Creative Writing: Personal Connection
Personal Connection Jiyeon Min (Fan Fiction­The Death) The Death sat beside Liesel and breathed. An air of sadness rushed into his lungs, which seemed to choke the oxygen out of his body. But it did not bother him anyways so he just enjoyed the sensation of draining oxygen. However the only thing that bothered him was the taste of sadness that lingered on top of his tongue that lead deep into the lungs.

Black

Such sad color seemed to be the only thing he can feel at the present moment. Though there was his favorite color of blue over his head and colorful leaves that tasted like mixed candy, it was just as if those colors were not in the same place as he was. Just black, the pure blackness of Liesel’s dress and shoes approached him silently,

A different world. A place of pure black. The blackness of her atmosphere also did the job as well. It wasn’t like the Death despised and hated such color. In fact he was enjoying it, like a child eating a nice big cone of ice cream. After all, such pure black is not easy to taste as many are polluted or dirtied with other things. As Death quietly stayed, Liesel stood up and started walking. The bleak color of gravestones and dead grasses went along well with Liesel.

Death is something sad yet wonderfully pleasant, at least in the eyes of Death it was.
Death never meant everlasting rest or good byes. It was more like a new beginning where the dirtied souls clean themselves and light up the sky brilliantly until their time come again to dwell upon this land. Perhaps the reason why he thought that this place was full of resting stars is because he is the one who leads them to the dark sky above.

“Ah, so bright and warm”

The Death mumbled as he watched the girl walk along the grey path made out of

"Was he dear to you?"

Trembling fingers of Death stroked Liesel's cheek. It was burning red yet it was cold.
Now the wind was howling and the sun was cooling her body down. It was almost time for him to go and do his work. The guide to heavenly path.

"Rudy... "

Death listened to Liesel. Her voice was cracked from not drinking water and crying. But to Death it sounded just like a song. A song of lament.

"Rudy.. Rudy.."

Liesel's voice grew and took shape. It stared at the Death with its loathing eyes and it was growling at him.
'I hate you I hate you I hate you'

The words were crying out in agony as it cursed the Death.

'I hate you.. '

The words pierced through Death. There were no wounds yet it hurt. He knew that there was nothing he could do.

"Liesel.. Oh Liesel.. How I love to see and read and feel the lives of human. I love these weak yet strong souls and I love this whole but incomplete life. Ah... I love them yet I receive loath and hatred in return."

Death stood up and turned his back on Liesel.

"Your life is full of beautiful colors Liesel. I in other hand have only these bleak

    This Passage reminds me of the similar situation that has happened to Liesel when her younger brother, Werner, died suddenly during their trip to Germany. Similarly, Arthur Berg is also going through this situation, but with his sister dying in his arms. Also, when death, the narrator says that he "could sense [that] he would hold her for hours," it reminds me of Liesel shaking his brother as she doesn’t believe that he is dead.

    They can sometimes bring her joy when she needs to use them as basically a form of therapy, like expressed above, but other times they can remind her of the anguish of going through the war and losing a lot of her family. "I have hated the words and I have loved them, and I hope I have made them right" (528). This is the last line of Liesel’s novel, “The Book Thief”. This quote precisely supports the idea that Liesel’s relationship with books is very complicated and hard to define. Though she will continue to use/read books, the past will always be hanging over her reminding her of what she went through using books to sooth herself, as well as the burden books brought with their widespread…

    When Liesel saw Rudy “her hands were trembling” and she was “losing control and misjudging” things. Liesel was so shocked after seeing Rudy’s corpse that she started losing control of herself. She couldn’t accept his death, so she lost it and continuously tired to wake him up. Liesel described “Papa” as “a man with silver eyes, not dead ones.” Papa had silver eyes when he was alive so she expected him to have those eyes when she found him, but they disappeared and became dead after he lost his soul. His eyes “were all empty” and they “continued to rust.” After looking at Papa, Liesel said, “Goodbye, Papa, you saved me. You taught me to read.” This major detail expresses Liesel’s feelings towards her father, and it shows how important and influential “words” are to her.…

    One last element of a good death that I would like to mention is the idea of keeping something physical that belonged to the departed. In the 19th century and in 2015 keep sakes are symbolic representations of a loved one. Keep sakes help us to remember not only the departed as who that person was, but what the departed meant to us. It is a physical reminder that makes us remember that the departed…

    I have always had struggles and difficulties when it comes to writing. This is due to the fact that English is not my first language, and that I am still learning. I started to learn how to speak, and listen, and mainly write in English when I was in ninth grade. Writing has been the hardest to deal with it, because I have many spelling and mechanical errors and most importantly, how to organize an essay, but this changed when I took English 49 with Professor Lucero. In my first day of class, I was assigned to write an essay about my experience with writing. I was not completely sure on how to start my essay and how to organize it. When I was in High School, I did not write many essays, and the few I did, I have endless help. So, I just my…

    I jump back as a black feline shoots across the path in-front of me. I catch a glimpse of its matted fur; a screeching hiss pierces the night air as it encounters a mammal in the undergrowth. They say a black cat at night is bad luck, but I honestly doubt my luck could get any worse in light of recent events. “Get out, you don’t belong here anymore”, “Just looking at you makes me sick. Leave now and get out of our lives”. It’s funny how the ones who are meant to love you the most, can turn on you so easily.…

    To live, to breath, to feel is life. Waking, stretching, and interacting, moving through the day is a feeling which to lose would be unbearable. Death steals these moments; it removes the opportunities to breathe, to be with loved ones, and it leaves family behind in pain and torture and within loss. Dylan Thomas in “Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night,” emphasizes that death should not be accepted; it should be fought with rage and anger through his incorporation of intense word choice, figurative language, and dark…

    Demise, quietus, and death- all meaning the end of the life of a person or organism. In today's society, death is most commonly associated with grief, mourning, depression, and also suffering . In Aldous Huxley's Brave New World we are exposed to simple and passive responses to death based on the views and feelings of the chemically created humans in the new world. While the people in today's society will react with sadness and pain watching their loved ones taking their last breathes on a hospital bed, the characters in this book react with little to no emotions or feelings. Death is simply a powerhouse for phosphoric gases- a scientific use.…
