Personal Narrative-A Separate Peace: Fact Or Fiction?

However, Sarah’s life becomes muddled when her mother leaves her and her father in a small little town. With her mother gone, her father becomes numb, and Sarah has to fend for herself. She often ventures to the “Not-A-Forest” - a group of trees that had once been a forest - to escape the mess her life has warped into.

2 yards was the distance from the tree and I. The foreign feeling of confidence was pumping through my veins. Like the lemonades they consistently offer us when it’s too warm outside. To my left, with a slightly slower pace, was Gene. The look of unfeigned adoration in his eyes beamed down at the. Slowly encouraging me that everything would be ok. Which is the information I already knew from the beginning. With a pace to match a ferocious beast, Finny was to my right, running with a slight passion of endurance in his stride. He was eager to get this over with. The sooner we do, the quicker we can walk moxie to lunch. With the thought of food racing through my phlegmatic heart, my stomach let out a subtle growl. Gene let out a chuckle and

She lays helplessly, hopelessly tranced. What will remain of her in the coming hours is unknown, but one thing is for certain, I will remain by her side until she is an empty house, cold and unseeing. Though sorrow may fill my bones, all that I let show through is a sense of tranquil energy in lieu of the recent events. She mumbles and murmurs longing for the life long past. Embarrassment occupies her brain as she contemplates why and how her life has come to this. She reeks of stupidity and frailness when her life was nothing close to that. She fears that what we leave behind is more important that what we were. Is it though? Regardless of what she was or what she has become, I am here and I will always be here.

It was a hard rain that woke him up, the pitter patter on the windows and the clunking against the metal shackles. Tennent lifted his head off his blocky, drink stained pillow and headed toward the door. The sound of glass breaking whistled behind him as the liquor bottles sprung off his bed, being dragged by the blanket he held onto, like the pain and regret that were held in the shards would always follow him. He finally reached the door as he turned the bolts to lock as he always forget too, and started crawling to the mini refrigerator that hid in the back corner of the room. As Tennent crawled to the iced bar he remembered why he was only supposed to stay in this over expensive motel for a few nights, having to help his mother though the latest and recent flu that’s been going around.

The air was crisp and clean, as it was a mild autumn day. Throughout the forest, the sounds of nature could be heard. Birds chirping, leaves falling off trees in the midday breeze. The calm sounds of the woods gave way to a new sound: the gentle humming of a young female wanderer, on a quest to visit her grandmother. She quite enjoyed the sounds and view of the forest, as it was her favorite thing to surround herself with as she was growing up in the village not far from the forest edge. As she strolled through the winding paths of the forest road, she thought of the wonderful experiences of the day ahead with her grandmother.

"Try not to go too deep into the woods, Viola." That's the one thing that father had dependably let me know. Every one of the grown-ups in the town said the same thing, so it appeared like a platitude told to kids who wanted to play in the woods. The wind blew, making my skirt and golden braids sway. Holding the hair out of my eyes, I turned upward. Through the holes in the green branches over my head, I could marginally see the blue sky. It was a hot summer afternoon, and there I was, in the forest. There was an incredible woodland close to Salem Town, the town I lived in. The forest, which was abundant year-round, was extremely helpful for the villagers. A prime example how it is useful to the daily life of the villagers in our modest little

Based upon the various factors which intersect to create one’s identity in society, I would describe myself as a white, cisgender male from a middle class background. Additionally, I would define myself as heterosexual. Furthermore, my parents are married and I am the oldest of four. While my family is not wealthy and vacations are rare, I have never spent a night hungry and neither of my parents has ever been laid off.

“Jill! Wait up!”. It was nearly midnight with grey clouds looming overhead, yet Jill’s blonde hair glowed against the darkness of the forest. Her ponytail trailed behind her as she ducked and weaved through thick bushes and the trunks of trees. "Jill!" the Boy panted - fog rising into the night's brisk air. Jill climbed atop a shelf of rocks before stopping in her tracks.

As my car pulled up to the entrance to the Hart’s Woods and my brother Adam, my mom and I got out, I felt like my brain was melting because I had gotten a very late start to this assignment and I had no idea what I would write about. When we walked into the woods on the paved pathway, it seemed as if we were walking into a portal from Suburbia into the very small tract of land taken up by the forest.

Though I have no recollection of this, my family often explained that as a young child I was quite rambunctious. I’d repeated refused to participate in activities, had poor grades, and had interesting temper tantrums. Most adults believed it was caused by a lack of attention or a distrust of others. However, I’d felt as if I received all the attention I required and trusted most people I knew. In reality the issue was caused by my dissatisfaction of how gray the world seemed and I lacked a creative outlet to counteract this. This all changed when I receive my first handheld system. My parents immediately noticed a drastic improvement in both my behavior and learning pace afterwards. I was astonished at what such a small device could accomplish,

Her arm ached with every step she took through the woods in the cold, under a sky covered by rolling clouds closer to black than white-- Rat-black, dirty grey. Any minute, rain would start to drizzle, and then pelt, and then savage the woods, driven by wind that already made the forest canopy murmur and growl.

As I felt the hot air hug me, she looked at me with a panicky face worried i was gonna tell her secret. They are brother and sister you see it now in how their eyes are red and and there nose’s has a slight crook in it in the same spot. How did i not know this before? How could i not put it together?

The church I am serving has a kind of conflict. It has been for a while. The kind of division has never been solved. There looks like two different groups that are separated, and they do not like each other. They seem to harm each other and people in the both group are hurt becaue of the situation. I notice that some people try to harm other people by action and words and some people harm other people without notice and intention. In both ways, they are hurt a lot and their conflict keep remaining because of the scars from hurt. As Reuben Job says, “giving up favorite position” or “disarm,” (26) people should disarm not to harm any more since they seem to happen to harm other people automatically without power to control. There are sometimes

She passed her mother and father in the living room, as she walked to the front door. They looked up and saw her, smiling and waving at her. She opened the door and took a breathful of fresh air, closing her eyes for a moment. She let it out, opening her eyes once more, and looked towards the forest. As she scanned the the forest line, she thought she saw a shadow flicker and a tall man in a black suit and red tie standing there, but it disappeared as soon as she saw it. She wanted to see what it was, but then she remembered the rumors about the place. How it was dangerous, scary, and dark. How there were creatures and anyone who went in, never came back out. She shook her head and walked down the street, greeting everybody she knew and smiling cheerfully. She skipped to her favorite place, a tall, beautiful tree that stood next to a small, clear blue pond. She climbed up the tree, even though her mother told her many times that a lady never climbs trees, and sat down on a slim, sturdy branch, where she had a view of the entire park. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the sunlight reflecting off something. She turned to look and this time, she saw a boy and a dog, standing under the

For much of my life, I’ve learned what it means to be the child between two siblings: conflict and isolation. Apart from the very earliest years, my older sister, Lauren, and younger brother, Sean, have been best buddies in the household dynamic. To this day, they spend much of their free time together, whether it be playing music, watching TV, or, most recently, going to a church separate from the rest of the household. Meanwhile I cocoon myself to my own specific interests and hobbies, and hanging with several very distinct friend groups that all reflect my differing personalities. Yet, being a brother to Sean rather than a sister offers a unique relationship that allows for differing hobbies and activities. Over the past few years,
