The Lost Girl

“The Lost Girl” Declamation by dhang

I am a girl, young in heart and in mind…
I am carefree, I enjoy doing nothing but play,play and play…

I seldom go to school but hmp! nobody cares!
Instead,you will see me roaming around standing at the nearby canto, or hanging around at the sari-sari store standing beside the jukebox stand…

One day I asked I asked my mother to teach me how to behave, to live, and appreciate all the beautiful things in life.
Would you like to know what she told me?
She said… " Can’t you see, I have to hurry up for my majong session! " So I turned to my father to console me.
But what a wonderful word he did tell me…
" Child, I have to finish my overtime work…Here’s 500 pesos, go and ask your teacher about that question…"

Sadly,I attended my class…
But I heard nothing but the echoing voice of my teacher,torturing me with her words…
" Hey yo lazy girl!
Why waste your time studying those things?
When up to now you can’t even multiply seven by nine?
Go home and don’t bother me!!!"

I am lost…confused…I don’t know what to do with myself…
Where are my parents to guide me?
My teachers to give me inspirations?
My friends, when I play?
I’m lazy and irresponsible.

When I try to study,
I get punished for not being able to answer.
Where now…I’m confused…
Somebody, please help me…
You say that the world is beautiful, why is it treating me this way?
Hear me please!
Help me please!
Help me…
I am

Willa Cather's a Lost Lady

In Willa Cather's A Lost Lady, Captain Daniel Forrester is a gardener at heart. His lifetime is spent encouraging growth, whether of railroads, personal lives or flowers. His philosophy is to dream "because a thing that is dreamed of in the way I mean is already an accomplished fact" (44). Close friends described the Captain as clearly looking like " pictures of Grover Cleveland. His clumsy dignity covered a deep nature, and a conscience that had never been juggled with" (39). Because of his clear conscience Captain Forrester became a rich soil for many around him to take root in. As this soil, he could always be in the background and many never noticed how important he was until he was missed. Once the Captain's career outside his home ended he truly opens up to the peacefulness of nature, including his flowers, which eventually illustrate the phases of his life.…

The Memory Keeper's Daughter

The book I decided to read was The Memory Keeper’s Daughter by Kim Edwards. I chosed this book because it demonstrated real life situations, teaching us lessons that 9th graders can use in their later future while creating fascinating storyline to keep the story entertaining. This story is about a couple who had a twins but one came with down syndrome. So the husband who is also delivering the babies decided to send the baby away before the gas on his wife wore off. He had the nurse take the baby girl to a institution, but instead she kept the baby left the city and raised the child as her own. In my opinion i would highly recommend this book for 9th graders to read, it has…

Lost the Tv Show

The TV show Lost is a story about a group of people who survive a plane crash and end up on a mysterious island. Beyond the premise of the show there are deeper themes that run through out the show. While the first season may have been primarily about the survivors realizing that help isn’t exactly on the way and that they must band together to survive. From the very beginning we begin to see conflicts arise when matters of trust are involved. As the survivors begin to know one another better the skeletons in the closet for everyone are eventually revealed. Examples include when Jack Sheppard, the de facto leader of the group of survivors, found a mug shot of one of the other passengers who was being escorted by a US marshal. Kate was wanted for the murder of her father. Sayid Jarrah, another survivor, was previously a torturer for the Iraqi Republican Guard. James “Sawyer Ford” was a conman who conned couples out of their money; he also left behind a daughter whom he refused to accept in to his life. Needless to say this caused a major point of contention in the aftermath of the crash as many erroneously thought he had something to do with it. Not all of the passengers’ past is as dark though. John Locke was paralyzed from the waist down before the crash on the island. Mr. Eko was a reformed Nigerian gangster turned priest after an accident killed his brother. One thing all these characters have in common is their general path once they get on the island and how these characters’ development portrays the larger theme of redemption.…

The Girl with the Blackened Eye/Barn Burning

Joyce Carol Oates “The Girl With the Blackened Eye” was a narrative depicting a story about a teenage girl who had experienced tragedy at the age fifteen. The narrator, the character had endured what is believed to be eight days of physical and mental abuse from her abductor. She was violated and ripped of all her value. Oates displayed graphic and realistic detail so that the reader would have a clear understanding and visual of what had occurred. In William Faulkner’s tale “Barn Burning” was not as tragic. His story, in my opinion followed the pattern of choosing what is right from wrong, making strong decisions regardless of your situation. From this I obtained a family lesson, when Sarty became the lion and decided to remove himself from his father and his wrong doings due to his belief. The courageous boy felt and knew his father’s habit was a ludicrous act and no longer wanted part so he did what he felt was best. In some situations family members are forced to cause friction between each other or amongst themselves because of disagreements.…

Living Dead Girl

In the book Living Dead Girl by Elizabeth Scott, a young girl named Alice deals with several conflicts between herself, her abductor, and the world throughout her short life. In Alice’s life she is kidnapped and taken away from the life she knows at the age of ten years old by a man named Ray. Ray beats, molests, and starves Alice on a daily basis. Alice is fighting with herself because she knows that in the end her only escape from Ray would be death. She can’t run because Ray threatens her with the fact that if she runs he will go find her family, and kill them. Alice talks to herself throughout the whole book trying to convince herself that she probably doesn’t have much time left because Ray got rid of the last “Alice” because she no longer appealed to him like she did when she was younger. As Alice gets older she’s fighting with nature to stay young, thin, and pure, but as time goes by Alice can’t hold on to her youth for much longer.…

An Innocent Lost

A child’s ability to trust and hope are so important to their innocence, and yet like so many other important things they are not treated with the care necessary to keep them alive. An innocent, trusting child will walk up to anyone on the street and believe they cannot nor will never hurt them in any way. Unfortunately, all too often that part of them gets pulverized into dust. Our parents try to teach us there are no monsters, trying to protect us from the ugly truths that life holds. They never really lie to us, there are no monsters under our beds or hiding in our closets. Tragically some children are forced to face the appalling truths, fiends do exist and they look just like people. I was one that had to grow up much too soon and face the facts of those monsters, I learned the worst truth possible, and like a glass globe that is dropped, my world was shattered into a million pieces as the answers to my fears were delivered in anger. My entire self was dismembered, and for too long those horrors had complete control.…

Georgia Gabor Holocaust Survivor

She taught me that even though when sometimes everything is going wrong, that you need to keep your head up and keep moving forward. She lost her parents, but stayed strong. She was caught two times by the Nazis, and escaped with her family’s help. She was caught a last time, and this time, she was bound to die. While in the tunnel, she could hear the screams of the Jews getting tortured, but managed to persevere and make it out alive. I believe that is important to not give up, as well as keep moving forward even when times get rough. Nothing lasts forever, and that applies to harsh feelings as well. Everyone should remember that if you put bad things in the past, it’ll be forgotten…
