However, Sarah’s life becomes muddled when her mother leaves her and her father in a small little town. With her mother gone, her father becomes numb, and Sarah has to fend for herself.

She had walked quite a long distance from the lake towards the huckleberry shrubs when she suddenly found herself facing a grizzly bear just twenty paces ahead of her. She wanted to run away that instant but her instincts stopped her and she slowly tried moving one step backward. When she did that the bear came one or two steps forward.

I turned to see where it was coming from and realized my dress was on fire. Frozen with fear, I watched the yellow-white flames make a ragged brown line up the pink fabric of my skirt and climb my stomach” (Walls 9). Immediately, Jeannette’s mother rushes her to hospital and underwent a skin graft to ensure her survival. In today’s society, a young child cooking a hotdog is very scary and most parents will not allow it out of fear of what happened to Jeannette. The fact that her first memory is one that Jeannette feels fear and happens to be a memory that is on the other side of fear, danger, is important. Her life foreseen by her first memory is also filled with danger; yet, she does not have to view them as dangerous ones with fear. Due to the fact that these memories are from a perspective of fear leads her story to have a theme of fear.

Immediately evidence of child abuse is present. "Then the flames leaped up, reaching my face. I screamed. I smelled the burning and heard a horrible crackling as the fire singed my hair and eyelashes. Juju was barking. I screamed again" (9), opens the book quite shockingly. Immediately evidence of child abuse is present. Neither Rex nor Rose is present, while a three year old is alone in the kitchen boiling hot dogs. As Jeannette’s horrific screams could be heard, a sense of urgency is gained. "I smelled the burning and heard a horrible crackling as the fire singed my hair and eyelashes" acts as a far more detailed description of the specific neglection taking place. 'Horrible crackling ' as well as 'singed ' offer a vivid picture of exactly what Jeannette has had to endure due to Rex 's lack of

Jeannette was lit on fire. Her body was burned and she had to go to the hospital. She was making hotdogs in the kitchen as a three year old. Her mother was in the other room singing and painting. Jeannette bent over to give her dog a taste of the hot dog and her dress caught fire. She screamed and her mother ran in to help. Rose Mary tarnished the flames but Jeannette received hospital worthy injuries. They put her on a bed of ice while assessing her burns. “One of them squeezed my hand and told me I was going to be okay. “I know,” I said, “but if I’m not, that’s okay too.” The nurse squeezed my hand again and bit her lower lip.” (pg. 10) Even with the chaos of being rushed to the hospital Jeannette still remained calm.

There was a fire in Miss Maudie’s House and Mr. Avery gets stuck in the building. The fire started by Mr. Avery’s unattended stove overheated. A flammable object caught fire and set it ablaze. Most of the town comes to help Miss Maudie put out the fire.

That violent, crazy act was the last act of childhood. For as I gazed at the immobile face with the sad, weary eyes, I gazed upon a kind of reality which is hidden to childhood, The witch was no longer a witch but only a broken old woman who had dared to create beauty in the midst of ugliness and sterility. She had been born in squalor and lived in it all her life.”

She gets around them and manages to mount her horse. She encourages the horse to move, and soon they are sprinting down the street. She could hear the faint sounds of explosions and screams behind her. Whipping out her map, she finds a random route to follow. She pushes forward and ignores the chaos behind her. The trees become thicker around

Her mind awakened before her eyes could opened and a thirst plagued her. Soft lips were licked and slender fingers laced through locks that rivaled the darkness of a black sky, as though her mind ached. Finally, a fan of thick lashes lifted and one thing remained: the fire in those eyes. Though Bella could not recall the last few details of her turning, she knew that she had been turned. Fingers and she felt a slight weakness and a burning hunger in the pit of her being, but the girl trudged on with her new found self. Isabella sat up. The girl propped up with her hands behind her, fine digits sunk into the luxurious surface of a very ornate bed as she scanned the room. Alistair, was indeed there, but she stared at a nearby lit candle. The fire was so mesmerizing. The light dancing in her eyes as hunger plagued her, but she paid it no mind, despite how indescribably weak she was feeling. With a sift sigh her support gave out once more and she laid upon her side and watched the dancing flame of the candle. "Alistair." The name a soft whisper upon her barely hued lips. Surprisingly enough a soft little laugh escaped her lips as

As Brittany arrives at the forest the sight of the bright flames roaring in front of her eyes makes her feel as though she just got punched in the gut, she never expected it to be this big .

Old man firebird was proud of his little flame, It brightened his day to just hear his name, Not because of all the problems he overcame Rather despite them his sunny deposition remained, The firekid, he wasn’t perfectly dressed, Little rough around the edges, yet casually messed, He couldn’t help but be subtly impressed, Because he burnt savagely, But it hadn’t always been like this, You see, there were times he tried to hide his light Every firekid hits their moment of plight, To compress the brightness that would always ignite,

Starting off the book Richard is four years old living in Mississippi with his grandmother, mother, and younger brother Alan. This is the first time fire becomes significant, when Richard starts to become curious. In a household were the rules are so restricting you could barely breathe “All morning my mother had been scolding me, telling me to keep still, warning me that i must make no noise.” (Black Boy,pg.1) due to his grandmother's illness he spent all day inside a house being unable to be a kid and explore. He begins to become curious about the fireplace in his living room when his brother warns him against a rebellious act involving the fire and a few straws. After he learns what happens with the fire Richard describes, “My idea was growing, blooming. Now I was wondering just how long the fluffy white curtains would look if I lit a bunch of straws under them. Would I try it? Sure.” (pg. 2) This results in the first presence of fire,

John finishes unpacking his belongings and when he is done, he takes a seat right next to Josie. “Are you excited for the market tomorrow? Josie asks. “I’m ready for the food.” John says with a smirk. After that they both share countless amount of laughter, as the sun goes down, and the temperature in the house begins to diminish. They decide it would be nice to have a fire to get the home nice and toasty. John gets up and fetches some fire wood that is piled up perfectly against the home. He comes back into the house and sparks the fire. As he is doing so he feels a tap on his shoulder. “Here I made us some coffee.” Josie says with a smile. As they begin to relax they put throw their feet up they really begin to know each other. John can’t seem to get enough of Josie. Every little thing she says he seems he will remember forever. John cannot seem to stop throwing questions left and right at Josie as he wants to know every little detail about her.

Trust is everything in life and without it being able to make rational decisions would be impaired consistently. Being able to trust ourselves in the decisions and actions we take in life determines our overall well-being and confidence. The soldier battles a lot of internal trust issues and the narrator exhibits this mood throughout the poem. One line that depicts the soldier’s trust issues is “I don’t know who to trust” (line 2). It is understandable that the narrator would have a hard time trusting those around him because on the battle field it is either kill or get killed. Trust is something that takes a while to build and soldiers are encouraged to trust their team members because they can either cause the mission to go sour or very successful.
