People are too busy running away from their monsters to check over their shoulders, missing the opportunity to see a small shadow running after them. The novel, “The First Time She Drowned” by Kerry Kletter targets the theme on parental mental and physical abuse. The main idea of the novel is that the transgenerational cycle of abuse can only be broken through confrontation. Three points to help understand the main idea of the novel is, first, Cassie O’Malley’s (the protagonist) mother never truly resolves her own abusive past. Secondly, Cassie opens a door to healing by confronting her inner demons through a therapist. The last point is the final confrontation that gives Cassie a sense of clarity and freedom from the cycle of abuse. For example, when Cassie O’Malley went through the years of abuse from her mother and enrols herself into a college, she thinks those years of abuse are far behind her, but she doesn’t realize that the only way her past…

Every day we are given a fresh start; another chance to move forward in our lives and accomplish the things we thrive to achieve day to day. A new day can also liberate us from our past mistakes and provide us with a chance to change our ways. We are all faced with misery and misfortune at points in our lives, some more than others. We must recognize that it is not the burden in itself that shapes who we are, but how well or how poorly we deal with the difficulties. Sometimes misfortunes can be seen in a negative light; because it seems unjust, therefore we response in a negative matter, and become negligent to change. Overcoming tragic events is what truly counts, for we are meant to live happily and in acceptance that there are things that we cannot change. In many cases, individuals seem to feel as though they’ve lost an amount so great that they are unable to free themselves of the pain. This perspective often leads to further suffering. A Temporary Matter by Jhumpa Lahou and Kiss Me by Andrew Pyper demonstrate a loss of identity, negligence towards communication, and eventually leading to the destruction of a relationship.…

In all honesty that may be true in some cases, of course, the pain will always be there, because a person can not just forget about what has happened to them. But with time, it does get easier. It’s not healing the broken…

Life hadn’t always been bad; I was brought up in an incredible home where love radiated through the walls into every heart and soul that entered in. Smiles where exchanged through passing no matter where I was headed, or whom I was with. There was that constant bounce in my step, the kind that would make your ponytail swish in the wind with every step.
