Sacrifice: A Short Story Of Sabrina Neyra

As I began to hear the testimony, I recalled all the various wars that have created us into what we are today. Brother against brother, kings that ruled the land, and dictators that overtook anything they desired. Survivors from various disasters have had a chance to let others hear and feel what they have gone through when they were younger like us. Cesia Kingston, one of the many survivors of the disastrous Holocaust, shares her many experiences throughout her life. Some too precious to forget, but others filled with pain and sorrow. Through every word Cesia spoke, they filled my thoughts like a wave, but at the same moment I remembered the times when pain and fear overtook me.

Imagine the pressure of being expected to follow your culture’s traditions even if you want to rebel and create your own identity. Carrying on traditions can be difficult for many young people who are searching for their identities as they grow up. Two texts, “Life in the age of the mimis” by Domingo Martinez and “El Olvido” by Judith Ortiz, tell about the struggles of losing one’s culture. One shows the reader that forgetting your own roots simply because of being ashamed or embarrassed can really harm you, while the other demonstrates that forgetting your culture for the sake of fame and fortune can also do the same damage.

Catalina de Erauso’s memoir, Lieutenant Nun: Memoir of a Basque Transvestite in the New World, depicts gender relations in the early 17th century Spain. Erauso, through her detailed narrative of personal encounters with transvestism, reveals significant implications of the roles and expectations of the gender binary during this era. Her memoir evidently portrays gender binaries in dress, emotion, and interaction within society as she describes aspects of her journey from the perspective of both a woman and man. The male gender exhibits idealized masculine qualities, such as being violent and spontaneous, and the female gender exhibits idealized feminine qualities, such as emotional suppression and tranquility. Erauso expresses the distinct

For the most part, Representative Accardo, what your Nightingale colleagues have brought me is an actual relic that once belonged to my family,” Hannelore Elvira Bauer, otherwise known best as Germania, informed Action Andy of her findings regarding the artifact the Nightingales had found during the morning hours of the 31st of May.

In restaurants, she is not looking to cast aspersions at members of staff and/or look for mistakes, instead, she seeks for opportunities to compliment. This shows junior staff that she has an expectation of perfection not a failure from them. Further, when she shares problems with her juniors and seek their opinion, she does not browbeat them with her superior knowledge but seeks to show them that their opinion

She then goes further to show how she knows her work is worthy. She genuinely enjoys what she does and commits herself to being a waitress, despite the fact that at the end of the night she is exhausted. Dolores truly finds pleasure in serving people making them satisfied. From her extra work effort of complimenting people, rearranging food a specific way for customers who are hypochondriacs, and keeping the station clean. Dolores also shows how much she loves her work by stating. “To be a waitress, is an art” (85). By characterizing her job as an art form, she reveals that she wants everything to be perfect. She shows how she is oriental in the serving she wanted everything to look nice and she even felt like a ballerina going between tables and chairs. Concisely, she states in the novel that “the next morning is pleasant again” (91); clearly she looks forward to going to work and it shows someone who loves their job.

Rose helps the audience gather a mental image of what he experienced occasionally on a day to day basis; it was the 1950s in a Los Angeles family restaurant. Mrs. Mergalio would do more than just waitress, she could handle working the register and the counter with little to no help (Rose, 2017, p. 272). Sitting behind a desk all day, white-collar employees have little to no face time with the outside world or their colleagues. As a waitress,

Rosie had dropped out of school to become a waitress to help provide for her siblings. She took pride when working for the public because she learned something new every day.

Allie Hernandez is eight-years old when she finds out about the monster hiding under her bed. The day had started out like any other day for the young girl. She woke up with a little skip to her steps because the sun was shining beautifully that morning. She changed into baggy closes and wore ratty sneaker, but she didn't mind since her parents told her about them being tight on cash and not being able to buy her anything new. She skipped to the tiny kitchen in their small, dingy apartment. She grabbed her pink stool to reach her favorite cereal, Cheerios. She didn't bother to grab a bowl since it was too high up in the cupboard. She ate straight from the box and then washed it down by drinking from the milk carton.

In this generation, some people do not take relationships seriously. Sandra Cisneros explores the message of women falling in love easily with the wrong men in the stories “One Holy Night,” “Woman hollering Creek” and “Bien Pretty.” These stories show us how women loved men who did not love them back, left and hurt them. The women from these three stories shared what love did to them and what love can do to them anyone. When women actually committed on something or someone, they will love them endlessly. Although these women did not get the love that they deserve, at least they experienced something that will teach them lessons. Perhaps the next time they will love someone, they will make sure that they will be love back.

On May 10, 2017, something remarkable happened. A bus driver by the name of Teresa Stroble was dropping off 56 kids at their respective bus stops and on that day when two children in the back said that there was smoke coming from inside the vehicle. Teresa’s quick thinking led all 56 children off the bus in less than 1 minute, seconds before the bus went up in flames. The South Carolina school district’s superintendent recognized Mrs. Stroble publicly, saying “Hero!! Ms. Teresa Stroble evacuated 56 students in under a minute. God bless her. So grateful for her quick action.” Though the reason for the fire is unknown, they are thankful for God for using Ms. Stroble to lead those kids to safety.

Oriana Camila Augusta lived in Pompeii. With her mom, older sister, and her lovably aged grandma. They lived in ordinary farm house where they were away from a lot of roman society and other people but still were close to the "mountain". Yet she knew lots of people in the city. She was one of those girls who knew a lot about their city. But unfortunately, they didn't like her. The whole town thought she was a threat to their society. All because she had fiery red velvet hair and nobody looked anything like her. Not even her own sister and they had the same parents. They had thought she was a punishment from the gods. Including that her dad and brother past in an accident almost taking her mother too. So life was pretty hard for her, but not
