During the spring of 1995, a woman who carries herself as a person of perfection, in every way possible, just moved into our neighborhood. Julia Larson at first appeared to be like Santa’s Wife but as time passes, the illusion of Mrs. Claus quickly morphed into the persona of the Cheshire cat from “Alice in Wonderland”. The women of the neighborhood sneer, while turning their noses up in her presence,once they became aquatinted with Julia. On the other hand, the men ogled Julia as they admire her silhouette, while she wiggles and jiggles in the presence of their significant others. Residents of the Westside neighborhood in Lima, Ohio quickly took on the roles of Private Investigators once they discovered, the stories she has told them, …show more content…
Lansing’s house a year earlier. They used to live in a beige house with burgundy trimming, on the left-hand corner of Elm and Garfield. There was somber news that occurred in October of 2013, we found out that he has Lung Cancer but it was on the edge of stage one and going into stage two. Mr. Larson was the almost like uncle to me and always has been kind enough to invite my brother and me over to allow us to play video games, play cards and he did not mind watching us for a few hours until my mother finished fixing dinner. My parents considered him as a very close family friend. Whenever Julia came over for a visit during that time, she would sit down gracefully into the wooden chair before us, while chatting with us over a cup of hot chocolate. She explains that Carter, her husband, would frequently bellow over throwing up constantly and sometimes it would be tinged with blood and then pass out for a couple hours, “I ask his to take his medicine but he will not do it and say he does not need the medicine.” She says in her very concerned tone but her body language read differently, her facial expression and her eye read that she is calm and as if she really has nothing to worry about. Wow, this woman does not even care about her husband, what gives? Julia kept the same story going that he refuses to take his medicine and all, as a result that his cancer has reached stage four by April 2014 and he looks so grim, gravely and very lethargic. His face has sunken in, you can nearly see his bones and he looks like Skeletor from He-Man and he could barely move without assistance and his walker. A couple weeks before he passed away, Julia took him with her to North Carolina, visit another man’s family. The man I speak of is called Eugene, and he just lives off of other women’s money, he cannot keep a job or care to have one. What I heard from other visitors of her house is that while
One day she was observed struggling to breathe. The author discovered that Karen had a bottle of tablets when he removed the bed covers. She had taken an overdose in an attempt to commit suicide. She was taken to Deacon’s Hospital Intensive Care Unit to pump out the stomach contents and also to neutralise the effect of the overdose. Karen had declared that she never wanted to go to the hospital should her condition gets worse. When Karen was now aware where she was, she complained to the author who apologised and said he would not let her pass on when he can do something about it. From Intensive Care Unit she was transferred to a private ward for recuperating.
After his stay at the Carpenters,he had gone back to the orphanage “ the home of angels”. The nuns had found out about the abuse that jennings had received from the carpenters, they determined that him nor any other foster child would be staying there anymore. Jennings had told one of the nuns that he was going to be sick, the barley got to a sink before it came all up. Jennings then had gone to the nurse, he had explained that he did not eat anything but jell-o powder. “ why did you eat jello powder?” sister frances asked. “ i was hungry, sister. I had to eat something.” “didn’t they feed you?” “tears came to my eyes. I shook no.” Then after a while of him staying at the orphanage, his mother had finally came to get him and promised to never do it again. Since he has gone to the orphanage, he had missed so many school days that he had to be left back into the second grade. Jennings feels like his life is getting worse and
Posters and pamphlets strewn across the walls accompany the harsh, burning stench of disinfectant. Passing the bodies of former men, and followed by the click-clack of nurses shoes, he sees him. Hollow cheeks, sunken eyes, every bone visible through the thin hospital gown. His love is a shell of the man he once knew, Patty is gone.
“Breaking News! During the afternoon of April 23rd, Dr. Phil Johnson was found dead in his office. The murderer is unknown, but luckily for us former detective Stan Walter, a good friend of Phil’s has taken the case into his hands. If you have any thoughts to who the murderer is please report it to the police. Back to you Alex!” The tv turns black and I look over to see who the culprit was and it was my wife Rosalind. “Honey, I know it’s devastating about your loss, but your food is getting cold. Now come eat.” “Ok” I respond, annoyed. At dinner my wife and I talk about the decision of taking the job as the detective for Dr. Phil Johnson’s death since he is my friend. Eventually, she gave in and let me go to my office.

