Kyle And Rose: A Short Story

Rose is unable to fully accept herself or the statements made by her mother throughout the chapter, until she reflects back on her relationship and realizes how her mother predicted this by the condition of the garden taken care of by her husband. She understands her mother finally and stands up to Ted, explaining to him how she was going to fight for everything in the divorce.

He turned his head toward me and peered at me through swollen eyes. “I begged her not to go with him,” he said quietly. “Do you hear me, I begged her!”

Everyone knows the connection a mother has with her children, it is talked about all the time. Imagine being the mom of someone who is like Rose, who has a mental illness, who is hurt. The hardest thing for a mother is looking at her child and seeing hurt crushes a mom. This can be seen in the story when Rose has a breakdown, which includes her hurting her mother, because her mom stepped in to try to stop her from hurting herself. “My mother put her arms around Roses waist and tried to hold her back” (4). This is very important becauses Rose is putting her mother,

This overly cautious boy somehow finds himself rushing into the battlefront, where Alison was being dragged without any plan of action or resolve: “What was he doing…” (79). We notice here that Kyle doesn’t even realize what he is doing as he incautiously rushes to the damsel in distress. This is quite un-Kyle-like for he had not properly conducted solution in overcoming the problem. Quite a change from the beginning of the story where Kyle would recognize the situation properly and come forth with proper procedures in order to confront it, like he did when he walked in the house with his shoes on and when he walked in the house with his dirty socks. Kyle changes from mentally rehearsing an event to bluntly rushing into action.

“He cannot stay here, you know that. Take him somewhere or leave the house!” His voice harsh, his face was red and angry.

His kind of punishment wasn’t a time-out or a swat on the behind as most children receive. His were the kind that affects a child for a lifetime. Rose has no idea whether she is about to be beaten or if she’ll endure other horrors from her

In the first three chapters, Rose is almost murdered by her friend, Clarissa’s, boyfriend, Matt, who was trying to steal something from her home. She was in the hospital deciding to leave or not. Rose later went out to find her friend with her(Clarissa’s) boyfriend, she ran out but later went inside to sleep. A couple of hours later, she went to the doctor that was telling Clarissa that her friend may not live.

The stairs creaked under her feet as Esperanza walked down the stairs and onto the cold hardwood floor. The house was dark and the atmosphere sad. Mama and the rest of her family were nowhere to be found. She looked down at her hands and remembered the day before when she had pricked her finger on the thorn of a rose, harboring bad luck. Had the rose really caused that much trouble? She couldn’t believe how much something so small could change her life so much.

His hands rose towards his throat quickly enough, his eyes wide and frightened. He seemed to have lost most of his strength when the girl left… He was only an adult, after all. Rose felt a little offended. Did they really think he could stand up to her all by himself? Rose, the leader of the True? She almost felt like laughing, but she felt like she would have to save it for later.

Having woken with the break of dawn, the man had showered, and allowed Azairah to sleep for only a bare few minutes before he'd ordered room-service breakfast and jumped on the mattress, akin to an impatient kid unable to wait for his presents on Christmas morning. No who witnessed his keen anticipation could have envisaged Kyle as a savage multiple murderer, or that, as they entered the park, he carried the severed body part of a dead man on his person. However, as a child raised in an impoverished household, a Disneyland vacation had been his unrequited wish, and now here he was, living it out on a gorgeous Floridian day, with a beautiful woman by his

The factors of traumatic beginnings to a conflict middle have finally ended with his fairytale ending. As David wakes up from his endless sleep he says, “She placed the palm of her hand against his cheek, stroking him gently. She couldn’t stop crying, but he could see that she was happy despite her tears. “Rose,” said David. She leaned forward.

“You’re the one taking her away. You abuse her. You accuse and belittle her! Shoot, you’re just a sick fuck who needs to be taught a lesson!” I spat at the man as I narrowed my eyes. He narrowed his own. He raised his gun and I backed away slowly.

        "Why in the hell did you put me out there to be killed?!?!" she yelled in a voice only a mother had. Jedediah twitched as his mate yelled at him. I tried to move away from him, but he just shoved me closer.

As the story commences to explain how every time Rose and Ted discuss matters, it explains that their discussion would

Maybe it was the tone, or the intensive of the being’s gaze as he spoke, but in the next moment, a rush of overwhelming anger seemed to pour from the one called Alex. “You told me to fight my own battles, but I was a child, Michael. I didn’t want to fight, I just wanted to be safe… as safe as I was before my dad left me here!”
