Creative Writing: Personal Connection
Personal Connection Jiyeon Min (Fan Fiction­The Death) The Death sat beside Liesel and breathed. An air of sadness rushed into his lungs, which seemed to choke the oxygen out of his body. But it did not bother him anyways so he just enjoyed the sensation of draining oxygen. However the only thing that bothered him was the taste of sadness that lingered on top of his tongue that lead deep into the lungs.

Black

Such sad color seemed to be the only thing he can feel at the present moment. Though there was his favorite color of blue over his head and colorful leaves that tasted like mixed candy, it was just as if those colors were not in the same place as he was. Just black, the pure blackness of Liesel’s dress and shoes approached him silently,

A different world. A place of pure black. The blackness of her atmosphere also did the job as well. It wasn’t like the Death despised and hated such color. In fact he was enjoying it, like a child eating a nice big cone of ice cream. After all, such pure black is not easy to taste as many are polluted or dirtied with other things. As Death quietly stayed, Liesel stood up and started walking. The bleak color of gravestones and dead grasses went along well with Liesel.

Death is something sad yet wonderfully pleasant, at least in the eyes of Death it was.
Death never meant everlasting rest or good byes. It was more like a new beginning where the dirtied souls clean themselves and light up the sky brilliantly until their time come again to dwell upon this land. Perhaps the reason why he thought that this place was full of resting stars is because he is the one who leads them to the dark sky above.

“Ah, so bright and warm”

The Death mumbled as he watched the girl walk along the grey path made out of

"Was he dear to you?"

Trembling fingers of Death stroked Liesel's cheek. It was burning red yet it was cold.
Now the wind was howling and the sun was cooling her body down. It was almost time for him to go and do his work. The guide to heavenly path.

"Rudy... "

Death listened to Liesel. Her voice was cracked from not drinking water and crying. But to Death it sounded just like a song. A song of lament.

"Rudy.. Rudy.."

Liesel's voice grew and took shape. It stared at the Death with its loathing eyes and it was growling at him.
'I hate you I hate you I hate you'

The words were crying out in agony as it cursed the Death.

'I hate you.. '

The words pierced through Death. There were no wounds yet it hurt. He knew that there was nothing he could do.

"Liesel.. Oh Liesel.. How I love to see and read and feel the lives of human. I love these weak yet strong souls and I love this whole but incomplete life. Ah... I love them yet I receive loath and hatred in return."

Death stood up and turned his back on Liesel.

"Your life is full of beautiful colors Liesel. I in other hand have only these bleak

    Demise, quietus, and death- all meaning the end of the life of a person or organism. In today's society, death is most commonly associated with grief, mourning, depression, and also suffering .

    I jump back as a black feline shoots across the path in-front of me. I catch a glimpse of its matted fur; a screeching hiss pierces the night air as it encounters a mammal in the undergrowth. They say a black cat at night is bad luck, but I honestly doubt my luck could get any worse in light of recent events. “Get out, you don’t belong here anymore”, “Just looking at you makes me sick. Leave now and get out of our lives”. It’s funny how the ones who are meant to love you the most, can turn on you so easily.…

    One last element of a good death that I would like to mention is the idea of keeping something physical that belonged to the departed.

    In this passage, Liesel is going through one of her toughest moments in her life. At the same time, the author uses the word darkness, to symbolize Liesel's feelings. In this situation, darkness is representing the feeling of hopeless. In other words, Liesel is currently going through a lot of fluctuations in her life which causes her to get trapped inside of her own world. Simultaneously, she loses hope in this world, causing her to see everything in darkness. The reasons that Liesel would feel this way is most likely due to her brother's death, being sent to a foster home and getting beaten by her foster mother and realizing that she will never have the chance to see her real mother again. As a result, Liesel's experiences makes my…

    We can infer that the speaker can imagine the large amount of grieving this will cause when the death of the woman hits them tomorrow. Bridgette notes, “Death weighs on the shoulders of the dying until they depart, and clings to the living in remembrance of their loss.” In the fourth stanza, the speaker questions why that it is the woman and not someone else. The others will blame themselves because they can exist while she must finish quiet. The author concludes the poem in the last three stanzas telling that what occurred during her final passing. They “waited while she passed” to show respect and love in their final “narrow” moments. They found her body in “water” where she had drowned and “placed her hair” on a pillow so she looked comfortable. We inferred that this was a kind of gesture of respect and love. Family and close friends often mourn the death of loved ones with silence. Justin Dyke notes, “The speaker utilizes mournful diction in order to convey the speaker’s high regard for the dying woman, enough to cause a sense of guilt for her death, and intense pain they are experiencing due to her death; however, the speaker knows that they must cope and move on with their…

    This passage makes me feel sad because of the sudden death of Liesel. As a result, this prompts me into realizing that one of theme of this book is about how life is unpredictable. An example of this is when Liesel dies without warning. I can relate to this theme because a friend of mine from elementary has committed suicide and none of her friends knew until her parents posted a post on Facebook declaring that she has died. Therefore, I've learned that cherishing the people around me is important as they might die without warning, like…

    I have always had struggles and difficulties when it comes to writing. This is due to the fact that English is not my first language, and that I am still learning. I started to learn how to speak, and listen, and mainly write in English when I was in ninth grade. Writing has been the hardest to deal with it, because I have many spelling and mechanical errors and most importantly, how to organize an essay, but this changed when I took English 49 with Professor Lucero. In my first day of class, I was assigned to write an essay about my experience with writing. I was not completely sure on how to start my essay and how to organize it. When I was in High School, I did not write many essays, and the few I did, I have endless help. So, I just my…

    To live, to breath, to feel is life. Waking, stretching, and interacting, moving through the day is a feeling which to lose would be unbearable. Death steals these moments; it removes the opportunities to breathe, to be with loved ones, and it leaves family behind in pain and torture and within loss. Dylan Thomas in “Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night,” emphasizes that death should not be accepted; it should be fought with rage and anger through his incorporation of intense word choice, figurative language, and dark…
