Essay on Creative Writing: The Story of Angel

The forest had gone.... and the Witch looked much younger. Audette opened her eyes and had found herself upon a brow of white lilies. The shape of the shrouded old woman seemed changed. Having turned around, and opened her mantle to the tearing gusts, Meliza revealed to the young lady two streams of shinging blackness and smooth white flesh. Audette stopped in her tracks.

In the story, Angel is portrayed as a normal college student who is in need of money. She and her friends saw advertisement on their campus about selling eggs for money. It means that there are people that are going to pay a woman that willing to get pregnant and give the baby to them. However, due to her black skin, no one wants an offspring from her. To assure that they are going to get the good genes, they want it from her perfect, tall, white roommate, Laura.

Lily saw her mother as a bad person for abandoning her. August explains to Lily that her mother made a mistake of leaving her with T.Ray. She also tells Lily that her mother tried to fix it be returning to get her. This conversation is an important factor when Lily learns to forgive her mother and herself.

Furthermore, this becomes a drastic change for Lou Ann, because Kingsolver introduces Lou Ann as an emotionally weak and broken character. In the beginning Lou Ann, “cried until her eye sockets felt empty.”(Kingsolver 34). This happened due to Angel leaving and Lou Ann could not handle life without him. But, Lou Ann who used to be dependent on Angel for everything is now letting him go, and is becoming a stronger woman with the help of Taylor. When Lou Ann hears Angel in the house, instead of running to him and greeting him and begging him to come back, she decided to leave it be. Lou Ann also begins to experience independence, as she adjusts to life without her husband.

Lily finds out that August has known who her mother was, and that Lily was her daughter. Lily was very hurt by this but August knew she was not “ready to know about her. [August] didn’t want to risk [Lily] running away again. [August] wanted [Lily] to have a chance to get [herself] on solid ground”(236). When August gives Lily time and space to come to terms with her mother leaving her with T-Ray, she moves on in a way. She understands that her mom must have had a reason for leaving her. Lily also gets closure when August tells her the full story of her mother being at the Boatwright Household. August explains to Lily that she left T-Ray and Lily because she was depressed, and just not herself. August tells Lily “after she’d been here three months and was feeling a little better, [Deborah] started talking about how much she missed you. Finally she went back to Sylvan to get you”(254). Knowing that her mom was coming back to get her, allowed for Lily to get rid of some of the hate that she had for her mom. Now Lily knew that her Mom did love her, and did not want to leave her alone with T-Ray. Although Lily gets rid of some of the hate for her mom, she still had some of it. She still hates her for not bringing her along with her to the Boatwright’s in the first place, and for leaving her with T-Ray for those couple of months. August explains to Lily that her mom had made a mistake

It was a lovely spring day on April 6th, 1977 when a little girl was delivered. This delivery was not your normal delivery; it involved hours of preparation, but not your typical preparation. For the last seven and a half months a mother had been carrying this child in her womb. Running out of options she visited a clinic called Planned Parenthood hoping for advice. They advised her to have a late term saline abortion. This abortion method causes the next 24 hours to be an ongoing battle as the child will burn from the inside out before the mother delivers the lifeless fetus. Not until after the delivery does the abortionist confirm the successful abortion. In this instance however, this little girl received a miracle.

I could sit here and share with the board a sad story of a young child whose single mother worked the graveyard shift every day of the week, just to provide for her four young children. I could also share how despondent that I felt growing up, and how my mother shopped for my clothes from thrift shops, how she would get excited when she found something named brand for us. But I won't do that, instead I would like to introduce you to a delightfully chaotic little girl named Audriana- Faith. On August 15, 2012 Audriana-Faith was born at 1:41 am, weighing in 6 pounds and 12 ounces. The day my daughter was born was a day embedded in my memory, but it was not the best day of my life. I know that's what you're supposed to say, but becoming a mother

1969 was not a normal year for eight month pregnant Teresa Keeler and her unborn baby. Sadly Teresa was beaten very badly by her ex-husband. Before the incident happen her husband told Teresa that he was going stomp out of her .with God mercy, the unborn baby was delivered a live with fractured skull. The persecutor tried to accuse the ex-husband with the beating his wife and attempt of murder of the fetus. Unfortunately, the California supreme court dismiss the murder charge by calming that the fetus was not a human being. Due to the public pressure the court had to amend the rule saying fetus murder only apply if the fetus is eight week and older.

