Personal Narrative-World War I Lost Me
You may believe that our young age makes love unknown, but I chose Pretense opposed to feeling alone.

But when I laid my eyes on you, and for you my heart began to ache, you sparked a feeling of reminiscence, and our love was a risk I was willing to take.

A wonderful break it was from my persistent sorrow; we savored the joys of life along with the anticipation of a greater tomorrow.

Yet our demise gained speed as did my unwinding desire to write sad poetry.

Lies to be spoken, promises to be broken.

I lost you as you lost me; again I was presented with the sense of feeling lonely.

You replaced my bad habits and allowed me to finally confront the war in my mind.
I prevailed against my contenedor, causing it to be clear and refined.

However it was no matter;
…show more content…
Desolation used to consume me as I drank to forget, but now the grief of losing you burns my throat stronger than any regret.

I used to find comfort in my own self destruction, but now I feel lost without your sentiment acting as my obstruction.

I used to distract myself from the despair with lovers, but when I found you, we connected unlike the others.

Life wasn't about just getting by; happiness reigned with you by my side.

But now how can I cope with this great loss?
You've left me alone with these awful thoughts.

Pretense and I are still friends, and I will hold onto this thought of making amends.

I never needed Pretense for our love, no, it was true, and we must restore thereof.

Please consider this plea, and understand how much you truly mean to

    Life in the trenches was not how I imagined it would be. Instead of marching gloriously into Germany with limited amount of difficulties, as the guy at the recruiting office and my friends had promised me, I found myself stuck in the same muddy, wet, uncomfortable ditch since I arrived in France. There were no cheers from grateful citizens, no parties in my honour and no prizes to be won. Only the endless tedium of trench life, with its muddy surrounding, unburied bodies and uniforms covered in lice.…

    With ever story of victory, comes a drowning idea of failure. Throughout our live, these battles are fought, taking not only mental strength, but physical as well.

Her battle took place in April, of 2009, she went to the Suttee Delta hospital, in Antioch California for a doctor’s visit, for fear that something was wrong, during this visit she informed her doctor that she felt a not on her left breast.

    I was too inexperienced for the First War. I’m in the trenches between the borders of France and Germany. There were many soldiers lying dead on there. It was so wet, moist, and muddy that I saw many of them with necrosis and gangrene on their feet, due to keeping their foot on the trench’s filthy water. They said that this condition was so painful and agonizing that they were forced to amputate them to end the pain. Luckily, I wasn’t many of the soldiers with this infection. I hope you guys are okay, I might come back home alive til the war ends. Love you mom and…

    Pow! Right smack in my forehead crushing my skull. The metal baseball bat knocked in my skull. It was a warm sunny day in the middle of the summer. Joey, my brother, was hitting tennis balls over my house. Little 10 year old me was playing in the yard and my brother purposely pushed me far away so he wouldn’t hit me. Oh how I was a stupid little kid. I was intrigued by what he was doing so I started wandering over to like how not knowing little kids do. As I approached my brother he was so focused on himself that he did not see me. When I finally reached him he had just set up to hit another ball. He hits the ball, but on his back rotation, the bat makes contact with my head. I fell hard on the pavement. Before I went unconscious I heard my…

    The bloody plane was shot down…I was sleeping dreaming about a concoction of fish and chips and my home before the war. I lived on a farm, and I had my own horse…I miss him. My dad taught me how to ride when I was four; riding would provide me relief from school and farming. Anyways, I then I awoke to a storm of fire. The plane was literally sliced in two. I think the beastly enemy shot us down. Even though they shot us clean out of the sky, I wish to thank them and show some British manners to them because this island is beautiful. It has fruit, and the sights are more beautiful than anything back home. There are even pigs on the island that we could eat. Sadly, I thought myself alone until a booming noise thundered through the jungle. I was scared; I thought it was an earthquake, although I have never experienced one before.…

    I was marching knee deep in the mud of the trenches, hoping the war would cease, while knowing that that day would never come. Yet, when that day did come, I was reluctant to leave my post. Getting shipped back home, meant I could finally address the issues that I was ignoring. While I was in it for the long haul, I never allowed such thoughts to invade my fame of mind. I was so used to walking on egg shells that I had forgotten how to walk without worrying about possible land-mines under my soles. So, as the flood gates lowered, I realized that I was unable to enjoy the privilege of self pity. This part of my life was the trump card that made me fold, whether or not I had a convincing poker…

    This is Isaiah Carter. Today’s date is June 5th, 1944. I sit in the battleship waiting for the day to come. The D-Day which should be called. It was in a way devastating and depressing. The mix of feelings coming out of my heart that keeps beating like a car going 100 mph. I took out the old diary that I wrote back in 1898. Looking at the words, I wrote when I was eight. Man, life is really short to a kid who was born in this war era. Before, the actually landing on Normandy, a British general announced, “90 percent of their men expected to die in the landing.” I overheard them talking about this. I know this battle might be my last and on my tomb stone it will be written as Isaiah Carter 1890 - 1944 honorific African American soldier from…

    Crack! Another bolt of lightning stuck the war-torn ground not too far away from my trench. The small burst of light shined on the bolt lever of my rifle, giving me enough time to see my dirt covered face. The date was April 14th, 1916. I was stationed in Verdun, France. In my childhood years I had dreamed of joining the Canadian Army, and I finally got my wish. But the courageous, easy, and powerful job I once thought of it to be turned out to be depressing, hard, and it came with little to no reward. But alas, I was stuck in this foul-smelling, life stealing excuse of a trench, and I knew it.…

    It is another dreary night at Valley Forge. As I crawl into my unbearable smoky hut, doubt, fear, and cold death are roaming the walls of my hut. In the winter of 1777, Washington’s Continental army suffered terrible conditions at Valley Forge. Many soldiers died from sickness and severe cold weather. Others deserted the camp. Most soldiers received the chance of re-enlisting or not re-enlisting. This decision was one of the hardest decisions of their life. I have decided to re-enlist because the reason we fight in this war is for freedom, there is still hope within us, and pride and relief await after the war.…

    I was running as fast as I could. I didn't know where to, all I knew was that I couldn't stop. Pushing myself to run faster, I sprinted down the nearly deserted street. I could hear the smashing of glass and gunshots behind me, only matched by screams of terror, as they invaded Szczebrzeszyn like a tidal wave. Drowning any Jews that were too slow to escape. I cried out as my knees buckled, causing me to collapse to the ground. Too weak to stand, I dragged myself towards a nearby car and crawled underneath it. Trying not to make a sound, I lay there tear spilling silently down my face. My breath, like a dragon's fire, clouded the surrounding air. There was no escape. I listened to the smashing and shouting increase in volume, and held my breath…

    My family and I hear banging and yelling at our door as we know who are visitors are, the Nazi’s. We are violently being pushed around as the soldiers yell into our ears making me feel almost deaf. I’m pushed away from my family as I see their faces of fear. I can see children crying and begging to soldiers for their parents as parents yelled and screamed back. We are taken to the camps that will be our new home for now. I finally get to meet up with my mother again as she puts her hands on my face. I hug my mother as we then are taken to get our new looks. My mother and I are taken to get our new clothing. Then they shove us to get our hair shaved off. A buzzer turns on and soon we are shaved. It’s so hard for me to look at my mother cry…
