My Lai Essay

By juxtaposing thought-like text that reads as an internal voice with telegraphic and candid statements, George Saunders’ language in Pastoralia remains rather structurally consistent; however, works to convey various sentiments through dictional and contextual differences.

returned to my friend Megumi’s apartment on the fourth floor to retrieve my phone. When I arrived, the door was ajar. I was about to grab my phone from the varnished coffee table, until I saw someone, a girl, with her luscious hair wafted to the side on top of the veranda. I realised, she was jumping off into the lake below! What was she thinking? …But wait, could it be Megumi? This was her apartment after all.

In my writing assignment I chose two of the essay questions about the novel “My Antonia” by Willa Cather. I chose question number three and question number four to write my essay. And question number three the author uses symbols from nature to express essential aspects of the lives of the characters.

I look at my pale short legs thinking ‘I need to shave.’ I sigh realizing that summer isn’t close to being over and I have nothing to look forward to. I grab my phone and head towards the kitchen searching for something to eat. I see my mom preparing dinner “Hi mom” “Hi sweetie, what are you doing?” “I don’t know, I need something to do this summer.” I sigh. “Why don’t you go volunteering, all your friends are.” My mom suggested. “Where would I volunteer at?” I questioned. “I’m allergic to cats

Scraping and tapping at my window; almost begging me to get out there and play with them. They are the most beautiful creatures in the world, you know? The way they have the ability to soar anywhere they desire. To explore the far edges of the horizon, flying over trees and escaping from the world on the ground. The day began to unravel, as any other before it. The weather fine, the children giggling and playing with one another in the yards. I rolled my wetsuit on, making my way down the hill to

Dark Sun He was my sun, my shining beam of light, my shining ray that warms me to an extent, that doesn’t seem achievable to man. His gentle, and sympathetic words, inspired me, and constructed me, he was perfect. My world was sparkling, and colorful, it was sugar-coated, and honey-slathered with compliments, inspiration, encouragement. I knew I could rely on him, He was, to me a soft teddy bear, you could snuggle anytime you wanted, or needed. I adored him, I cared for him, more than

allow myself to live like this. After we got home I went straight to my bed, and immediately began sobbing into the life size teddy bear, that has been stuffed in the corner of my bed for as long as I can remember. I complained about how tired I am of trying to live a happy life. I wrap my arms tighter around the giant bear, as if he may spring to life and offer me the comfort no one else cares enough to give me. I look up through my eyelashes, that are soaked with tears, and stare at the face of the

most random thing I have seem. Justin turns towards me and gives me a strange look. I now realize I have the largest smile on my face and I actually giggled a bit when she did that. “You have been staring at Bella, a lot. I really can not believe she has not noticed. Wait! Are you in love with her? Why did you have to fall for her?” I am not smiling anymore; I’m gaping and my eye are as wide as an anime charaters. “How… What… Umm… Dude… Gah!

My disastrous date I never been one to go on dates or should I be truthfully honest, no one has ever had the desire to ask me on one. However It just so happened that the man that I have been crushing on for several months now, finally had the nerve to ask me on a date for the upcoming Friday. Being a single mother it was kind of a big deal to get away and relax for the night and have a nice dinner without chasing or yelling at your four year old to sit down and eat.

On the first day of school, the first thing that comes to a student’s mind is what teacher they are going to have and if they are a good teacher or not. No student wants a teacher who is extremely difficult and makes the class teach themselves the material instead of teaching it to them completely.
