Honda's Accident In Shirley And Charlotte Streets

Improved Essays
It was on the corner of Shirley and Charlotte Streets a horrific accident had taken place. A black Honda accord coupe with chrome rims and blue lights had climbed half way up a lamp pole, but had seemed to collide with a white Toyota Camry first, with a yellow sticker on the back glass that read “ baby on board”. The smell of gas and fear saturate the air and quickly filled the nostrils of those nearby. Shattered glass and broken orange and red light pieces decorated the road around the scene. Right at the foot of the scene surrounded by a crowd of men, women and children, whispers can be heard as loud as a person with a megaphone at a pep rally. The right side of the Toyota smashed, and the front end flatten like a pancake picked my brain strongly. The scene was smaller due to the fact that people moved in closer to further examine the accident. …show more content…
She appeared to be unconscious and injured. This could be determined at a glance because thick blood ran from her head down the side of her face and dripped slowly onto her pink shirt. The sight of this made my stomach turn and left a bad taste in my mouth. The driver of the Toyota was well alive. Another dark skin female with light brown hair and a rose tattoo on her neck, was hunched over the steering wheel with injuries stained to her bottom lip, back and legs. With a pitiful look in her eyes you could almost feel the pain that she suffered from being trapped in the car. From what the eyes can see no baby was in the car. Once this was realized you could see the fretfulness lift off most persons on the

    Nearly one month later, on July 10, 1977, Craig’s body was found floating in a nearby strip-mine pond that had already been intensely searched in the first few days and weeks following his disappearance (Flynn, Grace). An autopsy report determined that there was no definite cause of death, but then again authorities had poured fuel on the body at the time of discovery to “kill maggots” supposedly. This move disabled all ability to make determination of cause of death from tissue samples. The sheriff at the time, along with the grand jury, recommended that the case remain open (Flynn, Grace). After several years, Craig Lloyd Graham’s cause of death is still listed as unknown with no new facts or evidence to help find out who committed this terrible crime (“Craig Lloyd Graham”).…

    Young children are exceptionally impressionable. They copy their peers, parents, and siblings to learn everything they do. They have overreactions to simple challenges because they have not yet learned how to behave. For a child who experiences a tragedy, the influence can be devastating, and something they can carry with them for their whole lives. Steven Church’s narrative essay “I’m Just Getting to the Disturbing Part” demonstrates human reactions toward a disaster, while expressing the author’s firsthand experience to a tragedy he witnessed as a child by using an ominous text throughout his story.…

    Although I knew that Faris would take the Kirkuk route this time to get Erbil, I just wanted to ask that question to break the early morning silence. Travelling routes between Erbil and Baghdad were few, Baghdad-Kirkuk-Erbil or Baghdad-Mosul-Erbil being the only options. As far as I was concerned, either route was extremely dangerous. Each route had different terrain and peculiarities, yet they shared a similar distance and the fear of hidden and expected attacks. These areas were essentially insurgent territory, which had become notorious for many roadside bombs, drive-by shootings, fake checkpoints and thuggery.…

    Kate Chopin's first child was born on May 22, 1871. Twenty-three years after the birth of her first son, Kate Chopin wrote the following account of her childbirth experience: I can remember yet that hot southern day on Magazine Street in New Orleans. The noises of the street coming through the open windows, that heaviness with which I dragged myself about; my husband's and mother's solicitude; old Alexandrine the quadroon nurse with her high bandana tignon, her hoop-earrings and placid smile; old Dr. Faget; the smell of chloroform, and then waking at 6 in the evening from out of a stupor to see in my mother’s arms a little piece of humanity all dressed in white; which they told me was my little son! The sensation with which I touched my lips…

    In the story we never hear of her jolt or scream but she just continues to film the events that she is seeing. Though in counter-argument this could be the stories narrator being unreliable and not telling us what he is experiencing.
