Levis: A Fictional Narrative

Levi memoir used many figures of speech on the memoir function.In the early chapters, he often reflects the events that he told through his memoir,"Dawn came on us like a betrayer; it seemed as though the new sun rose as an ally of our enemies to assist in our destruction. The different emotions that overcame us, of resignation, of futile rebellion, of religious abandon, of fear, of despair"(16). He reflects dawn to be an enemy as they continue to survive and be a man. Their emotions seem to define them on their identity not being taken away and not even by the dawn with personification characteristics. To be a man was to be able to resist this anything as a threat to taking away the identity of a man. Also, Levi uses anthropomorphism and extended

As once stated by the notable figure Frederick Douglass, “If there is no struggle, there is no progress.” This statement is accurate in essentially every reasonable aspect of both literature and life. In fact, even a single act or mistake could considerably affect a person or character’s entire life. In the story “The Things a Brother Knows” by Dana Reinhardt, a teenage boy named Levi was greatly affected by his older brother Boaz’s decision to join the United States military and become a Marine. Because of this choice, Levi is led to an unforgettable journey through his emotions and family and endures countless memorable experiences to become closer to his brother and bring him back home, both mentally and physically.

Primo Levi was born in 1919 in Turin, Italy, into a liberal Jewish family. Gifted with intelligence, Levi entered many prestigious schools at a young age, frequently becoming the youngest, smallest, and cleverest of his class. By the age of fourteen, Levi was admitted into the Massimo d’Azeglio Liceo Classico, a school noted for its anti-Fascist teachers. Levi received a degree in chemistry from the University of Turin in the summer of 1941. Before his graduation, Italian Jews began to lose their basic civil rights and their assets. Jews were no longer allowed to enroll in university as new students, though thankfully Levi was permitted to finish his degree. However, the Italian racial laws prevented Levi from obtaining an appropriate

Valentina padded quietly down the short hallway and let out a long, slow breath before she stepped around the corner, and then back into the kitchen. She found Cole stirring his mashed potatoes and her meal in the microwave, where she walked over to watch the black container spin. It crossed her mind to thank him for starting her food for her, but he spoke up and cut her off before the thought could cross her lips. He wanted to know about the tapes. Of course, she knew the conversation was going to happen, but she was rather hoping she’d get to sleep first.

We walked in a comfortable silence before I made us stop outside the school library, I need to know what he remembers and how he feels about me. “Um, Camilla, I'm pretty sure is this the library, not the science lab.” “Uh. It's camEEla. And I know, I just.” I took a deep breath before I continued. “Do you remember anything about us, or how you were in school before the accident?” “Um. N-no. Not really. Why?” “Well. Um. I'm gonna tell you everything, but can you do me a favor and try not to ask any questions until after I finish telling you everything?” “Yeah of course.” “Um. Okay. Well, for starters, I'm your girlfriend, and you used to be a really bad person. We both were, but you were worst than me. You would lock people in their locker, shove people for no reason when they walked past you, and one time you got suspended for going into the girl’s locker room and taking all their clothes and putting it in the cafeteria. And before you were attacked I was gonna break up with you because you were a real jerk and the feelings that I had for you aren’t there anymore, and now I don’t know what to do because I know that you’re not the same person you were before and I think I have feelings for someone else bu-” “Camila. slow down, I think we should break up too, at least for now. Until I get situated with actually being conscious. I mean, you’re beautiful and

What did Louis look like? What if he didn’t want to date me once he saw me? I just got out a relationship, what if that bothers him? My fingers fold, and shake as I wait. The minute I saw him, I was shocked. Puberty hit Louis in college, and he was handsome. He had shaggy brown hair, scruff on his jaw, and cheekbones that were more structured than my life. He was still small, but he looked fit. His thin lips spread into a smile the instant his blue ocean eyes meet mine. The black ink on his tan arms makes me swoon. Louis had grown up to be the type of man I wanted to be

Miss Clark had came with a boy taller than Jerry, he has brown golden eyes with dusty hair, then Miss Clark said “ this is Dan he was the last person to see Jerry today”, I told her “ thank you”, after that she left me with Dan to speak. Before I spoke a word, Dan looked at me & said “ just follow I'll show we're might be”, I didn't even know what was going on anymore. When we started to walk I asked him “ do you know Jerry, are you and Jerry friends or something?”, he looks at me but doesn't respond back he just keeps walking. After a while Dan turns around to say something me, I stop & he says “this is where Jerry comes to play with other kids & over here is were there's hole were he hides when he wants to be alone, when you asked what Jerry was to me he is more like a little brother because he always looked up to me as his older brother”, I felt the water in my eyes, my lips were in a shape of a smile & the heart I have in my body was pumping fast as ever, this is a sign of happiness to me. Dan saw my face & said “you will take good care of him I know you are”, then he smiled &

