Personal Narrative: I Was Remembered By A Wasp

irregular gasping breath and erratic heart beat in my ears. I managed to push myself up and tried to

I could feel the acid in my throat; I desperately needed water and couldn’t keep any food down. I had felt like this for the last three months but no one believed me. I started to doubt it myself, my mom said I was fine so why wouldn’t I be?

Sean Connery stated: “Some age, others mature”. In Sue Monk Kidd’s The Secret Life of Bees, literary devices such as indirect characterization, symbolism and allusions are displayed. Throught Kidd’s novel, these literary devices help to present to the reader that Lily has undergone changes, developing her into a more mature character over the course of the novel.

When I regained consciousness, I tried to open my eyes to check my surroundings. However, being so long in darkness, I could hardly see anything. By the stench and the "beep... beep... beep..." sound around me, I knew where I was. A while later, my eyes got used to the bright light and could see much more clearly. The first thing I saw was a doctor looking into my eyes very closely. When I moaned at him, he backed up and smiled. " You will be fine. Just a little painful; doesn't bother too much," he said. Then he turned to my mother, and they chatted for a while. Before he left the room, he turned to me again, "Rest some more." He smiled again and closed the door. His smile was so warm, but not as warm as my mother's. My mother walked up to me, and she pulled a chair and sat down. I was too afraid to look into her eyes; she would be so disappointed because I crashed the brand new car. It seemed like my head weighted 20 kilograms, and I could not pull it up. I

Introduction. There are more insects than people in this world. Every person in this world will be bitten, stung, or attacked by an insect, at some point or time. The different bugs on this planet all have different reactions for each person or animal. Insects will always survive and continue to plague living creatures with their bites and stings. First you have to be able to identify the different bites, stings, and punctures. To avoid the dangers of each bite, people must be able to notice the differences and effects of each insect attack, so they can receive medical help if needed by a General Practitioner.

A couple years back when my mother had back surgery, I would always help her up, which I seemed pretty good at, because she would always say, “Whenever you help me I can never feel it. You are really good at this.” At that time it had gone in one ear and out the other. That’s not until two years ago when my grandmother was really sick, so we had to stay days with her because she couldn’t be by herself. She was sleeping the whole day, so something just told me to wake her up. After I woke her up, she sat up for a few minutes. My family gave her some medicine and then her eyes started rolling behind her head, and she was unresponsive. At that time I rushed and called 911. The whole time I felt as if I was in a daze. At that

I began convulsions as my brain was trying to stimulate my lungs to get more air. My eyes began to close and it was extremely hard to open them and keep them open. I soon started seeing black surrounding my eyes and everyone became a blur. I was not able to respond to anyone because I could not get enough air to both breathe and talk. I could hear their questions like “Mariah, can you hear me?” or “Hello. Mariah. I need you to respond.” I felt quite scared because I was trying my hardest, but nothing was coming out. The lady said my oxygen level was 58 and I was near respiratory failure, so I needed to get to the hospital. I began to become very nervous and uneasy. All I could see was black and my body could not stop shaking. The paramedics were in serious mode because due to my unresponsiveness and uncontrollable shaking they assumed I was having a small seizure. I got into the ambulance and they put an oxygen mask, which helped me breathe more than I could imagine. Once I arrived at the hospital they took me back to a room and gave me an oral steroid and a nebulizer treatment. This immediately

The Brown Wasps by Loren Eiseley’s essay demonstrates how human sense of place and self can be based on fantasy. Through his writing, he depicts humans and animals clinging to things they are very familiar with. Eiseley illustrates how humans and animals tend to act in a similar manner by comparing the homeless men who find shelter in train stations with the scenario of the wasp that continuously revisits its hive for accommodation. This is evident in the manner in which both men and wasps die in their special areas. Eiseley depicts homeless men coming to die to the train station benches as similar to the death of wasps in the paper homes. He notes that men sit and cling to benches at the train stations and at times fail to leave the benches

I saw her lay her eggs and watched as her larvae matured. Through my observations, I realized that the scary red wasp wasn’t so scary after all, but was in fact fascinating. From that moment on I made it a point learn

The spider's venom causes the gangrenous death and decay of the tissue surrounding the site of the bite. While some persons only experience intense itching, others report the symptoms of chills, itching, fever, nausea, sweating and general malaise (sickness and discomfort). A blister forms, with the potential for a volcano lesion to develop, and may take as long as 8 weeks to heal. Though rare, death may occur. Due to the large numbers that can be present in a home, when present, professional pest control in Fort Worth is strongly recommended.

In 2014, my friend fell victim of wasp stung, he got stung on the back of the leg by a wasp, he saw the wasp exiting his boot and he felt an immediate pain in the spot he was stung at and everywhere around was numb. He had to drive from school to home for 30 minutes, by the time he got home, the back of his entire right calf was swollen and red. Whenever he walked on it, it felt like being stung again. He then tried using ice to stop the pain, but that worked briefly.

I started taking even, deep breathes, and I felt it begin to loosen up. It felt strange; like something cold was flowing through me, through my veins, into every piece of me. I felt calm for the first time in awhile. That was when I felt something damp hit my face.

We swiftly walked back to the chairs to call the doctor’s office. The first thing they asked was “is she breathing?” well if she wasn’t I don’t think I would be calling you, I thought to myself. I told them that she was breathing fine, but her left side of the face was very swollen, red and warm to the touch even though she had ice on it. The nurse informed me that I should get her to the hospital. Since this was her first time getting stung and with the reaction she was having they felt this was the best thing for

Ask your doctor about an EpiPen: If you've been stung before, you may have had only a very mild reaction as a result. However, there is no way for your doctor to determine whether you'll have the same reaction or a much more severe one in the future. A stinging insect allergy that previously resulted in moderate swelling the last time may turn into a severe reaction that results in anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis is an extreme reaction where you may have difficulties breathing, dizziness, or

Hands were wrapped around my neck. I couldn 't breathe. I felt something touch my hand and I let out a sob. I tried to calm myself down. This isn’t going to happen again. I
