The Orphanage
The intimidating building brought terror through the walls. Moist beds from the children’s room from the endless nights of unnerving thoughts. The house represented nothing else but desperateness and loneliness.
Happiness.
The children will never achieve happiness. The house was distracting to all parents. The dull, dark walls took away the light from the depressed kids. It was like the light gave hope like a endless tunnel of loneliness with a spark of light at the end of the tunnel.
The obnoxious kids was never going to get love from a parent, they weren’t good enough, smart enough for love. But the only way to leave the place of loneliness was to have a person you loves you for who you are, the carers never gave that to them. The children were stuck in a draught of thoughts of happiness.
Night time in the orphanage time is the worst. The sun went down and the shadows scrawled in through the windows like a lion crawling for its prey. The house and the bushes outside were overgrown by the leafs. The branches were wrapping round the trees like a big hug from a loving parent which was ironic to the children inside.
Night time was also the time when most dreamt about their real parents. They were regretting there life, like it was their fault they’re in a cave of loneliness.
As soon as the sun went up the children’s hopes went up and their dreams became possible, until the carer came in and blocked the sun with his body. Reality came in like a wrecking ball to hit the kids with loneliness.
The house suffered in pain, the loneliness never left.
No wonder the children were never happy, the carers never gave them the feeling of a true home. They never received the warmth of a mother being their or their father’s companionship within them. It was like a minute they had something nice in their life then reality came them a big wakeup call like when chilly wave crashes over your face and build goose bumps on your skin.

    It was a big, sad, two-storey affair in a garden full of fruit trees…Here and there weatherboards peeled away from the walls and protruded like lifting scabs, but there was still enough white paint on the place to give it a grand air and it seemed to lord it above the other houses in the street which were modest little red brick and tin cottages.…

    However, while living with her parents she understands that here her dream is not going to come true. The author 's present house contrasts with the house of her dream: "It 's small and red with tight steps in front and windows so small you 'd think they are holding their breath.

    As a memoir, this is truly unique. It must have taken tremendous effort to write this often painful recollection of your own life. Yet, the exercise of exploring the dynamics of such a dysfunctional family, and the parental unit as a separate entity analyzed by a daughter, had to be a revelation and a healing experience. One merit of the work is the strength of character bred into these children, celebrated and seen in…

But in the Houses of the Robinson’s, the Ware’s, and the Lester’s none of this joy was happening, and there were no kids waking up the parents wanting to open their presents. Instead, there were tears and frantic calls to the police and 911 and to everyone they know around town because the kids were missing.Everything in the houses looks normal, no signs that they had gotten kidnaped or that they had run away.

    A melody is heard, played upon a flute. It is small and fine, telling of grass and trees and the horizon. The curtain rises. Before us is the Salesman’s house. We are aware of towering, angular shapes behind it, surrounding it on all sides. Only the blue light of the sky falls upon the house and forestage; the surrounding area shows an angry glow of orange. As more light appears, we see a solid vault of apartment houses around the small, fragile-seeming home. An air of the dream clings to the place, a dream rising out of reality. The kitchen at center seems actual enough, for there is a kitchen table with three chairs, and a refrigerator. But no other fixtures are seen. At the back of the kitchen there is a draped entrance, which leads to the living room . . .…

    The narrator, Amanda Coyne, begins her essay from the mother’s perspective. She describes herself visiting her sister in Federal Prison Camp with her nephew. The story is focused on the relationship of separated children and their imprisoned mothers. The narrator describes the mother’s unusual response to their children in regards to the smell of the flowers bouquet.

The use of a brief narrative to describe kids shows a bit of resentment children.…

    The story, written in the form of a letter, shows the process of a thirteen-year-old girl becoming more mature as she expresses her grievances from her tragic childhood. At the beginning of the story, she described both the emotional and physical difficulties her family suffered through because of the absence of her father. She felt lonely, insecure and confused as she hoped that her father would come back. “Sometimes I had bad dreams. I would dream the welfare took us away and no one missed us, not even mommy. Daddy where were you?” (Page 163) At the end of the letter, however, the girl started to understand that her view of the world before was unbalanced and incomplete, “through a thin veil full of small holes”. (Page 165) She felt more released and started to notice “the greatness of the world”. (Page 165) She began to treasure all the memories she had with her family instead of thinking about her misery all the time, “we carried on living.” (Page 165) There was a great transition of her character from the beginning to the end of the letter.…
