Her Watering Eyes

There once was a land all dull and dry. Not a river, puddle or bird in the sky. Everyone just went on with their day, without a single emotion. Everybody was just simply blah. But then one day all that changed, one day a girl began to cry and just did not know why. She didn’t quite understand why water began to pour down her face. This is where it all began. Her mom always knew her daughter was special but couldn’t put her finger on what it was. But the day her daughter’s boyfriend broke up with her she knew why.

Jasmine Jones was an ordinary girl like everyone else. She felt nothing, just simply moped around from place to place. In a way she felt incomplete but had no idea what was wrong with her? The day her boyfriend well ex-boyfriend now called was the day everything changed. He called her and said “Jasmine I am no longer fond of you; I think we should break up”. And after those words were said out of his mouth she felt a sudden pang in her heart and was uncertain what was happening to her. The more and more she dwelled on what just happened, the more her heart began to hurt.

Then her face began to get wet. Water began to come out of the girls’ eyes. What was happening to her? Jasmine started to think that she was sick. She was completely unaware that she had just created the very first feeling in all of mankind. Jasmine went into her kitchen looking for her mom. She was inquisitive about what was happening to her body. Water coming out of someone’s eyes was very peculiar. When she asked her mother what was going on with her body her mom had nothing to say. Her mom responded by just looking at her in pure astonishment. After a while Jasmine no longer seemed to care what her mom had to say at the moment. She just began to notice that her eyes were watering so much that the kitchen floor began to fill up with her water. So she continued to feel water coming out of her

    For all of my life, I have been an American citizen. I’ve never thought of my freedoms and rights as being a blessing, for I’ve never known anything different. But now that I have gone to DC and have seen all of our national buildings and landmarks, like the white house, Arlington Cemetery, the Jefferson Memorial, and so on, I now have a newly founded appreciation for my liberties. All of the rights I have as an american are very special and unique, for the concept of everyone being equal was new in our world. Also, the bravery of our forefathers is astonishing, for they could have been tried and hung for treason if we didn’t win the war. And the government they establish is completely original and is completely, as put by our 16th president, Abraham Lincoln, “of the people, by the people, for the people,” and in my opinion, constructed in liberty, and most importantly, freedom.…
