Fear On The Autobahn
With definitions of difficult words
One often experiences strange incidents in life. Such incidents remain etched in the memory lane. Scary or cheerful, my first trip on the Lyari expressway can never be forgotten. Why not, for it is recorded in detail in my personal diary.
Before the arrival of my cousins from USA, I believed myself to be a sort of an extremely brave wunderkind. It all changed after that. Even my grandiloquence did not stop them from frightening me with hair-raising stories. Very soon, I had started to fear every nick and corner for what it may conceal. As a small child, I started believing in out-worldly people and in the fact that my cousins were clairvoyants and could see into the future.
Along with these stories, my cousins had burst me with admiration for the autobahn on the Lyari River. I repeatedly tried to persist my over-burdened father into taking me for a ride, till he finally accepted my request.
Dressed smartly on that eventful day, I looked for all to see as the luckiest boy in the world. As a final blood curdle, my eldest cousin warned me that something bad could happen to me on the expressway. However, even his warning could not dampen my spirits before the ride.
After 5 minutes of light-hearted singing (and unhesitating driving by my father), we finally reached the tollbooth of the autobahn. I could not stop myself from thinking whether the collector was an out-worldly creature or a human. Only when I discovered that his ears weren’t pointed – but were round just like my ears – was I convinced of his being.
After the toll had commanded over a little money from my father’s pocket, my father opened the car radio and started driving at a ridiculous speed. He had a wonderful sense of schadenfreude when he learnt from the car radio that a car crash had occurred near the entrance of the expressway. The crash meant that there would be no other cars on the autobahn, so my father could continue driving at his

    My white knuckles clutched the wheel as my little car whined and jerked into high gear, finally accelerating onto Six Forks. Barely a mile from home, and driving was already intimidating. My credentials were impeccable. I had passed a dreadful thirty hour class with a teacher whose voice carried to the moon and proven my driving prowess to a cartoonish instructor sporting a beret, plaid shirt, corduroy jacket, billowy pants, and a pair of suspenders. A pair of rimless spectacles made his eyes appear small and beady while accentuating his pudgy face. There was no conceivable reason to be nervous, but I could not shake the grim sense of foreboding that hovered over me.…

    Beginning almost immediately, I am tossed from side to side as we make our journey to the meet. About an hour into the ride I feel a drop of water trickle from my forehead to my chin. Then, two more land on my cheek as I groggily open my eyes. The darkness surrounding the bus is engulfed in a downpour. I reach up and slide the rusty bus window shut. Great, I think, the course is going to be so muddy. The crackle of the bus’s speakers break the silence for my coach to alert us that we will still be racing as planned, queuing a symphony of disappointed groans.…

    The Road: Essay

    • 1359 Words
    • 4 Pages

    History has had little conscience when it comes to human suffering and struggle. The world has brought us murder, torture, and terror in the packages of war, politics, and everyday human relationships. Religious battles keep racism, greed, and suffering real. The positive is not always apparent when one looks at human existence. Aside from the physical struggle humans had to endure and overcome, emotions also challenge us in hard times. Cormac McCarthy’s The Road, a story set after an apocalypse, takes the characters beyond physical challenges like cold and hunger. In their dystopia, the characters must also face their emotional struggles. As they journey across the dark, barren land, the boy and his father experience the feelings of desperation, fear and hope.…

    I was squirming around with butterflies in my stomach sitting in the passenger seat of my dad’s giant Dodge Ram pick-up truck on the way up to middle-of-nowhere upstate New York. It was going to be my first time driving an actual go-kart, a kart that could go much faster than any Spongebob-themed ones at any amusement park. As I was sitting there, my dad was telling me that, no matter what, it was important that I was having fun, and to not be discouraged because he knew that I was going to be the only girl. Sure enough, I was the only girl.…

    “Driving Lessons,” written by Neal Bowers, relays the message through a young man’s driving lesson. Bowers highlights the son’s relationship with mother in this intimate setting – confined in a car. Flashbacks illuminate the true dynamic between the two and the rest of the family. Here, the young man is caught in between the crossfire between his parents of whom he illustrates as “my father impatient, my mother/ trying hard to smile” (Bowers 37-38). He can see through the façade his parents put on which disturbs him greatly. Once walked out on by his mother for a short period of time, he recognizes the vitality of her presence for him and his family. Even within that short period of time in which she was gone he understands how she has shaped him as a person, as he says, “the boy I would have been if/ my mother had kept on walking” (Bowers 29,30).…

    My Trip to Canada

    Our adventure started out in the middle of summer on a Monday afternoon. It took us a while to load up the van, but once we did, we hit the road immediately. I drove through the dangerous mountain roads of Virginia and West Virginia. Driving through the mountains of the Appalachian gave me a better experience and taught me to drive in heavy traffic, and curvy, slippery roads. The scenery was breathtaking, one look at the beautiful mountain ridges is a memory I’ll never forget. At one point we drove through a tunnel built though the mountains. This caused our GPS to lose connection leading us to getting lost for about an hour. Luckily, the signal picked up and the adventure continued. There was so much traffic on the highway. There had been an accident right in front of me while I was driving 65mph. I suddenly came to a complete stop within in a matter of seconds. If I had pushed the brakes just a second later we all would have been done for. This scared me a lot because my whole family was in the car with me.…
