Sleepy Snow Day

Who knew that on the one day we wished happen that there would never be a yell or scream, but quite, a sweet noiseless day. Mother cooked, Father shoveled, brother fell asleep, and my own sweet sister left for her friends keep. While I did nearly nothing but rest and watch the snow thrash the houses, except for the tiny bit I did to keep the cold away, running to sweat off fat that kept my body much too warm in this frosty winter day. No hot chocolate, thawing, or fire but we did get a call that lit a sting of memories for hire. So all in all there was no 'snow day fun' for I didn't see one person intell one.

The Play Day

Inspiering art piece: the old stage coach

Playing and fighting throughout the day,
Holding the reins on the way,
Playing horse,
Be the first up.
The circus may not be here,
But we still can be filled with joy,
For we has our horses,
With reins in hand,
And today we will play.

Truth Tabooed

Trying to yell and scream but the hands grip my throat and say no. I can’t breathe, I can’t scream, I can’t speak; no stop, stop, STOP! Someone help me, please help me. ‘Speak’ by Laurie Halse Anderson, it tells you to speak, and not stay quite when someone is hurting you. This tragedy starts with a teen, Melinda; she is a normal girl who has friends and a life. Then everything goes wrong; a wolf came and takes something from her, she never said a thing, she tried but couldn’t. Something that happens in life, something people are afraid to talk about, something the can make you depressed and tried. This thing is and was in the story rape, a predator named Andy caught her and raped her.
This subject couldn’t be more tabooed; it is shunned and looked down upon by society. It like a rule don’t hear, don’t talk, don’t tell; this may have been one reason Melinda didn’t speak. But as it went you think someone her parents or teachers would notice the signs she showed of being a rape victim the depression, lack of effort, skipping, muteness, and panic attacks. But as must cases go no who did notice that she was raped, even though they had hints, Melinda’s own father said “What happened to my sweet little girl. She comes here and now look at her.” Though out this everyone thought she was being a depressed teen not anything else and they really didn’t seem to care. The only person who knew was Andy, her rapist, and he didn’t care entire

Then we hit the end where finally the poor girl gets what she needs, hope. People start to see who Andy really is and shun him. Then Melinda gets her voice, a symbol of new life for her, and is free from the bonds of her memory. The pain may still be there but it doesn’t hold her down anymore that is what is shown throughout the ending. Everyone is stunned and probably regretting that they never noticed the signs. But the reason they didn’t notice was because they didn’t know the signs r ignored them; that most often leads to a bad ending, but thankfully it didn’t, this time. In the world there are as many “happy” endings like this one, most led to things that are unmentionable in this easy. People should be ashamed that we can’t seem to handle the truth, we thing we can ignore it and it will go away but the more we pay attention the more “happy” endings will happen. We speak the truth, and then will be free from the pain and suffering, that is the message from ‘Speak’ by Laurie Halse Anderson.

Love is Back

Love is back
I think a stupid cupid
Has finally hit my heart,
Because the burn that are on it
Are finally starting to hurt,
Their screaming out in pain
Saying it’s time to wait,
But yet I feel like crying
Because it feels so great,
For tonight I believe
That the impossible is here,
I have fallen in love
In less than twenty years.

the story of the hour response

The Story of the Hour by Kate Chopin holds not just a story of the fall of a wife but a also shows the way of women man years ago. Mrs. Mallard was a women with heart trouble who’s husband had just died, crying she began to think. Then understood she did not love him that much and the death was for the greater good. She looked out an open window and saw her new life but couldn’t get to it with dying. This shows that women did not have that much of a chose in life such as they married friends. This would terrify anyone in the 21st century at all points of view.

A Clean Well Lighted Place Essay

The light washed over yet why is there only emptiness; the darkness seems to swallow me whole. “A Clean Well Lighted Place” by Ernest Hemingway is a story of two points of views on one’s life. The older know lessons that the younger don’t this leads to what we do and say to others.
We begin with the older waiter at a café; he is wise to not judge an old depressed man who likes to stay till three. He share’s a connection with the man because he thinks like the old man; they want to stay in the light and with company. He even knows that money doesn’t always bring happiness, well some young bloods might. The older waiter is kind to people and though he does gossip about his costumers he tries to understand their situation .I know this because he defends the things they do with reasons of why they do them. This is something that many will look over and then be blind to someone’s pain.
Now we have the young waiter, a crude, selfish, cowardly, shallow, frigid, insignificant person. He the money equals happiness and insults a deaf man, what he did is horribly rude you never insult someone no matter what their situation. I wonder why karma isn’t taking place I mean his doing all of the shallow things and yet nothing or nobody spites him. Other frigid things that he did was kick the old man out and said he should died, makes an opinion that states old people are useless, and cares only about going to sleep before three. This shows that the younger waiter isn’t wise and doesn’t even care for the situation a person can be in.
Now what is the connection to older and younger waiter, they polar opposites, which makes me wonder why they even get along when they work together at the café? The old man seems wiser and more understanding toward people in a bad situation and which it seems that the younger waiter would just spite them for no reason. Then there something else the older waiter like to stay in the light away from the dark while the younger waiter seems to be in the dark say things like he can drink at home or in a bar, something that seem crud and empty. From both points in seems to be unfair, one wise but missing so many things to enjoy and then one having so much but no wisdom to enjoy what they have.
Ernest Hemingway’s “A Clean Well Lighted Place” is a way to see a point from two different people on a life. The more you know the better you treat those in a wasted life well those without that knowledge make the lives worse. Why do we all seem to follow this rule is that all there is to life or is there a different road where we can have wisdom yet chariest the many things that we have.
