One Tree Hill Personification

Improved Essays
Too many people bank on the idea that there is time. Time to do all they have plan out to do. People wake up every day to sit at a desk all day to do the same work they do every day. Then they drive home on the same roads they do every day, and come home to do the same routine every day. Working at a job they don’t like, in a town they don’t like, surrounded by people they don’t like. (Epistrophe) We have all seen it, we all know it. Many of us grew up watching this happen to everyone around us. Life is sneaky. (Personification) It tricks you into believing you have all the time in the world; but in reality you don’t. “One day, you’re 17 and you’re planning for someday. And then quietly, without you ever really noticing, someday is today. And then someday is yesterday. And this is your life.” (One Tree Hill)
Nothing compares to the feeling of waking up from a vivid dream. A dream that you wish was not a dream. (Epanalepsis) A dream that felt so real, until you were awoken by your alarm clock. (Anaphora) We all know that feeling. We have all done it, millions of nights lying in bed wide awake staring at the ceiling; reminiscing each and every memory we have once lived, that once made us happy.

(Rhetorical Question) How something as little as a lyric in a song can make you feel something. The one thing that took you days or even months to get over, suddenly appears in your mind because of one lyric that reminded you of that someone or something that was so hard to forget. So hard to forget because it brought such sadness into your life. You wish things were different, but as much as you wished those 11:11 wishes, you knew that wish would never come true. You have no choice but to go on with your life and try to find happiness somewhere else because you no longer have that one person or thing that you swore you would never

    The life of an average person consists of waking up at the crack of dawn, commuting to their job, working for hours on end, attending extracurricular events following work, and repeating the cycle over and over and over.

    It is when we are asleep, we are given the power to let our minds wander. To lose all sense of reality and drift aimlessly through our subconscious thoughts and dreams. A time when all of our problems and struggles in the physical world slip away for a brief period of time. It is when we wake, we are forced to face the harsh reality of the world we live in. A world with crime and hate.…

    Try to picture a kindergartener trying to do an adult job like being an electrician they would get shocked every time they try to fix the wires. Do we think that the rules we learned as kindergarteners applies to life today? Next, I believe it does not apply to the lessons we learned in kindergarten for the following reasons: we are more mature now, we know that if we want something we have to work hard for it, and life is not as easy as it once might have been. To begin, we are more responsible than we used to be when we was in kindergarten. Since we have not been in kindergarten for 10 years I think it is false to assume we have not gotten more mature.…

For example, in school we work for six hours with only a half hour to eat lunch. During school we should have 20 minute breaks every day because our classes are so boring, we sit around all day, and we need exercise.…
