Imaginative Writing
Introduction
Wondering the day to day lives of people, the kid’s thoughts and feelings to see their father walk out the door. Do they ever wonder is this the last time I am going to see him. Mammie and Daddy have been fighting every day, no more smiles, no more family time, all you hear fighting words of anger no expression of love. Where did it all good. Mammie and Daddy only say don’t worry about it just go to your room everything is ok, but I’m little and I understand and wonder is it really ok?
What story comes to mind? What images come to mind?
There is no life, in this house anymore there is only silence, you can hear a pin drop. Not one clear indication

As a young girl time has passed and I am forced to live a double life. A thought of being that happy little girl to everyone around me and in the world, while I am drowning inside because it isn’t a nightmare Daddy is gone. Mommy tells me his decisions were not wise, and he chose things that were everything but what he should have considered priority and now here we are alone in this house, my Daddies voice can only be heard as the day that he said “I’ll see you later” and later never came.
He’s gone, the time we used to spend together has disappeared, who do I turn to, how do I figure out a way to fix what has happened, and is it because of me? Is it because I didn’t listen? Why did I have to break that plate that meant so much to Daddy to make him mad? Is that the reason why he left? Did he leave because he felt I wasn’t worthy of his recognition? Did he leave because I mommy told him I didn’t listen? Did Mommy really tell daddy, that the stains on the wall came from me because I was mad that daddy and mommy were always

I don’t want to grow up without you. Please Daddy, please, do not be a memory. Be my future, be my daddy, to see me graduate from kindergarten, from high school. Take me to my prom, daddy please come back please… I don’t want to share these moments without you. Daddy, I miss you. I love you ….Mommy please, talk to him convince him to come home. Explain to him how much I love him, how much I miss him. Mommy you love me right? You said you would always protect me. That you would never let anything or anyone hurt me. Mommy please, you don’t understand I miss my daddy. Please don’t make me grow up without him in my life….
What dialogue is taking place in the story among the characters?
The dialogue taking place around story is the day to day life of so many young children, regardless of biological, adoptive or stepparent. The feelings and emotions of children regardless of age, the time that has passed. No one can really express what a child really is feeling but the child in the situation. Child expression regardless of age and encountering the separation of their parents, the feeling of guilt a child feels when they feel as if the situation is their fault based on an incorrect action.
Consider what might have happened before or what might have happened

    Those milkshakes were my childhood with you. To this day, everytime I drink a Chik-Fil-A milkshake I remember our relationship that we used to have, the endless laughs and good conversations we would have while having competitions of who could drink it the fastest. I still remember you telling me that regardless of how sweet the milkshake was, your love would always be sweeter. Those milkshakes symbolized the dad that was always proud of me and loved me through every situation and the dad that was my biggest cheerleader. But as I have grown up, you have become more and more a distant figure in my life and someone that I know I will never be good enough for. Dad, I know that every time I try to speak to you, it's never good enough. If I tell you I did something good, you ask why I didn’t do another thing better. As much as you don’t see the effects of your careless words, they have affected me in ways you will never understand. I beat myself up emotionally because I constantly wonder what I have done to make our relationship like this. I emotionally have the burden of wanting to be enough for the person that is always supposed to love and support…

    In this memoir, the author chooses to have two narrators, himself as one, and his mother as the other. This style makes for quite an interesting story, skipping back and forth in time, from the child's life, to that of his mother. Although many time changes occur, they are quite easy to keep up with, as the two narrator's of the book, James, and his mother, alternate chapters. For this reason, it is also very easy to compare the childhood of each of the main characters. Although the chapters aren't always during the same time periods of the respective characters, they are close enough that similarities can be seen, and parallels can be drawn. This is one of my favorite parts of the novel, seeing the main character, James, grow up with his mother Rachel.…

    The scalding screech of the snow stretched out in an endless fog. The weather has remained a thick blanket of snow for the last week or so, and our food rations were painstakingly low. We’ve been traveling for 93 hunbs already, and we still haven’t reached suitable location for settling. As I sit here near the flicker of the magikó fos that has kept our thawj warm, lit the night and protected us from the dangerous trómoi of the wild, I stared out into the night sky and subconsciously reverted back to that night, the night. . . .I remember every vivid detail, from the shouts of defiance to the threats and insults, screamed without a second thought. The split. Half of us headed one way, the other another. The night where the decision…

Hazel Weatherfield got shot in the leg, but still somehow managed to fend off a mob of gangsters with an empty revolver. Of course, I found that impossible. My mother eventually to see me, along with the Phoebe and D.B. We had a long talk, and I don't feel much like talking about it. I remember she started crying at one point. I got up and gave her a hug. D.B. and Phoebe joined in quick. It was the least phony thing you could imagine. I told her that everything would be fine, and that we were all here, Allie too. That made her smile. She looked me in the eyes then kissed me on the cheek. She was still crying, but I swear they were tears of joy. What troubled me though was that Dad wasn't there. He's never there for these rare moments. That worried me a little bit. I felt like I should have worried about it, or at least pretended to worry about it, but I didn’'t. Come to think of it, Dad is hardly on my mind nowadays. He's on my mind even less that he used to be when we were normally together, and that was pretty low. Don't ask me why, because I can't explain…

    One Saturday night I awoke to a noise coming from my mothers bedroom, so I got up out my bed to see what was up. I saw my mother so I asked her what’s going on and she responded, “Baby girl I want you to do mommy a favor, I want you to go to your room and shut your door until I come and get you. I love you princess don’t never forget that.” Of course I did what my mother told me to do because I loved and I trusted her. I went to my room not knowing what was going on and I sat there until she came to get me. I waited hours and hours and she never came, I just knew she was coming. Several hours later, I hear a knock at the door. I yell her name to tell her to answer the door but she didn’t respond. Not knowing what to expect, I went to her room and didn’t see her. Her clothes where still there, things were every where, but her favorite bracelet was still on her dresser. The bracelet is what I made her when I was at school for Mother’s Day. I yelled all over the house “Mommy!” No response.…

    While I walked behind him I saw an icecream stand. I pooled the man by his shirt and said: „Daddy, can I have some icecrem. Pretty please.“ with a sparkly look in my eyes. The man, who I was convinced was my dad, turned to me and said: „ Are you talking to me? I'm not your daddy. You must be lost.“ He patted my shoulder and walked away. And there was I standing confused, all alone next to hundreds of people passing by. My sight was getting blury as my tears were starting to collect in my eyes. I sat on a bench and cryed. Nobody cared, nobody turned to help. People can be so careless sometimes.…

    Mothers Love

    Back then, I have never appreciated the love that my mom always gave me, not because I don’t love her, but because I always take her for granted. I don’t always appreciate the love she’s giving me most of the time. I don’t tell her “thank you” or “I love you” half as much as I should be telling. I’ve found that I put more energy into relationship that aren’t as important as the one I have with who gave me life and raised me to be the person today. The kitchen is where my mom and I grew a strong Mother and son bond. I always see my mom in the kitchen cooking food for me. She would tell me “I’ve been waiting for you, come on let's go eat!” or Don’t forget to eat your vegetables!” The kitchen is where my mom mostly spend the rest of her day off on. She would watch videos of cooking shows and call her friends for a recipe. Once she's finished, she would go to the kitchen and mingle around in the fridge to see if there's anything to cook. Once she starts cooking, she imagine herself being a host in a cooking show, which I’ve always find funny about my mom.…
