Mr. Body's Murder It is a hot, humid, foggy morning. My adopted father, Mr. Body, is turning 30 today. He has invited five of his old friends. He has been running around all morning getting things ready, but he did something weird to Tudor Mansion something he had never done before. He was running around locking all the doors accept the kitchen, dining room, lounge and the billiard room.…
I chose to do my essay on the sentencing some people are given because some people do need to realize just how small minded our country is. I know some people deserve the sentencing they get but let’s face it; some of the sentencing for these convictions is ridiculous. Something more serious, someone more harmful could be on the loose or given a small amount of time. Not everybody will agree with this paper but I can guarantee they will when it comes to their own loved ones. Nobody looks at these cases the same way.…
I came back for my sister’s funeral, I haven’t spoken to her since I left; I haven’t really spoken to anyone since I left. It’s only now that I treasure every moment I had with her, every word I said to her and every word she said back. Her son came to pick me up from the airport, the whole trip back to the house was silent; not a single word was spoken, I could only hear the gravel from the road flick up under the tyres. Funerals here were different to funerals in England, it looks like the whole town was here! As I stepped inside the familiar home I once knew, I could hear the clatter of plates and bowls and the chatter that seemed endless.…
“To say the least, I am shocked and heartbroken. I raised my son to be a caring and respectful boy and that’s exactly how he turned out. My beautiful sons death report states he was in a high speed chase with the police, but I know my son to be better than that. When my son left for the big city, he left a strong-minded but gentle boy. It seems that even the kindest people can be crushed by that horrid city and the monsters who live there” - Johnny’s mother Johnny was just a small town aboriginal…
My brother, Ben, was a short, chunky, little sixth grader. He had jeans shorts, a bright red short sleeve plaid shirt on, and a pair of black flip flops on. He loved to play outside. He would go on bike rides, ride his skateboard around, and just hang out with his friends outside. He would be outside from sun up to just before the sun set.…

My brother needed to avoid the milkman. It wasn’t so much as he needed to as he just did. The milkman, Vince, is a pretty swell guy. He’s been delivering milk for about a year now. The old guy “quit”.…
A Loss Too Well Remembered This was a rather interesting assignment, one that I did not believe I would able to complete. I had so many ideas of what I wanted to write about, that is until I remembered my best friend. My very first best friend was more like a brother to me.…
The game had started and I was running towards the goal with the ball at my feet. Take a shot I repeated to myself, score a goal. “Shoot!” I lifted my foot hitting the ball into the air spinning to the goal. It was saturday morning and the sun was shining bright.…
Statistics are mathematical equations. They are numbers. They mean little to me. Statistically, there is a 000000001% chance that you are the person that will read this essay. And yet, here you are.…
My parents spent the greater part of my preschool years assuming I would grow up to be a serial killer. As any parent probably knows, there is a time in a child’s life where they do not understand the concept and capabilities of death. It was during this period in my life that my parents decided it was acceptable to give me my own pet guinea pig. While I do not particularly remember this guinea pig, who I lovingly named Jenna, I do remember very vividly the moments leading up to her brutal death. It was a playdate like any other, which meant that I was sitting in my room playing absentmindedly with another preschool aged girl who I was not particularly fond of while my mind drifted off into a sort of dark daydream that one would not generally…
My brother Lester was first diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia at the age of sixteen. Paranoid schizophrenics often have false delusions and auditory hallucinations, causing them to see things-people or objects that aren’t really there or to hear voices no one else can hear. It’s difficult for schizophrenics to differentiate between their illness and reality. For the most part, they can’t. It was hard for my family to accept the diagnosis, but we learned to deal with it.…
The morning of Saturday November 1st, 2014, I woke up to three hundred text messages and twitter notifications all notifying me that my friend, Dominik Pettey, was killed in a car crash by a drunk driver the previous night. No pain had ever felt so significant, it was crippling, but then instead of pain, I was numbed by the inability to grasp that my friend someone who I just had seen the night before, was gone. I ran the words “Dom is dead” through my head on a loop but could not bring myself to accept it. That week, although I was still here, facing such a tragedy, everything on earth seemed so insignificant, going to class, homework, midterms, everything. I woke up every morning wishing it was just in a bad dream and that noise would never cease because that is when it hit me the most, silence, when I didn't hear Dom’s infectious laugh or when he wasn't telling me that, “I am Kiera Wainer and deserve the best God can give”, which he used to say anytime I was upset, the first time he said those words was the second worst day of my entire life, it was the day my dad left for his new family.…
The death of little sister A significant experience can be defined as something that has happened in the past and is meaningful to an individual because of the impact it had on them. Everyone has a significant experience that is either bad or good in which are dealt with in very different ways. As for me, I have a significant experience that devastated my life. It was on July 16, 2005, I woke up to the voice of my mother crying hysterically in her bedroom. Without hesitation I rushed down the hallway.…
I spent a lot of time with my older brother, Matthew. Without noticing, everything he did, I had to do and I would try and do better. I like to think we had a pretty typical sibling relationship. We would argue about everything, fight, wrestle, he and his buddies would pick on me, beat me up, just typical stuff brother stuff. Everything always went his way and for me, life was unfair.…
