Jab

At the age of 6 I can remember very vividly, my first fight. My oldest and favorite foster brother whose name was Eddie, took me and Lajon, my foster brother, downstairs to the basement of our house for a very important “life lesson”. The teaching on that day was, “How to defend yourself”. I don’t remember any physical altercations before this day. I also will never forget this day. Lajon and I were the closest in age. He was seven and I was six. We were also close in size in a house of ten…

The fight just ended in a TKO. I started the fight with a couple jabs from the left to fly up with a right handed uppercut. He didn’t see it coming, he got about 7 hits landed, I had 27 landed and about 30 swung. I hit him in the right temple and that’s what caught him stumbling. His 7 or so hits weren’t even hard either he just wanted to get me to back up but I just kept going. When i was finished with him i went back to the changing room to destroy it and leave, we went in there and…

professorial, and you attempt to come across that way, you will do nothing more than be verbose. Also, action is always better than telling the reader what's happening. "He stood dazed, blood falling from his nose, not sure he could take another right jab," is a lot more graphic than, "He was punched and his swollen nose bled." The first sentence is longer and I don't want anyone to think I am…

good qualities but those are my most influential qualities that stand out. I am generally a nice person just don’t get on my bad side and also never take my jokes and sarcasm to heart because it’s just me being sarcastic and throwing jabs it was how I grew up throwing jabs back and forth with friends and enemy’s both literally and figuratively. A movie I have watched in the past three months that I like best well I would say Grandma’s Boy on Netflix. It’s a classic and can make me laugh every…

up, and take up my job of making sandwiches and feeding kids.” Although he did not mean this literally, it was a jab at my equality in the relationship; a primitive reminder that I would be a “lesser” opinion in the relationship. In reality, I was a vibrant student who had better grades than him, and was even a grade level ahead of him after he failed twice. But because he knew his jab would work, it always affected me terribly. Often I would feel inferior and unworthy of speaking up. Of course,…

mouths and even their noses are stuffed with some sawdust so they suffocate to death (if not already dead). This constant view of death that causes the soldiers to fight back like insensible animals. They used spades to butcher the enemy faces and jab bayonets into the backs of enemy’s who was too slow to get away from the bloodbath. Their cold-heartedness is contrasted with the reaction of the new recruits who cried and trembled out of fear . In the next quote after Paul sees this awful sight…

possession In this story, Murphy learns a lesson about how friends are a person’s most valuable possession. “Which is when Mikey comes barreling on stage from behind me, screaming, “He’s choking! He’s choking!” Then he grabs me around the waist and jabs his fists into my belly. I’ve been Heimliched! (Coville 7)” In this quote from the story it tells Murphy’s friend Mikey is very important to him because in this part of the story he saves his life. As well as it shows he is a good friend because…

When we watched Monty Python and the Holy Grail I noticed a few theme that the movie had touched on that interested me. So for it to have some themes being satirized in it is no surprise, but the ones i want to talk about are some very memorable jabs at previous examples of epics. The themes I will talk about is historical reference, supernatural elements, and king arthur’s court. The story is based in the middle ages before the Norman Conquest in England, they actually reference this by having…

along supposedly trying to stop the fight, but he ends up letting his friend Mercutio die. Then, filled with rage, he made it a personal goal to kill his new in-law kinsman, Tybalt. Wretched Romeo came along obviously wanting Tybalt to take the first jab so he himself won't be punished. Romeo got what he wants and “tried” to stop the fight and killed Tybalt after…

2007 ford focus. I have an extreme headache caused by my little sister from her obnoxiously singing Christmas music the whole way here. I tried to block it out and put my headphone on and take a nap but just as I got comfortable she would kick me or jab her overly large feet into my back. I would complain to my mom but she would just explain that she has the right to nap just as much as I do. We pulled up to the bed and breakfast. It looked like something that should be in movies, a little white…
