Charlie's Ramblings: A Narrative Fiction

This quote was chosen because Charlie desires to be loved, treasured, and essentially wanted like any human being would, but unfortunately his love was received in the wrong manner.

I believe that Charlie is happier when he is less intelligent before the operation. You know the saying ignorance is bliss? That's what I think this is. Sometimes when I get bored I think about things. This is one of them. Would you rather be happy and not know something bad is happening? Or would you rather be unhappy and know that something bad is happening. Charlie was happiest before the operation. He didn't know that his "friends" weren't really his friends. He didn't know that his whole work place was making fun of him. He was happy though. Then he was intelligent, and knew what everyone was doing, he wasn't happy. He knew his "friends" weren't his friends. He knew everyone makes fun of him. He wasn't happy. In fact, he was so upset that

Richard Evans once said, “Children will not remember you for the material things you provided but for the feeling that you cherished them.” Even though objects can seem like the most important things in life, children need to understand the purpose of family and how they can help them accomplish their goals. The short story “The Veldt” by Ray Bradbury captures the meaning of objects and what they can do to a human’s mind. Two children, Peter and Wendy, from “The Veldt” had a machine which could make you believe you were anywhere but an ordinary room, they called this a nursery. In this room was a virtual world where things seemed so real, these children believed they in fact were. One day in this seemingly magical home, their parents started

I can’t stop staring, and I know it’s bad, but… There’s something so enticing about her. I know it’s weird, and kind of stalkerish, but I just…. I don’t know. As soon as I got home, I ran upstairs so that I could avoid my mother. She’s been even worse lately, preaching about how “I need to accept the lord” and that “I’ll be damned for eternity because of my unfaithful practices.” and that “God doesn’t accept homosexuals. You need to change your hair so that you don’t look like one, and marry a man in order to carry on the Lord’s beautiful creations.” It’s ludicrous. She’s only upset because I refuse to follow in her footsteps and give up all of my faith whom, according to her, seems to hate 85% of of the things that he’s created. I hate bashing religious groups because I always feel like a complete fool, but the bible says literally nothing against half of the things that these people are so prejudiced against. Christians like my mom, people that take it too far and way out of context are the worst.

In the symbolic task, six of the 15 children never found the toy, and six retrieved it only

“Have you met my cousins? Wait no! Because if you did you would know that they are the most annoying kids ever!”

Charlie planted the plan around me so my mind would be free of it. “I prayed I would never see you.” My eyes went back to my father. “Not because I didn’t want to see you. Oh no, I longed to see your face since the day Mother Country took you from me.”

As the weeks went by, Bass’ concerns about Charlie 's motives slowly diminished. She continued to stay close to him and the children and “Connor” was never mentioned again.

Charles Governor Jennings (my grandson) entered this world on a beautiful October day, what some might call Indian summer. His candle burned bright but short. Little did we know that by December he would be gone?

The family’s pet dog comes over to investigate and the children laugh when the real animal knocks a few of the toys over. They attempt to coerce the dog to play with them but quickly give up when she fails to follow directions as well as their imaginary animals do. “A” leaves the game and Chris continues to play, arranging the stuffed animals as if they were his audience.

Shutting the door silently behind him, he crossed the room, sitting on the bed so that he could reach both girls.

“Um, how do you do charlie” I said shyly. “ Fine kid say why don’t you get me a soda” Charlie said very rudely. “ Alright what kind” I said smiling. “Oh wait let me guess Grape right” I exclaimed. “ Lucky guess smartie , that’s my favorite kind” Charlie said astonished. “Ya I guess so” I said kindly. Suddenly Kibbles runs up and started to bark at Charlie. Charlie looked down at Kibbles, and he seemed very disgusted. Charlie kicked Kibbles and yelled “ Get out of here you dumb dog!” Kibbles flew across the room and hit the faded old yellow coach. “ Charlie that wasn’t very nice” I blurted. Charlie looked surprised for a moment then said “ I don’t have to be nice so where is my soda.” “ Over there” I said angrily as Charlie floated past me

“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you”(Maya Angelou). All we really want is for the story of our lives to be known. Charlie writes his letters to not only to make his story known when nobody else has the time for him, but also to help himself work through the many problems that he is facing growing up. While I believe that in the end writing letters helped him get through a rough time in his life, I still think that it held him back from having many social experiences that all teenagers should have. While writing has value to many, for some it can actually hold them back from experiencing life, as we all should. Charlie always seems to turn to writing so solve all of his problems but that is not always the answer;
