Creative Writing: Annabel's Red
It was a day like every other in the busy city of Seattle. There were rain clouds above that made it gloomy. It looked like the perfect scene for a horror movie. Annabel "Red" Jackson was sitting in her room on this day listening to Stressed out by Twenty one pilots. The reason they call her "Red" is because she always has a red hoodie with a small heart right above her heart that she got from her grandmother on. No matter what the day is like. It could be one hundred degrees out and she would still have that red hoodie on. "Red?" Called her mother. "What mom?" She replied. "Your grandmother is sick and I need you to take her some soup to help her feel better." Said her mother. "It is raining out though. I don't want to get wet." Red replied to her mother. …show more content…
Since when has it not?" "True. I'll get my boots and my hoodie on and the. I'll walk over to her house. It takes Red about ten minutes to get ready. She puts some red rain boots on and her famous red hoodie. Her mother hands her a picnic basket with a red and white checkered cloth over it. "Do I really have to use this basket to take the soup to grandma?" Red complains. "Yes. The Tupperware that I put the soup in has to be upright or else it will spill. I figured that this would be the most convenient way to carry it. We also don't have anything else to carry it in so you will have to deal with this." Replies her mother. "Fine. I better get some major props for doing

    Red Scarf Girl Essay

    • 2346 Words
    • 10 Pages

    In the novel Red Scarf Girl, by Jiang Ji-li many bad things happen to Jiang Ji-li and her family. One such thing is Ji-li being put in a worse school just because she was in a certain neighborhood. This is very similar to the story of Zhao Lianhai, who spoke out against the government’s idea to force kids to drink tinted milk, which ended up killing at least 6 kids. Another example of bad thing going on in Ji-li’s life is when her teachers, who before were highly esteemed, can now no longer teach what they are supposed to. They can only teach what the communist party tells them to. This is similar to the story of Chinese dissident Tan Zuoren, who wrote and protested about an earthquake in 2008 that killed thousands of school children because of shoddy buildings not strong enough to stay up. And the last example is when Ji-li’s father, Lao Jiang was imprisoned for no reason other than a complete judgment call on his arresters. This story is in turn similar to the story of Gao Zhisheng, who was illegally arrested for taking the cases (he was a lawyer) of people that the Chinese government does not like. In all this it is clear to see that the Chinese government has kept its policy the same from the Cultural Revolution all the way up to modern times. And that they have been able to hold to such a cruel and strict regime goes to show that the Chinese Government is corrupt and does not care about their people.…

Surrounded by piles of kindling, she fought hard to maintain consciousness as the scorching hot sun mercilessly beamed down upon her weary head.

And like her two sisters before her, she would leave that place in a sea of fire.…

She grabbed my forearms and pulled me up with a jolt and snatched a plastic bag from the corner and stuffed what little clothes and toys I had in it. My own brown eyes were filled with tears, but I didn’t let them fall. She dragged me along as she moved and on her way out, she shut the door with a thunderous bang. Who would have thought that that was the last day I would ever see that little one room garage house again.…
