Bubblegum Narrative

Imagery can be defined as the ability to form mental images of things or events. The Holocaust was the careless and brutal massacre of six million Jews by the Nazis, who were under the rule of Adolf Hitler, during World War II. In the book “Night” Elie Wiesel describes his harsh, devastating journey throughout the Holocaust by using imagery. During the novel “Night”, Elie vividly describes his experiences throughout the holocaust when they first arrive at Auschwitz and saw the fire, when Elie and his convoy arrive at Buna, and during the alert when a man tries to get an extra ration of soup.

In today’s society we all have fears, for instance many fear things like spiders, heights, or public speaking. Just like in “The Masque of the Red Death” by Edgar Allan Poe, one fear most everyone has is disease. Diseases today such as Hepatitis C, AIDS, cancer, liver disease, tuberculosis and so many more change so many lives every day.

when it was my little brothers birthday party, but it was also the day of my

On September twenty seventh I was the only one in the house so I got up at noon like always and got ready for work, it only took me a few minutes and so I had plenty of time to grab something to eat. I walked to the kitchen and looked through the cabinets finding absolutely nothing but some chips up at the very top of the cabinet so, I did

I looked down and I see stretchy pink stuff connected between my shoe and the sidewalk. I had to keep walking because stopping on the sidewalk on a busy day in Chicago would be like someone suddenly stopping during the Running of the Bulls. When I finally arrived to my car, I sat down in the front seat and looked at the bottom of my shoe. There was a big glob of pink bubble gum staring right at me. There was no way I was going to touch that jumble of a sticky blob. Once I arrived home, I went to wash my shoe in the sick, inattentive to the fact some of it stuck to the floor on my way there. I spent the rest of the night trying to remove the gum from my shoe. I, just like many other people in society, have had to take time out of my day to scrape gum off of my shoe because one person didn’t bother throwing their gum where it belongs, in the trash.

It’s Thursday, September 15 my supervisor Sherry Smith calls me into her office and tells me I have to go to Northwest Miami-Dade to evaluate a family of four. The first thing that comes into my mind is, “Oh great another Hispanic family.” She explains that there have been several domestic abuse complaints and they need me to be there by 6 o’clock today. I look at the time and it’s already 4:50 PM. Our office is in Fort Lauderdale; all I can think about is the traffic while making assumptions of the family. The last thing she ends with is, “Call me if you need me, I don’t want another melt-down.” In my last journal entry, I wrote about how I was in Northwest Miami-Dade and I had my third Hispanic family, but our values didn’t coincide even

It was sometime in the afternoon, Jace was sleeping in the baby room, grandma and me were in the living room. She then got the idea to make a cake, a strawberry cake, for her birthday. We got all the ingredients, mixed everything and put it in the oven. After the cake was finished baking. We took it out, and the middle of the cake sunk in!! We couldn’t stop laughing, but at the same time we were a little upset. But we iced the cake anyways and ate it, & it was delicious.

For my birthday in September my parents gave me an ultimatum, I had to choose between 50 dollars, or I could go on a two week hunting trip. At that time I was a hunting fanatic and chose the hunting trip without a second thought. So a month after my birthday we flew out to Wisconsin and got ready to hunt at my Dad’s parents farm. We got there at about 4:30 p.m. and were debating on going hunting, But I was so gung-ho on hunting that I convinced my dad to take me just for a little while. I was so anxious and excited to be hunting that my hands were shaking.

It was a cold morning; I only remember this because that was the day the Lakers won their first game. I opened up my email, and I saw a message from my friend Stan. I had not spoken to Stan in six months, so it was weird that he messaged me. He invited me to his house party. It was a long drive, so I hesitated; but there would be free food.

It is also assumed that the act of telling a story can provide insight into past, present and future events (Espinoza, 1997). By going through this process, individuals can find the importance of certain events and assign roles to people who are a part of their story. This act can allow a client to find new meaning and understanding to their reality (Espinoza, 1997). Not only is a

I moved the large pot, which was full of soup while staring in the delicious carrots; garlic, potatoes, beans and other ingredients, which went all in circles a lot of times as I heard the bubbles, popped and stem. The soup had a lovely smell, which made my stomach rumble and made me taste some. As I took a little amount of soup and ate it, it made my tongue brunt while it gently slides down my throat. As I looked down, suddenly the entire stem came to my face and made it warm. I could hear the bubble pop more and more and I could smell the delicious soup, and I knew it would not be long until the soup was ready.

In the beginning of November one of my best friends Cheyann turned 18, she was super excited about her birthday because she was going to have all her friends around her including her younger sister, her two other girl best friend and myself. She made plans for her birthday to be downtown as more of a “girls night out” fancy dinner celebration. She asked me to drive us downtown to the mall, so after grabbing a parking ticket we drove around and around the cold, concrete parking garage to about the 3rd or 4th level. As I got out of the car I noticed that there were only a few cars around us in the dim lit garage, it was around 6pm so it was already dark and freezing cold outside. All us girls started walking towards the doors that led to the elevators laughing and talking loudly in our heels and short, fancy dresses when Cheyann stopped dead in her tracks and froze up.

Religion had a powerful influence on William Blake during the Romanticism period. As a poet, William used imagination, presented emotions and the concept of nature. He placed his voice through the words of his poems. In “The Lamb” he displays the teachings of Christianity. William Blake strives for the reader to embrace the Creator outlooks of innocence and wildness. In “The Tyger” he tries to make the reader understand why such an animal was originated. However, the author emphasizes to the reader the purpose of God’s creations.

It was December 30th 2017, my 13th birthday, I just needed this day to go the way I wanted. Last year my 12th birthday, was probably the scariest day of my life. It all started on our way back home from my Grandma Suzie's Christmas in St. Louis, just about a three hour drive from our little town Glenwood, Iowa. We were driving right behind my Uncle Jake’s truck with his three kids and wife. It had snowed about 4 inches the night before so the roads were slick and chunks of snow and ice were scattered throughout the whole road. As I sat in the back seat and I looked up from my phone and ahead of the car to see Jake’s truck swerving and drives straight off the road and flips to its side. My heartbeat stopped. My dad pulled off to the side of the road and jumps straight out and ran to the car with my mom. The car was laying on the driver’s side of the car up against a hill, right on Uncle Jake. My Aunt Jamie had gotten out no problem through the window and was struggling harder than ever to get her kids out, that’s when my mom hopped right in to help her. I stayed in the car to call 911. My dad went straight to his brother's side of the car and made an effort to pull him out using every muscle in his body. It was 18° outside and he still had sweat going down the side of his
