“What is the purpose of having an eternal life I cannot enjoy not even a second of it “those were Rosalie’s constant thoughts for almost a century. Rosalie was a normal person who had a normal boring life that she sometimes complain about, a devastating accident turned her life upside down making her want to kill herself she was not able to have a normal life after that, something that she spent years dreaming of and looking for in every single place she goes to, something that she saw in the eyes of every single person she met for more than ninety-nine years because she could no longer deal with the infinite repetitive and instable life she lived, always running away and hiding her condition from people, neighbors, policeman and every single …show more content…
Then, she went to her apartment, took her cat, her clothes and the most important thing a “film reels” This latter is fragments of tales that tell her life; She was born December the second, 1907. She was married to a military agent. They had a nice daughter named “Kate”. She lost her husband in a car crash it was a tragic accident that made Rosalie widow. Their car crashed because of a thunderstorm. They both passed away at that moment but then something magic happened like a miracle. Suddenly, lightning strikes over her dead body and bring her back to life. She has survived, only to realize that she became immortal, and since that day, her age remained 20 years old for many decades. She spent weeks in hospital unconscious but when she got cured the first thing she did was changing her ID card, passport and her addresses, in short, her identity. By time, her daughter appeared older than her. One day, the police arrested her; they asked her for identification, she forgot to give them the new one, so they realized that she was too old to look like a twenty years old teenager, shocked, the policeman said:”Madam, since you’re born in 1907, so you should now have 85 years
Bella Moore had always been an easy target throughout her life. She was kind of those girls who always followed rules, never missed a day at school. She was a bright student, but nothing was good in her life. She was adopted by an abusive mom. She got bullied at school.
Lucy Grealy tells a story about not fitting in, unbearable pain that takes up residence in one's head as loneliness and confusion, questioning what things mean, being scared and lost in your family, enduring intense physical pain, and most importantly, figuring out who you are. Lucy had no idea she might die, even though the survival rate for Ewing's sarcoma was only five percent. She does not present her parents as overly afraid for her life, either. Her autobiography is not a story about the fear of death, but about such courage and anguish. Lucy shows how she falls under the spell of her disability, allowing it to control her life and dictate her future to a greater extent than it would otherwise. Having a disability means that
In the short story “Portrait of a Girl in Glass” we see that Laura “made no positive motion toward the world but stood at the edge of the water… with feet that anticipated too much cold to move” (Williams 110). On this edge, she created her own little world. Some like to live in an illusion of what they want or wish they had, while others prefer to stay in their state of misery and allow it to consume them. As it becomes familiar they start to be numb to anything until they start to be pulled out of it, though they will resist anyone who tries. Amanda Wingfield was the only person who tried on a daily basis to pull her daughter out of her lonely world. She did it out of love for her daughter, but the way Amanda went about doing it just seemed
She had abused a cocktail of prescription drugs that lasted over ten years which now had become a part of her life. She had attempted suicide numerous of times and had been committed in the past to a psychiatric wards. Still after that her essence that was Marilyn remained untarnished.
An immense pressure bore in her head as she slowly awoke from her midday slumber, her daydreams slowly fading away from her mind. Reality sunk in, and she found herself awake. Dim light shone through the windows and it pierced her eyes, worse than a thousand needles ever could. Her mental screams sounded that of countless condemned souls, shrieking for life
One night, thoroughly past her bedtime, Georgiana crept stealthily downstairs to sneak a bite of pie, even though her mother would never approve. She immediately realized a heavy drape of desolation. The only noise was her heart beating to the rapid rhythm of the twitching fan. Georgiana thought that no one would be awake at one in the morning. She slipped through the doorway into the kitchen. For an instant, her heart stopped. A dreadful sight stood in her way. An innocent and isolated individual lay with his hand grasping for life, but it was already over. Taking a step back, she
The emotional focus of Alice Walker's story is rage, red-hot and isolating. As I read this piece, I became livid, not only at the thought of her devastating
I was immediately drawn to Rosalie Hale because my thirteen year old self adored Twilight. I happily devoured the books in hours and awaited eagerly till past my bedtime for Breaking Dawn to be released. When I first looked over the project, the book series popped into my mind, bringing back all of my feelings for the novels before. More specifically, Rosalie Hale’s character. In the book she is often overlooked and seen as the jealous, stunning snob that just didn’t understand the gravity of Bella and Edward’s irrevocable love. I thought that, too, until years later when I realized that Rosalie had proven to be the only voice of reason in the novels that will speak out against Bella Swan. The facts that I
Another view that she has on life is that not everyone wants to live an extraordinary life full of excitement and serving the greater good. Hazel believes that when you die you do not go and live forever in heaven. Hazel shares that “I’d always associated belief in heaven with, frankly, a kind of intellectual disengagement” (Pg.110 L43-44). I believe Hazel’s views about life relates to T.S Eliot’s poem The Love Song of J.Alfred Prufrock when he says “No!
When Alice was eight, she was accidentally injured while playing with two of her brothers; the shot from a BB gun left her blind in one eye and emotionally scarred. No longer feeling confident in herself she retreated into the world of literature and introspection which she later claimed enhanced
desire for a meaningful life. For Emma, “… all the bitterness of life seemed to be served to
Nevertheless, they are ever-seeking, ever-intrigued yet repulsed by the wonders and tragedies of life. One of these cannot function in a state of perplexity; cannot live without a reason to live.
Hazel can't hold her breath or even go on a plane. This book makes me understand what it is like to have some type of disease that can stop you from having fun until the disease is done. This story relates to one of my family members who has diabetes. This stops him from eating types of specific foods for him to be safe in his life. This book made me know the trouble, pain, and stressful process into being sick for the rest of your life living an unhealthy lifestyle not knowing when the day comes for your life to end which exactly happened to Augustus. Hazel and Augustus had an unbreakable bond which made them to connect and to not be afraid to share what they had been through and to share them with someone you really care about. This book helped me to not be afraid and to share your feelings with someone you really care about so that they can be able to get the help that you need which made my life alot
She was hurt and while she did not want to move, she knew she had to get out of the road. She tried to move by sliding her body across the paved stones. She breathed in and out. It hurt too much. Tears of agony slipped down her face. She could not speak and she wanted to scream, but all that came out were gurgled sounds. She was born defective. she reached her arm back to feel her leg. She could not feel it. She sobbed uncontrollably for a couple of minutes. Her boy cap laid disregarded. Her long blonde hair touching the stones. She was lucky, she should have died.
