It’s currently 1933 and I am a Jew who lives in Germany, allow me to introduce myself my name is Anna I’m 13 and it is not easy being who I am. The nazi regime has taken place, it’s a horrible time to be alive. Munich (wild camps) have already began and there’s been a boycott of our shops and businesses. Schools is already bad I don’t know why they are hurting us.
Today, Herr Dippel complimented my English. He told me I am much improved from three years ago. This makes me happy. Herr Dippel has taught me many things but English he
Jarvis was quickly interrupted by the commander asking, “Wait, what’s the Cuse area?” Jarvis paused to pick at his mashed potatoes with his fork before beginning again. “I’m from Syracuse. The Cuse is just what we locals call it. Well, at least that’s what we used to call it. Now, I’m not too sure what it might be. But I suppose the place really couldn’t have gotten much worse.”
Hi Alice! How are you doing? Fine? I hope so.
“William! Get back here! You know that’s Melinda’s land!” Carefree young William raced through the field, closing in on Melinda´s apple orchard. Melinda was the evil fairy who owned 25 acres just outside the town. On her land was an orchard. In this orchard grew the finest apples in all of England. These large, sweet apples were desired by any who laid eyes on them. The only problem was Melinda… She cursed anyone who dared step foot on her land, especially her cherished apple orchard.
Today is the fourth day me and Little Ann have been sitting here waiting to hunt. Billy is just walking around the camp looking at other dogs and talking to the hunters. He starts making his way back to Little Ann and I. In the buggy Billy digs us each out a weenie and feeds it to us. I swallow mine whole and look at him and ask for more. I don't really think he understood me because he just walked away smiling.
Face pale with terror, Adam's shaky hand moved to switch on the bedside lamp. Images of Fire and Brimstone, and writhing figures, - men, women and children all - screaming in pain as flames consumed their bodies, flowed through his mind. Eyeballs exploded, and liquefied flesh oozed into fiery lava pits, leaving nothing but a collapsed pile of charred bones on the ground before moments later the victim's human form was resurrected in its entirety, and subjected to the same agonising fate again. Over and over, ad infinitum.
From a very young age I’ve experienced and seen many unbelievable things, things that no child should ever see nor go through. One of these memories I remember as if it happened yesterday took place when I lived with my mother and her boyfriend. This man who I believed was kindhearted letting us move from our trailer into his apartment would go to be a person seared into my mind through fear and pain. After a few weeks he would start abusing my mother on a regular bases the same way he did to me. One night, he started striking my mother and even though I knew what could happen to me, I found the strength and tried to intervene.
My dear husband, I understand that you would do anything to get me out of jail; but it is not necessary. As you know, I am with child and they will postpone my death a year. They tell me of how you have fought to try to save me. You do all of this at your own expense. We both wish that things weren’t this way; but you don’t need to suffer with me. If you continue to defy the court they will have no mercy on you. What would happen to our children? They would be orphaned; I refuse to do that to them. You have to forget about helping me and focus on our boys.
Carmen Fuchsiello, a regular high school girl. One who gets all the boys, and is popular to everyone in school. Every morning, people would stare at her in awe, as she walked down the halls with her entourage right behind her on either side. There, by her locker, was her crush, Camden, waiting for her with every color rose in his hand, and my favorite band, 5 Seconds of Summer, serenading me behind him. He also held a sign saying Camden and Carmen Forever with a heart at the end. The two names went together perfectly, almost like they were meant to--
Nazis have taken over. You an your family have been sent away to suffer in a concentration camp because you're Jewish. This is what happened during the Holocaust. Millions of Jews died because of the violence, work, and living conditions in these camps.
Have you ever felt that you were not acceptable enough? That you weren’t worth anyone’s time or attention? That you just couldn’t fit into the bigger crowd? Well, just know that you’re not alone. Somewhere in this world, someone is facing the same struggles that you are facing. There’s a young girl that goes by the name Jenny. She knows that not everybody around her pays attention to her. However, she doesn’t care one bit. She expresses herself in her own way. A way that makes her feel that she’s beautiful. A way that that makes her feel that she’s important. She’s the one who inspires me every day to be me. So, what inspires you to let your light shine?
I open my front door; it feels heavier than usual, but only because my heart is weakening me. I know I have to tell her. I am truly burdened by this therefore getting it out in the clear will be better for the three of us. Mary, my wife, will hate me or will at least want to return it, in some way. I don’t blame her; I would want to punish myself too, but I know that whatever happens tonight, whether I tell her or not, I will feel remorse.
I don’t want you to think that I am being hard on you about Danny, but I don’t want you to waste your life and give your body to someone who is not appreciating you. If you knew that Henry was leaving with a woman and I was hook on him like I am now, you would say, “mom, if he loved you, he would leave the woman he lives with.” I was a fool for Andre and it wasn’t till years later that he told me he thought I would never leave him completely cause I kept taking him back. I devalued myself when Quinn moved in with him and I would still sleep with him. I was a fool.
Caroline, my dear friend, took ME to a theater performance. The main theme was that people were supposed to act like they were rich. Caroline said : “WOW! Have you seen that girl’s dress?! It is GORGEOUS!” she said. “No, I haven’t. Where is she?” “It is right there!” as she pointed her. She was red-headed with dark eyes. She looked like she was pale because of the lights, on the stage, but she really wasn’t, because, at the end of the show, we all had a chance to meet the actors, and talk with them, get a picture, and know them a little better, so Caroline went to go see her and we both saw that her skin was a little darker than we thought it would’ve be.
I am 21 years of age with no one to count on, no hopes for a brighter future, and feeling all alone trying to be the best mother I can be for Abigail-Rose. I’m wondering who can help guide me through my journey of motherhood and as a young woman, where I try to be as visible as possible in covering my emotions through a smile. I’m trying to show that I am a strong young woman, yet I’m scared to do or say the wrong things. I desperately hope no one will ask me if “I’m okay,” because then I’ll burst into tears.
