“Bombs Bursting in Air” begins with the narrator talking about her son’s game and her daughter acting silly while singing the national anthem. More specifically, the line “Bombs bursting in air.” The author gives the word “bombs” a whole new definition in this essay. Rather than meaning an explosive weapon often used in war, Johnson refers to the difficult obstacles people face everyday. The more one risks a person takes results in more of life’s destructible bombs. These obstacles explode unexpectedly, and that is exactly what happened to Shannon. Shannon is five years old and is the author’s daughter’s best friend. Doctors found a brain tumor when she went to get an x-ray for a sledding accident. After

Some of the bullets managed to hit some of the barrels which caused a chain reaction of explosions. Soldiers everywhere were returning fire while other gasping for help. Fletcher scanned around the room for Marcel. He saw him lying behind a brick wall as cover. He seemed to be severely injured as his hand, tainted with blood, covered of what seemed to be several bullet holes. Fletcher couldn’t believe what was happening. There were soldiers lying lifeless here and there. It was complete chaos. Fletcher knew he had been fooled. He knew that secretly there was no prize. He knew that he had to

In this story, Collier puts the reader into the story to add a personal feel to it. He tells the reader to imagine picking up the phone with the neighbor describing a masked man carrying something shiny around the neighborhood. Naturally, the person hangs up the phone and goes to investigate while carrying a gun. When the reader finds the masked man, he walks towards the main character. Little to the main character’s knowledge, the masked man is his or her teenage son. Since the son doesn’t think about how the parent sees him in their perspective, he innocently continues walking as he always had. The parent shoots and kills her or her son because of his or her instinct to blindly shoot. (Collier 82)

After O’Brien subconsciously tossed a grenade at a young soldier that killed the man, he absorbed in a state of shock and guilt upon examining the body. Unlike other passages where the author left the overall picture to our imagination, he emphasized the true sight of the young man providing the reader with meticulous descriptions of the injuries in this chapter. For example, through the eyes of O’Brien, he began by noticing the most distinct feature, the jaw lodged in his throat. Then, as if he was following O’Brien’s trail of sight, he proceeded to focus upwards, describing the mouth, the eyes, and finally the hair. Thus far, even though his statements were too detailed to be “true,” O’Brien seemed calm and composed. However, as the author’s

“Well, I, for one, am glad that he wasn't any bigger. If you‘re through bathing him, bring him to me,” Charity told them. Nancy had cleaned him up and wrapped him in a receiving blanket. Martha took him from Nancy, and, after staring at him for a moment, she placed him in Charity’s

“Many people on the street were killed almost instantly. The fingertips of those dead bodies caught fire and the fire gradually spread over their entire bodies from their fingers. A light gray liquid dripped down their hands, scorching their fingers. I was so shocked to know that fingers and bodies could be burned and deformed like that. I just couldn’t believe it. It was horrible. And looking at it, it was more than painful for me to think how the fingers were burned, hands and fingers that would hold babies or turn pages, they just, they just burned away. For a few years after the A-bomb was dropped, I was terribly afraid of fire. I wasn’t even able to get close to fire because all my senses remembered how fearful and horrible the fire was,

Eileen was startled by the sight of her mom pointing a gun to her head. Luckily her mother was sleeping. She felt dizzy, Like this wasn't happening. She didn't want to wake and scare her and potentially have the gun go off. So she gently took her fingers off the trigger and took the gun out of her hands. It was like surgery of how precise she was taking it out of her hand. Once the gun was out of her hand she put it on the bed farthest away from her and shook her awake and just started yelling at her. Some of the things she said were “ How could you be so selfish?” and “I hate you!” She walking out of her room she hid the gun in a different room. She was so upset. She couldn't believe that her own mother would take her life. Or at least attempt to. She felt that every waking moment her mother abused her. She felt that her mother made her do EVERYTHING in the house. She was so angry at her mother. She had done everything she had ever asked of her and yet she wanted to take her life. But her mom did give a lot more respect towards

“Interested in your father’s glorious family tree? You aren’t included, it only includes men’s names.” In the film ‘Wadjda’, directed by Haifaa Al-Mansour, a girl named Wadjda from the male-dominated culture of Saudi Arabia sees a green bike that she strives her hardest to own. Although could the bike be a metaphor for something deeper? Some may say the bike is nothing more than a plain old bike, but in this essay, I will discuss how and why the green bike symbolises more than a mere green bike. The focus will be on the significance of the bike, why it has been chosen to act as the metaphor, and how/why the director has chosen it to show that Wadjda is subversive.

The sister prepares the evening meal, making her contribution to the family; and calls on the boy to come and eat. The saw in the boy?s hands was still running and when he took his attention away from his work, and that split second of carelessness cost him an extremity. His instincts raised his arm upward to keep all the blood from spilling out immediately. When he realized what was happening, the boy finally realized he was to young to be doing a man?s work. The boy ?saw all spoiled,? and now knew his whole childhood had vanished and it was impossible to get it back. The boy frantically called out to his sister to make the doctor keep his hand on. The boy?s body must have instantly gone into shock and not felt the absence of the hand. When the doctor arrived he gave him some ether to make him go to sleep. The little boy began to lose his pulse and soon he was a stranger to the world. The people surrounding the boy never expected the loss of his hand to tragically end the little boy?s life. Frost?s almost appalling casual description of death shocks the reader enough to make them think. ?Since they were not the one dead, turned to their affairs,? describes the environment of the survivors. They are forced to move on with their life and keep working because they cannot afford to stop and mourn.

How embarrassing he thought, he could see it now his dad bursting it seeing what that sound was and seeing his son lying on the ground unable to move with puke all over himself. Honestly he chuckled at it but the sudden movement of his chest made it cramp and lock his chest up so bad to the point he felt like he was choking.
