Marchael: A Short Story
“Come on Marchael , we should go to the sit-ins everybody else is doing it.” I said, “you know I don’t like being called Marchael, Annabeth,” said Marky tauntingly. I never liked my name so I always had people call me ‘Ann’ or ‘Anna’ instead ,but Marky used my name just to annoy me. Michael or Marky as he went by, and I have been best friends since 1st grade. He stole my apple and I hit him are teacher made us talk about our feelings and we’ve been buddies ever since.
Convincing Marky to come with me to the sit-in protest was easier than I thought I just had to buy him lunch. I felt less scared going to the sit-in with Marky even the thought made my hands sweat. We gathered in a college gym there was about 250 people we were put in the second

    Horace Arnolphe Character Traits

    Arnolphe, a wealthy fifty-two year old man, returns home after a ten-day absence. He recently renamed himself “Monsieur de la Souche” (after a tree stump on his estate). His friend Chrysalde has a few opposing opinions to share with him, his thoughts on his new name being only one of them. He also warns him about the faultiness of his longtime plan of confining his ward, Agnès, to a convent to “be raised in ignorance of life” that someday she may be his innocent and dutiful wife. Arnolphe pays him no heed. Now that Agnès is of marrying age, he moves her into his house and plans to soon wed her.…

    Scottie Rides: A Narrative Fiction

    “Ugh!”, he grunts from how large the suitcase is. “Will you be able to carry that, Scottie?” she says, her face, worn from time, twists with concern for her son. “Of course”, he laughs. “Okay, if you’re sure.” She says as she opens the metal gate to the front yard. They slowly walk through the cracked pathway until they reach the steps to the porch. Beatrice opens the sturdy door with her keys. “Honey, I’m home!” Scottie yells into the empty living room. “Must you do that every time you come inside the house?” She says fondly. “Of course, I must.” He says as if she should already have known the answer. While they were talking, Alice and Jake, Scottie’s younger siblings, heard his announcement and excitedly ran out of their room and down the beige stairs. “Stop making all that racket!” she admonishes her children. “SCOTTIE!” they yell out enthusiastically. “You’re home!” Alice states, full of wonder that her big older brother is finally back where he belongs. “Well, it’s obvious that I’m home unless I’m an imposer who’s secretly an alien”, He jokes, winking at Alice. “I definitely didn’t miss your humor,” Jake lightheartedly says. “Oh, come on, I tell the best jokes”, Scottie says smiling. “Yeah right, in your dreams”, Jake jokingly teases. “Leave your brother alone for right now. He had a long trip and he’s probably exhausted.” Beatrice gently tells to her…

    As I Lay Dying Language Analysis

    Addie, the mother of the family, and the driving force behind the deterioration of her family’s world, has a bitter perspective of love and existence. Her internal thoughts, which appear only once in a chapter later in the book, reveal her complicated emotional view towards her painful situation. Her language is dark and cold, and she often reiterates the idea that “words are no good” (page 171). Addie’s voice is of a woman who has only known the empty love of her father, and of Anse, and the hardships of motherhood. Words have never been true to her, and therefore she cannot understand their importance. Her morbid and angry voice is most present when she expresses a want to injure her students, and murder her husband. Her hatred for humanity is clear when she compares them…

    What Are The Young Lords In Lincoln Park Essay

    In the fall of 1968 in Chicago, Patricia Devine and Dick Vision, members of a church organization called the Concerned Citizens of Lincoln Park approached me to see if I could help them bring people to an upcoming housing meeting of the Lincoln Park Community Conservation Council. At the time, I was still president of a loose knit street gang, the Young Lords. I had recently come out of jail and wanted to get back with my girlfriend and daughter and settle down. During the day I was studying for my G.E.D. while also working as a janitor at the Argonne National Laboratory in an ex-offender program. It was not an easy task to get a group of relatively undisciplined young people to attend a formal, political meeting. Convincing them bruised not only my ego, but my face. But when the evening of the meeting arrived, about 40 young people from the neighborhood showed up.…

    Summary Of Marcher's Delusions Of Grandeur

    Almost nothing happens in this story. Marcher is primarily interested in himself and has little concern for others. He believes that there is something that sets him aside from others and that he has a special calling that might be good or bad, but it will confirm his superiority over others. He has no proof of this, nonetheless, he merely senses it, and proclaims it, and his behavior is driven by this notion. Additionally, May feds his delusion by professing that she knows what his calling is moreover, the beast is not inside Marcher. The beast is May, because she facilitated his delusions of…

    The Kite Runner: Parody

    I’m not who I am because of where I went to college, or what I’ve done… it’s what I saw at the age of twelve in the winter of 1975. This incident changed my life forever… the alley changed my life forever. Hannah was my best friend, a girl yes, but none-the-less, my best friend. Who am I? I am Amy. Yes, probably the most feminine name you could ever give a boy, but I’m not feminine at all. Or am I? Maybe sometimes.…

    Traditional Activism, the Right Approach

    Half a century ago, four African American college students performed a sit in at a local diner. Soon, many other individuals across the country, especially the South, had joined in. It slowly became an important civil-rights movement. Back in the early nineteen-sixties, computers and the internet were not a factor in people’s everyday lives. Therefore, this big movement was created and spread by word of mouth. This experience shows that change always was and still can be achieved without the help of texting, Facebook, e-mail, etc.…

    A Separate Peace: Coming of Age Story

    Gene Forrester is the protagonist of a coming of age story in many ways. First Genes shift from ignorance to knowledge is pretty apparent. An ignorant Gene is led to the tree where he jounces the the limb causing Finny to fall. The knowledge of his evil deed and the loss of innocence because of it really launches Gene from childhood to adulthood. Genes shift from innocence to experience can be expressed by the very same situation. Gene lost his innocence when he jounced the limb of the tree and injuring Finny because of it. He now has experience of doing sinful deeds. What drove Gene to jounce the limb was perhaps to bring Finny down to his own level and make the two equal. The very thought causes Gene to become a little less innocent and a little more devious. Part of coming-of-age is having the experience of the consequences of doing bad things.…

    Personal Narrative: Being A Black Women In America

    However, the more media coverage and the more conversation students were having around me, the more I knew that staying silent was not the choice I was going to make. It was then that I performed one of the most courageous acts I have at that moment in my life. I went to social platform and voiced my concerns about the accepted ignorance and lack of attention any racial, religious,or gender-based issues receive. Where before I choose to fit in, I now understood that I have every opportunity to change the course of the social environment of America- it starts by standing up for what I believe in now. My views are just as valid as anyone else's. I actively put myself out there to make one happen. Building up the confidence to be the role model, leader, and most importantly the person I want to be proved to be the best personal development that helped me grow more responsible for my actions and act compassionately to those around me. Overcoming my fear judgement from my peers enabled me to use my voice as a tool to preach love, equality, and justice and my choice to be a part of society by bringing awareness to others is one that I take pride in more than anything…
