Sometimes We Cry

would cry and scream when I had to leave. He would put me in my car seat and my brother would get in the car like it was a normal part of life. I tried to hold onto him, I often pleaded with him to come home. It emotionally scarred me, no one at the age of four should go through that. When my dad left my mom it tore apart the life I knew. My once happy family no longer was connected. I remember distinctly the crying and screaming of my mom. She never hid how sad she was from us. Sometimes she

I read the poem “We Wear the Mask”. We live in a world where people put more value to material gifts and not consider the purity of humble acts. We live in a world where every moral principle has been altered into hideous events of selfishness and wickedness. We live in a fake world where commitment represents a breakable promise, or a hug can easily turn into a mortal stabbing. We put on our masks and spend 24 hours pretending to be a completely different individual. The poem “We Wear the Mask” prepares

maybe even “cry”, you should not give up, because life is something worth living. Langston uses an extended metaphor to show how he felt after trying to commit suicide twice: “Though you may hear me holler, And you may see me cry- I’ll be dogged sweat baby, If you gonna see me die”. This extended metaphor can be interpreted to mean that he doesn’t want to die anymore, and that it would take a lot more pain, whether it is physical, mental, or emotional pain. We’ve all had something we didn’t want

sweeping, mopping, washing laundry, cleaning of the tables and the counter top, and sometimes clean the yard. Most of the time I have to help my sisters with their laundry or sweeping, and sometimes cook for my family when my mother and grandmother are not home. When I have too much work at home and schoolwork my mother would help me finish my chores and we will be free for the rest of the day and when that happens we all spend time as a family and go eat or watch a movie. I have learned lessons while

quiet for the first time in 18 years, it was a bittersweet taste but more on the bitter side. All I could hear was my car slowly gliding, rolling over the bumps of the highway. I kept thinking to myself that I must not to cry, but I could not stop the flow of sadness How could I not cry after dropping my youngest daughter, Julie, off at Ohio State. The number of applicants at The Ohio State University in 1989 was 15,748 (Ohio State enrollment Services). I would now be referred to as an empty nester.

We always take the people around us for granted, we never seem to think that they want be here some day. Everyone gets a little mad sometimes and sometimes people get in fits. Yet when you lose someone your whole perception of life changes. You become extra chaos of the words you say and your actions. My great grandma was the my mother’s mother figure, since my mom is an irish twin her mother couldn't take care of her. So my mom was sent to live with my great grandma. My great grandma had thought

Along with the notion that the death of a loved one can affect a person’s relationship with themselves, is the idea that the death could also affect a person’s relationships with others. Throughout The Catcher in the Rye we can see that Holden is isolated from everyone else in the novel, yet before Allie’s death Holden appears to have had a normal childhood. Holden recalls playing checkers with Jane (Salinger 31) and going golfing (38), but after Allie’s death he seems to begin to pull away from

on my knees and cry, but as I did that I just went deeper into this dark place that seemed inescapable. It screamed the name of Jesus and suddenly the dark place went away. Soon after that dark but vivid experience, I found out some heartbreaking news. Her name was Tayloor’ Shae’ Johnson. She and I were so close that you could barely tell us apart. She helped me with all of my problems and everything that I was dealing with. Since my first grade year and her third-grade year, we have always been

arms, jumping and running like crazy and singing along with them after school. But when they don’t wrap their arms around me, I would cry and felt lonely. I don't know why I would cry just for that. Well, here’s a story of my day in Thailand. Preschool was fun for me in Thailand. The teachers taught us how to sing different songs about our culture and the alphabets. We also did some math problems too. I totally forgot what I learned specifically now though. I was known as the best student in my class
