My Favorite Inheritance I have always grown up with a close family; literally, everyone knows everyone’s business. I mean I never found myself particularly fond of this, but it is also comforting. We would share everything and do anything for one another. Once my great grandmother passed away she is sure to leave each child in our family with something to remember her by for the rest of their life. We all enjoyed what she left to us in one way or another. Some received furnishings, photographs, or family heirlooms, I received a simple necklace. I wondered why just a necklace why not something more, I mean I was grateful, but still I pondered on, “Why this necklace?” It is nothing extravagant, but just a simple pendent on a chain.

Then it all came back to me and I exclaimed, “This is it, this it this is the necklace the one from when I was a little girl!” Once I realized she remembered I was over joyed it must have been ten years since I last saw it, but she remembered and I am glad I did too. It still is important to me and she must have known that, I recall when I would sit on her lap and be oh so joyous she would tell me silly little jokes and about how much she loved her family. I would play with her necklace and she would tell me what a beautiful girl I was and young lady I am becoming. It is one of the many memories instilled into my head by her. Every time I feel I need some luck or sense of security I reflect on that memory, but now that she is no longer around I believe she left it so I could feel that way all the time. I try my hardest to be sure I put it on every day I wouldn’t know what to do without it. Some days when I really am thinking heavily of her I look down at my necklace and smile. I never though a little trinket could bring so much joy especially with how I got it. I cannot even fathom not owning it or if I would have received something else. If I could get by with never taking it off, I would not even dare do it. It is the keeper of many happy times sad times, but a great gift a great thing to pass on to my children as well. I would greatly hate myself if anything were to ever, I repeat ever happen to it. Whenever my day seems to be heading in the
It was the only thing she had left. The only remnant of her old self.” (Brian 257). Throughout the book, Ariana keeps going back to the priceless gold necklace. It is the thing that makes her.
Working at a job full-time serving tables while enrolled in school with a full load is difficult enough, but when students decide their scholastic achievements lack the certain luster that may provide a means to support themselves and their family, it becomes useful to try one’s hand in the athletic dogma that is college sports. According to Show Them The Money, written by Donald H. Yee, his most important statement is, “we all know that the sole focus for many star college players is getting ready for pro ball, that coaches are looking for financial security on the backs of teenagers and that boosters enjoy the ego stroke that comes with virtually owning a piece of the team. There isn’t anything inherently wrong about these goals, but there
The necklace has helped me through so much and I have used a necklace of similar appearance to mine in my short story series, I’m Broken. So, for the story in my journal, I decided to write a short extra for
Every person has on object in their life that is very precious to the, for me, it is my pearl necklace. They are small and round and a lustrous cream color with a pink sheen. They have a tiny gold clasp that holds the necklace together. My pearls tell a story than no other personal artifact can: my heritage. The pearls symbolized tradition and womanhood in my family’s life, and they were to be worn with dignity and pride. Every holiday, the girls of the family accessorized their outfits with the pearls given by our grandmother. They were something we all had in common: the thread that linked our generations together. I recall looking down at my Nana’s casket and I could almost hear her voice whispering

My bracelet sits under my bed, so that I will not lose it. It sits in a box with all of the other things my brother has gotten me over the past couple years.

In The Inheritors Golding attempts to highlight that man, the chosen creature of God, is beyond the concept of evaluation. Evaluation always favours progress but this is not happening with man. As soon as he gets chance to use his free will, he takes very little time to slip back towards his primal stage of evaluation. For many years in his life, Golding had lived in that part of England, which was embedded, with the signs of the remotest times in human history. Living in such a place, it was not surprising, then, that Wells’ The Outline was an important book in Golding’s life.
Everything I carry is for memories. The papers, the jewlery, the photos and thoughts, the hope. The thing I’ve carried the longest is my necklace. A thin silver chain with a small amethyst gem. It was given to me on my 16th birthday, really the day after. Right before the Christmas dance. I wear this necklace everday and only take it off when I really need to. My younger cousin comes to visit me and whenever she sees it she calls it a little star. Whenever I get nervous I just hold it and move it up and down along the chain. Of the many things I carry, this necklace is most important to me. Crammed in all the corners of my pockets are silly things, wrappers and receipts, loose change and scrap peices of paper I’m too lazy to throw away. But
Aileana never failed to surprise and please me. Her gift was perfect. I’m looking at an amazing pendant necklace made in gold with a sturdy gold chain. The flat round disc is of a long-haired woman sitting on a surfboard floating near rocks in the surf with a seal in the water close to the surfboard. The woman and the seal were looking at each other. The image was done in relief. I absolutely loved this pendant; I would wear it always and have a part of Aileana close to mah heart. I could wear it under my Selkie pelt. I don’t believe I could have received a better gift.
After a few years, the bracelet is now faded to a light blue, like the color of the early morning ocean. You can no longer see the characters on the bracelet, it’s too faded. However, to me, it means way more than a faded and worn out piece of rubber, it symbolizes our families love, loyalty, strength, both mentally and physically. It relates to our families culture because all of the children are taught loyalty and love. I believe that with a strong foundation, which would be love and loyalty to our family, you can be
