Girl: A Fictional Narrative
"No, no, sweetheart-" She stops herself mid-sentence when hearing what she had just called her, trying not to dig herself into an even deeper hole "Kaitlyn. You're right, in your eyes, I must look horrible, so I don't know why you'd even want to keep me constantly updated if you could." She fluffs up her hair "And I really don't blame you for wanting to get away from all of this." She offers a small smile, still continuing to look at her though obviously noticing that she had been looking down. Hopefully this conversation, would put a little more trust into their relationship . She didn't really want to be an evil or bad force in anyone's life if she could help it, and certainly not someone who would be staying with

    In the nostalgic memoir, “Girl Interrupted,” Kaysen’s imagery helps her share her experience with having to spend nearly two years in a mental hospital after being diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. The patients of Mclean Hospital spent their days in empty rooms, and some were even lucky enough to have the ability to look out of “ tiny, high, chicken-wire-enforced, security-screened, barred windows.” Some people glorify mental illnesses or mental hospitals, but they do not realize the horror behind having to suffer from an illness. Living in a mental hospital is like living in prison since patients cannot escape until they are given permission by a doctor. In addition, mental hospitals contain “little bare rooms with…

With the deftness of a big cat prowling an African savannah, as silently as possible, Roger Nelson sauntered with great care along the side of the house to the front. But when he checked for the lookout, to his surprise, he was not there. He had deserted his post and the door was unguarded and open. Great! Roger thought. He was pleased at this turn of good luck for his mental gifts were noticeably and inexplicably compromised.…

    Tom wondered for what seemed to be the millionth time why Dectives were required to dress like wall-street bankers or stock analysts. At least that was the expectation in public, however the moment he had the office to himself, he unknotted his tie, slipped off the linen suit jacket, and undid the top button of his shirt, then sat back in his chair, raised his eyes to the ceiling, and tapped the tip of a ballpoint pen against his teeth. That was Tom's usual mode of concentration and contemplation, and so intent was the man's focus on the new case that all else slipped from his mind, even the recollection that he'd texted his wife. Therefore, the sudden familiar sound of her voice, accompanied by the enticing aroma of barbecue, startled him, and he immediately shot upright. The sight of Lila elicited a smile that only widened with the greeting and kiss. "Sorry baby."…

    Early yesterday morning, I saw that Cecilia Kang at the Washington Post had a story up about the years-long fight for white spaces entitled: Tech, telecom giants take sides as FCC proposes large public WiFi networks. It struck me as odd, because so much in the article seemed... wrong or misleading. The main part about efforts to finally do something with the old TV spectrum isn't anything new at all. We first wrote about the FCC "proposing" this back in 2004 and have covered it a few times since. The FCC has been trying to use some of that TV spectrum for better, more efficient and more useful endeavors. It's been an ongoing battle that feels like it's never going to end. The short version is that TV broadcasters got a ton of free spectrum many years ago (just look at how giant chunks of the spectrum chart belong to TV broadcasters). A big part of the move to digital TV was to force broadcasters to give up a chunk of wasted, valuable spectrum that can be turned into (among other things) some useful wireless services. TV broadcasters hate this and have been fighting it in a variety of ways.…

    I saw the blur of black before I heard the screech of my tires on the scorching summer concrete. The crunching sound of metal on metal rang through my ears. I felt the frigid cold of my dairy treat hit my bare legs. My body jerked as the car swerved towards the highway. 1 hour earlier, 9:00 pm on a mundane Friday night, I was lounging around with my closest friend when an idea popped into my mind. “We should go get Dairy Queen!” I suggested to Gracie, my weary friend next to me. She gave me a cheshire smile and we were off. Little did we know, things were about to head downhill. Literally.…

    So why not put all those three things together and sign up to run the Chicago Marathon?! I'm fundraising $1,500 for Girls on the Run. Girls on the Run is a transformational physical activity based positive youth development program for girls in 3rd through 8th grade. This program teaches life skills through dynamic interactive lessons and running games. Girls need the empowerment and self esteem to believe that whatever they set their mind to they can do it. I'm an example of that myself. All through elementary-high school I was the most unathletic girl I knew of. I decided in 2015 to sign up for a marathon.…

    I think Gwen reacted the way she did when she found Freak in the basement with Max because she knew that Max was his father’s son. I assume Gwen was shocked and scared because in the text, it read, “ She catches sight of me coming up out of the down under and it's like somebody shot her. Like she's scared out of her mind. Additionally, the text also read, “ the Fair Gwen grabs Freak and puts him in the wagon and I swear, she almost runs home, like if she doesn't get away quick something really bad is going to happen.”…

    I turn to face Margot, my face red with anger. “I’m the vulture? You're the one who’s being an unfeeling, selfish jerk! You left him! You! He is not your property, he is his own person. I finally find someone who makes me happy, and you make me feel like a villain! A good sister would be happy for me! Why can't you just let go of your bitterness, and just support me for once!” I whip my head around and grab Josh’s hand. “Josh is my boyfriend now, and you’re just going to have to deal with it.” I stomp off to nowhere in particular and drag Josh with me.…

    I smiled as the all-girl band was playing on the stage. Neon lights illuminated their ripped t-shirts and glam make-up. Adults and teenagers made their way to the front, singing and beating their feet to the music. I fidgeted with the hem of my shirt nervously as I bobbed my head to deep bass lines. My band was next. As Vitamin A was getting towards the end of their song, the stage manager waved to us to start heading backstage. I gathered my bandmates and we followed her through the crowd. Jimmy started tapping the counter with her drumsticks while Maeve rushed to apply some last-minute eyeliner. All I did was stare at the glitter-covered ground, clutching the head of my guitar tightly. Who knew that a girl with social anxiety disorder would be singing in front of hundreds of people?…

    Once upon a time there was a girl who was kind of an idiot but people still liked her because she was not ugly and okay at sports. She was 17. Nothing was really wrong with her, per say, but was anything really right? Probably not. Anyway, one day in this once upon a time this girl was walking along the road, minding her own business. I should probably mention now that in the world this girl lived, no one could hear. Don’t get too excited, she couldn’t either. Like I said, she wasn’t anything special. But as she was walking along this road, something interesting happened. It was in the middle of the day in a suburban neighborhood, so about as boring as a setting could get. No one, especially not this girl, could ever guess what would happen to her next.…

    In every country and culture, women play vital roles in society, but often the only role they are recognized for is their reproductive one. Women around the world have made great progress in improving their lives and the lives of their families, but they still face many inequities in political representation, economic well-being, health, and human rights. These inequities do not only affect individuals but also entire societies, as there is an increasing amount of evidence that improving the status of women is key to improving the health and well-being of families and stabilizing fertility rates around the world. In this activity, students explore the complex relationship between women’s status, development, and fertility. Sharing images of women in different regions exemplifies this information to engage various types of learners. In the following activity, students will first read an overview about the challenges facing girls and women in some of the world's less developed countries. They will then watch a series of photo essays and short videos online that illustrate different aspects of the real lives of girls and women including school, work, early marriage, pregnancy and motherhood.
