Pangea-Personal Narrative

Superior Essays
My sister and I fought about something stupid, exactly how we always did, but somehow this argument turned into something more, and we ended up not talking for the rest of the week. She hated me, I knew, and growing up I was proud of the sibling rivalry we had, but these days, I was tired of it. The arguing, the yelling, even the eyerolls I gave her sometimes; it was just something I didn’t want anymore.
I’m not even sure how the drift between us happened, but there was a continent the size of Pangea between her and I, and there was no way for me to fix it. Five and a half days of not saying a word to each other later, I left to sleep over at my friend’s house for the weekend. Being with them cheered my spirits up a bit, but the lingering

My own eyes widened to the size of the moon, before a small, little, miniscule idea popped into my head. The idea was brilliant you see. It even came with a plan, with not only one, not two, but THREE parts to it. Are you ready? The plan was called “how about I don’t die tonight? That would be very much appreciated thank you very much”. Now let’s move onto part A. Part A, was the part where I stand up calmly, and unrattled. Part B was the part where I sprinted the 40 feet, back to my friends house, and part C was when I made my grand escape into the house never to be seen again. Except, my movements didn’t go as I planned. Standing up like a newborn baby deer, knees wobbly and everything, yellow eyes let out another terrifying growl, that my whole body jumped at the sound. I made an inhuman noise of fright, making my face contort into something I couldn’t even describe into words, I tried sprinting back to the house, keyword, TRIED. My foot getting tangled up in the cocoon of blankets I wrapped myself in, I tripped and landed smack dab on my face; very gracefully I might add. I hear the screen door open and slam

    What is a God? Is He a higher being someone made up to feel better when people did something bad? Or the “person” that is up in the sky waiting for us to join Him after we die? Or a real, loving, caring higher power whose always has your back? A Christian God is a God who holds all morals and who does not want to see His people hurting, but wanting them to succeed and have a great life.…

    I could still physically move but couldn't physically speak. I was so frightened, my first thought was to get to my teacher at the front classroom door. Holding my jaw to try to stop the chaotic movement of my teeth, I took about four steps to get to the door, before falling backwards, unconsciously, with my eyes rolling in the back of my head. It was so…

    “My heart has convinced me that I do not wish to join your crew.” “What about last night we looked into each others' eyes, and we could tell we were meant to be together that's why we kissed.” “I could never marry a common thief like you I only kissed you because I needed to have a little fun before I married my prince.” “You may believe we are soul mates, but I can assure you the relationship you see us having is nonexistent.” Patrick grabbed at Elizabeth's arms hoping he could change her mind, but she just pushed him away and got as far from the tavern as she could.…

    Conflict is the resulting tension of two or more parties who are unable to, at least in part understand, empathize with, or tolerate an idea or behavior. This tension can be expressed through words, violence, segregation, or disassociation with the opposing party. As Thomas Kilmann theorized, it is rare that a conflict, even of mild consequence, is disconnected from other factors, but rather that conflicts are cradled in a nest of emotional investment, moral beliefs, and political ideology. This is never more true than when it is applied to conflicts within families, which in my experience are capable of becoming grossly disproportionate from the cause and offend on more counts than any other conflict. This essay will therefore analyze a conflict…

    When I was young, my sister and I never got along well. Neither of us were afraid to voice our thoughts, but we had opposite personalities, so that was an enormous complication. She would constantly whine whenever I practice the violin or piano that I was too loud and it was drowning out the music she was listening to. In return, I would always retort that her music was too loud and distracting. Well, I never actually called it “her music”: I referred to it as “garbage”.…

    Pangea breaking up differently or not at all would completely adjust the world and species we see today dramatically! Evolution is a cause and effect processed which adjusts based off of genetic fitness needs and the ability to adapt and survive in a geological area. As the continents move and break apart this causes the climate to adjust the area affecting how a lineage of species will evolve or not leading to adaption or extinction. In my Pangea theory, it would have broken into two large land masses (possibly along the equator) rather than seven smaller masses. This would lead to larger and drier land masses due to moisture barriers such as larger forests and mountain ranges.…