Lily looked like Deborah when she was younger and right away I had knew why she had came. She had came because she wanted to know about her mother, and I knew that I had to tell her at some point about what happened. So I just let her stay. She needed to know the truth, and that is what I was going to tell her, but I didn’t want to talk about her mother too soon. That would get a better risk of her running away like what she did with T. Ray.

Angel describes her complex relationship with saying that “tried to kill me, swallow me, consume me back into her body, the way fire burns itself away, uses itself as fuel” (Hogan 251). Hannah is mentally unstable and attempts to destroy her own blood relations in order to satisfy her needs. Hannah suffers from one of the greatest sicknesses known to man and will go to any lengths to relieve her needs (Forbes 16). Hannah inspires fear in her community and ‘religious people would never go near her” (Hogan 101). Monsters are described to be “our children,” and just as monsters are products, Hannah is a product of her environment who has come to reality and causes fear in her caretakers (Cohen 8).

Laurel nodded her head when she heard that Zinda would be willing to aid her in her efforts of keeping the city running smoothly. “With that attitude I think Ryder will love you.” She stated with a small laugh, her head shook from side to side. “Even before the outbreak I always had a hard time sleeping.” She reached her right hand up and placed it against the back of her neck, rubbing at it. “So it really doesn’t bother me all that much.” She nodded her head. She knew what Zinda said was true, that she should try and sleep more but that seemed easier said than done. She really tried to sleep at night sleep just seemed to elude her, it was never there when she really need it. Like the night they got back from the Farmhouse, all she wanted to do was fall asleep and forget the whole events that had taken place there. Sadly that didn’t happen, she stayed up all night thinking about how she could have done thing differently, that she should have stayed with Kate.

During the visit she brought up Harry and the poor girls had a mental breakdown saying that he was a devil not knowing what she meant. After the visit Lisa went to go pick up Harry at his Aunt’s house and saw creatures locked up in cages in the basement. She told the police and they investigated it but they found nothing in the basement. When Lisa found out that Harry turns into the creature at night, she almost died. Turns out Nate, Saralynn, Dr.Shein and Brendan were covering up to protect Harry. The police caught Dr.Shein and the rest of the culprits, Saralyn and Nate moved

First of all, Lily’s feelings toward her father change when he expresses himself and screams that her mother never wanted her. T-Ray (her father) was angry at her after being in jail and was what drove Lily into leaving. A way T-Ray expressed himself was this way “Not funny? He yelled. “Not funny? Why, it’s the funniest goddamn thing I ever heard: you thinking your mother is your guardian angel.” He laughed again. “The woman could have cared less about you.” Kidd, the author, showed hyperbole in the statement by T-Ray thinking it as a hilarious statement even though it's something that was hurtful for his daughter. Kidd also expressed hyperbole by using the word “guardian angel” when in fact all she just thought of Deborah was as her mother

An angel is a pure spirit created by God. The Old Testament theology included the belief in angels: the name applied to certain spiritual beings or intelligences of heavenly residence, employed by God as the ministers of His will.

An angel. That's what I can describe about her appearance. "Angel" is the most suitable word for her that I can think of, maybe there is other words, but for me that is the most suitable word for her. Her skin is so white that onlookers might think that she is made up of porcelain, adding up with her black hair which is floating around creating a refraction of light, she gave out an aura of pureness. If I don't know her identity I might think that she is an angel who fall here to give me hope. Her face seems to be carved by a genius sculptor, and her ruby-like eyes is shining with crimson glow. But the expression that she wore is emotionless. With a perfect bone structure which made that flawless face, I, can see it, the emptiness that shown through her face. With her large greatsword that adorn by seemingly arranged silver ornament, she swings by all her might cutting all the enemies surrounding her. Blood spurting around like a carnival, but there's not even one speck of it that dropped to her shining armor. She swing and stab with vigor without any hint of tiredness, like a machine that is told to kill. There's nothing that can stop her, not even the (-- removed HTML --) which is blessed by the ultimate defense. With only one swing she cut-half the (-- removed HTML --) , Zog.