"Lacey!", Jessica yelled across the room, "We are going to be late!" Lacey and Jessica are cousins and best of friends. Today is Rebeca's, Lacey's sister, wedding, and they vowed to make it special. Lacey was so ecstatic for her sister, and don’t get me wrong, so was Jessica, but something was troubling her. She was distressed by the thought of Rebecca getting into trouble, because her soon to be husband, Luke is the head of the FBI. As you can imagine, that is an immense responsibility. Jessica couldn’t risk the thought of one of Luke's foes endangering Rebecca to get revenge. Just as they were heading out the door to get supplies they heard the phone ring ' ring, ring". Lacey picked up the phone and they both heard a voice saying "Stop

“I send you out with 3 and you come back with 4 Lyric. I’m impressed.” He says. “Dad. This is Bella. She just moved here yesterday, and had no friends so I introduced her to a few of my friends. Seth looks at my dad and says “Mr.Tyler. Lyric and Jacob are dating.” He says. “When did this happen?” My dad asks. “Today. They just got together at lunch today.” Seth says.

It was a mild summer late-night, a warm night breeze swirled the air, we had hung-out all day, and it didn’t stop as the sun set beneath the horizon. I was actually driving home when he texted and said, “Wait, there’s one other thing I need of you. Come to my house.” I was exhausted and a little exasperated, but nonetheless, I turned around and drove to his house. Upon my arrival, I stepped

She was comfy cozy, laying on the couch with a pillow and everything. As soon as I got a piece of paper out my desk to write Levi a letter, I heard Trudy say, “Oh, okay. I’ll see you in the morning. Sweet dreams.” My heart skipped a beat when I heard her hang up the phone and go to the bathroom. After she had closed the door, I knocked and asked, “Are you done with the phone? I’m about to call Levi.” “Yeah, I’m done. Edwin’s mom had to use the

While the weeks passed by, I wore the necklace that Levi had given me for Christmas. It was tarnished now, but I didn’t care. I never took it off. I showered and slept in it. As Levi and I wrote less and less. I thought of him often, but I started looking at other guys. That next day, I found out that Jacob Camden was interested in me. He was a charming, brown skin fellow that wore khakis, button up shirts, and bow ties. I didn’t think that he was my type, but I gave him my phone number anyway. Three weeks after we got to know each other, Jacob asked me to be his girlfriend, and I accepted his offer.

The day I first went to his house, was almost something out of a movie, big house, new truck, the backyard was incredible, and there he was getting out of the pool, he pulled me to him, the first kiss was somewhat electrifying. Talking for hours outside beside the lake, he revealed his age to me, 45, which I was not bothered by, after all my father was married to a woman 16 years younger. It had begun to rain, he led me into the house, gave me a tour of all the rooms, and then finally the last room filled with huge pillows, large open windows, and a fireplace, this would become where we spent the most time, a playroom if you will. Now, it wasn’t quite like Fifty Shades of Grey, but the sex wasn’t typically how most people did it, this was much more intense and slightly based around a fetish, we clearly

It’s funny how a tattered remnant of the past can show up out of the blue one day, bringing forth all of the thoughts and feelings associated with it. As I was cleaning my bedroom the other day, a frayed and faded green folder grabbed my attention, and I pulled it out from the pile of items I had intended to throw away. Looking through it, I recognized it as an old classwork folder from elementary school. Prepared to toss it back into the miscellaneous assortment, I caught one image out of the corner of my eye- a photo of my father and myself, taken after I had won my first Cub Scouts pinewood derby race. Years of memories flooded back, accompanied by a cacophony of feelings as I reflected on the events which had taken place since then. How

It was a Tuesday night and we were both sitting at a Whataburger. Earlier that day we got done seeing our recruiters for our monthly check ins. I was leaving to the Navy on November and he was leaving for the Marines on December. Things were going great for us; we didn't have much responsibilities, all we did was go to the gym and go to work. A few nights before the 17th I was getting off work late and Louis calls me and tells me to meet him at the back of the school. I asked why but he just insisted I come. It was a cool and quite summer night. Driving to the school in my beloved truck with the windows rolled down playing some loud, bass-filled music. I see where Louis was parked with another car that I recognize. A silver Dodge Neon which belonged to a guy named Claydon. They were parked backwards, hidden in the shadows. As I got closer I call Louis and he just tells me to park next to them.
