Descriptive Essay : ' Hannah Wake Up '

Improved Essays
“ Hannah wake up, wake up.” My mom said as she was shaking the life out of me.
“What? Why did you wake me up?” I asked as I was yawning.
“The airplane is landing put your seat up,” she told me.
I rushed to turn around and open the window. This had always been my favorite moment, on each and every flight, especially on the way to Israel. I looked down, we were at that moment where you are about to land so you can see the cars and the streets, not just farms and land. You can see highway buildings, and even people.
It all feels so real. I felt the butterflies fluttering in my stomach, I couldn 't keep still.
“BONKCUSH” The wheels came out. I felt the sides tilting up and down. I could feel myself hopping up and down in my seat. I loved this feeling of hovering. “CUCHUNCK” The wheels landed I felt the bump. I grabbed my sister and peeled her phone out of her fingers. She finally took a break from her phone looked up and saw that we had landed. I could tell all she was thinking about was getting to a power outlet to charge her phone.
A rush came over me --- I was finally here. Now it was just a matter of time before I saw my Grandpa’s, Grandma’s, Cousins, Uncles, and Aunts. As usual, we were in the back of the plane (Those tickets are always the cheapest. If we went in first class on every flight we would probably be bankrupt by now.) But personally I hated waiting this was a waste of time that I could be spending with my grandpa. My grandpa was my idol, I loved him so

    Favorite parts: My favorite parts were actually Clay’s narrative. I found it unique, from a storytelling perspective, to have Hannah’s story portrayed in the context of Clay’s. Sometimes, it would seem that the lines would blur about whose story this actually was; in the end it is Clay’s. Clay becomes so engulfed in Hannah’s story, this girl that he had an emotional attachment to, who is now gone. The prime example of Clay’s immersion in Hannah’s world comes when Clay is at Monet’s, a favorite hangout place of Hannah’s.…

    Hannah Jarvis also has many of the same characteristics, particularly in regards to emotional intelligence that Thomasina does. Hannah is driven by her academic work and finds comfort in facts and knowledge where emotion makes her uncomfortable and exasperates her. This is illustrated in scene two when Hannah is discussing the hermit of Sidley Park with Bernard, HANNAH. The hermit was placed in the landscape exactly as one might place a pottery gnome. And there he lived out his life as a garden ornament.…