It was July 31st 2015 just a regular summer Saturday for the Rodriguez family, the mother is cooking, dad is working, siblings doing their own thing, Melissa cleaning like always until . . . The phone rang for Melissa to go pick up but her mom answered. She ran towards Melissa and shakily passed the phone to her; “Hello?” she answered. “Hello Melissa, this is Bobby your Dad . . . he had an accident trying to break the new horse your dad said that as he was riding the horse and he was startled by a noise and the horse stood and flipped over and landed on top of your dad , he’s being rushed to the Methodist Dallas Medical Center I’m so sorry I’m praying for you and your family.” As she hung up the phone, it dropped to the ground. Melissa and
When Melinda started her first day of high school, she suffered from peer pressure with her best friend- who had just left her, and everyone had hated her because she ruined a party during summer break by calling the police. Melinda knew that no one knew the truth, but she was afraid to speak out about it. Laurie Anderson used the allusion of Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
There was a small tv blaring a report of a sports game on full volume directly in front of the couch with a small coffee table that was littered with cigarette butts in between. Jose the entire place stank of booze and smoke, I covered my nose with my jacket. “Treat yourself to something to drink”, he nodded towards the refrigerator. It was filled with bottles and bottles of alcohol. “Geez you should really take better care of yourself”, he rolled his eyes “kid it's my life I do what I want”. I sat down on the couch, I noticed among the mess of cigarette butts and empty bottles there was an old picture of what looks like him and a younger man with greased hair. “Who is this?” I pointed at the younger man,”It’s me.” “Then who is the older one?” I pointed. “That’s my brother Sven.” The tone of his voice changed, he sounded like mom on the worst day when she told me what happened. “He died when we were on an aerial raid in Afghan, the entire squadron got blown apart except me. I barely managed to escape.” He took a long drag, I suddenly got extremely heavy boots, it felt like I was being pulled down to the earth and there's nothing I could do about it. He extinguished the cancer stick, “I guess there are somethings that you can’t control no matter what.” I didn’t know what to
Meanwhile, Carol’s costume and performance paint her as simultaneously both more and less of an outsider than Therese. Establishing shots show throngs of holiday shoppers in dark wool coats and neutral colored suits, bustling around completing their holiday shopping. Then, the audience meets Carol. In an extravagant, caramel colored fur coat, a scarlet hat and scarf, and with fiery red lips and nails, Carol stands out from the crowd. Her slow, deliberate gaze contrasts the hustle of the shoppers. She is alone, while most other are accompanied by spouses, friends, or children, and she exudes an air of mystery and angst. Carol’s costume and mannerisms in this case align with Doty’s claim, however the classically feminine and glamorous way in which Carol presents herself complicates the connection. While Carol is in fact depicted as being an other, she aligns better with normative standards of female beauty and sexuality than all others in this scene. This notion is present throughout the film as Carol embodies the pinnacle of what women in this time aspired to exude; she’s elegant and witty, intelligent and compelling, beautiful and wealthy, and a wife and mother. However,
As I entered the pub where he was waiting for me, he greeted me with a surprising look and soon as I sat down, he threw questions at me “Where did you get all these”, “Are these new?". After that few glasses emptied as stories went on, his friend started to talk about last night. “Anyway,what’s happening to Paul now? Did he find it?” My eyes trembled with a question mark written on my face. “Paul was a guy who lost money last night, which was for his wife’s hospital bill, she has a cancer”. After his words, my throat dried, drier than this morning. I turned anxious, stiff, with the dissimulated look on my face, because in my head I could visualize myself spending the missing money.
Twenty-one years old my middle brother began to drink constantly on a regular basis. Problems back home had influenced him in drinking, but also the people he correlated himself with back then. He took quite some time to overcome his addiction, but during his intoxicated moments he resembled that of Victor’s family. One night during my brother’s intoxication my brother had come down to our house to get away. When my brother rang the doorbell, I quickly rushed towards the door, opening it to find my brother’s eyes bloodshot red. Walking in face forwards he slowly took what felt like one hundred paces to our red couch, which already contained a few broken springs on the left cushion. Once reaching the target he plopped down like a heavy book
The death of Victor has brought up emotional and behavioral responses from each family member. Isabelle and Victor were married for 53 years, so his death, of course, has been difficult for Isabelle and she is grieving. She quit her job at the department store because she was unable to concentrate. She can’t sleep through the night. Not only was Victor’s death traumatic, but dealing with the pancreatic cancer that led to his death was also traumatic for Isabelle and she continues to ruminate about Victor during the illness. She feels lonely and is afraid she will end up isolated and alone like the other widows in the neighbor, so she is thinking of moving in with Paul. Thoughts of her own death fill her mind.
Enchanted by her serene radiance, I did not disturb her. Suddenly she began to speak in a whispered hum that was more like a song, unique in a dwelling full of ranting outbursts. She spoke of years long past, swimming in the pond with her sister and dancing in the moonlight. I could picture all in my head, like I was watching a movie. Then she began repeating the story she had just told me, and I realized that she was merely talking to herself. Although this discovery disenchanted me at first, I soon realized that, although the woman was talking to herself, she still had so many fantastic stories stored in her mind. The residents of the home all had some life flittering in them and numerous stories to share; they just need someone to listen to them. After my experience at the home I knew that one of my goals in life would always be o help make sure that people were receiving proper treatment, and not merely stuffed away and drugged up.
She’s the “new type of other woman.” Alice Moore finishes dinner with co-worker, Oliver Reed, the man she’s also in love with. But he’s married. Alice leaves the restaurant and heads for home – with someone on her tail. She walks down a darkened, deserted street. Through lights and shadows as she moves along – street lamps illuminate here then there – Alice hears the footsteps behind her, as can we. Women’s shoes that click and clack as they approach. Suddenly the clacking stops. Complete silence. A deafening silence. Alice really grows weary now. She slows down, looks back slowly, deliberately, confused, scared. The menace, now silent, lurks ever more
