    “Mrs. Caldera’s House of Things” and the narrative from “Memoria ex Machina” reveal that possessions bring back fond memories of a person’s life. In Passage I, Mrs. Caldera keeps many useless objects that are cluttering her house. The author states, “She is humming a song from childhood, her arms are heavy and strong they have held babies, a husband, tractor parts and gas tanks, what have they not found a place for?” These objects are important to her because they give her comfort, happiness, and remind of her of the past times she loved. The author states, “‘Stay awhile,’ Mrs. Caldera says, and never have you felt so valuable.” Mrs. Caldera considers the items she keeps as precious and valuable;…

    She gave it to my mother and then when I was in middle school my mom gave it to me. The book was called a drop of trees and it was true story about a girl who lived in the desert. When I came to the U.S, I took this book with me along with other books because it remands me of my mother. I think it would be nice to take something that reminds us of our families and loved ones. I think it is a nice tradition.…

    So, I have escaped. I honestly don’t have anything to journal about. Everything is over, and I just arrived at the airport. I am waiting to be picked up at the airport. One really weird thing happened though. When I was on my phone, my good friend Wilmer Hampton, texted me that he would show something to me when I got home. I was beside myself with curiosity and excitement, so I patiently, well, maybe not so patiently, waiting for the taxi to come to pick me up to go to my house. I am trying to speculate what it is. Is it a “you survived South Korea” present. Is it a funny meme that I didn’t get at South Korea? I can’t figure it out, the suspense is killing me.…

    In the novel The Things They Carried, by Tim O'Brien, soldiers would do just about anything to stay sane and alive during the Vietnam War. Some men would have carried things with them during the war. These same men would carry things to remind them of home, others would carry an item to help them feel better during their hardships. What these men carried was something to hold onto, moreover not an item but of a memory or a dream. Soldiers would do just about anything to stay sane and alive during the Vietnam War. I also have items that I would feel wrong without; these items are symbols of me.…

    Prester John

    • 5 Pages

    The legends of Prester John (also Presbyter Johannes) were popular in Europe from the 12th through the 17th centuries, and told of a Christian patriarch and king said to rule over a Christian nation lost amidst the Muslims and pagans in the Orient. Written accounts of this kingdom are variegated collections of medieval popular fantasy. Prester John was reportedly a descendant of one of the Three Magi, said to be a generous ruler and a virtuous man, presiding over a realm full of riches and strange creatures, in which the Patriarch of the Saint Thomas Christians resided. His kingdom contained such marvels as the Gates of Alexander and the Fountain of Youth, and even bordered the Earthly Paradise. Among his treasures was a mirror through which every province could be seen, the fabled original from which the "speculum literature" of the late Middle Ages and Renaissance was derived, in which the prince's realms were surveyed and his duties laid out.…

    Many people would say family is the most valuable asset in life, but others find higher value in more materialistic items. The Egyptians stored their valuables, even after death, ranging from crowns to organs. An individual has the choice of whether a bauble is worth more than the quality of how they live their life. Some people around the world may not want to live a materialistic life, but a family-focused life.

    It takes up about two inches on my thick, and short middle finger. It is relatively small, yet has been proven to have great importance and meaning. This dented, imperfect circle fits loosely, and comfortably which allows for the constant usage and handling. It has a unique, and undefined shape that compliments the small circles within the accessory. There is a band of a perfect line of small circles that runs infinite in the exact middle of the accessory. The thirteen small circles sit in the small seats of metal all in unison and order. Sharp, pointed tips that look like the top of a vintage castle, pull the pendants on the outsides of the line, up and back down. If you cut the jewel in half, the sides are symmetrical with equal amount of points and dots. A tight grasp of the pointed edges are painful from the sharp and definite tips. Running your fingers over the piece, feels of rough sand paper rubbing on a wall. It shines bright and sparkly, which catches the attention from many eyes’ including my very own. However, on the inside, the real, steel metal has grown rugged, and dirty from over use, and age. It’s smooth outer covering has worn off, and the whole inside has thinned. It leaves a mark, and patch of dry skin where it lays on my finger every day and night. It smells of the sandwich I had today for lunch, since it is always there when my fingers are supporting my food. Also, smells of the decaying metal after it has been washed under the soapy, warm water. It’s small size and lightweight does not determine it’s meaning to me. In fact, despite the petite appearance it has a large, underlying sentimental theme to my life. I have never owned such a delicate, and special piece in my long 16 years of living. According to my mother, this was due to lack of responsibility and maturity. She could never trust me to guard such a remarkable diamond and actually understand the significance until the night that marked my transformation…
