hair, rosy cheeks and red lips. She was not your typical grandma who baked cookies, stay in the house all day and knit sweaters, she was a woman who enjoyed life to its fullest. I used to remember when I was a little girl, I would love when my grandma comb my hair, she would plait my hair and when she is done, I would say to her, “Mama do not forget to fix my baby hair at the front with the brush,” she would smile and say “yes Kay, I did not forget.” She was a…

    Giving back is often thought of when "stars" give to communities in need once they get rich. When Flint,Michigan's water pipes were found to be infested with lead poisoning, early October 2014, celebrities like Madonna and Cher reached out donating $10,000 dollars and 200,000 bottles of water. An admirable contribution, giving back to a community in need and helping others who under the circumstances couldn’t help themselves. However you don’t have to be rich to give back, a great deal of people throughout my life have given me something that have helped me along the way. Whether it be a warm hug, some help with my homework or a laugh, it's the little priceless things that have impacted me the most.…

I love their songs, especially when the ‘great light’ (sun) rises and brightens the encompassing lush greens. It’s a majestic combination of mesmerizing light, exposing the beauty of my home, and joyful melody that revitalizes my day.…
