Personal Narrative: Life In The Concentration
Hundreds of people wearing clothes that looks as if they are striped pajamas, all have some kind of numbers that looks as if it is tattooed on their wrist, and people collapsing from dehydration and starvation. Not a single smile on anyone's face but on these ruthless people that looks as if they are actual soldiers, pointing guns at the people's heads and gunshots going off with a loud thud of the now dead human being. The place looks like it could be a prison but worse and more deadly. There are no buildings unless you count these places that look like cottages but only have bunk beds with no blankets or pillows. Not a single sign of happiness in the environment but, only a sign of death and despair.
My topic is about the life in the concentration

    I am not going to start this off with a quote because that's what everyone else is doing. I am Avery Peak and I hate doing things someone has already done. I like being creative in my own way, that's why I have a grain shoot for an exhaust in my truck and rolling on 37inch mud tires.…

    The most shocking thing is that there are like two though four people in a bed that would be considered the size of a single bed today! These people are living in a complete pigsty – there are clothes hanged all over the place, the same with pots and pans on tiny shelves attached to the wall, and the huge crates taking up all of the non-bed area. Additionally, the beds are so close together and some of the people do not even have blankets. It was normal for there to be two through three people on the bed and the rest slept on the floor because there were simply not enough beds in the tenement. From the picture, it looks like these people cannot even sleep comfortably as it is too hard to be happy in such horrific conditions. This picture clearly illustrates how unorganized and how unsanitary tenements were and how the people in them were being treated awfully. People had no choices about where else they could live. There were even police that checked for overcrowding in these tenements – people depended on living in these awful tenements, which is completely…

    Tormented. Beaten. Herded like cattle. Imprisoned within walls lined with barbed wire. Cowering with fear when in the shadow of a tall, strong soldier. All hope depicting escape has faded away and been replaced with dread. No one would dare attempt to abscond from the camp for it would result in immediate death. Blood spilled on the dirt floors, living in filth and scars.…

    There has been many cases in which I have helped an outsider feel welcome. One time in particular is when I played tag with this little boy at church since he was new and no one else played with him. Originally, I was outside eating candy and talking to my friends at church. I noticed that this little boy was standing all alone watching all the other little kids play without him. I thought that maybe he was upset so I went over to him and asked if he wanted the rest of my gummy worms. He seemed nervous at first, but eventually he started talking to me. I learned that he was five years old and he was visiting his grandparents for the weekend. His older brother was outside playing basketball with some of the other older boys at the church, and…

    My mother, sister, and I were driving down Highway 124 on a hot July day when my mom screamed and slammed on the breaks. Fear rushed through our bodies. Outside the car window, a short young African American man was launched into the air. As he came down, a loud boom sounded as his body helplessly rolled off the hood of the faint green Toyota Corolla in front of us. The man lay motionless in the road while we waited for what seemed like hours for the driver to exit the car. His red shirt and gym shorts were ripped. The driver of the opposing car threw the vehicle in reverse in a spasmodic action in an attempt to end the man’s life. The injured man made an effort to crawl onto the Wendy’s sidewalk, forcing his body up on the curb to evade the car. The driver drove up onto the curb and blew its tire, just barely missing the wounded man. Realizing the driver would stop at nothing, my mother drove her white suburban in front of the car, blocking the violent perpetrator from doing any further damage.…

She has raised 6 kids all by herself as well as earned a Bachelor’s degree in nursing from a City College in Gainesville, Florida. My mother has been through pretty much everything a person can go through outside of war and was still able to be there and provide for all 6 of her kids. In high school, my mother wanted to play football and couldn't because she was a girl and back-in-the-day women were not allowed to play football with the guys. However, she remained strong by raising 6 kids and independently took care of all of us on her own. My mother has several qualities that I would love to develop. The first quality she has is balance; she certainly knows how to make…

    Every human struggles everyone has hardship. When I was young I began to notice that maybe it is hard to understand what other people struggle with. The start of a mundane life began as usual a bus ride to school, but today something else happened a flash of yellow a soundless luxury sports car zoomed bass by a Lamborghini. As the car passed by everyone looked at it with amazement as the never seen a car pass from this part of the street. I began to wonder when will I get one with imaginary job I will live the high life.

I moved six times, four of those places were towns that nobody could think about. Germany, North Carolina, Alaska, North Carolina, Germany, and Alaska, yet no place to call home. May 22, 1999, my first day on this world; Kronach hospital had its first American baby in their hands, yet they acted like I was a different species.
