Descriptive Essay: Josh Kincaid's Life
Josh Kincaid had been the apple of his family's eye, and expected to make his mark on the world. Lone child of a Physician Father, and Nurse Mother, it had been presumed the young Josh would follow in the Patriarch's footsteps, and pursue the field of medicine. The teenage boy, with bright intelligence, had breezed through high-school, encountering a little trouble here and there - he'd always possessed wild streak, something his parents put down to boredom, due to the classwork not being challenging enough -, but nothing major. Disrupting classes, smoking cigarettes, and partaking in illicit substances from time to time.

During his senior year, his interests had turned more from the fields of biology, human anatomy, and medicine, to the sciences,

Someone snitched; he'd never discovered who; and retribution had been swift. His place at the school had been rescinded immediately, and he was escorted from the premises on the same day. The only bright light was that the College was a prestigious one, with a reputation to protect, and the authorities were not called in. However, his parents had been informed, and to say that their subsequent reunion did not go well, would be a gross understatement. Josh hadn't seen either of them for nine years, and they probably wouldn't have recognised him if they ran into each other on the …show more content…
It was time to meet his contact, then head over to his usual haunt - a seedy club named Pandora's, only a short distance from his residence, whose owner he'd known for almost a decade - to earn some cash. He could have had someone make the sales on his behalf, but Josh enjoyed the social aspect of doing it himself, and the free pussy which was always on offer. Not normally the type of girls you'd take home to meet your Mother, but occasionally you got a hot, little rich-bitch looking for some

Hamilton is a Major league baseball player who now plays for the Texas Rangers and was named MVP two short season’s ago. Josh is a premier center fielder and the captain of his team, for the average person you may think Mr.Hamiliton lives the ordinary life of a sports star , the pretty women , fancy cars , huge house’s and the six figure pay checks. Even though this may be true, living an everyday lifestyle was extremely difficult for Josh throughout his whole life , you would think someone who is so well respected and idolized by many fans throughout the world would try to live up to his expectations, but that was not the case for Josh , he was addicted to cocaine and struggled with many other addictions such as alcoholism and having anger issues with his loved ones. Josh wrote this book to express his feelings and give readers a point of view on how thing’s may not also be the same as it seems. So next time you judge someone just by their appearance, financial situation or even idolizing someone just by the way they perform a certain thing, you might want to think that over.…

    Jamaica Kincaid, born Elaine Cynthia Potter, has clearly never been content with accepting the world as presented to her. She changed her name, as she felt it wasn’t representative of her origins or the history of her bloodline. Moreover, her name wasn’t the only name she had a problem with; in her passage,”In History,” she undertakes the enormous task of demolishing and reestablishing our understanding of the names we encounter on a daily basis. Through intentionally withholding information and repetition, she takes apart our traditionally accepted, racially constructed worldview piece by piece, replacing it with the rarely explored truths of what naming does to a people and to a place.…

    I once lived an American Dream in Midwest America through the vision of a perfect stranger who went on to become my soul friend. He used to live in a tiny town called Perham in Minnesota. The town had a population of only 1,000 people at that time (this was in 1990). He was a typical American jock. He used to love everything his country could offer a rowdy all American white boy: blonde women, fast food, fast cars, American football, beer, and the chance to pick up fights at college fraternity parties. He was full of American capitalism. His name was James Scott Morris. I fondly called him, Jimmy boy.…

    Evan was eight now. Nothing was going well for him. He just didn’t get anything. This was his third time in the first grade! In Puerto Rico, where we used to live, we had a special children’s class for kids who didn’t understand things as well. My parents died of illegal drugs so I’m supposed to be in an orphanage with my brother, but mom and dad were always high anyway. I was used to caring for my family by then. Even when I was little I was the responsible adult in the family. So I was the one to go and talk to the school about it. They said that the school couldn’t afford a class like that. But I kept trying to help my brother. He may’ve seemed dull and a nuisance to some people, but to me, and anyone else who understands him, he is just a sweet, caring, polite little kid trying to have some fun.…

    When Josh bullies the year seen boy unnecessarily and Andrew allows it to happen when he could intervene Andrew is also guilty. Andrew did not intervene when josh destroyed the religion teacher’s personal photo. Andrew did not intervene when josh bashed and robbed the pizza delivery boy. Andrew allowed josh to drug him with beer and whiskey, which enables josh to seduce Melanie. Throughout the book Andrew continues to allow both Josh’s to control him and to manipulate and to deceive many people. In the alternate world bad Josh has more power because in that universe/parallel world there are fewer controls on peoples beastliness. Andrew watches as Josh randomly attacks a teenager at Kings Cross, smashing his face in with knuckle-dusters, bad Josh called that an ‘announcement’ of the HallBoys. My Josh said the same thing when he bashed the year 7 boy at school. He has said that it was also an announcement to watch out. Both joshes use violence and intimidation and emotional manipulation to control people. Josh uses Andrew, he calls him ‘buddy’, and he invites him to things like the party and holidays. Josh puts on a mask on concern and interest for Andrews life; but actually uses him for his own game. In this way Josh is similar to Carl Denham. Bad Josh is significantly more violent. It is through understanding the violence of bad Josh that Andrew begins to take responsibility for his own actions. Andrew starts to plan how he can stop bad Josh from killing many more people when he attacks the inner station. This results in Andrews attempt to kill ‘My Josh’ through drugging his…

Fortunately, he can usually count on Rowdy to defend him from the bullies.

He ends up making friends with many of them, the closest of them being a boy named Gordy.…
