Climb

It only took me a moment to climb to the top. Many other kids younger than I do the same thing I just did, but my overprotective dad thinks that I’ll fall off and break my neck. He would never let me do this, but he wasn’t looking. Scratch that, he was. He started running over calling at me to come down. My mom’s okay with it though. She’s taking pictures and I smile because this time, I’m in the mood. My dad on the other hand pulls me off. That pull could have broken my neck. Before he starts some rant about the dangers of rocks I ask “Mom, may I go climb the rocks over there?” pointing to more rocks that are as tall or taller than me that travel into a forest. These rocks are clearly more dangerous than the one I just climbed, but my mother encourages me to enjoy myself on this trip. Before my dad can say anything, I run over rocks that I know that he can’t go over as easily because of his…

I was ready to perform my task. My father assigned me regular tasks such as checking the water dripping in one of the suites and retrieving tools for him to do his job. But then he assigned me to climb up the ladder, and he told me, “You can do it,” although my brain told me otherwise. I decided to face my fear and was prepared to climb. My father climbed up first, and my brother, who had also joined us for work, followed him. A few seconds later, I had decided to follow my brother up the…

realized how much I changed. I walked into this school bright eyed and bushy tailed, into this new and querulous place, full of excitement and wonder. It never occurred to me that it would be any formidable, or could be any better. I was ready for just another year, same studying, same homework, but then we started getting into the swing of things. There I was, young and naïve, when this thing called reality picked up my text book and slapped me across the face as hard as it could. And guess…

Songs are storytellers of life. They often tell a narrative that portray human characteristics such as emotions, experiences, and personality that listeners can relate to in some way. These stories can evoke positive or negative emotions due to the experiences of the listener. Everyone has that one song that they feel as if it was written for them, the one that stands out and relates to who they are as a person; that song for me is “The Climb” by Miley Cyrus. This song expresses the struggles…

Everyone in life can be faced with a struggle that they may or may not overcome in the end. Miley Cyrus and Ray Bradbury both understand this universal concept, for they show it in their texts, “The Climb” and “All Summer in a Day”. In “The Climb” Miley Cyrus sings this beautiful song about her struggle of overcoming a metaphorical mountain. In “All Summer in a Day”, kids live on Venus with their family, where the weather is in a constant state of rain. In both “The Climb” and “All Summer in a…

It’s a given that the United States offers a wide variety of opportunity and liberties imperceptible in many city states and countries where homelessness, poverty and basic necessities are indispensable to the common people. But this doesn’t compensate for America’s incredible underestimated disparities that continuously segregate the poor from the rich. “Angela Whitiker’s Climb” is a perfect example; A poor, young black single mother living in the projects who managed to climb her way up to…
