In My Eyes

What Is Vision People think that without vision you can't see the beautiful things around you. But our eyes isn't the only way to see things, I think that we can use our imagination to see the things around us and a lot of us don’t realize that. In Emily Dickinson's poems, “We grow accustomed to the dark” and “Before I got my eye put out” she writes about how not having vision isn’t a bad thing, unless you have your imagination. In the poem, “Before I got my eye put out” Dickinson writes about if she loses her sight it would be better because she has her imagination and her mind to help her see and doing will she wouldn't be able to see all the bad things in the world, she would only see what she wants. She feels that it is safer to see…

Immediately, 4 other men jumped out and pointed their gun at me. My eyes widen, I was outnumbered and Ken never taught me how to shoot a gun. I smiled to myself, I guess this is it. “TAMURA, DUCK, NANODAYO!” I dropped to the ground as the 4 men were shot at their legs and fell to the ground. Guards dragged them away as the rainbow hair color gang appear and Akashi grabbed me, “You dumbass! I told you stay in the carriage! Do you know how dangerous that was! It doesn't matter if you can fight,…

shoo them out, someone to put their foot down and say: “Get out of here, you stinkin’ night!”. The thing is that I probably wasn’t alone, I could feel it. The rustling of the bushes, the cold breeze making my hair stand on end. My breath was sparse, and I was begging in my mind that they won’t come near. My dark hair was in my eyes, blocking my vision, but it didn’t matter because my eyes were shut as tight as I could get them. “Don’t… come…. n-near,” I whispered half for self-comfort and half…

Williams My life had ended and begun all in one moment. I remember the day it all happened. Thick hot tears welled up in my eyes and I screamed. My Poppa whispered “Calm down, Cherelynn, you’ll be okay.” and I refused, arching my back in the overseer’s arms. Taking a swift kick to his face, I attempted to escape to no avail. Other slaves that were stuffed in the crowded pen began to grab at the overseer’s arms. A warning shot was fired into the air and that of which followed was a silence…

Blanche, My dear Blanche, I realise that you are not aware of this but when I look into your eyes my entire world fills with light. It is none other than you who becomes this light that effortlessly pulls me away from the darkness within my soul: my insecurity. Your glistening locks of hair along with your elegance and sheer grace are overwhelming, yet the love and adoration that I have for you does not falter. Your large, glowing eyes like lanterns to light my way when I become lost, are full…

the morning sunrise. I threw on some dark green riding clothes (because that’s my favorite color) and ran out the door. I walked the familiar path and I was almost at the stable when I heard footsteps making their way toward me. Without turning around I yelled, “Adrian I know you 're behind me!” The footsteps stopped, I heard a swish and before I could blink, Adrian was upside down hanging from the stable roof. He said “Hello Raven. Up for some horseback riding today?” I smiled, I never…

wonderous idea to me. So when my parents had told us that we were going to Cancun, Mexico I had very mixed emotions about the vacation. Being in Cancun, and feeling the warmth of the Sun, I was ecstatic for. But the almost 4 hour plane ride there and back was an agonizing thought. Currently, I’m walking through the air-bridge and onto the plane while on the verge of anxiety. While we were looking for a seat I noticed little five year olds sitting down and looking as if they…

character and health. He describes this in the opening pages through his letters to Elizabeth by saying “I must say also a few words to you, my dear cousin, of little darling William. I wish you could see him, he is very tall of his age, with sweet laughing blue eyes, dark eyelashes, and curling hair. When he smiles, two little dimples appear on each cheek, which are rosy with health”. This could therefore mean he wants William dead? He is jealous of Williams’s popularity. This is why he creates…

day, I have been constantly reminding myself that life is short and when death knocks on your door, you can’t really call 911 or do anything. Now my thoughts towards death and what happens after I die became more distressing and uncontrollable. I’ve come to…

The dusty debris clouded my feet as I moved through the ruins of the neighborhood. The pungent smell of the blood overwhelmed my nostrils, and my eyes watered partly from the effect of the dust and primarily from the overwhelming sadness and fury that warred inside of me. The once polished commercial buildings were wrecked; broken windows, crumbled pieces of the wall, and gang graffiti served as evidence of the disaster that struck this neighborhood. Silence ran throughout the area, and no human…
