My first heart break was a result of writing my first narrative essay. I was in 5th grade and we were learning about the Gold Rush of 1849. We were told to write a story, in first person, about what the long journey may have been like for a child traveling with their family to California in hopes of “striking it rich.” The title of my essay was “Kitty’s Dream” but it turned out to be more of a nightmare for me. I was excited to do this homework. I had a whole week to finish this assignment…

This was an interesting class. There is a definite need and that need was expressed in that we need to pick up the level of conversation that we are having. The book mentions conversations that touch at the very fabric of humanity, something that is all encompassing, which if we are being honest religion fits perfectly.

interactions with people and family members. I guess, it’s a research journey for Slater to find out every truth about the male colleague called Skinner. She is nosy!

He points out that his ancestors did it and they were wise and only God is perfect and knows the truth, and…

The Truth in the Abyss When writing they say it is always best to tell the truth. I do not know who “they” are, but “they” seem to be vaguely arrogant, entirely omnipotent and the enforcers of way too many rules. That being said, the truth does not exist. Each person’s perspective of a situation is in and of itself a unique truth. My truth of that night is different than my mother’s. I will get to those truths, but first here is the beginning.

attempt to formulate a sentence with the word “truthful” in it. She looked up at me with inquiring eyes, asking, “What does ‘truth’ mean?” I tried to come up with a definition, something that would make sense. I realized that I couldn’t because truth is a word that had been, unquestionably, a part of my vocabulary my whole life. My mother always told me to tell the truth, and that’s how I learned it.
