Dave Falls Diary Entry
Emma has just moved to Willow Falls, a town in the South that holds a history she doesn’t know about. Well, a history she doesn’t know about until she starts getting she starts getting flashbacks of what once happened there. Between the visions and finding her true identity, she meets Drake, a handsome but mysterious man who also has been showing up in her dreams. Emma can’t help but notice the attraction between the two, but will she be able to fine the meaning of everything before it’s too late?

Prologue:
I didn’t know that homeroom could change a life. Actually, it pretty much seemed impossible. Not that i thought about it. But back then, things were different. I was different. I’ve always been sensitive to the world around me. Every now and thing I would know things before they happen. Other times I would see glimpses of what had happened in a certain area long ago. But when i came to Willow Falls, I didn’t expect to happen what happened. I didn’t have any idea. And now, today, i sit at the bottom of the big Willow tree that played part in the drastic change of my life. I decided to write this all down on paper, to try to make it seem a little but more real. Not that it would help any. …show more content…
Chapter 1:
August 18th,
Dear Diary,
I had the dream again tonight. It was the same one as last night. Except this time I got a glimpse of the man’s eyes when we got close.They were gray, like nothing. It was as if he was empty inside. That was the only thing i could capture before somebody put a hand over my mouth and took me away. I still have that voice stuck in my head saying, “It won’t hurt.”.

I have a feeling that this dream won’t end soon either. I think it will keep replaying when I sleep. I don’t know why I’m having it. Ever since I moved to Willow Falls I’ve felt strange. I don’t know what it is, and these days I feel like I don’t know anything.

Emma

    Detailed Summary of a Man Named Dave

    A Man Named Dave is the third installment of Dave Pelzer's life. It tells the story of Dave Pelzer struggling to get money and to survive in society and how he tries to overcome his memories of being abused as a child. For those who haven’t read the first two books (The Child Called It, and The Lost Boy) this book starts with Dave remembering the last day of abuse with his mother on March 4, 1973. He describes being hit in the throat with a broom, pushed down steps and choked; he was then rescued on March 5, 1973. His childhood years with his mom, who is entitled as ‘The Mother’, were the most abusive years any child could imagine; but that was all a flashback. There are many spontaneous flashbacks and flash forwards throughout the book. In 1979,as Pelzer flies away from Southern California to join the Air Force in Florida he remembers the time in Foster Care when he had to learn things that even a toddler would know; like what shampoo is used for. After being adopted, Dave receives an endless amount of love from his foster parents, the Turnboughs, who treat him like no one ever has. In his teen years, Dave becomes a workaholic, trying to prove his worth. But unfortunately his work overtakes his education, and he drops out of school. Instead of doing things typical teens would do, Dave would spend long days working; sometimes he worked forty or more hours a week. However, later on Dave works on his education and receives his GED. In boot camp, Pelzer's drill sergeant reminds him of his mother, by the way he demands and barks at everyone. Dave gets even more discouraged when his letters to his father return to him unopened. He dreams of making enough money to buy a home for his father and himself. Even though Dave feels he has escaped his mother, at night he suffers from terrifying nightmares of her. He feels she has control over his dreams. As Pelzer travels back to California, he stresses about seeing his mom and he hopes…

    How does Hosseini begin The Kite Runner?

    I became what I am at the age of 12, on a frigid overcast day in the winter of 1975. I remember the precise moment, crouching behind a crumbling mud wall, peeking into the alley near the frozen creek. That was a long time ago, but it’s wrong what they say about the past, I’ve learned, about how you can bury it. Because the past claws its way out. Looking back now, I realise I have been peeking into that deserted alley for the last twenty-six years.…

    Personal Narrative: The William Knibb Memorial High School

    Growing up we all looked forward to starting high school, but how many of us enjoyed every bit of it? High school was a moment that I looked forward to; thoughts of doing what I finally wanted to flood my mind. In June 2008, I received my GSAT result and was delighted when I saw that I passed for the William Knibb Memorial High School; although a bit disappointed because it wasn’t on my top five list. High school was not everything that I expected. In a few days, I met a few nice people. The first week of school was amazing, but after a few weeks things started getting intense. High school; however, was no bed of roses, especially when it came onto the subjects, reports, and school rules.…

    Personal Narrative: Xavier Kohler

    I looked down at my brown leather boots and heard an angelic voice from across the room calling my name. I glanced up and seen Xavier staring at me ever so slightly. He was trying not to make it noticeable that he was looking at me, but I could definitely tell what he was trying to do. He walked over towards me for the first time since I have known him and I noticed that he was much taller than me. I am five feet seven inches tall, and he was easily a head taller than me. His chapped lips parted, and out of his mouth came that angelic voice once again. “Emma, will you do me the honor of being my date to the Prom?”…

