    Refugee's Bag: A Character Analysis

    After watching a movie about war, or any other scary movies, have you ever imagined yourself in the position of a character? A lot of people make comments like: “I would do this instead of that! Why is he so foolish, and did not run away in the opposite direction?”. I am pretty sure that some of you had reactions like that. We are all different. People react to the same situation in many ways. Some people better in stress, emergency situations, and some are simply not. In the article, entitled “What’s in a Refugee’s Bag? See What People Carry as They Flee” which was written by Adele Peters, people share about possessions in their opinion are important to take with you in case of emergency, or when you have limited time to pack, and you have…

With the deftness of a big cat prowling an African savannah, as silently as possible, Roger Nelson sauntered with great care along the side of the house to the front. But when he checked for the lookout, to his surprise, he was not there. He had deserted his post and the door was unguarded and open. Great! Roger thought. He was pleased at this turn of good luck for his mental gifts were noticeably and inexplicably compromised.…

    Personal Narrative Essay: The Memphis Sanitation Worker

    I repeated these words to myself as I looked in the mirror wondering how I could tell Yolanda, Martin, Dexter, and sweet little Bernice… Oh, Bernice! She had just turned five less than a month ago. How could I tell them their beloved father has been shot? How will they understand? Yolanda was the oldest and the wisest. There is no way I could sugarcoat this. I slumped down behind the bathroom door and took a deep breath. What originally began as a day filled with strength, service, and self-reliance had now ended filled with despair, disbelief, and damage.…

    Dumpster Diving Essay

    It is common for people to throw away belongings that were once important to them. This is because our society has a tendency to be wasteful. In the essays “The Town Dump” by Wallace Stegner, “On Dumpster Diving” by Lars Eighner, and “The Town Dump” by Howard Nemerov, the authors all display their opinions when it comes to the topic of value, and items that have been thrown away. Through the use of imagery, the three authors depict their attitudes towards the idea that one man’s trash may or may not be another man’s treasure. Therefore showing that every object can have a value to a person that others see as invaluable.…

    Letter To The Outsiders

    Dear Megan, I am currently reading the book The Outsiders, and while reading I concluded that it would be the perfect fit for you. I have known you for the greater part of my life and you have been in all of my reading/LA classes (up until this year), therefore, I know what kind of books you enjoy and I expect this would be one of them. I trust you would enjoy this book because it has segregation, high stakes, and strong friends and family bonds. I know these are specific qualities that you have enjoyed in previous books, so based on this I believe you should give this one a try! Now before I tell you to just go on and read it, I feel it is necessary for me to give you some background knowledge about this book. The Outsiders features…

    Literary Letter-Mice and Men

    Of Mice and Men was well written by Steinbeck and portrayed the lives of two men trying to create themselves a perfect life. It was a bit confusing as the story started out because one did not know as much about the characters and the background they came from and after reading the book one still does not know completely know the characters as well unlike Farewell to Arms or other books which give a good description of the characters before the main setting of the book and tell the readers where they’ve come from. What I found unusual about the book was Lennie following every command of George. Lennie’s tremendous size over George should have made him control over George. Yet he obeyed every command of George including the part where George told Lennie to go jump in the water which nearly drowned him. Another peculiar topic about the Book that I had encountered was Lennie’s low self-control. He has no control over his actions and preventing him from doing major harm was George who was not with him when Lennie played around with the woman in the red dress that resulted in their banishment and the death of Curley’s wife. The Use of Steinbeck’s language made the story entertaining because it was simple and kept the reader focused in on the story. I felt hatred for George controlling Lennie like a mind-puppet yet pity for Lennie because without George he would have done far more worse things.…

    Dad Narrative

    Once again, I found myself wandering through the uncomfortable, brightly lit halls of the hospital. I was to find the room where my father was, an all too familiar task. "Room 443", I was told by my mother who had requested me to take my dad back to his apartment. Upon entering the elevator I let out a sigh of apprehension and turned to wearily push the button labeled "4". Whiffs of disinfectant products meandered themselves inside my nose while I looked around to see egg-white walls and nurses shuffling about in their bright, floral print scrubs. One of them approached me with a kind smile. "May I help you?" I briefly responded saying I needed to find my father, Charles Jolitz. "Go down the hall. He's in the last room on the left." Slowly making my way to the door, I speculated about what had happened to my dad this time. I entered the room thinking to myself, "Boy, he looks worse every time.", his salt and pepper hair ruffled, beard unshaven and a look of loss on his face. Though as soon as his eyes met mine, that face lit up and the corners of his mouth upturned into a smile. "My chickadee!", he exclaimed. I asked him how he was feeling and if it was time to go as the nurse carted in a wheelchair. All three of us made our way down to the lobby exchanging small talk. I dashed to my car, happy to be out of the dreariness that is a hospital. I hoped he would tell me why he was there yet again. Once in the car, he told me in a few words that he had had another episode due to taking his pain medication with a fifth of vodka and had lost control. He ended up dialing 911. My dad hurriedly changed the subject asking if I was hungry and if I would like to go have a burger. I let out another sigh. "I'm sorry, Dad. I'm not hungry, I've already eaten but I can take you to get one. We can go for lunch later this week." "Alright, sweetie.", said he. We arrived at his apartment complex and I walked him to his…
