I had no one left to lose.” Mrs. Love felt like life was it for her when lost her young man and sister. Just when she prepares to meet her maker, she starts to think about a picture. “The image of this little cat, with its wet fur, kept distracting me.” Even though she was old and depressed she still was willing not to deny one of God's creatures a bit of affection and something to eat.…
Clarabeth Maire Grainer laid in her bed unable to sleep, she stared at the white ceiling above her as she thought to herself. She eventually closed her eyes and fell asleep, the next thing she knew her alarm was screaming at her with loud beeping. She woke up with a sigh knowing that school started in an hour. She got out of her warm bed and got dressed in an army green sweater, gray jeans, and pulled on some brown boots. She walked out of her room and into the bathroom.…
All I could do was sit and pet her, occasionally she would attempt to stand up and inevitably tumble down the stairs due to the lack of strength she had in her legs. After a few falls down the stairs, my Dad couldn’t stand it anymore, whenever he saw her struggling to get up and walk downstairs, he would hastily walk over, pick her up and carry her down the stairs. I can remember the sheepish, somewhat saddened look she had on her face every time she was being carried down the stairs. It was as if she knew what was happening to her and was speculating what was at the end of the road. It made it impossible for me to focus in school, all I could do was think of her and what would transpire in the…
’m like a satellite orbiting the earth. They all know I’m here, but I move too fast for anyone to really pay attention to the breeze that is Penelope Spaulding. I risk another quick glance at the clock. It’s not like I’m going to the Olympics in my dad’s twenty-five-year-old beat-up hockey skates, but twice around the rink in under a minute is pretty damn fast, thank you very much. The breeze from my speed whips my face and the momentum pulls me faster around the turns.…
Two Princesses We are just two princess, sitting in our circular castle. Today I am Belle, but tomorrow I will be Cinderella. Annabelle was Jasmin today, but tomorrow will be Belle. Jasmin is her favorite and Belle is mine.…
Rhythmic staccatos of hammer drills coupled with harmonic musical accompaniment compose the symphony of the theatrical arena. Gridlocked center stage, contemplating the complexity of antibiotic resistance in petri-developed bacterial strains, my deviated attention soon becomes enveloped by the compulsory sound of the production manager calling a cast meeting. I clench my hands around a story of genuine sentiment for tradition; having spent months exploring the effect one transformative agent can bear on an entire population of nuanced individuals. I begin to reference the fundamentals of biology to incite a parallel between random mutations of bacteria and random events associated with the art of theatrical production. In the studio, I delve…
Jack was cooking fried egg in the pan. He saw Lily taking the sausages into the pot. He snatched from her and said, “Hey I am going to cook that for my breakfast!” Lily looked stunned but she took another food and this time it was pancakes. Jack again eyed on what Lily was doing.…
Without a pencil and paper in hand, every individual manages to craft a story. If you can read these words, then that means your story is still being written. The last period of the story is dotted when the protagonist takes their last breath. This magnificent story that is continuously revised and scripted is our life. Life is like a Matryoshka doll, each day is another doll that is added onto the next until we one final product, one enormous Matryoshka doll.…
I worried about my mom and ours future. I thought about the girl in “Hills like White Elephants”. She had so many worries in her mind. She imagined that Hills like white Elephants. Something in my mind felt like her.…
I stole a glance up at where I knew the scouts were sitting, hoping they were impressed with my performance thus far. Their presence really shouldn’t have bothered me, as I was deep in the playoffs of my third year as a starting quarterback. We were in the state quarterfinals, playing against a team that was decent, more known for their defense than their offense. At this point in the game I was doing pretty well We were up 28-13 and the game was essentially over, there was around 5 minutes left in the 4th quarter and we had just gotten the ball back. Coach “Moose”, our offensive coordinator, called then me over, saying, “I’m gonna put in Jamie, you’ve had a good game…
I documented the children and assessed them after I demonstrated the project first. I stood back and watched the children not talking to them and listened. They were talking among themselves and saying what they thought would happen next. Children would even say the things I did as I presented the project. After sometime I asked the children what they were doing to hear their responses.…
I had never watched a film where I was too scared to be alone in my room, too terrified to sleep without the lights on, and too frightened to even go to bed, until, I made the mistake of putting on Amityville of Horror and began to watch the horror film by myself late at night with no one home. Amityville of Horror still gives me nightmares when I think about it lying in bed. I’m not one to get scared easily, especially scared of a film. When I was around 10 years old or so, my parents did not allow my siblings or myself to watch any horror or scary films based on the rating of the film.…
Anne Frank from the diary, “Diary of a Young Girl” goes through many changes as the diary progresses. The approximate stage of development that Anne fits into is “Early Adolescence (approximately 11-13 years of age). “Some physical developments of Anne are that she develops breasts and hips, and she begins menstruating. On page 130 Anne states, “I think what is happening to me is so wonderful, and not only what can be seen on my body, but all that is taking place inside.” This shows that Anne has physically developed because she talks about how she feels this sweet secret with her every time she gets her period.…
Three of my favorite collective nouns for an animal would be an “army of frogs”, “parliament of owls”, and a pandemonium of parrots. I think the “parliament of owls” is my favorite of this three. I like these three because I think they are funny to think about if you think of the animals doing the things that people do for their jobs.…
I just stood there petting her and continued to tell her that I loved her and I that I was sorry. The last thing I remember seeing was her looking at me and making a soft meowing sound before she closed her eyes for the last time. I knew I was crying at that point and when I felt her stop moving. I felt so much grief…
