The Palace Bar-Original Writing

Great Essays
Register to read the introduction… I'll end up starving, becoming really weak and ill otherwise, so I'm taking a trip to The Palace Bar. I don't know what it's like in there; I've never been in before. I didn't have any interest in that place, but now It's different now. It's my only hope, my last hope before I give up, give up for good.

5th March 1911

First a bad idea going to The Palace Bar, but it turned out for the best. Gerald Oh he's wonderful, just perfect! The name makes me get lots of butterflies! It was a bad idea first because this horrible, fat man that smelt of alcohol and sweat came up t me. He wedged me into a corner. I was very scared; I had no idea what he was going to try to do to me. I was panicking, really flustered, scanning the room for some help when my eyes fixed upon this man. He was about 5ft 9', slim face, good looking, well dressed, looked my age with a huge smile on his face as I glanced into his deep brown eyes, pleading with him to take care of me.

Daisy Renton - Trying to get on with her life.
No money, no family, no one to love me, no one for me to love, no job, no house, no happiness. I could go on, I don't think I have anything to look forward to. I've decided to book a holiday at the seaside for two weeks, not that I've got the money. I'll find it from somewhere.

I have no money, nothing. I feel terrible. Words can't express how I feel. Words are nothing compared to my feelings at the moment. Any day now, I'm right on the edge and I'm going to jump, taking my own life with me. One other hope I've got left is The Palace Bar again. I'm not sure I really want to go they're again, but I honestly don't have any more suggestions to earning money. And personally I don't have the energy to think. I need a good night's sleep where I'm not waking up every 10 minutes, scared, cold and hungry.

I begin to think to myself, as I always did when passing men, make sure your shirts pulled up, make sure you are not moving your hips too much when you walk, and do not make eye contact with them. As they got closer and closer I felt my heart beat harder and harder. I could feel their eyes glaring at me almost undressing me with their gaze as I passed. I prayed this time they would let me pass without any vulgar comments.…
