The Locker-Personal Narrative

Improved Essays
Pain shot through the left side of my head caused by my skull being banged into the locker. A groan escaped my throat; thoughts raced around my head somehow faster than my heart beating rapidly in my chest. I never thought I would be in such a situation.

I was yanked from the locker, my body being slammed back into the cold metal again, this time my back was against it. I opened my eyes, in my peripheral vision was a boy with the build of a 30-year-old weightlifter towering above my small frame. The scent of his overbearing cologne filled my nose making me want to gag. My eyes became watery at the smell; my rapid heartbeat already making it hard for me to breath.

His eyes were merciless. He looked like he wanted to take my life. A sudden wash of fear came over me. He always told me he was going to kill me and I always thought he was bluffing.

    I stood up, and a throbbing pain surged throughout my body as I slung my backpack over my swollen right shoulder and limped my way home. As I was walking through the tall wheat field on my way from school, I saw the back of a tall, white, muscular guy. “No, it can’t be…” I thought to myself, but that orange ugly bowl cut told me that it really was him. He turned around, slowly lifted his right arm in a 90 degree angle, and I saw the only comfort I had in my life missing its left leg. I covered my mouth with tears streaming down my bloodied face, my heart burning with anger.…

The quote states simply “War is a Drug.” Although not true for everyone, some find it almost impossible to return home and begin their normal lives once again. For Staff Sergeant William James played by Jeremy Renner, war was a drug, and it was as if he found pleasure while under enemy fire and defusing bombs. There are two main reasons why “The Hurt Locker” is such a standout film.…
