Our journey began one day at a doctor's appointment. Minds' full of unanswered questions, we sat and waited for the doctor which seemed like an eternity. My sister sat patiently in the examination chair not knowing the long road that lies ahead. Emily loves soccer, her family, having fun, and most of all scaring her grandma. Right before Emily's softball season, she began to have nagging headaches day in and day out. Tylenol and ibuprofen which she took every day were the only thing that suppressed
The chiming of the doorbell startles me. Who could that be? I’m not expecting anyone today. I hurry to the front door, stand on my tip toes and peek out the peephole that is slightly higher than I had wished. I don’t recognize him, I thought as I opened the door. I know better than to open the door, but curiosity gets the best of me. He is a well-dressed, good looking young man who politely offers me a set of steak knives if he can come in and show me his product, which happens to be a vacuum cleaner
was called out. Because her mom was a single parent all 3 for her minor children had to live with their not much older sister. I watched her life dismantle before my eyes. Looking at a girl who had everything, but ended up with nothing due to the death of her parent made me aware of reality. My mom always told my sister and I that if anything were to happen to her we would be finically fine.
have simply moved on as if nothing had happened. To make the long story short, I was a wealthy forty year old man without his place in life and who held himself responsible for the death of an innocent twenty year old woman…no not even a woman, a girl really. I had intense remorse, but not a chance of redemption. Death with its ultimate finality, had taken that away from me. I still
I’m sitting in the car crying praying my dad gets us to the hospital fast. We are going 90 miles an hour flying down the highway to Shawnee Mission medical center. Blood is gushing all over the car. my mom is screaming for a towel, so my blood doesn't stain the leather seats in the car. It all started 10 minutes earlier when we were leaving my cousins house. I was climbing into the car and as I was getting in the car door shut. It was my brother and he didn't see me on the other side of the door
I arrived at the house on October 13, 1982 at 1:15 AM. I found Arthur laying on his back, at the end of the stairs. There was also a glass in his left hand. The robe that Arthur was wearing was still neat and nothing on the wall, by the stairs was disturbed. I believe that Queenie is guilty of killing her husband, Arthur.

passing; something changed in me, darkness filled where love once was. I always knew deep down, that my mum was not going to make it; however, knowing this did not make it any easier. She died on December 4th 2008. I could not come to terms with her death. Not only was I left with many questions but I also felt like I should have spent more time with her. I had

Humans have the tendency to explain the world around them through rationality which, according to Barbara (2001), brought to develop the ability of telling stories.

The explicit imagery and pinpoint details of personal stories express an unbridled sense of awareness throughout the narrative.

chosen to analyze are After Twenty Years by O. Henry, and The Cask of Amontillado by Edgar Allen Poe. The point of view in After Twenty Years creates an effective narrative by making the characters mysterious.

Also, because the story is told from an impersonal perspective, it makes the climax of the story that much more shocking. This is shown by the fact that Jimmy is
