Mother insult

Driving home from the hospital, you realise you’ve never had a more exhausting week. You’ve driven this road so many times lately, but never like this. You rest your head back while the light is red. ’Pretty intense week, Huh?’ John reaches over and gives your hand a squeeze. ‘I’ve hardly seen you. It doesn’t feel fair. I get to just lie there resting and being looked after while you are flat out running from one end of town to the other. Not to mention all those sessions with the nurses. What…

find banners everywhere. I lived in Washington D.C., so we cared a lot about terrorists’ attacks. All day, we talked about the attacks. I loved learning about history and current events, but these attacks were always hard for me to talk about. My mother was in the military, which is why we lived in D.C. She received orders to go to France to help with the refugees. Two days after she arrived, she was murdered by someone in the group who was part of these attacks. “Hey, how are you holding up?”…

The sound of heavy pots crashing down from the woodstove awoke the weary members of the Kozlovsky family. Their scanty one-room log cabin managed to accommodate seven people but at the cost of any kind of privacy. Tatyana, the mother and steadfast backbone of the family, would remind her children that their father built this cabin with his own hands and without him, they would have no home. The thunderous clanking of pots continued, and even caused the nearby Petrovs to stir, but half of the…

horn behind her. The lights outside her window start to look like a flashes of color as her speed gradually increases. Her mind runs back to the conversation she had with Tom. “Yeah, about that, when is your last day of work? This is not a visit, my mother is moving in,” She hears her mother’s voice, “do not let anyone interfere with your marriage.” This is exactly what Betty is doing. I can understand her moving closer, but to move in. That is another story. She is now all worked up again.…

Catholic faith, it seemed like God and Satan were playing a game of tennis and your father was the ball; and the winner got to take him. Either to live with you, your little sister Carly who was now eight, but you still thought of her as a baby, and your mother; or he went with Satan. Your house was only 10 blocks from where the Twin Towers stood. It was one of the only houses that hadn’t had any damage even come near it. You guessed that if one thing went good, that another thing would have to…

“The only love that I really believe in is a mother 's love for her children”. I agree with this quote, because it states how much a mother loves their child. She was named Clara, after her mother whose name was Clara Morales. Many people say we are both identical, but I don’t agree what so ever. One thing is that I do agree that we have our similarities, but we’re not the same. For example, Clara has a type of vibrancy that she and I share. Her eyes even make you see your future, because you…

they use to be. I kept thinking about my little sister and how she and I would grow up without a father. I wasn 't sure how we would spend time with both our parents and who would we spend the holidays with. I wasn 't myself for a while, sometimes my mother would take me out to help me forget, at least for a little, however once we got to the place she would take me, usually the park, I would bust out in tears. I would ask her “Why? Why must you guys leave each other?” She would tell me in her…

Again the long car ride doesn 't help my nerves but I am ready to embrace all school has to offer me. My mother and I have to arrive early to do a little more paperwork before I can enter school, so we enter the same office from the day before and just as we enter a bell rings. I shake as I hear this thinking I am going to be late on my first day of school…

While in the Trading Post Thomas said, “I heard it on the wind. I heard it from the birds. I felt it in the sunlight. Also, your mother was just here crying” (182). This quote appears as if it is just cute humor of the men’s shared heritage. However, it is also an indication that Thomas received a prophetic story. Here Alexie uses specific sentence structures and wording to provide…
