The Little Things

Nevertheless they can be taught with love, guidance, nurture, and patience. I valued the passion of helping kids when permitted to do so. I always knew that I wanted to have a child in the future. I wanted to get the chance to experience other things before becoming a mother. However, it never really dawned on me until my nephew was born how important being a mother was to me. My nephew taught me to what it takes to be responsible for someone else that is dependent on me. I now know how to…

February 3, 2014. I was getting on the school bus like any regular day when I received a text from my mom like usual. I expected a casual ‘how was school?’ or ‘Love you, hope you had a great day.’ But it was far from that. My little sister Kennedy had not been feeling well, a little under the weather. This was typical from our family since it seems someone always gets sick in the winter. You could tell she was weak, losing weight, and becoming increasingly thirsty, but no one expected what was…

honest answer is that yes I do feel down from time to time but it is never longer than 5 minutes. Even when my family is not the type of family that can give a random stranger money and not be at all worried about paying any bills. I never think about things like that because there is nothing that I could do make my family the wealthiest family on Earth. So my question to you is “why be upset about something if you can’t do anything about it?” my next question is “if you can do something about…

ago. He said, “Brooke your whole life we have been teaching you to deal with the little things which is why you don’t stress them so much, why do you think when you are going through something we talk it out and then go back to it a few days later.” I never had thought about until that moment when we were discussing it but he is absolutely right. Thanks to their guidance and help I really don’t stress little things I talk them out and move on. Talking is our greatest form of therapy and as a…

was driving to school. Everyone says your life flashes before your eyes when you have a near death experience. I don’t believe that. In five short seconds, from the time the door opened until it closed in my face, I must’ve remembered hundreds of things that I had experienced growing up. I couldn’t think of anything more but my family. I remembered always wanting to play softball with one of my…

I feel like we practice this more in our history classes we learn of what these great people did for America and all the things they had accomplished and we honor them by teaching about them and the importance of them. Now others may have had more achievements than some, but when a friend of yours gets a high test grade we don 't discourage them we celebrate and say good job…

In Raymond Carver’s “Little Things” he shows us the struggles we deal with in life. The symbol of the baby, which can be taken literally or figuratively depending on the reader. His use of simple vocabulary makes it easy to read and understand. The details make it easy for the reader to relate to the characters in the story. Some people will read “Little Things” and pick out every detail and analyze it trying to find the true meaning behind his words. However, I believe he wrote this story in…

The Little Things “Mama, why are we leaving?” I kept asking her that same unanswered question since we won those glossy, olive airplane tickets. But today, that question was soon going to be answered. I had woken up with a distressed gaze on my face, because I knew it was the day I was leaving my home, Halych, Ukraine. I didn’t get up right away like I always did, instead I just stared at the ceiling, walls and the furniture in my room; examining the florid wallpaper, the life-size Barbie doll…

the smallest things. Raymond Carver write's, " Little Things" and portrays a real example of a couple in a disagreement with symbolism. The symbolism allows the reader to have a visual of people who are together that find some of the smallest things to argue about that turns into something much bigger. Carver does a good job of showing the repercussions when the smaller things get to someone rather than letting it go. Life becomes simpler when the arguing of simple, pointless things is reduced…