    Glory Day Research Paper

    High school is supposed to be the best years of a teenager’s life and for me it was. The first high school I ever attended was Eldorado high school, home of the Sundevils. The first day of my freshman year I woke up to my mom’s voice that morning, “Get up!” she yelled from my room door. It was the perfect morning, the smell of pancakes and bacon coming from the kitchen and my dad ironing my clothes before he goes to work. The first day of my freshman year was just like any other freshman’s. I walked to each of my classes nervously in those crowded and long hallways but mostly filled with excitement because I knew there was a lot of exciting adventures to come. After the first couple of months I was no longer a random girl that walked the wall ways. Everyone I associated with called me Nayynayy, that nickname stuck with me throughout my whole high school career.…

    Dr Grimm Thesis

    My heart raced from the ridiculous amount of coffee I had consumed that morning. I tentatively stepped into the dark, empty classroom and took a seat in the second row. As an English major, I resented the fact that I was required to take US History 201. I disliked history, and I heard rumors that my professor, Dr. Grimm, was a tough grader. The only contingent that caused me to feel slightly happy was the fact that I would be in the same class as Hannah Colasurdo, my longtime best friend. I had known Hannah since I was ten years old, and she had been there for me though my best and worst moments. Little did I know that this history class would cause me to fall to one of the lowest points of my entire life.…

    Personal Narrative: House That Built Me

    I thought about the house that I grew up in. It really did build me and shaped who I am. I just had to remember what it taught me. The memories swiftly began to flow back. My house made me a tough as nails little girl who could pull herself through anything. My house made me intelligent. My house made me outgoing and humorous. My house taught me I can be anything that I want to be if I set my mind to it. My house brought back all of the memories of who I really was and what I was raised up to be. Suddenly, I knew the answers to all of the questions I had been struggling to…

    Tha That Man Monologue

    Day by day the man melted away, captured by nothing except the faint shutters of thought that escaped my mind, stolen. They took him from me, they stole his black hair and turned it into a matted, knotted mess. His faith and honesty were swapped for fear and paranoia seeping through the cracks of a damned home. I knew they would take him from me, eventually, and now that the day has come, the day the man’s chocolate brown eyes became a gaze of sorrow, I’d never felt more helpless. I’d allowed them to take the last peace of happiness from me.…

    Discovery Creative Writing

    The lingering light was immersed by the rapidly falling night. The once salmon, purple sky transformed into a vast expanse of jet-black that engulfed the whole town. Yet at the corner of the street, the house remained unchanged. Supported only by stilts, its shabby character inconsistent to the grace and elegance of its neighbours. Its door flung open and a large figure emerged under the flickering light juxtaposed by dark shadows, followed by ‘Don’t go Benjamin’. The sentimental tone evident in the melodious voice. But the arrogant figure departed blithely without regard for the tender values. ‘He shouldn’t have done that. Old wounds should never be reopened’, the old man whose eyes adamantly refused to leave the windowpane let out solemnly as though the times which he ran away from, caught up to him.…

    Personal Narrative: Shmuel Basch

    I want to tell myself everything that I wish I would have known sooner; however, I never do. Although it is a painful wound that seeming will never close, I do not wish to change the past. Everything happens for a reason, and I do not want to put my own selfish desires, before God’s plan. As I talk to the young man, I pretend to be someone else. I go by the name Jon. I listen and remember as he pours out his heart to me, like he always does when I have this dream. “So, Jon, have you ever been in love?” With a smirk on my face, I know exactly where this conversation is going. It used to hurt to talk about Anne. At first, I couldn’t even bring myself to have the conversation, but now, it is my favorite. “Do you mean with a woman, or myself?” Shmuel leans back, balancing his chair on its two back legs and laughs, “Don’t play with me old man.” Shmuel’s words are playfully cruel. His defiance and rebellion brings back vivid memories of when he was young, playful, and dumb. I neatly fold my hands together on the table before us, and wait. I listen to all he has to say about the love of his life, Anne. He talks about her fiery red hair that matches perfectly with her attitude, about the freckles on her nose, and about the way she sometimes snorts when she laughs. He tells the story of how he took her boating on their first date and how the boat had flipped over. Shmuel had thought that the date was ruined, but to his…

    Personal Narrative: Growing Up In High School

    The last time I remember something as huge as starting in high school was having to move to Oregon from Alaska, but for better or for worse, here I am, attempting to make my mark on this big blue Earth. However, Highschool was never always just peaches, cream, rainbows and unicorns. If I’m to be one hundred percent honest here, I was legitimately terrified of it, whether it be the totally reasonable fear of being stuffed into a locker by a bully or getting lost in a labyrinth of corridors and passages of infinite classes and broom closets. But those fears never truly emerged up until the final days of freedom that remained from my graduation of 8th grade. As the days drew nearer, so did my fear reaching the brim of a breakdown. I was scared,…
