The Day Lewis Short Story

Sometimes in life, situations may knock you down to a breaking point of giving up. These situations can make you or break you; but whatever you chose the choice is yours. Challenging circumstances can make you feel as if the world is caving in on you. Moreover, you must learn to push through your trials and tribulations and get back up again. Life never said it would be easy, or challenging. You must continue to keep dreaming, and keep that hope alive within your heart, and strive to become a stronger solider for the next mountain that may come against you. In life, we will not always see good days. However, your good days should outweigh your bad days. As long as you have breath in your body, you will always win the battle that’s ahead of you. The story of Lolo Jones exemplifies this breaking point, and the discouragement she experienced to doubt her dreams.

In the book Miracles C.S. Lewis discusses what miracles are and challenges the reader, Christian or not, to think philosophically on how and why they happen. He uses ideas such as naturalism and supernaturalism to help readers understand the idea of miracles, but also makes sure to point out that miracles do happen, and they happen for a reason. That reason being because God intended them to happen to maintain control on Earth as well as show his sovereignty. Some people may think of things being 'out of control' in the world to be riots, an uncontrollable plague, or even a three year old kid throwing a tantrum, but in reality what if 'out of control' is anything that has resulted from the fall, anything that God had not intended? C.S. Lewis states, “By definition, miracles must of course interrupt the usual course of Nature...in the very act of so doing, assert all the more the unity and self-consistency of total reality at some deeper level”(97).

She also begins to understand emotion better, and think about it. “‘What…. do you love, Lily?’ No one had ever asked me this before. What did I love?” (Kidd 139). Under T. Ray’s care, Lily was still developing her sense of self and beginning to feel deeper, but T. Ray didn’t really allow her to feel or be who she was. When Lily is finally freed from T. Ray’s stifling attitude, she has the freedom to explore being a teenaged girl, and to figure out who she it with Rosaleen, August, May, June and Zach.

We have managed to take the village about 10 miles out of normandy after fighting for 2 days taking out a small german armoured division consisting of panzer 4s and about 20 infantry.

Thankfully we were able to call in airsupport i remember hearing the stupid grouts yelling ¨ Es ist der Jugg laufen!!¨.

Today I can finally see my surroundings even sometimes my mother's eyes. Just 35 days ago I couldn't do anything. I ate, slept, slept some more, woke up and ate again.. I sleep day in and day out in my mom's pouch. It's very warm and cozy I have a lot of time to think and develop. I spend many hours or even a day in total darkness. Every once in awhile I’ll come out of mom’s pouch. I feel the bright sun on my fur, and smells that come from the forests. I love seeing the new surroundings every day. I hate being in the dark cramped space. Mom tells me I’m very different than her other children. I still don't know if that means or if it's even good or bad. My nose is just starting to come through. Mommy says I look a lot like my father. Which I wouldn’t know because he left right after mating with mom. I still am very tiny though, but it's a long process.
